Having my favorite chicken crepe, becoming a Sunday tradition! SO GOOD! Generously heaped with grilled chicken, green chilies, fresh salsa and avocado. If you haven't tried it you're missing out! :-)

Abstract: Fast and delicious Atmosphere: They are a food truck and I purchased their crepes at the St.Philips Plaza Farmers market. They are situated near a fountain and have some table and chairs set up around the fountain. It was a lovely Sunday morning with a slight breeze; very enjoyable when I was there. Product: Crepes. They have a variety of crepes ranging from savory, breakfast and sweet. The crepes are made well, there is the right amount of crispness in the dough. I had the Fig /w duck, which had a generous amount of silvered almonds in it. It was delicious; the right amount of sweetness from the fig and savory from the duck. Service: Friendly service from the gentleman who took my order. Conclusion: Fast, easy, and way above average crepes. I would recommend anyone to try them.

When I go to the St. Phillips farmers market on Sunday, this truck is one of my stops. I try to get something different every time, and my current favorite is the vegan crepe, filled with pesto, tomato, lettuce, avocado, and the crepe is nice and crispy. My only negative about the truck is the length of time to wait for the crepe and that the crepe isn't exactly easy to eat on the go, especially when the parchment paper is rolled into the crepe itself... Not exactly appetizing biting into paper. But I still continue to go back, and someday I'll splurge for that crepe with the duck breast.

FINALLY got to visit the Planet at St. Philips on Sunday...about time!! I got the duck on a gluten-free crepe, and it was fantastic. My 4-year-old got nutella and banana (yes, I know, poisoning him with deliciousness, but you can do much worse) and the part that didn't end up on his face - which was surprisingly little of it - was also fantastic. (I doubt that one can mess up Nutella, except maybe by adding ketchup to it.) My daughter wanted a tamale instead, and was jealous. She proclaims regularly that next time, she's getting a crepe. The delivery system is well thought out and effective - crepes wrapped in paper with a paper cone at the base (think snow cone cone), and they noticed my kids and gave me a stack of napkins, which was much appreciated. The kids were hard to miss, as we were watching the assembly process for a while, which brings me to the only downsides: (a) they're just not set up for high-volume delivery (you can argue whether this is actually a problem - the quality makes up for the lack of speed, but would be nice to have an idea of wait times when one orders), and (b) they ran out of some items; in their defense, it was late in the morning and extremely busy on the Planet. You can text your order in advance - we will probably do that next Sunday! I'm getting the chicken!

I have the good fortune to be visiting friends in Sierra Vista, AZ, who also happen to enjoy quality and tasty food. We all look forward to finding new gastronomic delights that tickle our tastebuds. Today my friend suggested we head to the Sierra Vista Farmers Market to enjoy a wonderful crepe. Apparently my friend looks forward to Thursday's when Planet of the Crepes is at the local market. I trust my friends tastebuds, especially after she got me drooling by looking at the menu on their website. After choosing our crepes my friend texted in our order. I was impressed with the fast response to the text. We headed that-a-way (as I'm still lost) and shortly arrived at the park where the Farmers Market is held. The parking is easy and the area around the 3 food carts had picnic tables. Upon getting into line we could see our order dangling on the ticket lineup. It was only about 10 minutes before we were at the window and picking up our freshly made crepes and bottles of water. As I really do trust my friends tastebuds,I'd ordered her personal favorite of the pesto crepe with chicken. OOHLALA! But it smelled delicious! I won't admit to sitting on someone's lap at a picnic table, and please don't listen to any rumors of our using rounded bottoms to knock any neighbors off the bench. Suffice it to say we found seats with friendly locals and unwrapped our crepes. The sight and smell of the luscious crepe compelled me to take one bite, then another, before I remembered to take a picture to share the deliciousness. My apologies for the large bite out of the crepe, but I doubt you would have waited either!! The crepe was FAR more than I'd expected! The pesto was remarkably fresh and paired with crisp greens, tender chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes and, I believe, goat cheese. (Don't trust my memory on this, but look at their menu as my tastebuds short circuited my recall ability.) Honestly, the picture does not do the crepe justice. I ate far more than I should have and mourned the two bites I couldn't finish. As I'm here for another few weeks, this crepe food truck is going on my list of 'Mandatory lunch every Thursday' while I'm in Sierra Vista. (Which is the city that doesn't meet my standards for fresh and tasty healthy food, sadly.) I highly recommend visiting this foodcarts website as I found it quite helpful. Their menu, including specials, was up to date,as was their list of dates and locations. It also provided the number for text ahead orders.

I was so excited about visiting this truck, after reading about in in Best of Tucson and the many great reviews on Yelp. When I placed my order, the guy said "it will be about 30 minutes, is that ok?" In truth it took 60 minutes and that was not OK. A food truck should run like clockwork and turn out the food quickly. There were 3 people working in the truck but they seemed very disorganized. One guy left twice while I was waiting for my food to run over to Trader Joe's for more supplies. Maybe it was an off day for Planet of the Crepes but I was tempted to just walk away and forget my paid order.
(2)Vi L.
first time eating a crepe by hand, but it was really good had the bananna nutella crepe and my hubby had the pesto with chicken. comparing it to cafe Marcel's on 4th ave, it is slightly better than Macel.
(5)Donn A.
Yummy crepes. I tried the pesto with chicken and banh mi. It's a big portion that I could only eat half of it. Good for breakfast at the farmer's market. The wait was at least 30 minutes on both times I went.
(4)Isabella J.
This mobile gem is for sure serving up some legit crepes, no doubt, they are super delicious. I've had the pleasure of being the first person in line to order the Bahn Mi Crepe only to wait around for 20 minutes.....every time, and I've also had the pleasure of waiting in line deeply craving the crepe with pesto....only to be told they had no pesto, sad face. So while Planet of the Crepes is making delicious crepes, I find it to be consistently way to slow and seemingly under prepared to serve the crowds. Perhaps they are cooking all the different meats to order? I'm not sure, but the long waits keep me from granting that fifth star. But once you have that perfectly wrapped in super thick high quality paper crepe in your hands, time kind of just doesn't matter anymore. They really are that tasty! The Bahn Mi is essentially the crepe version of the sandwich with slow braised pork, a tangy sauce, lot's of lettuce, carrots and green onion. My personal favorite. The ingredients are certainly fresh, the crepes are generously sized and the prices are fair. Planet of the Crepes definitely stands out at one of the best mobile eateries in town. Good to know: You can text your order in, although I'm not sure that it will save you time. They also have gluten-free crepes! And vegan options too.

