Fresh Delicious Food Truck

94/100

Argentine food truck where owner Hernán is hands-on—the empanadas are homemade with a crispy golden exterior, the milanesas execute perfectly, and the warmth is genuine rather than performed. Open until 5am, which makes it a real option for the very late crowd. Quality holds up across multiple visits, and the value is there without feeling cheap.

Sahara Grill

92/100

Palestinian-family-run Mediterranean spot where the seasoning is dialed in—people comparing their shawarma to 20 years of alternatives.
