I want to correct my initial review by noting that the food here is amazing if you do not order the Falafel. Yes, it seems insane to order anything else from a place called Magic Carpet, but trust me. Every other dish is crème brûlée to the falafel's Edy's Ice Cream. The woman is especially friendly at this Magic Carpet and always encourages new customers to use a fork to eat the pitas she prepares. Warning: obey her every word. -AG

I've only been to this truck once, but the food was mediocre at best and was very messy. I might review again if I eat there again, but the line is always long around lunch time so I never get the chance. -AG

Hey, It's hard enough to get a decent vegy meal that has more flavor than a romain salad. Check out the lasagna...it's real! -Ben Franklin

They are friendly but the food is not that good and usually messy, so you have to eat, then go wash yourself before going anywhere else. Not worth it unless for the Magic Meatballs... -Falafel Junkie