We finally got a chance to check them out at the Tucson Botanical Gardens Luminaria Nights, 2012. My husband stood in line and waited for 3 kinds of crepes: A banana cream for the boys that was a hit, a "Minga" chicken and hot pepper topped with Asian cabbage & cilantro for me and a Mexican style one for himself that has guac. All I can say is we all devoured our own and none of us tried each other's but I really loved my "Minga" which was pork. The peppers at the bottom were a nice surprise and not too spicy. I would love to try the sweet ones next time!
(4)Cheryl M.
Neither rain, nor shine, nor potential meteor shower could keep me away. I sent some co-workers to POTC the other day during the height of monsoon, for their first crepe experience and they're HOOKED. I had them pick me up the smoked chicken, green chile, avocado, tomato crepe and it was spectacular. They've nailed the smoked chicken flavoring! One of these days I'll get around to the sweet crepes!
(5)Kamryn C.
I'm sold. I tried the crepes at the farmer's market this morning and was definitely impressed. I ordered a crepe with pesto, spinach, tomatoes and goat cheese, and proceeded to chow down. The pesto and goat cheese coated the entire crepe and were the best part. I was a little disappointed that the spinach and tomatoes in the center weren't cooked, but it didn't detract from the crepe that much. One of my man companions ordered a crepe with roasted peppers, smoked chicken, avocado, jack cheese, and tomatoes. His crepe was similar to mine, in the fact that the ingredients (other than the chicken and cheese) were uncooked, but in his dish it made it feel fresh rather than incomplete. I will definitely be back to try them again. The savory crepes on the menu sounded innovative and the sweet positively sinful.
(4)Allison M.
The crepes were very good, flavours were spectacular, quite expensive in my opinion for the cost of ingredients however, the customer service is lacking, no hello, thank u, no response to my comment on following them on Facebook and being exited to try them out finally...I won't go back...I'm quite soured by the experience unfortunately.
(2)Joseph L.
Well~~I think its about time I write a review about Planet of the Crepes, not because they need another 5stars review but I just wanted people know what they have not just the crepes but also attention to details that make them not just good but great. Just feel the napkins and the papers that wrapped the crepes... even the drinks they used to sell was imported Lorina soda. (too bad she stop carry it because it wasn't a big seller). Everything from that truck are delicious and freshly made with the quality ingredients (Now I sounded like a commercial and no they didn't pay me, instead I pay them almost every week..... sometime twice.....) Try once and you will understand why all the 5 stars.
(5)Eleana H.
Wow I love this place.... I normally frequent this food truck during Sundays @St. Phillips for breakfast... and I love getting the vietnamese bah minh crepe..... I have also tried the fig w/ duck variety.. and that is also delicious! My only gripe is that you have to order the crepe 30 mins before you intend to eat it.. because they are so busy!!! I often just park my car.. order the crepe.. do my grocery shopping for the week at the farmers market.. and then return for my breakfast. =)
(5)Gerin M.
I'm pretty sure I've eaten everything on their menu and all of it is great. I've yet to eat the duck crepe the way the menu has it because she is always running out of bacon, but as she tosses in some extra duck to make up for it, I really can't complain, I'd just like to try it the way its intended. the food is a bit pricey but for the portion size its spot on. I would like to see a half size option some day as one is not quite enough to satisfy me but two is too much food. when other food trucks are around, its less of an issue as it tends to make me try multiple vendors, but I almost always catch this truck at the oro valley farmers market where its just her.
(5)Loura B.
So I've only eaten from this food truck once, but that's seriously all it takes. It's a bit pricey, though well worth the quality of ingredients. Think goat cheese, spinach, applewood bacon, figs, duck... There are several choices. Not to mention the Nutella and fruit options. And they stuff the crepe. Drool!
(5)Jenni L.
I first was able to sample Planet of the Crepes at the Oro Valley Farmer's Market (in case you're wondering they are there on Saturdays). I love these ladies, their crepes are amazing. They are fluffy and delicious and the fillings you can chose from are out of this world. I think they did a good job naming themselves Planet of the Crepes, because as someone who didn't particularly feel one way or another about Crepes I will tell you I'm a POTC convert. I love Planet of the Crepes so much that I visited them twice in one day at two separate locations. The first time my husband got the chicken, avacado, tomato, and green chili savory crepe while I got the nutella and strawberry crepe. Can I just say their nutella is amazing and I'm pretty sure it's homemade. Later that same day we visited again and had the sweet banana, strawberry, and custard crepe as well as the savory butter braised yukon gold potatoes, prosciutto, and manchego cheese. WOW I must say the proscuitto, potatoes, and cheese were the most amazing combination I have ever had. I will be back many more times to sample these wonderful crepes!

Cue theme music to a cheesy 80s commercial with a kid skateboarding or similar imagery.... Crepes are good food, you can eat them anytime Even at supper time When I see the crepe truck, I know I am in luck! Lunch time downtown, Breakfast time farmer's market, Dinnertime at the round-up You can even find the crepe truck at the top of a mountain! So, yeah, I love crepes. I make them myself at home pretty often, so I can be picky. But Planet of the Crepes won me over with combos like fig and manchego, smoked chicken and green chiles, and strawberry rhubarb. Sometimes they can be extremely sloppy to eat and all the ingredients get bunched together. Still, as one of the founding food trucks in Tucson, they get mad respect. And eating one of their crepes is always a special treat.
(4)Elyse P.
I was on a mission to find Planet of the Crepes - I finally found them at a food truck round up and got to see for myself what everyone was raving about. They were not wrong! I went for the duck crepe and shared the Nutella and banana crepe for dessert. The duck was perfectly prepared, but the crepe was a little greasy for me. The flavors were full and unique. And the Nutella crepe ... well, you just can't go wrong there. I'll admit, I have none of the caveman instinct and hunting for my food is not appealing, so that's the major downside for me. If there was a shop to go to, I'd definitely be back.
(3)Laura D.
I went to the Tucson Roller Derby again Saturday night and remembered that the crepe I had last time was delicious, so I was excited to try another. Both times I had savory crepes, as they were my dinner. And both times they were delicious! The first time I got something figgy and cheesy. (edit: fig, manchego, and almond was the filling.) It was soft, warm, and delicious. This last time, I decided to cheat a little (I'm a vegetarian) to try the duck one with apple ginger jam. The duck was a little too heavy for me, since I don't usually eat meat, but it was very tasty, and the jam and cheese and crepe itself were all perfect. I've got plans to go see them at the St. Philip's Farmer's Market on Sunday morning. They travel with their crepe-mobile, which is a bonus in my mind. Sunday I'll get a sweet one. And I'll be sure not to eat dinner before the next Derby match. Maybe I'll even do a bunch of exercise before I go so I'll be hungry enough for a savory AND sweet IN THE SAME NIGHT! Look out, I can get crazy. OH YEAH! THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE CREPES AVAILABLE! So, you know, all you gluten intolerant people can partake, too. Yay!
