“For a dollar a skewer we couldn't help but to buy a few to bring back to our room.”
“I come to this cart all the time for a late night snack and I have to say the lamb is always good here.”

Familiar smell mmmm. This was my first time to check out Chipotle with my bf at late night. Lots of people waited to grab some tacos to go. The chain store was located in a strip mall, along with Walbum Supermarket. Have spacious parking lot space.
The food was better than Taco Bell but nothing special, more pricy. Servers were good and patient. Salsa was spicy hmm.
I am not a fan of BBQ meat on a stick from a street food cart but when there are 15+ children, women, and men waiting patiently for the BBQ meat-on-a-stick to cook at the corner of Stanford and Main St. and it is only for a $1, OH MY! I will break my taboo once. (I hate following the herd but it's for Yelp.)
I tried it and it tasted pretty good; I am still not sure what kind of meat I ate (see Matteo's review for possible animal type!) but it was tasty and not too heavy on the marinate. Since I can not compare it to any other BBQ food cart; yes it is good but the smoke; cough, cough!
Tip: And don't try to talk to anyone they'll think you are trying to cut the line. People do look like they are cutting the line when the cook started to serve.
My 1st choice for Mongolian BBQ Skewers … I been coming to this spot for awhile & I just keep coming back. The Lamb, Beef & Squid are on point, full of flavor & tender, always cooked just right. The Spicy seasoning is addicting with a KICK!
Spicy & Xtra Spicy are the only way to go :).
Try not to stand next to the BBQ Cart while the skewers are being prepared. The smoke produced by the grill latches onto clothing … You will smell, like a giant Charcoal Grill The Entire Day!
FYI: Prepare to wait at least
5 minutes … $1.25 per skewer!
A must stop in Flushing! Grilled fresh meat over charcoal. $1-2 prices and more flavor then any Halal stand! Yummy!
I've tried most of the similar BBQ carts in the area, but now I just stick with this one. Of all the lamb kebabs I've tried, theirs is the bestest: tender and juicy meat interspersed with yummy fat. "Da la" will get it extra spicy.
They also have lamb kidneys, but expect to wait 20 minutes for those.
FOOD CRAWL STOP #12:
So my friends and I stopped here because, well, we have noses. And if you happen to own a nose, I don't know how you could possibly resist meat on a stick for $1. The beef is better than the chicken, but both are tasty. Get it with ample spice, and buy 15 of them, for reals.
of note for those following the food crawl list, STOP #13 was a little bakery I don't remember the name of, but I had a sesame lotus nut paste ball and it was everything I'd hoped it would be. It was right on Main street, and deliiiiciousss
This is quite seriously, one of the best kebabs I've ever had in my life. They've been here a long time, longer than many of the other kebab carts you see on every street corner of Flushing. They've remained consistently good, serving Mongolian style BBQ meats. My favorite by far is the lamb skewer doused with dry spice. For $1 a skewer, the meat is not obnoxiously big; rather than chunks, its wrapped all the way up the skewer. The meat is fatty, succulent, perfectly cooked, and fantastically flavorful. Heaven on a stick.
There are often lines here, and its a chaotic ordering process. Basically, just get their attention and put in your order, and make sure you pay attention to when its ready or someone else might snag it from you. Their hours are irregular and they're not always there, but if you see them, drop what you're doing and get it.
Love the squid skewers. They are well-seasoned, tender, and fresh off the grill. Plus, they will only run you $1/skewer. Perfect for snacking on as you stroll through Flushing. Most carts have the chicken, beef, lamb, and quail eggs but not the squid. I am venturing that the squid is also the healthiest option since the other meats are usually very fatty to preserve the juiciness during the grilling process.
I also tried the lamb, which was flavorful but on the fatty side. Tastewise, it didn't really stand out from the ones available at the other kebab carts/stands.
