Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'famous' (well-known) modifies 'street food' (food sold on streets), so the meaning 'well-known local food sold outdoors' is directly derivable from the constituents. This is a common modifier + noun pattern found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Famous street food comes from a simple picture: small sellers cook tasty food on busy streets, and many people stop to buy and talk about it. That's why it now means 'well-known local food' that people think of when they picture a city.