(5)Joyce C.
Planet of the Crepes, you had me at crepe. That was bite number one -- the oh-so-flavorful, tantalizingly crispy crepe. Bite two: melted goat cheese, so creamy I stopped chewing and let it just sit on my taste buds. Bite three: a pocket of freshest of fresh tomatoes, spinach and warm mushrooms. And the pesto. Oh. The pesto. Enveloping everything. I was lucky enough to be second in line to order at the Friday Jesse Owens Park Farmers Market, where I snagged a table in the shade and savored every bite. I even gnawed on the paper at the bottom of the ingenious cone the crepe is served in to make sure I got every last nibble of yum. I can't remember when I have had anything quite so face-slapping good.
(5)Denis F.
My favorite food truck in town. Absolutely great food hands down. Where else can you get duck's breast in any form for lunch? Much less in a breakfast crepe with Havarti cheese and bacon? Try the banana, custard, strudel crumb and whipped cream crepe and then you'll have a new definition of "addiction". You'll just plain cry with joy after devouring the milk chocolate and nutella crepe, which is a lot like a Nestle's Crunch Bar. Jessica's (the proprietor) breakfast crepes outsize any Mexican breakfast burrito in town. Other towns could only wish for food truck food this good. Heck, a lot of restaurants in Tucson don't even serve food this good or creative.
(5)Bernadette C.
Thanks to yelp, I had my first crepe from POTC. I kept bugging my husband about all the great reviews it had & how I had to try it. Well I finally found the truck at the food truck roundup II, & it was the first truck I stood in line for. I had the smoked chicken crepe, and it had sliced fresh apples and walnuts and cheese. It was just delicious. The second time, I found her behind the Tucson bank. It was a rainy day and I stood in the rain just to have her crepes. I was decided to get the smoked duck but it was sold out and she had just opened. I ended up getting the smoked chicken but this time it had Monterey jack,chiles,salsa, and avocado. It was worth standing in the rain for. I am still looking forward to trying the smoked duck crepe & a sweet crepe!!! See you at the food truck roundup POTC!!

What a sham! After a night at a local resort, I sought to surprise my wife with the highly reviewed "Planet of the Crepes." After driving around through always welcoming chain linked fence streets, we finally arrived at the Farmer's Market. Parking was a complete nightmare!! We had to navigate our way through endless hordes of coffee ground loving, heads of cabbage buying, Tucson hippies before locating the crepe truck. The line was around the corner, and as we waited for a few minutes, the intellectual in front of us informed that the staff told her she is the last person to get a crepe. IT WAS ONLY 10AM!!!!!!! A crepe place that runs out of its only product by 10AM is deplorable. Then again, what do you expect: IT'S TUCSON!!! This place needs to get taken down a peg.
(1)Mia J.
Omg so good! Had the Le Banh Mi and the Nutella & Banana. Now sitting at home wishing I lived closer to Tucson so I could visit them more often. Delicious!
(5)Matthew J.
This place rocks! My wife found them by driving around on tange verde one day and has bee obsessed with them every since! I think she likes all the flavors and the new one that they try every now and then. My most memorable creppe was two weeks ago this sunday when i tried a breakfast crepe... it was to die for! Note to self : wake up sunday and track down crepe truck!
(5)Amanda D.
I am officially obsessed with crepes from Planet of the Crepes! If anyone wonders where I will be on a Sunday morning... I will be located at the St. Phillips Farmers' Market for a super scrumptious crepe. I was introduced to these unbelievably yummy crepes at 2nd Saturdays and have been back for two more. The obsession was fast and furious. I had one on a Saturday night and showed up the next morning for my next at the Farmers Market. A week later, I was back for my 3rd crepe. This time, I introduced them to my favorite kid and we decided our new tradition would be sharing a Sunday morning crepe. Brief descriptions of the most fabulous crepes to be found in Tucson... Crepe 1. Savory crepe filled with pesto, goat cheese, spinach and tomatoes. Delish! Crepe 2. Sweet crepe. This crepe was a weekly special and was filled with coconut cream, mango and fresh strawberries. There truly are no words to describe my intense happiness over this crepe. It was just so beeping good!!!! In my best dreams, this crepe shall be offered again. Crepe 3. Sweet crepe. Fresh cherries, milk chocolate, coconut cream and toasted coconut. We loved every bite! I'm looking forward to my next crepe treat!
(5)Aishan S.
I finally went out to the St. Philip's Farmer's Market this morning with a few girlfriends to try the crepes. I had only ever had a crepe from Ikea, but this time, I wanted to try a sweet one with fruit. My friend and I both ordered their special: mango, strawberries, blueberries, French custards, whipped cream, and streusel. It was heavenly, but I would have preferred less whipped cream. Although this is a personal taste preference, the whipped cream did make it a little more fun to eat. The crepe came wrapped in a fancy paper cone (my friends couldn't help but play with the elegant paper that resembled an extremely thin strip of wood), and the whipped cream rested nicely on top. Each bite I took guaranteed my nose to be smudged with whipped cream since we didn't have forks today, but this of course made for a better time as we giggled at our inability to eat the exquisite pastry with grace and finesse. Our trip to this cute food cart at the farmer's market was a wonderful start to Sunday. Next time, I hope to try a savory crepe, and I want to bring my family here as well! My mom would definitely love the farmer's market atmosphere while my dad and my sister indulge their sweet tooth.
(5)Bethany S.
Amazing! Our family ordered the Le Bahn Mi (Coconut braised pork shoulder, pickled carrots, candied jalapenos, nappa cabbage with mint, cilantro and basil), the Fig (Manchego cheese, fig jam, toasted almonds), the Chicken Pesto (Basil Pesto, mushrooms, goat cheese, spinach, tomatoes, chicken), a nutella and banana, AND the french fries. It was all delicious!!! My favs were the Bahn Mi and the Fig, and the french fries are a MUST.
(5)Amanda B.
So after running 7 miles (which almost killed me), my running buddies and I headed to St. Phillips plaza to get coffee. The farmers market doesn't start until 9 but, there was the POC truck open and ready for business at 815!! I don't normally eat right after running but I have been missing the truck for months now and refused to miss it again. So I chose the pear, blue cheese, caramelized onions, and walnuts. Holy crepes batman! It was huge, and everything I hoped it could be. I also tried a bite of my friends smoked cheddar, chicken, and broccoli- just as delish. Loved everything about it. Can't wait to go again.

