breakfast tacos from Honest Tom's foodtruck (Clark Park)

Scrambled eggs, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, guac on a taco. Basic and good.

Don Memo's tacos al pastor

Tacos from the Don Memo's food truck on 38th Street between Walnut and Sansom Streets. This food truck is perhaps one of the slowest trucks ever-- you can get there at any time and it will still take at least twenty minutes. I don't like the carnitas (too fatty, not crispy), but the al pastor is nice. Also the "spicy" is a tangy tingly but not super hot spicy. 

Twenty minutes +$2/taco.

macarons

from the Sugar Philly dessert food truck, which feels like a total knockoff of NYC's Dessert Truck with dessert truck's prices. The guys who work the truck are very nice though.

Dessert Truck, btw, has both opened a brick&mortar http://www.dt-works.net/ on the Lower East Side and the truck itself is back in action. Hurrah!

Sugarphilly's macaroons: $1/macaron

rectangular crepe from Drexel campus food truck

Most of the crepes I've encountered (Houston Hall's Pari Cafe Creperie, Reading Terminal Market's crepe place- Profi's creperie ) wind up as wedge shaped pockets. In contrast, the guy at the crepe truck at 33rd and Market St in front of the Drexel library makes almost burrito like crepes with as much filling as the Pari Cafe place. He takes his time and takes care to garnish each crepe with a drizzle and a sprig of something. This particular crepe contains coconut chicken, rice and veggies- carbs stuffed in carbs.

Buttercream Philly foodtruck

Philadelphia is having a veritable renaissance of dessert/cupcake oriented foodtrucks including http://www.buttercreamphiladelphia.com/ . This truck annoys me slightly due to its inanely enthusiastic twittering and the fact that it is varying its scheduled stops every week right now, forcing me to actually DO SOMETHING to find out where it is. Also $2 for a small cupcake is a mild ripoff. $2 for a variably sized cupcake is also annoying.

The three in front are banana cupcakes frosted w/ Nutella buttercream. They are about 25% smaller than the ones in the back. The bigger cupcakes are chocolate cake w/ peanut butter buttercream and vanilla/vanilla.

cupcake truck

Some cupcakes from Buttercream, a cupcake food truck in Philly. The cupcakes were reasonably good and not dry/crumbly, but I don't think I need to seek them out.
