- GO Burger

The namesake burgers are good. The $6 Kobe hot dog—served on a buttery bun and topped with chili and cheese or apple slaw and jalapeño—is better.

- Frites 'N' Meats
- twitter.com/fritesnmeats
You’ll be tempted to order an “American Kobe” burger ($7.50), but the cheaper ($5.50) grass-fed Angus is plenty thick and juicy enough.

- Steak Truck
- 47th St. at Park Ave.
Enough yummy kebabs ($2.50), cheesesteaks ($4), and chicken-and-rice platters ($4) for a month of lunches without duplication.

- The Treat Truck
- 212-691-5226
A rolling bakery full of cookies ($1 each) and brownies ($2.50 and up). The Mexican Chocolate is a real killer.

- Big Gay Ice Cream Truck

The tasty soft-serve is really just a vehicle for exotic toppings like wasabi-pea powder, olive oil, and cardamom.

- Yvonne Yvonne
- 71st St. and York Ave.
Consummate hostess Yvonne makes a perfect braised oxtail ($6.50) and other Jamaican staples like curried goat.

- Schnitzel & Things
- twitter.com/schnitzeltruck
There’s more food with the platter (schnitzel and two sides, $10), but the sandwich ($8) keeps the focus on the chicken, pork, cod, or veal.

- Patacon Pisao
- 202nd St. nr. Tenth Ave.
Order the “full” sandwich ($5.50), a gob of marinated beef, pork, and chicken and a square of fried cheese stuffed inside two crispy disks of fried plantain.

- Mini Picanteria El Guayaquileño
- 37th St. at Sixth Ave. and Warren St. at Roosevelt Ave., Jackson Heights
Midtowners (at lunch) and Ecuadorans (at the nocturnal Queens location) go for the encebollado fish soup ($8).
|
- World's Best Sandwich
- 20th St. and Broadway
The name may be an overstatement, but the chicken-salad sandwich ($4)—with more meat than mayo—certainly outperforms most delis’.

- Berry Fro Yo
- Union Square
A cheap fix of tangy, unsweetened yogurt, with toppings that range from the virtuous (granola) to the shameless (Lucky Charms–style marshmallows).
