We…read morewanted African food and couldn't find the place we were looking for but happened to see this brand new spot. It turn out to be the best Moroccan I have ever eaten! I ordered the Tagine Poulet and had to order a second one because my kids (who are not super adventurous) abandoned their pizza to steal all my chicken! My wife had the vegetarian couscous which was also awesome! I wish I had asked the name of the woman serving but she was so warm and friendly and speaks good English which was great because my French needs work. I highly recommend this spot!

He then lowered it but it was still higher than the original 12.40 i was supposed to pay. He charges different rates than shown on the menu. Conclusion: If they don't have enough customers prepare to pay extra.

He said he always parks in the same spot. What a TREAT. A real hidden gem. As we were leaving the Sunday market and canals in L'isle-sur-la-Sorgue, we spotted this truck parked in front of the bank in the Square des Marechaux. All we noticed was a picture that said "Exotisme Garanti"... We were three social justice activists that stopped in our tracks stating, "Whaaaaat is thaat?" I mean, we realized we were in France, but still. All of a sudden, the cook lures us over... we were all speaking broken pieces of way too many languages. He started giving us samples of spicy peanut sauces, etc... we were hooked. Of COURSE we wanted fresh homemade Senegalese food. We ordered the Mafe au boef, Acras de Morue, pasteles de poisson, poulet yassa and the cocktail de gingembre (he was sold out of this, but insisted on making us a fresh batch of this fresh ginger drink). The food was SO fresh and tasty... it felt so good and comforting to put *spices* into our body. It was truly made with love. We also happened to be full for the rest of the night - SCORE. Ma-Coumbe food truck was the perfect way to end our visit to l'isle, our favorite town in Provence. That whole experience lacked the "Suburban housewife feel" that many of the other towns exuded. We will always remember this serendipitous encounter.
