There's nothing like practicing your french on a guy who's pretending to not understand English to make you work even harder for your crepe. My francais wasn't working so well tonight (granted, it was late) but I still got my banana/nutella/ whipped cream crepe. And there was absolutely no tastiness lost in translation.
Love the location so close to Slim's, Butter and several other music venues/bars. Prices are reasonable, service is fast and slightly flirty, outdoor seating ambiance is 'interesting' to say the least...

Crepes A Go Go. Hands down the best crepe spot in the City. Sweet or savory crepes served from a truck is as authentic to Parisan crepes as it gets. I've never had a bad crepe from this truck and the customer service is usually very friendly, dispite it being the middle of the night with a crowd of happy clubbers right in front.
I usually order a savory crepe and a sweet crepe (hey, u gotta get a sweet one for dessert to to satisfy that sweet tooth). This past Saturday we made a special detour to Crepes A Go Go before heading back to the East Bay. I saw an item on the menu I never noticed before so I had to try it. This crepe consisted of sauteed spinach, carmelized onions, sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese. The owner told me it would take a little while longer to make but I was okay with waiting. When I finally got my crepe, it was the best tasting savory crepe I have ever tasted. Definantly worth the wait!
My other favorites are the house special, turkey mushroom and cheese, or their nutella and banana with whipped creme. I honestly think you can't go wrong with any crepe and it certainly hits the spot after a night of drinking and dancing.

When your heart's in someone else's hands
monkey see and monkey do
their wish is your command
you're not to blame
everyone's the same
all you do is love and love is all you do
I should know by now the way I fought for you
you're not to blame
everyone's the same
I know you think that you're safe
mister
harmless deception
that keeps love at bay
it's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss

Whenever I think of crepes now I am reminded of one of my favorite scenes from "Talladega Nights" where Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen) confronts Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) and his buddies for the first time in a pool hall and pins Ricky Bobby down on a pool table threatening to break his arm unless he submits by renouncing his nationalist pride.
Jean Girard: I will let you go, Ricky, but first I want you to say,..."I love crepes."
Cal: Don't you say it, Ricky! These colors don't run!
Ricky Bobby: Oh, I'm not gone say it.
(Jean Girard again threatens to break Ricky's arm)
Jean Girard: Just say, "I love crepes."
Cal: You know, just to put this in there, I had a whole mess a' crepes this mornin' and they're just like pancakes, maybe even better.
Ricky Bobby: Are they the really thin pancakes?
Jean Girard: Yes, they are. They are the really thin pancakes, it's just the French word for them.
Ricky Bobby: Oh, my God! I love those!
...
Jean Girard: What if you say, "I love really thin pancakes?" That is a fair compromise, no?
Hilarious scene! I definitely don't need to be threatened with having my arm broken to say, "I love crepes." One of the reasons is because of the great crepes at Crepes-A-Go-Go. I have not been disappointed by any savory or sweet crepes that I have tried even when they've messed up my order. This little creperie on wheels is also my number one spot to grab a bite to eat after a night hanging out in the SOMA.

I must hand it to food that comes on wheels - I wasn't expecting much from the cheese crepe I got, but damn that was good! If you're not into spicy food, you might want to ask them if they put anything in there, but there was definitely some heat going on. I'm rather cheap which is why I didn't go for the ones with more fillings, but I was very happy with mine. Yeah, sure, I was plastered, but something tells me this would be pretty good even while sober.

Their crepes are disappointing in their excess and execution, yet its a halfway decent option when you're in this part of town late night. You can't really expect too much from a crepe TRUCK, especially when they're already made. It's a good option in that you have plenty of types of fillings to stuff your face with and those comfy, disheveled couches to sit and digest. Disappointing in that their mediocre level, already prepared crepes come overloaded with a sickening amount of bottom-drawer cheese that'll definitely test your intestinal fortitude. The nutella crepe is good for what it is and probably the best thing on the sprawling menu. Was cool to hear some Senegalese and French hip hop blaring from the speakers while lounging about.
I was in yet another finicky mood when we hobbled out of Slims and made our way to Butter. I needed to eat but couldn't settle for Spaghettios or anything... I wasn't sure WHAT I wanted until I heard my brain yell, "CREPES!" So I found myself standing at the little truck, wondering what in the world I would be hungry for.
Then, it came to me, as if I was fulfilling some sort of destiny (or following a cue-card). "Umm.. I think I'll have turkey, and cheese, and pineapple... oh and spinach too."
Ahhh.... sweet and savory satisfaction.
After hours on this side of town, the crepe man is the safest one you'll meet. No smooth talking--just a nod to your request for extra cheese. In fact, he barely makes eye contact with you (cuz he's busy making your crepe with perfection!), and he's definitely not out to get your number (just the $4 for a crepe). He won't molest or harass you. He just wants to feed you. How sweet is that?
The house special (egg, turkey, cheese) is always reliable. Always. For a sweeter option, try the nutella & honey crepe. I like to add lots of fruit to mine.
A huge step up from your usual late-night grub, this is where the after-party happens. No guest lists necessary. Come before 2AM to avoid the crowds.

