Queens is a popular stomping ground for foodies and many are straying off the beaten path of get their fill. NY1's Ruschell Boone shows us the hot spots in Jackson Heights and Corona.

Corona is a neighborhood with a lot of flavor. You can smell it and taste it all along Roosevelt Avenue where the food trucks serve up mostly Latin American and Mexican dishes on the sidewalk. Most of the customers are people looking for a taste of home.

"When I come to visit this area I come to this place because the food is so good," one woman says.

The roadside experience is popular among residents from all over the city, though. For some it's culinary adventure.

Boone: "What kind of foods have you tried so far?"

Man: "I tried the Islamic meals. They have the rice and the chicken."

Woman: "I like trying new things so I always try from different carts because they are all from different cultures."

The gorditas, arepas and empanadas are popular quick bites but few menus are in English, so people will often go with the owner's recommendation for larger dishes. 

Jamie Burbano: "Fish Encebollado."

Boone: "What's that?"

Burbano: "It's like a soup made from Yuca, yams."

Burbano has been selling Ecuadorian food on Warren Street, near Junction Boulevard for 16 years. 

"It's cheaper than the restaurant and you order the food the food, one minute, you have the plate," Burbano says. 

His truck is among the well known places to eat between 74th Street and Junction Boulevard. Along the way, there are plenty of other vendors selling ice cream, shaved ice, fruits and other treats. Many are not licensed, but the trucks generally are. Jeff Orlick runs a popular blog about where to go and what to taste here. 

"There is always something new around here and people are really friendly and the food it great," Orlick says.

There is usually a steady stream of customers during the day, but the food trucks really cash in at night.

"People work late in the area and they come home late at night 11 p.m., 12 a.m.  and they want food that's hot and cheap and they find it here," Orlick says.
