Farm Truck

Underwhelming. Sammies are not particularly memorable here. For example, $ 10 Cubano: Hefty price for a sandwich that wasn’t so hefty. On the dry side with only the mustard seeds being the saving grace. Was expecting a bigger melding of flavors, some oozing cheese, more pickles, more flavor. Meh.

14 bucks for a Cubano not worthy of even Miami. Tasteless meat, bland pickles, and I bit into cartilage, not a big fan at all. Should have gone to the taco truck nearby. I feel like in a town known for great sandwiches, I could have gotten better almost anywhere else.
Maybe the other sandwiches were better but I won’t be finding out anytime soon.
By request of owner I updated the cost of the sandwich to reflect their true price of 14 bucks. The cubano is still lacking in flavor and I stand by my review. See other reviews regarding their cubano, it’s not just me.

I ate at the Farm Truck today and what a world of difference from a year ago! Back by popular demand, the truck made a return catering trip to my office.
I went with the Roast Porkwich and it was excellent. I felt the broccoli rabe, sautéed onions and roasted fire peppers were farm-​fresh. The thick cut roast pork was juicy and on point. The Gorgonzola spread added an extra touch of fun and flavor.
I had to walk away from my sandwich for a meeting at one-​point and found myself sitting there missing it.
I didn’t love the watermelon mint salad, but it was more so me not liking the watermelon/​mint mix. I would have gone crazy if that was basil instead of mint.
I reread my last review of the Farm Truck and I think our options for today were a little more creative with more vegetable options integrated with the meat. When I think of farm to table food, fresh veggies are one of the first things that come to mind. I know there’s much more to that, but it’s an important aspect to me.
I enjoyed and look forward to going back to this truck on my own for non-​catered events.

We were lucky to have the Farm Truck at our wedding reception! Working with Kris made the whole catering process easy. We met him over at Yards to try what they had and he sat and chatted with us while we ate and had a beer. As the date got closer Kris sent us a list of possible options, he also said anything not on the menu we could let him know and he’d be able to do it. We ended up doing two salads and three sandwiches (bahn mi, pork tacos, caprese sandwich), which were all great. They truck arrived on time, were set up and ready to go as planned, the staff was super friendly and the food was great! I only wish I had gotten to eat more!

That was the most depressing lunch I can remember. I wish I had taken a picture of it to show you how pathetic this sandwich was. As soon as he handed me it I thought hmm that’s way too light and when I got back to the office to have my $ 10 «ahi tuna sandwich» was just a large ciabatta roll with a few bean sprouts and 3 very tiny strips of dry tuna. I ate the little bit of tuna and threw out most of the roll. Didn’t enjoy any of that AND I’m starving.

Visited the Farm Truck while they were serving at the Dad Vail Regatta. In all honesty, this truck is phenomenal.
As a Cuban who lived in Miami for 7 years, my standards for Cuban sandwiches is very high. This was, bar none, up there with the classic Miami Cuban sandwiches — the pork was roasted perfectly and had just the right amount of mustard seeds. The pork taco my girlfriend had was equally as delicious — just enough spice and not messy at all.
Delightful lunch and I can’t wait to see them again. Buen provecho!

They were at the Battle of Germantown reenactment (in Germantown, of course), and seemed to be doing a very brisk business. Their black bean burger was excellent, and I was lucky to get the last one just as they were selling out. Served on a soft, very fresh roll. If you see them around, cue up right away, as he who hesitates is lost.

The tacos I had today ($ 10 for 3) were very good. Traditional corn tortillas with slightly pickled red onions, jalapeños, carrots, pork or chicken, and other tasty flavors. I think these «gourmet» food trucks charge too much, but the food was satisfying and fresh.

The Farm Truck crew and the food is fantastic. We recently threw a catered company event in Center city Philadelphia. Although we were from out of state, planning every detail was perfect and went off without a hitch.
Kris and the team were so professional from the moment we reached out to them till the end of the our event. They helped us plan the menu options, discuss pricing and the logistical details and made us feel comfortable along the way. The meal service was quick but the quality was top notch. The company we threw the event for was blown away by the truck and the deliciously seasonal menu items they were served. The ingredients were great, portions were generous and the taste was amazing. Without a doubt we would recommend Farm Truck to anyone whether you’re throwing an event or standing in line to pick up a bite at Love Park.

For lunch today, I had pork tacos from the colorful cool looking food truck in Love Park and they were delicious! $ 10 buys you 3 tacos (or $ 7 for 2) topped with slaw, jalapenos, and chipotle mayo. Hoping this food truck sticks around the area for a while because it is definitely a solid lunch option.

Another friday, another lunch truck outing at LOVE Park.
Got the pork tacos (sesame ginger, slaw, house pickled jalapeño, chipotle mayo) and chilled asparagus soup (feta, crostini).
The pork tacos were five star plus! Right amount of pork combined with the wonderful flavors of the jalapeño, slaw, and ginger. These couldn’t have been any better except maybe for some homemade guacamole to go with them which was not sold at the truck.
The chilled asparagus soup, was just not as good as it could’ve been. It definitely was made of asparagus and a lot of it. Unfortunately, it left a bad aftertaste for a long time. This soup looked much better on the menu than it tasted. 2 stars.
Service was fast and this averages out to four stars for the Farm Truck.
$ 15 total ($ 5 soup, $ 10 for 3 tacos)

The Farm Truck crew is AMAZING! They catered our wedding and it was a highlight of the day! From planning the menu, allowing us to use the truck in our photos, to serving our guests fresh and delicious food, they were nothing short of PERFECTION! Thank you!!!

