(presumably) Unlicensed vendors in Woodside and Jackson Heights

Don't wanna create any waves for these people so I'll be kind of vague about their locations.

Have seen a woman at one of the busier corners in Woodside selling a particular sort of taco - the name of which I cannot recall - with the usual different fillings. They had apparently been pan fried, and reminded me a bit of a Jack in the Box taco (not a bad thing). Does anybody know the vendor and, more importantly, the name of these tacos.

There's also been a guy selling what looks like bhelpuri in Jackson Heights the past few weeks. I haven't tried it as I figure I can get as good or better from area shops. Would be happy to hear from anyone that's tried it telling me I'm wrong.

that guy sells them out of a cart, right? I haven't had it, but when I passed by the other day, he was swarmed with people. looked like he was using garbage-bag like holders, so it seemed nasty yet intriguing.

btw, now that it's hot, there are a TON of helado people out. many with coolers and homemade ice cream. wonderful.

If we're talking about the same vendor in Woodside, she was selling tacos de canasta. Chicken, beef, beans and potato were the four offerings on Monday night. A buck each. I didn't find the tacos particularly noteworthy. The homey salsa verde spooned into a plastic bag was the best part. Paltry fillings compared with the regular tacos, if that matters to anyone.

Thanks for the bhelpuri lead. I haven't come across him yet.