Want em Savory or Sweet this place is respek.
How do you make a $4 crepe an $8 dollar crepe? Let me tell you...you tell the guy in the stand to put everything into a crepe. When the crispy goodness is placed into your hands you have a crepe as big as your head. Filled with Turkey, Chicken, Eggs, Cheese and a bunch of stuff I can't remember at this point. I can tell you this...the entire time I was eating this thing i didn't talk to my friend and I had to use both hands.
If it's a sweet crepe you want it doesn't get better than this place. The simple sugar & butter crepe is great but if you are a first timer ask for the nutella, strawberry and banana crepe. You'll love it more than the potential hook up you could have had that night.

I couldn't believe it when I found this place.. a CREPE TRUCK?! And they only opens from 7pm to 2am or 4am (on Fri & Sat). They have the best crepes you can find.. really!
The dessert crepe with nutella and strawberry was crisp and fully stuffed that made it a rather huge portion.
The savoy crepe with chicken, bell pepper and cheese was REALLY huge and yummy. I was already full after eating 1/4 through. But I want to keep eating because it's so good.. so I took a deep breath and munch my down down more.. OM NOM NOM NOM... but no i AM full. I wanted it save it for later but didnt' think it'll be good anymore when it's not fresh. So I have to throw it away, with a bit of tear in my eyes.. I hate myself when I waste good food like that.
Crepe truck! YES! I've been to several crepe places, and this has to be one of the best ones out there. If you're hungry for something salty, order the House Special. And if you've got a sweet tooth, my favorite it the nutella and bananas. And it's a great place to go after the clubs because alcohol definitely makes everything taste better.

Makes the perfect "after bar" crepe.
When I'm happily tipsy, the 5 1/2" heels are killing the feet, my carefully applied make-up is ruined and the girls are just glad they manage to ward off the sleazeballs in the club (who haven't checked the mirror to see how repulsive-looking they are in the last 10 years of their lives), the idea of freshly made crepes would certainly be something that I would entertain.
And I've also since found out that the sense of judgment and objectivity required foir yelping is inversely proportional to the level of alcohol in one's system.
Which makes me wonder if this is why the place averages 4.5 stars over 109 reviews.
I cannot honestly say if the crepes would taste as good when it's 11AM, I'm completely sober, and Crepes A Go Go is competing against ten alternative brunch ideas.
Nonetheless, for the reasons that they are (1) always available when I most need them, (2) cheap, (3) wonderfully tasty, I would give my clouded judgment the benefit of the doubt and conclude on a 5 star for these guys.
In addition, the fact that we buy those things straight out of a trailer is a nice change from the pretentious and uppity club atmosphere that I and posse subject ourselves to in the last few hours prior to our visit to Crepes A Go Go.
And oh... I shall not forget to mention the entertainment value of watching drunk people trying to (a) practice their French while ordering the crepes, or (b) talking to strangers who are also waiting in line about the most random subjects , or (c) both.

Best place to get crepes. First time i heard of this place from my buddy alex i said to him you have to be kidding. But o boy he wasnt playing around. Right after the clubs in the city we came straight here and the line was super long but we were super drunk and super hungry. I waited for about 45mins to get my crepe and it was well worth it. The asian dude and the european cats making it was doing their best trying to get as many crepes out as possible without making a bad crepe. And they did it. Mines came out super good, i had the house special and that came with a egg in it and damn that was tasty.
This place is a money maker, with that little kart between the clubs. Who ever thought about this place gets two thumbs up from me.
Food: Excellent
Service: Excellent
Parking: None

