I was wandering around midtown looking for something to eat for lunch and I stumbled upon the Crepes Truck. I had seen them on and off in midtown before but had never tried it. I didn't even realize it was them at first because the truck was pink and orange and not the colors of the French flag. (I learned from facebook later that this was a recent development.) The chalkboard menu caught my attention and I stopped to see what they had to offer.
I decided to go with the Iberian crepe, the first one on the list. After I read the description of the buckwheat crepe with chorizo, parmesan, spinach, ricotta and shallots, I couldn't get chorizo out of my head, and the choice was clear.
On a plate, the crepe would have looked substantially larger than it did folded up into a triangle shape in the container. I peeked inside from one of the ends and saw a generous amount of each ingredient pretty evenly spaced throughout the crepe.
The combination of flavors was perfect. You could taste each of the ingredients and they blended so well together. I also liked that the crepe wasn't that oily or greasy, just soft, chewy and delicious!
I would definitely return to the Crepes Truck. The crepe was tasty and like a French comfort food, and was very affordable ($7 for that huge thing!). It shouldn't be surprising that I like savory crepes considering how much I loved the pannenkoeken we got in Amsterdam, which is probably the most similar thing to this crepe. Next time, maybe I'll get a dessert crepe. Can't wait.
