Street Food in Denver

colfax and josephine, Denver / Boulder Central Denver

The halal cart parked at the gas station on the corner of Colfax and Josephine is like a bite of the Big Apple spit out in Denver. The cart offers burgers, fries, gyros and corn on the cob, but the big rice plates are the real deal. Try chicken and lamb piled high on a bed of salty rice and bag salad that's then liberally topped with addictive if nondescript red and white sauces. Most full meals (soda included) cost less than six bucks. Food trucks might be all the rage, but this cart is street-smart.

Most restaurateurs would be wary of comparing their food with manna from heaven -- and a food truck that does so would seem to have an extra bar of credibility to clear. Nonetheless, the connection between the name of the Manna From Heaven van and the food that comes out of this tiny, family-run mobile kitchen is clear. Entrees include noodle platters and delectable banh mi that are supplemented with your choice of “manna” -- skewers of grilled meat or veggies dished up in a variety of plates and options. There are also smaller bites, like pot stickers and spring rolls, plus smoothies and fresh-squeezed fruit juices. And it’s easy to find the truck through the extensive calendar posted on its website, which includes regular stops at breweries and a food-truck row or two; you can also order catering there or book the truck for your own event.

A Filipino/American (among other influences) food cart, The Orange Crunch provides something that’s lacking in Denver restaurants—true Filipino street food. Inspired by co-owner Leshner del Rosario’s hometown of Batac, Philippines, the cart gets its name from its signature empanadas – bright orange dough surrounding egg, mung bean, green papaya and your choice of meats from the expected pork to lamb and bacon. Tacos are served with lemongrass-infused pork sisig style and topped with chili lime salsa. Like many of the Crunch’s offerings, it’s South-of-the-border meets Southeast Asia.