Crepes a go go! So many nights here after clubbing! I used to go clubbing from San Jose just so I could get a crepe from here afterward. The mushroom crepe is awesome. Flavorful and juicy!
One night we were at Slide and decided to drive across town to get a crepe. I was so excited. I wait in line with Linda and the crepe guy yells, "Only 8 more crepes left!"
8 more crepes?! I start to freak out. I drove all the way across town for this! I counted off all the people and Linda and I made it in the 8. Whew!
While patiently waiting this drunk girl cuts in line and starts to place her order. My left hand instantly curled up in a fist like Bruce Lee when he's about to give an ass kicking. I looked to the left and saw the rest of her friends. They were rolling 5 deep and they were some big, ghetto looking people. Me being 5'2" I decided to calm down and forget about it. Not worth losing teeth over a crepe.
Linda and I get up to the front and the guy tells us there is only one crepe left. I let Linda pick the crepe that she wants. At least we will get one crepe. Then another guy in the back of the truck says that they also happen to have a house special crepe.
"I'LL TAKE IT!!!"
The house special has 2 eggs, 2 pieces of turkey, and 2 pieces of cheese. Well worth the drive! I happily ate my crepe while all the drunk people complained about the shortage.

I love this place or should I say truck. Yes there's always so many people but it's well worth the wait. After all, what do you expect, it's right next to a bunch of nightclubs and bars. Anyway, my favorite is the spinach, mushroom and cheese crepe although I do like the house special as well. They have such a variety I just don't know what to order. My goal is try a new one every time I go.
Just as most people have said, the crepes are definitely cheap. They're pretty thick too. MMmmMMmm... I want one right now!
I've never been to the actual restaurant. I wonder if the prices are still the same?
The Crepes A-Go-Go robs European burritos of their foreign mystique by serving them from a dirty trailer, the way God intended. You're not going to find any lightly powdered Suzettes here, but you can score just about any other variation on the theme. Sweet, savory, sickening? Crepes A-Go-Go has it all. Equipped with multiple brands of hot sauce, "fresh" vegetables, meat, assorted cheeses, and jumbo jars of Nutella, this French chuck wagon and its chefs will have you digesting before your head hits the pillow ... or sidewalk.

Best late night spot EVER!! I never show up earlier than 2am. You stand out in the cold and order from a trailer window, but its worth it. I always order cheese, spinach, turkey, avocado and green onion crepe...always...soooo good. so good.
BEST EVER.
Great place to hit up after the bars whether drunk or sober (beware, the employees might try and mess with you a little...be a good sport). I am from Seattle and I miss this place so much. Why doesn't Seattle have a crepe cart open till godawful hours of the morning!? Don't be fooled by thinking they serve just nutella and banana or strawberries and whip cream on crepes here....you can get turkey, pineapple, odd cheeses....all sorts of stuff on your crepe. There are couches to sit on (avoid them if you're a neat freak...they don't look like they're cleaned regularly. Or at all) and tarps/tents to sit under so you don't get wet.
I can't wait to get down to SF so I can go there again. Yummmmm.

Since when is a crepe truck part of a bachelorette party itinerary??!! It is now!
We went to Crepes a Go Go one night at about 2 am after hitting up the bars and clubs in the area. Perfect for filling up our grumbling tummies, soaking up all that alcohol and for taking some time to sober up! Who knew that something so yummy could come out of a truck at 2 am??!!
And the fun didn't end there. We met some random people while we all waited for our orders and even took pictures with lots of them. Funny what crepes (and alcohol) could do to a person...
This place is awesome.
I drool every time I think about sinking my teeth into one of their tasty creations.
Chris ALWAYS gets savory confused with sweet. The word savory is just too misleading for him so I end up sharing my dessert. That's what love is about - not smacking him for making me sacrifice but putting my stomach aside and suffering for his "mis-mastery" of the English language.

Instead of having cake at our wedding, someone suggested we have crepes instead. What a fabulous idea! these guys came in and made dessert crepes for us by the pool at the Phoenix, and they were a huge hit.
You know when people get out of the naked pool to eat that you have a success.

I've been a huge fan of Crepes a go go without even knowing they were called that until this weekend, which is when I also realized thanks to my friend that I haven't reviewed it. What is wrong with me?
I FUCKING LOVE THIS PLACE.
I love the guys who work there.
I love the crepes they make.
I love the fact that they only open late night when you're drunk and salivating for something yummy.
I love that it's a trailer.
I love that they have couches, as a dirty as they are, right next to 'em to lounge in and to devour that savory goodness.
I love that everyone there is drunk too so it makes for some fun and serendipitous encounters.
And last but not least I love the fact they changed their menu recently and added the SAUTEED CHICKEN W/RED PEPPERS, GARLIC, AND CHEESE crepe to their menu and that it is the fucking best crepe ever in the whole damn world.