After months and months of stalking the POTC trailer and developing such cravings that prompt recurrent nightmares of trying to chase down a duck breast crepe only to fall to my knees as it escapes my grasp and ascends to the heavens, I am finally writing a review. As you can guess, I'm in love with the savory side of the menu, especially the apple wood smoked duck breast, Austrian gruyere, field greens, olive oil crepe. Sometimes I do break from habit and get the breakfast crepe of eggs, bacon with a little sumtin'sumtin extra like spinach and tomato thrown in. And when the kid gets a nutella and strawberry, I've been known to point out a robot riding a unicorn on the horizon just to sneak a bite of that crazyass goodness. I thought I had it all figured out when today, Jessica strongly urged me to try the Gluten Free and Vegan crepe. Because it was ...delicious? (yes, she said delicious). Not because it was 'healthy' or low glycemic index or higher protein. But because the crepe void of eggs and flour was delicious. Smiling at her sure to be delusions of tasty (after all, she does spend some steamy summer hours in a metal trailer), I gladly accepted the breakfast crepe, GF/Vegan style and all. What else can I say but, damn that girl knows delicious! The crepe, made with the garbanzo flour and ground flax seed as the main deviants, was light and springy (how is that even possible without gluten and eggs?!?!), slightly sweet and had a lovely texture thanks to the flax seeds. It perfectly held the scrambled eggs, bacon, spinach and tomatoes right down to the last bite. I was amazed! And I also was pleasantly full for hours which i attribute to the higher protein and fiber profile of the crepe. I didn't think that POTC could get much better, but then it did. And text-ahead orders? another brilliant idea. I already have my finger on Send.
(5)Nappy H.
Friendly staff and crepes so good that I'd make you smack your momma! Its mobile which adds to it's charm here in Tucson. The variety of the tasty crepes range from duck to bleu cheese...SO TASTY!!! If you live or are just visiting Tucson, Planet of the Crepes is a must do! Seriously, stop reading this and go eat some delicious crepes now!
(5)Jasmine W.
Always the popular choice at any event! The line never stopped but it is worth the 25 minute wait. The people were very nice and you're able to customize your order (within reason, of course). I always default to the pesto with chicken and it tastes good every time. They have a decent selections for a food truck but my greedy self would love to see more options. I would love it if they did a fig jam, apples, cheese, and walnut crepe (hint hint).
(4)Jason C.
20 minutes for damn crepes? 20 minutes later not done? Nothing should take that long. That's what I said to my girlfriend after they took her order for banana Nutella crepes. That being said 30 minutes later when they were finally done, they tasted fantastic! I literally have dreams about those crepes now. The problem is they clearly need a bigger cart, their popularity is getting the best of them and they're slow as hell. 5 stars for the food, 1 star for the time it took, food carts are supposed to be fast after all...
(3)Ana C.
We tried a sweet crepe and a savory crepe during the dia de los muertos procession. Both were delicious. We went with a simple banana nutella crepe--the crepe itself had a hardened sugary outside. The goat cheese and pesto crepe was absolutely delicious. The food is a bit pricey--like other food trucks--but it was fresh and tasty and the woman who took our order was pleasant, which I find important as some other "hot" food truck employees are sometimes arrogant and rude.
(4)Matthew S.
One of the best food trucks in town. Crepes are made to perfection and they use a bunch of different fresh ingredients. I had the fig crepe and nutella/strawberry crepe. Both were very perfectly prepared. Text in your orders in advance as the biggest downside of this place is the wait.
(4)Danny S.
So here's the deal: I've been writing a whole lot of food truck reviews, and up until now I had not written one for Planet of the Crepes. Mostly, that was because I have only had limited exposure to the menu and I figured that other Yelpers have spoken on the overall quality of the food. But then someone told me that when they want to find a new food truck to try, they consult my list first. Gah! Too much power comes with too much responsibility! Thus, I am here to say that Yelpers have not been lying to you about Planet of the Crepes. The owner and head crepe-master, Jessica, clearly knows how to combine a few simple ingredients to get delicious results -- an oft-overlooked skill that the world could use a lot more of -- and her execution is excellent. She's also really nice, which is a major selling point in the food cart world. So do yourself a favor and try one of these crepes. The different options are usually straightforward enough that an experienced foodie will know what to expect the end result to taste like, and the good news is that a) they taste like that, and b) they're delicious.
(5)Ariel T.
Thank you Planet of the Crepes for rocking my world! You serve the best quality crepes I've consumed in years. I ordered the veggie crepe after working up an appetite at the St. Philips farmers market. It was jam packed with fresh spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and creamy yummy wonderful goat cheese. The crepe was crispy, not greasy, and folded masterfully. My friend ordered the desert crepe with mangos and coconut cream, yum! Thank you, thank you. I can't wait to try the duck with gruyere.
(4)Navid A.
It's the real deal! The crepes are perfectly cooked and very light. I highly recommend the pesto definitely a treat for the taste buds. If you like goat cheese you definitely need to try this. I'm not sure if the place's flaws are worth losing a star over, or if they are even things that can be fixed given that it is just a food truck that only makes crepes, but still I have to mention them. As others have said there is a bit of a wait since they are all made fresh and my own personal complaint being that I'm a big guy is that they are not entirely filling. I would recommend this place for breakfast or desert and not necessarily lunch or dinner. Also putting them into plates with plasticware would be less messy than eating them by hand in a wrap. But these negatives are truly small, it's well worth the wait and very satisfying.
(4)Vanna C.
Finally got to try the famous Crepes de Tucson! So so good. I only ate a bit of the crepe (a pesto), but it was so so fresh and delicious. Loved the delicacy of the crepes. even inspired to buy a crepe pan and make my own. The pesto was clearly homemade and delicious. I will be checking back. I do wish there were more vegetarian options (that aren't sweet). I really like the vegetarian and vegan crepes, but I was less than thrilled with the strawberries and whipped cream. The chopped up commercial strawberries were sour andhad little flavor. They could have been much improved by a touch of honey & by soaking in liqueur. Or by using better quality / in-season fruit. As great as the crepe and whip cream tasted it was way too rich with the contrast of soft, sweet, great-tasting fruit and I'm surprised the owner did not notice this. The person serving was so nice -- I was at least 20 or 30 minutes late to pick up my crepe and she didn't blink an eye -- that I may ask her about this. A wonderful lunch option. I will return!
(4)Dale C.
A friend invited me to St. Phillips plaza during the Sunday farmers market. Since then, I've gone back a couple of times and I'm hooked. The nutella/banana is my favorite but the smoked chicken is unbelievable as well. The chicken and green chile is a fantastic flavor combo. Try them all, you won't be disappointed. The challenge is to find out where they will be next!
(5)RM H.
My vote for the Best Mobile Kitchen in Tucson. There is an ample variety of options on the menu. Plenty to choose from but not overwhelming. Broken down into two categories: Savory and Sweet: Sometimes there is a special offering that is not regularly on the menu. The special is usually delicious (Just like the menu staples), and something to try as it might not be offered again. Portions are generous and most items can be split. Jessica will happily guide as to which ones are better left intact. Awesomely convenient with text-ahead ordering and square wallet payments.