By the time my husband, small child and I got to the event where The Farmtruck was corralled, they were sold out of everything. This tells me that they must be doing something right.
We waited about 15 minutes for them to re-​up their ingredients and let me tell you, it was worth it.
Two words:
Pork Tacos.
They were perfectly balanced. The tender pork melted into the perfectly cold-​crunchy-​spicy-​sweet cucumber and pickled jalepeños with a creamy mayo delicately woven between. Their corn tortillas were soft, and their subtle flavor was the precise canvas needed for these delicious tacos.
I would check out their ever changing menu again for certain.
And the truck is really pretty too.
The only reason why they get three stars is they were sold out of everything by the time we got there. Again, this is a good thing, and also bad. That’s minus two stars.
Though I’m quite looking forward to trying more menu options soon and giving those two extra stars up!
Yay Farmtruck!

I got a chance to order at the Manayunk Streat Fest, & was excited because their line was super short. Pretty good. I wasn’t blown away with my order, but it was solid. I ordered the pulled pork pancake, with bourbon crème fraiche and maple syrup. The pork was amazing, and the pancake was good as well, but we struggled to find how to tie it together. I think it would have been better if there had been more crème fraiche and if there had been a spice factor added in… say a honey chipotle infused maple syrup? In any case, it was tasty enough to warrant a return visit to the truck.

Holy crap, this truck is awesome! I ordered a pork pancake from here and it was amazing! The jalapeño syrup had a good kick and the bourbon whipped cream made it even better. It also has quick service, so that is a huge plus. If you want great food made with quality ingredients, then you must get some food from Farm Truck!

update to 5 stars. Farm Truck is still a consistent part of my office’s food truck rotation, and I’ve found that everything I’ve ordered there has been very, very good.
sad they haven’t had the potato leek soup in a while (come on guys!), but the tacos and sausage sandwich and potatoes and everythang are great as well. taaaad bit pricy but nothing too crazy to lost a star over.
keep up the good work farm truck!

I love having access to so many great food trucks in Philly, but sometimes it’s a challenge to find something healthy to eat from a truck. Farm Truck changes that, with a variety of veggie-​friendly menu items all made from fresh & local ingredients. Some of the wonderful eats I’ve had include:
— Roasted squash sandwich with rosemary goat cheese, spinach, turkey & mustard
— White bean hummus sandwich with grilled asparagus, cucumber-​dill salad on ciabatta
— Tilapia scallion pancake
— Buffalo mushroom on ciabatta with goat cheese, carrots & greens
The art exhibit on the back of the truck is inspiring, and I love the way they display the ingredients they use in crates attached to the outside of the truck. Everything they’re doing is awesome, and I look forward to seeing them more around town!

Stopped by the Farm Truck toward the end of the South St. Night Market event, so my review may not be representative of the usual experience. I decided to stop here because I love the concept of a truck that uses local, sustainable ingredients to make good, simple food.
I decided to go with the thai tacos, which were pretty tasty. They were made from thai-​spiced chicken, jalapenos, and had some cilantro and onions on them. These were wrapped in a warm corn tortilla. 2 tacos per order for $ 8, which I thought was a little high, but I’m happy to pay a little more to support a truck like this. All in all, they were pretty good.
I’m looking forward to trying the Farm Truck again outside the context of the Night Market.

There was a time where I thought that I wouldn’t believe in seeing a food truck dish out recipes made from farm fresh and locally sourced ingredients until I saw pigs fly. And in a way the flying pigs that were painted on this truck mural style did affirm that fact even if it wasn’t in the way that I was intending. And overall it was hard not to fall for the overall presentation of the truck, which even had plant potters on it to showcase some of the fresh ingredients they were cooking with; or the refreshing recipes that the truck delivered with gusto.
The seasonal menu changes almost daily, and is very equal opportunity for meat and veggie lovers alike, and can even be made vegan or gluten free if you ask. But whether its something like a sriracha and beer sausage sandwich with wilted spinach and apple ginger chutney; or a chopped apple salad with mixed greens, goat cheese, and maple glazed walnuts; you’re sure to find something that will leave you salivating. The 2^nd Street Festival menu was nearly impossible to order from because it touted a chicken sandwich that used Yards IPA, and amazing sounding shrimp tacos among other things. But the summer squash tacos sounded like divine providence; and were crafted with fresh ricotta cheese, lightly grilled onions, black peppers, and just a drop of honey for an epic and delicious victory. So all and all this hip and healthy food truck has me craving more!

Farm Truck is simply delicious. This food truck is part lunch truck, part mobile farmer’s market, part art gallery. It’s cool, it’s healthy, and it’s a really nice spin to the traditional food truck.
It’s run by two really friendly guys, Kris and Eliot. Everything they serve is healthy and local — they want people to know what they’re eating and where their food comes from. I love that I can get a lunch for $ 4 — $ 8 that is unbelievably tasty and not covered in the usual food truck grease.
I was an instant fan the moment I tasted their organic potato and leek soup. I can’t even describe it as well as it deserves! Broth-​based, with huge chunks of potatoes that melt in your mouth and just the right amount of white cheddar cheese hidden at the bottom of the cup. It comes with a slice of fresh bread, that’s light and fluffy and toasted to perfection. Oh the bread is so good!
Every single menu item gets rave reviews from my coworkers — the chipotle chili is next on my list to try, although it’s so hard to part from the potato leek soup!
They are mainly serving at Philadelphia University, but we’re lucky enough to have them come to our parking lot at 7^th and Callowhill weekly!
