Philadelphia food trucks

I love the food you can buy on the street in Philadelphia, and luckily I work in an area with plenty of it! The weather was nice enough on Friday that I decided to take a photo tour of the food carts on a short section of Spruce Street. First, a cart that has been covered in flames:



The rest are not so dramatically decorated, but the food is just as good. There is Indian food:



There is Chinese food:
There are two carts featuring Mexican cuisine, Mexican Spot and Mexi-Philly:




There is food from the Middle East:

Another truck with Chinese food:

And directly across the street, the name of this food truck seems to indicate that some sort of feud is going on:


A handsomely shaded cart offers more Middle Eastern food:

And of course, you can buy hot dogs:

All this in just a few blocks! And there are other carts (Japanese bento boxes, cheese steaks and pretzels, etc.) close by. The trucks with the street food I buy most, the fresh fruit salad trucks, have not yet arrived. The arrival of the fruit trucks is one of the first signs of summer in Philadelphia.