(4)Brenner T.
Planet of the Crepes? Uh, more like PLANET OF THE OMG-DELICIOUS-AMAZING CREPES. Alright. One must know that I'm going to have some pretty high expectations if I'm expected to wake my butt up before ten on a Sunday. Am I ever glad that I did! I went here around 8:40 this morning (Sunday) and POTC had set up shop along the southwest-ish corner of St. Phillip's Plaza. There wasn't much of a wait to order, and the choices are listed on a whiteboard. For some reason, the card reader she had connected to her phone didn't like my credit cards, so I was lucky enough to have friends along and they lent me cash. TIP: Bring cash just in case. I would have started bawling if I didn't get my crepe this morning. I elected to try their "Pesto" ($6): Basil pesto, mushrooms, goat cheese, spinach, tomatoes. I added chicken ($+2) and some green chile for an extra kick. I waited less than 10 minutes and out came this funnel of heaven; it is put in a funnel cup and has an interesting presentation...I'm sure there are pictures to see it on here. This was easily the best savory crepe I have had in the United States. I might as well have just transported back to France, because this crepe was identical to those that I had tried from those street vendors in Paris. I've had more than my share of crepe choices here in the U.S. (namely in Vegas at Jean-Philippe and Paris Hotel) and Planet of the Crepes blew these out of the water. While the former ones were quite good, POTC really nailed their take on the French staple. The crepe was a tad crispy, but thin and soft to create a perfect texture. SO. GOOD. The filling/toppings had the perfect balance and I found myself wanting to lick the paper...this crepe was phenom. I can't wait to try their sweet crepes! TIP: Just down the way, there is a little vendor in the market called Anna's...they have a bunch of awesome looking food options but what we got was their mango lemonade ($3). This was the perfect complement to our crepes. They also offer watermelon lemonade. Delicious! Wake up early, beat the lines, and get one of these amazing treats from Planet of the Crepes. Worth every minute of lost sleep!

Okay maybe I should give them 4 stars because they are mobile and I only know where they are one day a week. and that would be at Jesse Owens Park on the east side of town. My girlfriend and I both had the Nutella and banana Crepe and it was fantastic. This is why they got 5 stars and not the 4. I may have to make a date to get one of these every Friday at the park. Yup, it's as good as it gets!
(5)Jessica M.
Fantastic! I have tried the fruit crepes before but yesterday was my first duck crepe! Amazing! The staff is friendly, and the food is always fresh, high quality and delicious. Very reasonable prices!
(5)Deborah H.
Fantastic crepes! Would walk several miles in over 100 degree temperatures to get one.
(5)Eric Z.
I finally got to try a crepe from here this weekend and was blown away by the butternut squash. It was well prepared and it was up quick despite the long line. I will definitely be back to try some more crepes.

I really enjoyed the smoked duck so I am coming back :-)
(4)Elaine S.
I'm in love. Yes, enamored. I had dinner with a fellow Yelper, and he mentioned to me that he had an amazing crepe filled with manchego, fig, and toasted almonds...and when I asked where I could find this epicurean delight, he said, "Planet of the Crepes" and told me that this food truck would be at the St. Philips Farmer's Market today. So I had to seek it out. I was quite successful in my search. Considering that only one woman runs this small truck, I was impressed by the number of items on the menu written on the whiteboard hanging on the side, around 10-12 items. By the time I had gotten there, she had started to run out of certain ingredients. Although other patrons expressed disappointment, I was happy because she was busy and was able to sell out certain items. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside when small business owners are doing well. It was also nice of her to say we could start mixing and matching the ingredients that were left and she would give us a discount. I just couldn't complain. So enough about the back story, let's get down to the CREPES. I ordered TWO. I was double-fisting. My first crepe was a savory one that I created: smoked chicken, goat cheese, tomatoes, and mushrooms. My second one was the special sweet crepe: vanilla cherries, peaches, almond sponge croutons, and walnuts. There was supposed to be chantilly cream, too, but her whipped cream bottle malfunctioned. I didn't mind at all; there was enough goodness in there to make up for it. The woman saw that I had a dog, and probably assumed (and correctly so) that I wasn't going to sit down at the Farmer's Market and finish the two hefty-sized crepes. She kindly wrapped them up for me so I could eat them at home. :-) I had to say that on my way home, I was worried about the crepes getting soggy and leaky. But when I actually sat down and unwrapped them, they were still in PERFECT condition. No sogginess, no mess. YAY! I started chomping down on the savory crepe. It was outta this world. The ingredients were so fresh. The tomatoes and mushrooms were slightly warm due to the warm crepe cradling them. The smokiness of the chicken complemented the goat cheese oh so well! I finished that thing in minutes. Don't forget I also got a sweet one. I had to eat some of it, and it was fantastic. The sweetness was perfect, and the varying textures and flavors danced in my mouth: the crunch of the walnuts with the softness of the cherries and peaches. I had momentarily forgotten about the almond sponge croutons until I bit into one. Probably my favorite part of the filling. I could eat those all day. So, as I was saying, I'm in love, and like any good relationship, it's all about the pursuit, the chase...and I guarantee I will be chasing this food truck again quite soon.

I have to admit, the adorable name is what made me eat at this food cart (in addition to the great reviews on Yelp). For some reason, a silly name will get me every time. And apparently that's what it takes to get me to a food cart - in my mind, those things are vile and disgusting (not trendy and cute like everyone else seems to think). However, this cart was very clean and the staff was great. I was not concerned about food-poisoning in the least. Which you should be at other food carts... What is wrong with you food-cart-loving folks?! It's not cute. Anyway, I should mention that I don't like crepes. They are these weird, chewy, half-pancakey things that are always overloaded with some overly-sweet cream cheese filling or vomit-inducing hollandaise sauce. You may as well just grab the sauce tub and drink directly from it. However, I set aside my prejudices to give Planet of the Crepes a try. And I was quite pleasantly surprised! In addition to having clean facilities, the crepes were great! I tried a savory and a sweet crepe - both were excellent. They had a very nice consistency and just the right amount of filling. Nicely balanced. Everyone should give them a try!
(4)Stephanie B.
Delicious, creative crepes! Best in Tucson!
(5)Heather M.
It's almost Noon, and I'm about ready to start chewing on my desk. My phone rings. I pick up - "bring me food!" The giddy voice of my coworker on the other end - "guess where I am?!" Hhmm, what could possibly cause this much glee? " Planet of the Crepes!!" "Yaaaaaaaaaay!" - squeals of joy ring across the air waves. After oohing and awing over the choices as she reads them aloud I settle on the veggie crepe - mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes and goat cheese with pesto sauce. My mouth waters in anticipation as I wait the agonizing 30 minutes before she makes it in to the office. Finally she arrives - crepes in hand. I dig into the luscious goodness of crisp spinach and lightly cooked mushrooms encased in a delectable crepe. Then zing! That first bite of goat cheese followed by the earthiness of pesto. (insert harp music and angels singing here) My taste buds are in heaven.
