Food Style: Sweet and Food crepes
Dish Eaten: Nutella crepe and custom vegetarian crepe
Grade: A+
Truck Review:
This is one of rarities. The overall customer service was amazing! Friendly, cordial staff and a very fast delivery as well. The customization at no extra cost really gives power back to the people. The crepes came out hot and delicious, they even drew on a mustached happy face! That gives plus points in my book.
Despite being cooked at such high temperature, the fresh vegetables and the authentic ingredients mixed with the expertly made sauce to create a crepe that far exceeded my expectation. Also, the serving portion was larger than most at the size of a normal crepe found as dessert in a restaurant. Definitively a hit!
//Gluten free crepes are available upon asking//
This blog is mainly on the food trucks I have encountered and the experiences I have had with them. While this is simply my experience it will give you a taste of what to expect. I will provide contact info as well as my ratings in letter grade form in each review. I will also add more food reviews from the different trucks I am eating from again so please check in again from time to time to see updates on the posts. Happy Eatings!!

Food Style: Dessert with ice cream and cookie sandwhiches
Dish Eaten: Mush
Grade: C-
Truck Review:
When I heard of fresh baked cookies crumbled and mixed with artisan ice cream, I thought I died an gone to heaven. Unfortunately, reality yanked me back. The ice cream wasn't impressive. I expected something on par with Fosselmann's or even the good ol' fashioned Thrifty's (Rite Aid) ice cream, but it didn't happen. It was okay, nothing spectacular, like Dreyers bought from the super market or something. The cookies themselves weren't impressive either. At this my vision of clouds and harps were shattered since their whole staple is cookies and ice cream. Like the ice cream, it was okay, it would be equivalent to Nestle's Tollhouse cookies not Emil's Swiss Bakery. Also, the lack of prices on the actual truck make things a tad confusing for a starving student like me and the lack of smililey nature from the workers in the truck make things a bit standoffish. I would pass on this truck.
//note: if there is a messed up order they will give it away for free so keep your ears open//

Food Style: Sushi and Japanese food with yogurt
Dish Eaten: Spicy Tuna Hand Roll
Grade: A
Truck Review:
Cheap, good sushi? Yes please! When you hear sushi out of a truck, most people cringe at the thought but here at this truck the fish was fresh and the service was almost instantaneously. The worker was very helpful and prompt. The price is very reasonable at $3.50 for a hand-roll and they offer all the favorites such as the California roll, the Spicy Tuna roll, and Edamame. They also offer Nigiri Sushi and sides like Miso soup, rice, seaweed salad and house salad. They even have frozen yogurt for dessert if you would like. The only drawback, which is a personal preference, is the lack of kick in the ginger. I would definitively eat there again.

Food Style: Singapore orientated cuisine mixed with all american classics such as burgers, sloppy joes, and even smores.
Overall grade: B
Dish Eaten: Tofu Singapore Burger
Truck Review:
While the time it says to cook itself was 5 minutes, The wait in line is definitely a little more than what you would expect for a the number of people. I was pleased with the customer service. The workers in the trucks are friendly and actually ask for your name to match with the order. If they have a portion of the order ready (as in one sandwich not both) they will let you have it with an estimated time frame as how long it would take rather than just handing it to you. When the food comes, the presentation is pretty cool. The buns are dried a little extra to hold the sauce without getting soggy and the pairing of the Taro chips along with the sandwich gave an different twist to the traditional sandwich and chips. Regarding the taste, it was delicious and well portioned. Its not a huge amount so don't order just one thing if your starving, but the tofu burger itself was a delicate mixture of sweet with the stable taste of tofu. The bun was nicely toasted but the taro chips was the deal maker. Nicely fried and crispy, it was awesome.If your looking for something different it is definitely something to check out
