    We had such a great experience ordering from Happy Lobster. We got the Angry Lobster and the Combo…read moreBasket through a delivery service, and everything arrived packaged neat, secure, and fresh. The Angry Lobster had just the right kick (flavorful but not overpowering), and the Combo Basket was generous and delicious. You can taste the quality. We really like the variety on the menu. It makes it easy for everyone to find something they love, including options that work for different preferences and allergies. Fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. We highly recommend and will definitely be ordering again!

    Through my Facebook feed, I saw that the Happy Lobster Truck would be parked in downtown Highland…read morePark, IL, so the Hubby and I were excited to try something new. Since their website mentioned they could sell out, I preordered and prepaid online for a 5:30 PM pickup. Unfortunately, when we arrived, our order wasn't ready, which was disappointing because preordering is supposed to save time. There were only about four other people waiting and two employees working the truck. We ended up waiting close to 20 minutes for our food. As for the meal itself, the lobster was fresh, buttery, and flavorful. I wish the rolls had more of a toasted crispness, they were squished flat. We also weren't fans of the coleslaw because it tasted overly vinegary, maybe it was just an off day? We would have preferred some crunchy french fries versus the Cape Cod Chips. The highlight of the meal ended up being the chocolate whoopie pie for dessert -- absolutely delicious! Not sure if we would try it again?

    I could not have been more stoked to have found the Paris Ouh La La food truck stop outside of my…read moreoffice today! I admit it, I ate my fair share of crepes in Paris, and my God are they so delicious. These crepes rivaled anything I had in Paris. I was so overwhelmed with the options, that I went full on fatty & ordered the Eiffel Tower special... 1 savory crepe (bacon, egg, cheese) + 1 sweet crepe (strawberries, nutella) + fries for $14. I was justifying it by being all "I'll eat the savory one for lunch and save the sweet for a snack later." Needless to say I scarfed them both down within 30 minutes. Absolutely delicious... and super friendly/fast service. Look for the truck with legs & thank me later!

    Paris Ouh La La is a wonderful addition to the food trucks lining S. Ellis Ave. at the UofC every…read moreweekday. My French colleague spotted this truck at lunch one day, and he got us hooked! I've had my fair share of crepes in France, and this compares favorably with anything I've had back there. The ingredients are fresh, very tasty, and the menu offerings for both savory and sweet are enough to satisfy anyone's desires. I personally absolutely love how Jo listens to his patrons. A couple of days ago I asked if by any chance he might have the combination of lemon and brown sugar. Two days later there it was on the menu! There was apparently another customer who asked for it. Stellar customer service right there! My colleagues and I have tried La Parisienne (Ham, Egg, Mushroom, Freshly grated Mozarella, and Spinach), L'américaine (Crispy bacon bits, Egg, Afresh Grated Cheese) from the savory side of the menu -- I don't know how Jo and Daouda do it, but the flavor of each ingredient just comes through (where did you guys get the ham from?!). We can't wait to try the other offerings with the chicken. From the sweet side, we have tried Holy Crêpe (Fresh Banana, Nutella, and Coconut), Bloody French (Fresh Strawberry and Nutella), Crêpe Suzette (Orange Flavored Grand Marnier and Sugar) -- this one's got a kick to it! --, and of course their newest yummy addition the Sweet Lemon (Lemon and Brown Sugar). Paris Ouh La La crepes are simply yummy, priced right, made in a stylish eye candy of a food truck, and the owner French native Jo and his master crepe Chef Daouda are a delight serving the most authentic French crepes in the city! Bon appétit!

    I love that they had an upstairs space with lots of wide tables and seats you can move around. Both…read morefloors have bathrooms and self-serve drink stations. Really awesome space at a crowded downtown location. Foods were served on nice metal holders or disposable/environmentally friendly containers and utensils. The tacos were huge, and I love that they focus on the variety of vegetables on the taco, which is often overlooked at other places. Veggies also make the taco look beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the tikka paneer, the paneer was soft for paneer but firmer than tofu, a really great texture. And the flavor wasn't overpowering. The tikka sauce was light, which I am totally fine with. The chicken quesadilla was also made well and of good value, the kids all really liked it. The salmon was good too but didn't really stand out as much, but appreciate the variety veggies on top! The mexi-Cali shrimp bowl was not bad either, but also didn't stand out much. The shrimp was good but I prefer it cooked even lighter if possible. Flavor was good tho. The rice was long grain, which I prefer, but they do give quite a lot, I ended up having quite a lot leftover. I wish the had a bit more cilantro or other herby mix to increase the depth of flavor, but overall still pretty good. Queso was also really good, thick and creamy, not too salty, but sadly the kids didn't like it as much. Husband also liked the gochujang pork a lot, said it was actually really really good. Overall, we really enjoyed everything we had there. Love that they also had paper towels everywhere. My preferred method of keeping clean haha. Will definitely come back.
