    Bahn Mi Tacos
    Roland W.

    A friend highly recommended the desserts from this food truck. When I showed up, I noticed they offered banh mi tacos! I am a huge fan of both bahn mi and tacos; the combination seemed heavenly. I would have been foolish to not try them! Unfortunately, I should have stuck with the desserts. The meat contained ample flavor but was dry. On the outside, the stale tortilla added no benefits. The basmati rice, to top it all off, only came across as an odd pairing for the tacos. Everything clashed for me. In stark contrast, the salted caramel cupcake tasted divine. The icing was delightfully smooth and creamy. A burst of salty caramel within the center exploded in my mouth after each bite. This cupcake was one of the best cupcakes I have ever tried. The luscious cupcake is enough to lure me back to Pin-Up Pastries unlike the entrees which deter me.

    Pin-Up Pastries - vanilla creme filled chocolate whoopie pie
    Kim B.

    This is one of the few food carts that can really satisfy your sweet tooth in style. My most recent Pin-Up Pastries treat was eaten during Eastside Eats, a food truck fundraiser to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) on March 31, 2012. Large fresh strawberries, buttery pound cake pieces and chocolate sauce on a skewer. Talk about being speechless. Pin-Up Pastries didn't even know what to call it. It was big enough for two. Yep, we shared. And it was decadent. The pound cake pieces were buttery. The fresh strawberries were huge, juicy and perfectly ripe. And the chocolate sauce? Who doesn't like dripping chocolate? We got it all over over our fingers, my phone, even my hubby's chin. Of course, that was just an excuse to kiss him and lick it off. Okay, okay. I know. Get a room. Anyway, as for how to make this treat better? I'd recommend that it be divided into two smaller skewers, served in a paper food tray with a small chocolate dipping cup on the side, and a fork. It would have made the experience a little less messy and easier to manage, especially when there are often no places to clean up at a food truck event. But that's just a nit, and an esthetic one at that. It didn't change the fact that this fruit-and-cake-kabob was awesomely delicious. Hunt down Pin-Up Pastries at that next food truck event and grab one of these babies. Check out my uploaded photo of the food vendor holding a skewer just seconds before we got our sweet-craving hands on it. http://bit.ly/H7lG6h

    maple bacon

    "I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill. I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious, it's good for me, it's the perfect way to start the day." Michael Scott - The Office What's better than bacon in bed? Perhaps, bacon on your desert! I experienced the maple bacon cupcake during the recent food truck roundup at the uber kitschy, insanely retro rad bar The Shelter. Now combine delicious desert with bacon and throw a pin up girl in the mix?!? Wowza. Seriously, this truck has a great concept! Nice moist cupcake, fluffy maple mountainous frosting, topped with crisp, salty bacon pieces of love! Perfect mash up of salty and sweet. I wonder if they use some of the rendered bacon fat in the batter for flavor and moisture..... Maple syrup is sweet! And I'm not just talking flavor. Maple syrup is an excellent source of manganese and a good source of zinc....so really, in essence this is cupcake is a health food :-)

    Whoopie pie
    Maria Pia F.

    Tried last night at the Tucson Food truck round up!! Delicious!! They fill the whoopie pies when you order, so it's extra fresh and not soggy! My 4 year old had the fudge cake and said it was great!! Will look for this food truck to sample everything they make!! Great find!!

    Christina L.

    I'm gonna go with a 4.65 on this one and not a five just because I want more variety! Call me a glutton but I swear one is not enough to get what these ladies have to offer. Menu rotates and the even have a frequent buyer punch card! Buy 9 get the 10th one free. Prices are $3-4 per individual cupcake or slice and worth it. They decorate/garnish on the spot so always fresh. Catch them at most of the Tucson food truck round ups and all around town. You can stalk them down on facebook. The ladies were so nice and gave me the newbie speech to get me hooked! They accept plastic but always have some cash to tip :) I will be back for more. Who can resist a sugary delight with great conversation? Faves: Mexican chocolate and maple bacon cupcakes

    Birthday gifts from the hubby from Pin-Up Pastries. Amazing as always. Mind blown.

There are many flavor options and even a couple of non-dairy choices. The service is a bit hit-or-miss, and really just depends on the staff there at the time as well as the specific location. Beyond the regular cones and cups they also have some options such as the flight, nachos, and the banana split. They also specific which flavors have gluten. They used to advertise that their dairy came from grass-fed cows, but that stopped a few years ago so I'm guessing that is no longer the case. While that's what caught my attention and actually got me in the door, I've stayed a customer because they do mention that their dairy comes from cows that have not been given antibiotics or hormones. So for those who pay attention to such things, take note! This locations is pretty small but I do like that they have just a couple of outdoor tables with chairs so that I can sit outside when it's nice weather.

Dole Whip- 11/10 The girl suggested to mix the flavors and I'm glad I listened because it was really good. You can add toppings but I just added coconut. I think it's very nice that they have complimentary water too. Overall I enjoyed their rolls. They were not dense or dry, even though I wasn't able try them until 3-4 hours after purchase. I'd go back for sure.
