If you come here and insult the employees, then you're Cruisin' for a Bruisin'. However when I came here I was simply Cruisin' for a Crepe. If you have a problem with that then honestly, I don't give a Crepe.
What to get: Nutella Crepe.
What else: They have all kinds of crepe, not that it's crepe but you know what I mean.
I was on my way to quiz (which begins at 7pm, 5 mins away from Larkin) and it was 6.55pm. So what did I do? What any good Fox would do. I stopped at a packed-to-the-rafters (proverbial rafters because there are no rafters at Larkin Square) Larkin Square, and tried to "grab something quickly" from one of the 756 food trucks on offer.
I was distracted by some stunning girls (who were either 15 or 35, and I couldn't tell which), but eventually chose a food truck that I didn't recognize - Cruisin' Crepes. I don't think it was at Larkin last year, though I'm told that it did exist last year in some shape or form.
Their "official" website is a facebook page, which makes me wonder what Yelp's problem is with the "not linking to facebook" as the official site, but alas. Here it is:

I ordered the Nutella Crepe which came to 5 plus tax. It's a little steep for a crepe, but the crepe was pretty big. Let's go through the bad and then the good.
(1) I didn't like the crepe itself. It was boring, lacking taste, cookie-cutter. It was nothing like the ones in France, in fact it can't even be compared. I tried the crepe by itself, by the way, to form this opinion.
(2) It took forever to get served and they kept messing people's names up.
(3) Again, the prices slightly high.
(4) They put way too much "sweet stuff" all over the crepe, literally drowned it in chocolate syrup and nutella.
Now for the good.
(1) The people working there are super super friendly.
(2) Though the prices are high, compared to other Buffalo food trucks, they are less than average.
(3) Though the crepe wasn't great, compared to other Buffalo food trucks, it was stellar.
(4) Though I didn't like the sweet stuff smothering my crepe, nor the crepe by itself, I have to admit... once the two were combined, it was really tasty! If you just shove it all in your mouth (that's what he said) which is not usually my style (that's what she said), then it really does work. It's a high 4 star rating if you do it that way.
(5) I gave the remaining half of it to my friend that loves crepes, and she absolutely devoured it and loved it. But then she's easy to please. If you know what I mean.
So there you have it. Another mediocre and slightly overpriced Buffalo food truck, but if you consider that they are all mediocre (or worse) and overpriced (and then some), then this is actually one of the best of a bad bunch. And if you get the Nutella Crepe and shove large chunks of it in your mouth (nomnomnom) you might actually love it. So yay.
And if you keep dropping your Crepe then your "Losin' Crepes." And if the crepes are made using my friend Sue who mysteriously disappeared when this truck opened, then "Sue's in Crepes."
OMG. I need to call the police. read more
