gloria’s mexican food, on nassau between cedar and liberty. annie and i visited last friday (10/23) and got these giant burritos for just $6/each. we both got a chicken burrito with rice and guac. delicious! and the vendor (gloria?) was super friendly. definitely recommend this one.

got chicken and rice from zak’s halal cart (on broadway btwn liberty and cedar) last thursday (10/8). delicious and a fabulous portion for the price ($6).
schnitzel & things, winner of this year’s rookie vendy award. we visited on their first downtown stop (9/30) after winning the award - the line was ridiculous. a bit on the pricey side ($9), but definitely our favorite food outing so far.
veronica’s kitchen (front street) - jamaican jerk chicken. visited on 9/25. delicious and tasty but caution: extremely, extremely spicy.
we stopped by will goldfarb’s famous picknick [good for you] BBQ truck on 9/15. unfortunately, it definitely did not reach our expectations. we found the potato salad to be bland (too much sour cream and dill, not enough mayo), the bread to be rubbery, and pork lacking in flavor, and the peach pie to be just about average. definitely not enough bang for our buck.
while sam and i have been extremely MIA on tumblr, we have most certainly been keeping up with the food carts. coming up are four weeks of posts (and eating). sorry for the lack of details, but i wanted to get these pictures up before we fall further behind. in the meantime, our friend annie has joined us for all four outings, and stefie has joined us for the most recent (chicken&rice) lunch.
enjoy!

so unfortunately, as you can see, the picnick bbq truck line was ridonkadonk. thus, this will be our next food cart adventure (in which we will leave for lunch around 11:30am to wait on line / beat the massive crowd).
after deciding that we were not going to spend our whole lunch hour waiting on the bbq line, alice and i turned around and started walking down the street… when to our surprise we found the La Cense burger truck!

located at wall street and front street, the La Cense burger truck has received food blogger Adam Perry Lang’s “stamp of approval” (http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2009/06/grass-fed_burger_truck_moooove.html).
we both ordered a cheeseburger with lightly salted kettle chips, with a pickle on the side for alice. we both agree that the burger was delicious and not oily/greasy; however, we found ourselves dousing our burgers with lots of ketchup and mustard, as the meat was a bit unflavorful… and anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that i am regularly an excessive condiment user, so this was something.
the portions were satisfying. the burger was a bit pricey ($7.50). all in all, we give this cart 3.0 stars.