(5)Linda T.
found this at the st. phillips plaza farmers market. a lot of people were waiting for their crepes, so i decided to get one too! deciding between smoked chicken with avocado, salsa and cheddar crepe or the almond, fig, manchego, fig jam crepe. i thought i needed some protein so i got the smoked chicken. waited about 10 minutes for my crepe....so i was expecting a real yummy one. overall...it was ok. crepe was soft and soggy, which i would prefer a thinner dough and crispier bite. i felt i had very little cheese and stuff inside in general,...nothing was oozing. they were nice though, even gave everyone a marshmallow bunny on a straw with each crepe order for bunny day.
(3)Rachel S.
Yeow! Great service, delicious food and yes, nice thick luxury paper towels. We had a big ol order of duck, strawberry, nutella, etc. Now everything was good, though I'd say the nutella and custard containing crepes did get messy about halfway down. The duck, almond, fig jam and manchego cheese crepe was delicious. However, I would suggest tweaking it a bit. That's just personal preference, but the duck was a bit too salty. The fig jam added a nice touch of sweetness. However, it Did not offer a distinctive fig taste. I would have preferred a figgier flavor, or added a nice sweet n sour note by using marmalade. The manchego cheese was ok but barely there, and added no noticeable flavours eithet. I'd prefer a nice thick swipe of goat or cream cheese. One crepe was plenty for breakfast. I think it's a bit overpriced, but I sure am happy to contribute to their livelihood. Overall, bravo PotC, next time I'll see about a custom order.
(4)Andrew B.
Planet of the Crepes serves up the best crepes I've ever had. Sorry Paris. There's nothing terribly complicated about anything they serve. Crepes are rather simple, after all. What makes PotC great are the quality of the ingredients and the great taste level the owner(s?) have. Manchego, fig jam, and toasted almonds? Yes please. Smoked duck breast, fontina, and fresh greens? Absolutely. When done right, the simplest foods can be intoxicating. They won't get you pulled over (unless you're double-fisting while driving, a la Elaine S.), but you will spend a few moments in a euphoric trance afterwards. The crepes are a good size (get two if you "need" to be stuffed), fairly priced ($5-$8), and very delicious. You might have to wait a few minutes, but crepes are best enjoyed when not rushed. The owner is very active on both Facebook and Twitter, so keeping track of the truck's location is easy. If you enjoy crepes or have even the slightest desire to have some, seek out Planet of the Crepes ASAP.
(5)Lucy C.
Thank you, Jessica, for gracing us with your amazing crepes in the Oro Valley area on Saturdays! I stopped by yesterday to pick up some crepes to take home to my husband since I had been craving them all week & he'd never had them. The drive home nearly killed me, it seemed like it was taking forever! We had the butter braised potato & prosciutto (a special), the fig/manchego/almonds, & the strawberry/banana/french custard. Needless to say we devoured them pretty quickly. All were delicious but I have to say our favorite was the potato/prosciutto. I also want to mention that the crepes are presented quite beautifully. Do yourself a favor, "like" them (her) on Facebook so you'll know where she'll be and go, go, go!!
(5)Jessica L.
After coming back from the East Coast and not getting the chance to try a Crepe at the many creperies there, I was determined to get my crepe on as soon as I could. Unfortunately, crepes few and far between in this burrito and burger oasis. I read about this on Yelp and checked them out on Facebook (incredibly helpful since they move around a lot!). One Sunday morning, I dragged three other girlfriends with me to come try it out. We warmed up by walking through and checking out St. Philip's Farmer's Market. I ordered their sweet special for that day: mango, strawberry, blueberry with french creme, whipped cream and streusel, $7 I believe. When I got it I was amazed, I thought crepes were supposed to be the size of your hand not your head! As I messily devoured it, I felt like a sitting ad for POTC; at least 3 other people walked by us asking where we got whatever we had. Overwhelming but incredibly delicious. I will have to come back to try a savory one sometime.
(5)OMARA G.
I'm still in a daze of satisfaction after my first sample of POTC. There I was walking around downtown on 2nd Saturdays in search of something to eat ... Italian?? nah... BBQ tri tip?? neh to heavy... Mexican?? not today...when in the distance the word **"CREPES"** lit up the night sky. YES!! that's exactly what I never knew I always wanted. Crepe in question: Mancheco Cheese, Yukon Gold Potatoes, Prosciutto, Thyme etc... The Crepe itself was thin, lightly crispy on the outside slightly spongy on the inside with a touch of sweet The combination of savory flavors was with the touch of sweet was perfectly harmonious. Presentation was street food with class and folded up neatly in a little paper cone, perfect for easy devouring and the price @ $6 was reasonable. I'm a fan! I will be stalking them to get my crepe fix FOR SURE
(5)Janice M.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. This little food truck serves some good crepes. I had duck crepe and my friend had nutella and banana. The duck crepe was REALLY REALLY GOOD. The fresh greens balances out the heavy cheese and meat. If only this truck wasn't in that far east side of town, I would definitely be a regular customer. I would have their crepes for every meal if I could. hmm...yum!
(5)Arlene C.
For two weeks in a row my husband and I have visited the planet of the crepes trailer at the oro valley farmers market. Let me tell you the short drive to oro valley and a short wait time is worth it for these bad boys! I had the banana and nutella. Hubby had the banana, strawberry and french custard. The warm, chewy texture of the crepe and the explosion of the fresh contents inside. Next time we will have to try the text ahead ordering feature. :)
(5)Ana A.
Only one word comes to mind when thinking about my lunch at Planet of the Crepes... DELICIOUS! At my first visit, I tried a savory crepe with smoked chicken, aged cheddar, roasted chiles, salsa and avocado. It was gone before I knew it, and it left me wanting more! I had to go back a few days after, and on my second visit I went for the veggie crepe. It came loaded with spinach, goat cheese, tomatoes and yummy basil pesto. It was divine! For dessert I ordered a simple strawberry jam crepe. It was the perfect way to end such a great meal! Planet of the Crepes has amazing food and the two individuals running things are very kind. No complains from this new, but now loyal customer!
(5)Amalia B.
The pros: Tres delicious, friendly service, no wait, takes credit card The cons: Only by the UofA campus on Sundays and not the best for a spring break body (so good thing spring break's over, right?) Who doesn't love a case of serendipity? After just reading some Planet of the Crepes reviews last week (and being frustrated that supposedly delicious crepes were out of reach for my UofA campus location) I spotted the famous cart at a market yesterday on the corner of Speedway and Campbell! Of course, not believing in chance I made a ridiculous U-turn, pulled into the lot, and patiently waited for the one other person in front of me to get his order. My crepe reminded me of those that I had during a trip to Paris a while back. It was perfectly golden with the crepe's characteristic like a-pancake-but-thinner texture, enveloped fresh fruit and pastry cream, and came neatly wrapped for minimal mess. Mon dieu, pure heaven. Pretty sure you'll find me there every Sunday.
