Sketchy Mexican Food Truck

This Asian Mexican food truck is heavenly. Located at Drexel University, it's very convenient to the Amtrak Train Station at only an 8 10 min walk away. I saw a food influencer post videos of the tacos from Cucina Zapata and I knew I had to try it the second I visited Philly. I ended up getting the Cap'n Crunch Fish (Tilapia Tacos, and they are not playing around when they say Crunch! The fish is fried to a crunchy perfection. The breading of the fish is super tasty and they definitely do not skimp on the amount of fish you get. I love all the sauces they drizzled on top of the tacos too. I got my tacos super quickly and the service was really friendly. The tacos were bigger than your average taco too which was a nice surprise! It is definitely a little messy to eat, but they provided tons of napkins to account for that. At $9 per two fish tacos, this food truck offers a quick, yet fantastic quality of food for a great price! Cucina Zapata is a must try if you're in the area and looking for a quick bite. They're open Monday to Friday (and sometimes Saturdays! , but definitely check their Instagram to see when they're opened or closed. People also say that they only take cash, but on the food truck there was a Venmo QR code, which inclines me to think they also take Venmo! Definitely check out this food truck you won't be disappointed!

My last review was almost 9 years ago.....dang! This place is just as good as ever. Stopped by and got the veggie burger and a thai tea. Prices have increased from my college days but now the burger comes with chips which was a pleasant surprise. The veggie burger is slightly different but possibly better?? My biggest complaint before was that it would fall apart very easily. The burger I got today was darker in color but it held together A LOT easier. The guy who took my order was really nice. When I asked if the veggie burger was the same he said yes but possibly better . I ordered around 11:45 and it was streamline and easy. I remember waiting 30mins+ in the past so it 's nice that it was an easy experience. They take venmo and cashapp. Glad I stopped by and need to come back sooner rather than later.

THE BEST FOOD TRUCK EVER! College was significantly better knowing they were right around the corner from my class lol. I hope really hope one day they open a restaurant in Philly. Im originally from NYC and would drive to Pennsylvania for them. The chicken was always crispy, and the sauces were soooo savory. Eating their food brought tears of enjoyment to my eyes. The prices were perfect for a broke college student at the time

This place is great! The fish taco is one of the best I've eaten. Lots of fish, crisp veggies and a flavorful sauce spicy but not too spicy, literally just right. Chicken katsu and Thai iced tea also. Had hungry track boys here and we all loved it. Thanks!
