About El Grillito Food Truck

  • Women Owned
  • Minority Owned
  • Latin Owned
  • Immigrant Owned
El Grillito brings the heart and soul of Mexican street food to the streets of New York, serving up authentic flavors inspired by cherished family recipes. Every taco, burrito, and quesadilla is crafted with the same love and tradition passed down from Abuela, who taught that cooking from the heart always makes for a great meal. With a bright pink food truck and a menu packed with classics like carne asada, al pastor, and quesabirria, El Grillito has quickly become a must-visit spot for those craving real, homestyle Mexican cuisine.

Founded by a seasoned restaurant professional with deep roots in the NYC dining scene, El Grillito was born from a passion for food and a drive to create something meaningful. After years of working alongside some of the city’s most respected restaurateurs, the dream of launching a food truck became a reality. Thanks to a partnership with NYU, the truck found its home base at Cooper Square, serving up fresh, made-to-order Mexican dishes with a side of nostalgia and gratitude.

El Grillito also offers catering services, bringing its signature tacos, burritos, and tortas to events of all sizes. Whether it’s a quick lunch on the go or a full spread for a special occasion, every dish reflects the dedication to quality, tradition, and community that makes this food truck stand out.
