A new food truck specializing in sandwiches has made its way to the neighborhood. The fresh addition, called Heros King, can be found parked at 129 W. 41st St. on most weekdays.

Heros King offers 10 different hot and cold hero-style sandwiches. Check out the truck's take on classic meatball and chicken cutlet subs. Or try one of the specials, like the Pablo (fried chicken cutlet, spicy cold cuts, ricotta, balsamic glaze and hot peppers) or the King of the Cold Cuts, with five kinds of meat. There's a veggie option, too, featuring broccoli rabe, eggplant and provolone cheese.

The new food truck has already attracted fans thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of 33 reviews on Yelp.

Stephanie P., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Nov. 14, wrote, "Heros King blows away every hero I've had in recent memory. I ordered the 'J-Frost' which is composed of chicken cutlet, bacon, fresh mozzarella, homemade BBQ sauce and I added in some arugula. It was delish. The bread was great, the innards were great and the guys in the truck were awesome."

Yelper Hanyi Q. noted, “Definitely one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! The Pablo Special is what I had, and would totally recommend it."

Intrigued? Stop by to try it for yourself. Heros King sets up shop in the Theater District from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. on Monday-Thursday. On Friday, it heads down to the Financial District. (It's closed on weekends.) See its website for more information on location.
