    Had a little bit of a wait in line in the hot sun but it was worth it! All of the flavors were very yummy and taste surprisingly great together. I am not sure how this was my first time trying the original rainbow cone. This food truck is parked in a great location if you are visiting any of the nearby museums or going for a walk along the lake in the museum campus area, we grabbed a cone after our picnic in that area.

    Nice little treat after spending some time at the museum right next to the ice cream truck! Ice cream was delicious and it was fun trying 7 different flavors.

    First time trying the Original Rainbow Cone after living in Chicago for almost two years and wow, didn't know I needed to try this! I could eat a tub of the orange sherbet - childhood memories of the orange creamsicle and so yummy. Same with chocolate and strawberry with some chunks in there! Least favorite flavor was probably the Palmer House because it just tastes pretty sweet with not much vanilla or any other flavor. The pistachio had a slight almond flavor which I didn't mind because I love almond desserts, but it was sort of grainy. Love that these trucks are in so many places, will definitely be getting again!

    First of all the service was really nice. I'm a tourist so I'm usually a bit lost on what to order,…read morebut he helped me pick my sauce and safe to say it was really nice. I got the shrimp basket, it came with fries and some lemons in it. The shrimps were great, I was actually expecting just shrimp. The fries are amazing, but I guess that depends on your preference. It's really nicely seasoned. It's not just salt on fries, there's a lot of other spices that I can't place but I love them. Also try squeezing some lemons onto the shrimp. Order came out within 5-10 minutes. The surroundings are just those of a regular food court. I really recommend! Forgive my half empty box, I ate them on the way home

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 think vendors underestimated how many offices are starving when it hits noon. I liked that there was variety although I wish there were more. Perhaps that would have decreased the wait time. Since it was so long and I didn't want to spend 3/4 of my hour lunch waiting, I ate somewhere else. Mayor Emmanuel and other city officials, I hope you looked outside your windows today and saw the crowds at Daley Center. More food truck friendly events and laws need to be enacted because come on, who doesn't love food on the go? Looking forward to the next one with my office!

Today's rally features two sandwich makers, one empanada truck, and two sweet choices (donuts and cupcakes). I guess I would appreciate more savory choices. I wonder if the trucks are taking turns or have to apply for a spot to set up on the plaza. This was pleasant. I would recommend stopping by if you're not rushed for time.

At first, I was like, "Hey, get me a sandwich." But when we got there, it looked divey, so I said, you know what, let's see! We grabbed a high-top table, but listen: seating is limited, okay? Don't come in there thinking you finna have a whole big, huge party! It is a small space, but we were able to secure our seats, watch the cooks do their thing, and order our food. Everything came out relatively quickly. The whole place has a fun vibe. Pictures on the ceiling, bright colors. Of course, the name Devil Dawgs made me think about the Marine Corps. If you know, you know! I had the Dragonfruit Shake, and oh my goodness. My husband had the Maxwell Street Polish, which I absolutely loved seeing because I grew up eating them. I used to get mine off 95th & Dan Ryan.. so that brought back some memories. And Hubs tore that thing down! Now, my hot dog? Listen, the picture is diabolical, okay? But it was EV-ER-Y-THING! I need to sound it out phonetically because it was literally everything, okay?! It was loaded, messy, and doing exactly what it needed to do. And listen, I am perfectly fine with a messy dog as long as it is good, and it absolutely was! The food came out quick, fast, and in a hurry. You won't be sitting around waiting forever. If you need to catch a plane, train, automobile, or whatever else, you are going to get where you need to go because that food is coming out, okay? If we ever come back to the area, we are definitely hitting up Devil Dawgs again. For sure!

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!

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!
