Birria-Landia

$ cart tacos Queens

Jose Moreno's truck set off the whole NYC birria wave from this Roosevelt Avenue corner. Still the standard: crisp-edged tortillas stained red, consomme that needs nothing.

Order: Three birria tacos plus a large consomme for dipping; the mulitas if you want cheese in the fight.

$ cart falafel Queens

Sammy's Halal

$ cart halal Queens

Vendy-winning chicken-over-rice that out-cooks the famous Manhattan carts, parked at the crossroads of Jackson Heights. The rice actually tastes of something.