(5)Becki G.
I'm not a crepes person. I'd never even glanced at this food truck's menu. But I hitched a ride to the Friday farmers market at Jesse Owens Park with a friend who had his heart set on breakfasting there. All I can say is: Planet of the Crepes, you've changed my life. You and your yummy food have shined the light on my culinary pre-judgements. I see the error of my ways and pledge to try new things with an open mind and beginner's palate. I had been missing out.
(5)Sylvian F.
Holy Crepe! This may be the best planet in our solar system. Amazing that such a small planet has such a strong gravitational pull - you'll find it hard to stay away from once you enter its orbit.
(5)A N.
Amazing! Had a strawberry, banana, custard crepe at the Food Truck Roundup a few weeks ago. It was awesome. I also loved that when they gave me my crepe, they told me to "have a crepe day!" Loved it and can't wait to go there again soon!
(5)Vera Marie B.
I'd been seeing the white wagon of Planet of the Crepes at St. Phillips Plaza Sunday food market, but finally "bit the crepe." Breakfast before shopping was a luscious banana and Nutella dream. It was so good, that my husband was jealous, and as we left the Market, we bought two savory crepes to take home for lunch--chicken with salsa and basil pesto. The only way they could improve this efficient, clean, creative operation would be to park it at the end of my street.
(5)Aron M.
Awesome! Had chicken with green chili, duck, and Nutella with banana crepes. All were excellent. I look forward to finding and eating again. Only criticism is they were out of some options by 12:30pm and if you come behind a rush there may be a bit of a wait - but in both cases it's hard to flat them for being popular. Try them. Yummy!
(4)Mike P.
My Sunday trip to the St Phillips Farmers Market just got more urgent. Now I want, no NEED the vegan crepe! It was a delicious crepe loaded with mushrooms, spinach, avocado, tomato... everything you could want in a vegan crepe.
(5)Bobby C.
This review is not a knock on their food...I cannot in good faith complain about that....my good friend and I shared the fig, and breakfast crepe. Both were delicious and worth the money. This review is more about customer service. I run a local restaurant myself, and would box the ears of my crew if they gave such poor service. My friend goes here more often than Lilo gets sentenced to rehab....and recognized the owner. All we had asked was that the crepes be cut in half...which they have done for us many times before. The owners response was...while pointing at the gal cooking.."she won't do that", and she had a pretty aggravated aura about her. Huh? Did knives cease to exist in that trailer you guys use for the half hour it took to complete our order? Listen, you are the only game in town at that farmers market....but just a thought....if a similar style place opened on the other end...with super pleasant people running it...slowly but surely...you'd lose tons of business. The food here is really good, that I cannot dispute...but what I tell my crew is....good food with bad service is average food at best, average food with exceptional service becomes good food at the least....you can do better Ma'am....I know you can.
(2)Marissa L.
Amaze-balls. Seriously. Just go..you won't regret it.
(4)Dick W.
It's good but not THAT good. Maybe I'm just not the crepe kind of person. But it's worth the trip on the band wagon.
(4)Corey D.
I feel like I should stop writing reviews that mention how I don't eat dessert because when I do and tell Yelp Tucson all about it, I feel as though it makes me lose credibility. So... I don't reeeeeeally eat dessert, but an introduction to Planet of the Crepes was long overdue, and so I marched my sugar avoiding self up to the front, peered at my savory options and settled on Belgian chocolate with marshmallows. I know, you can judge. Holy cow, this thing is awesome. A complete mess of a crepe to eat (which usually deters me because I hate food that's hard to eat, but for some reason I kept shoveling it in my mouth, didn't care what my face looked like) warm melted chocolate, chewy marshmallows and a light crepe surround. Delicious, just delicious! The REAL savory options also sounded tasty, and I look forward to returning and trying them all. They've seemed to create a home in front of the library during the week and at St. Philips on Sunday and they're super active on Twitter if you're trying to track 'em down!
(4)Kathryn T.
I have been waiting to try POTC at just the right moment. Today, the 1st day of the new year, 2012 was the day! I checked on Facebook and found out that the truck was at St. Phillips Plaza. Off we drove in hopes of catching up with the truck before the Farmers Market was over for the day. After asking around, we found the truck and we relieved to find that it was still there and Jessica was still taking orders. We ordered a banana, strawberry, custard and whipped cream filled yummy crepe . Yep, I'm in love and I'll be back to try more. POTC rocks! what a fantastic concept!
(5)Tracy S.
Affectionately known as "The Crepe Lady" or Jessica...it truly doesn't matter which you choose to call her by her crepes are amazing....the kind of amazing you search out. The crepe is light, thin and delicious but wait, it is then "stuffed" with an abundance of fresh ingredients. The first time I had one I thought it was two that were rolled in the paper sleeve. The duck, smoked chicken, cheese, fresh veggies....whatever you choose you can not go wrong. As for dessert....the banana/nutella crepe is a gift from above. The crepe is warm when it is filled so you get this melted nutella, whip cream, banana...should be a sin crepe that you will not want to share with anyone, ever!!!!! Search out the "crepe lady"....I do know that she post where she will be on her facebook page....you will not be disappointed and I guarantee it will be a new craving that you will continue to want to satisfy.
(5)Melanie W.
Gluten-free news flash! Yes, the other reviewers are all correct: the crepes are wonderful in texture, flavor, price, appearance. And now, for all of us who can't eat gluten, they now make a gluten-free and dairy-free crepe. They wipe down the cooking surface, use a clean utensil, and a batter with no gluten ingredients. If you are so sensitive that you need food prepared in a dedicated gluten-free facility, then food carts just aren't the place to eat. But if, like me, you follow a strict gluten-free diet, and enjoy delicious food, these crepes will become a favorite of yours. My favorite (so far) is the spinach, goat cheese, tomato, mushroom pesto crepe on Sundays at the St. Phillips Farmers' Market. Don't wait until near noon to order, or you will find that they have already run out of some of the ingredients. Thank the owner for making gluten-free batter!
(5)Kelly T.
My love of Planet of the Crepes still holds true. I went to the farmer's market, starving, which is never a good thing. Luckily, right where I usually enter is my favorite food truck. I was fortunate that I was there early and was able to finally try the smoked duck, manchego cheese and apple ginger chutney crepe. I also noticed they offered gluten free crepes (I'm trying a gluten free diet) so I asked for that. It was amazing, a perfect blend of savory, salty and sweet. The gluten free crepe was tastier than the regular crepe in my opinion. It was bliss!
