NYC Food Truck Brunch: PB&J On French Toast From Toast Monster

NYC Food Truck Lunch: Bistec Torta From Mexico Blvd

They don’t have a large menu, but what they do (tacos and tortas), they do well. We were in the mood for a sandwich, so we ordered a bistec torta, with extra spicy sauce on the side.

NYC Food Truck Lunch: Veggie Combo From Shorty’s

Eddie’s has expanded on their initial pizza menu with some nice sandwiches and Italian sliders, but they didn’t have any sandwiches the day we went. Must have been a snafu with the rolls.
