It's a trailer park revolution!

Ahhh, Sunday... A leisurely day for many, but for MikeDub and I, it's just another day at the rat race. We were trying to get a quick taco on our respective journeys into work. I was craving Maria's Taco Express, but as we (and four other vehicles) were trying to maneuver out of the completely full alcove of a parking lot behind Maria's, I knew this wasn't going to happen.

Our journey continued to Oltorf St, as we thought we had just enough time to enjoy a taco and oaxacan coffee at Curra's Grill. That's when the déjà vu set in... Another journey in and out of a full parking lot. My stomach was angry and my head was about to follow suit. I'd resigned myself to a frozen Amy's dinner that I had in the fridge at work, and we headed north on South Congress.

South Congress St., or Soco as the locals call it, is a charming strip in South Austin. Full of knick-knack stores, art shops, and vintage Austin clubs, it is an eclectic part of town. As we continued on our northbound journey, observing the funkiness around us, we came upon... a line of trailers!

Right around Monroe St., a parking lot had been lined with a bunch of trailers, all serving various goodies. This is not a new concept for Austin; many Austinites are familiar with the South First St. "Trailer Park Eatery," which features none other than the legendary Torchy's Tacos (which will be reviewed in due course). Well, this spot had at least five trailers, making it the largest selection of restaurant trailers this town has seen yet! And it wasn't even crowded!

We turned the car around and went to have a taste. Parking was terrific... It's a PARKING LOT, folks! I was delighted to find a crepe stand; crepes are a treat I don't often have time to prepare. The 4+ hours that the batter needs to set requires a bit of planning ahead, and it's always morning time when I feel the crepe urge; never the night before.

I regret to inform you that I was unable to take photos of the crepes; they were so damn good we dug right in without a thought of sharing them with the blog-reading world. I had a florentine crepe. Packed full with chicken, mushroom, and spinach, this $7 treat was worth every single penny. MikeDub enjoyed the turkey gruyere crepe, which to our delight came topped with an over-medium egg! We traded halfway through, and I'm still not sure which was my favorite. We also stopped by the Armadillo coffee trailer. We had hot coffee, and it was delicious, though the woman boasted that her iced "sun coffee" that steeps over 24 hours is the cup of choice. Next time.

If you're looking to avoid the Sunday crowd, sit at a picnic table and have an awesome bite, the trailer park is the place to go. I recommend hitting the trailer park while enjoying a stroll up SoCo, if you have the time. C'mon, it's Sunday, after all...