(5)Zeke S.
During the warm months this stand has been located on Mt Lemmon and we have made the drive up just for the crepes. Now that they are in town, I can only imagine what kind of damage I will be doing to my waistline. Fresh fruit with the custardy cream filling, just amazing. I haven't tried any of the savory styles, sticking with the sweet and amazing flavors I already know from them. Soon, I will be making my way over for lunch just to try out one of their savory options. Yumazing!
(5)Nicole D.
I love this place. Very unique crepe fillings and so delicious. Great alternative on Mt Lemmon to cookies & pizza, that is for sure. My favorite is the strawberry/banana/custard, mmmm....Def don't pass this place up!
(5)Charles S.
The best way to describe the crepes at Planet of the Crepes is WOW! with oh la la! Yes, they are that good. It has been a long time since I have had a meal like I had with this little food wagon. It is the kind of flavor "you never forget" and want MORE!
(5)liz g.
Tucson: all points bulletin - get yourself over to Planet of the Crepes pronto. Eat. Groan in pleasure and lick (crepe filling of your choice, likely cheese or chocolate) off your fingers and chin. Marvel. Go home. Think constantly about your next crepe and when you can wait no longer (say a day or two), repeat. If anyone has been to Austin or Portland lately, or been reading/drooling from afar about their burgeoning street food scene, know that Planet of the Crepes could totally compete in these culinary towns where food trucks have spread like wildfire, sometimes at the hand of some of the best chefs and restaurants in town looking to serve a cheap, quick, casual version of their food. The food truck is also the perfect start-up for new talent: a great way to build a following without the major capital needed for a restaurant. For you and me, a great food truck like POTC means you can get a fantastic, filling meal for about $6. They wrap the crepe beautifully and very functionally for into a paper triangular cone so it can be easily taken to go and eaten in the car or, if it's a decent day, sit at the few tables nearby and peruse a great selection of magazines for entertainment. But really, the food is really the reason I'm yelping. I've eaten there four times (three on top of Mt. Lemmon this past summer) and once today at their winter location on Tanque Verde (one block north of the crazy TV/Wilmot/Grant/Kolb intersection on the west side of the road between the Dry Cleaners (red sign) and Coffee Xchange). Every single time has been perfect. I've had the duck, harvarti, and arugula; the chicken, pepper jack, chiles, tomato; a spinach, goat cheese, tomato, mushroom and pesto; and chocolate, banana, and strawberry. Each was outstanding and a very generous portion of the high-quality ingredients to perfectly balance flavors with the crepe itself. All my dining companions have been similarly thrilled. They even serve gluten-free crepes and will customize whatever you'd like. There is an incredible lack of good, quick food in this part of town that POTC can now provide, but I would absolutely drive across town to Planet of the Crepes as well. I'll keep dreaming about Tucson developing a block long carnival of food pleasure like South Congress in Austin, but in the meantime, thank god I have Planet of the Crepes. Check their Facebook page for the most up-to-date hours and location: facebook.com/pages/Plane…
(5)Allison K.
This place is fantastic! Fresh, creative, satisfying, and delicious. I have tried almost every crepe and I have never been disappointed. And all this amazing-ness coming out of a tiny truck with no AC! Planet of the Crepes could teach a lot of Tucson restaurants a thing or two. Everyone should eat here!
(5)Jonathan K.
I was skeptical, I admit. The prices seemed high for a truck. I had to wait twenty minutes to get my crepe. It was worth it! They use really nice fresh ingredients creatively mixed. They're big enough you can split them if you have a moderate appetite, which makes the cost quite reasonable. They always have some good vegetarian options. In short: a tad more expensive but way better than the sit-down creperies about town
(4)Eric L.
Not much to add with what's already been said. The duck crepe is amazing with perfect balance. Nothing was overpowering. The texture of the crepe was right. It was weird to see kids on ponies right next door in a confined lot, but nevertheless, the food is what we come for and it is good.
(5)Sitha I.
Maybe I just had more expectations for this place because of all the hype. Its really sad cause I wasnt impressed at all. On a Sunday afternoon, I decided to run down the street during work to finally taste their crepes. Even got my coworkers in on it too. So we got the duck with mushrooms and spinach crepes; I wished they had cooked the spinach a little more like how the mushrooms were cooked. The duck itself was not dry, perfect smoked flavor. Even though there was creme fraiche spread over it, I felt like it was still missing a creamy taste or texture. I believe I tasted chedder cheese which didnt go well maybe a yogurt would have worked.... I also got one with pesto, spinach and goat cheese. I would actually like this one if I liked pesto and goat cheese. It mixed well I just hate goat cheese and never found a pesto I like either. Of course got a sweet crepe to tie the whole experience. It was delicious of course but you really cant mess up on a sweet.
(3)Susan O.
I bought a savory crepe - spinach, manchego cheese, mushrooms - from the lunch wagon on Jacome Plaza downtown yesterday. It was very good and healthy-seeming except for the excess greasiness. Is so much necessary to make a crepe? I don't know.
(3)laura j.
The "Vegan" is a delicious pesto-slathered crepe, filled with avocado, mushroom, tomato and spinnach. It looked so big, I thought I'd have to eat half and save the rest for later, but once I started nibbling, I ended up eathing the whole thing! $8 well spent
(5)David S.
On Thursday (3/29) before departing Tucson for Phoenix to catch a dreaded Southwest Airlines flight, the smoked duck breast crepe was totally the best send-off I could imagine. Erased were the recent memories of mass-produced, overpriced breakfasts and lunches. I know now that a quality culinary experience awaits me on my return!
(5)Elizabeth W.
Planet of the Crepes is always the most pleasant of surprises when I'm out and about in Tucson. Even if I've just eaten, I will always buy one of their many delicious savory crepes and split it with a friend.
(5)Andy O.
Wow, the food is wonderful. I had a fig and a banana, strawberry and french custard crepe. Way too much food, but I had come all the way from Chicago and was leaving the next day. All I can say is find this truck and partake of it's delights!
(5)Carrie M.
Owner is lovely and her crepes are amazing! She is constantly changing up the menu so you can have a variety! Unusual flavors and foods are combined in a wonderful crepe (even gluten free) prepared hot and fresh when you order. Wonderful! I have probably tried 20 varieties over the last 2 yrs but am still very addicted to strawberries, bananas, and custard. So yummy! This little crepe truck never disappoints!
(5)Erika B.
This food truck is so yummy. It is nice because it isn't your typical ingredients for the crepes, they really take it up several notches. I definitely go out of my way (even waking up early on the weekends) to greet this truck with my empty belly. Check out their Facebook for updates on their whereabouts and menu!
(5)