Crepes from the masters of crepe making. I'm sure they're banking from not having to manage a store. I seriously don't know the hours of this place. I remember trying to grab crepes after watching the New Years firsworks at the ferry building, but to my dismay, they were closed. The crepes though, are wonderful! First one I ever had here was the spinich & cheese. Gawd it was soo filling and tasty! Maybe standing on the sidewalk in pajamas in the middle of the night surrounded by intoxicated crepe lovers helps to intensify the flavors of the crepe! or...maybe the crepes are just plain ol' tasty! Whatever the case is, you must at least try the crepes here once. Only thing I don't think they have is Ice cream for the crepes...someone correct me if I'm wrong! =)
It was midnite after hitting up the bacon dog cart so I vowed to try the crepes at this place. We shared the turkey and pineapple crepe. The crepes were crispy on the ends and really fresh. The turkey were a tad too salty but it was tasty with the pineapple. Overall a great crepe at midnite! :)

so i "stumbled" across this place while waLKING through the area with one of my girlfriends. okay, so i know the guy who happened to be working there. nevertheless, i have never in my life tried a crepe. he made me a nutella banana. and let me say, i HATE chocolate. but i was in heaven for about 3 mins. (thats how long it took for me to finish) :) thats all i can say. GO CREPES A GO GO!
it was about three years ago when i stumbled out of a bar on or near 11th and folsom and found myself at crepes a go go. i couldn't tell you exactly where i came from, because well, i was hammered. :D i had what are called the "drunken munchies" and needed yummy eats fast! i gazed upon the menu and decided upon the house special. WOWIE WOWIE i was blown away!! it was like heaven in my mouth!
since then, i have gone to crepes a go go more times than i could even count. my little sister had heard me talk of these crepes so many times that i even had to bring her one night to get one! keep in mind that my sister was 15 at the time and is clearly too young to enjoy the bars, followed by "drunken munchies"!
so for about $6, you can enjoy the most tasty late night delight! i've dabbled in the sweet ones; but i always come back to the house special with avocado! then i sit my happy ass on one of the couches under the canopy and enjoy my de-lish purchase!
to that i say to all of you.... a toot a l'heure!
2am and I got...
Wonderful CREPES, Wonderfully funny dudes, got to practice my french...
....mmmm nutella and banana!!! I'm willing to argue that this is better than some of the crepes I got in Paris!

used to come here alot after a late night at the public resto lounge (too bad they closed recently). usually my options are either a $4 crepe with turkey, avo, spinach and cheese, or a bacon wrapped hot dog from the amigo in the cart next to loft 11 (party bus central). passing up a bacon wrapped hotdog aint no joke.
Oh. yeah.
Stopped by this spot with a friend who had to review it for TODO. Wasn't aware at the time that I'd decide to write a yelp review - but memories of the deliciousness are still very much with me.
I'm sure we are like the only people of all time to hit this joint 100% sober, and it was amazing - I only hope I can get drunk and come back - I know then it will really rock me. It's a nighttime thing - I think it opens at 7pm - and they've got a funny setup of dirty mismatched couches under a makeshift tent for you to sit your drunk self on whilst munching your crepe full of goodness.
Onto the goodness. The key here, I learned, is to mix the sweet and savory. Sure, you can get a crepe with scrambled eggs and cheese, which I'm sure is delicious. You can even get a crepe with roasted red peppers, eggplant, onions, and feta cheese. Or you can go dessert style and get a bananas and honey crepe, a ricotta and jam crepe, etc. But where you really strike gold is the salty + the sugary. I'm talking apples and cheddar cheese, or turkey and cranberry sauce - seriously people, these are the best things ever. I know you're doubting the turkey and cranberry - don't doubt. eat it.

This place rocks! As you stagger out of the bars and clubs around 11th Street, the crepe truck is like a beacon that calls to your growling stomach. Of course, after a bender your standards may have lowered a little, but I found on a recent visit when I was perfectly sober that indeed the crepes ARE really that good. Try a crepe with chicken -- the meat is tender and delicious and they pile it on. Five stars for serving something so tasty out of a food truck.

This little beat up trailer is 'da bomb. Their crepes are delicious and their service is fantastic. You wouldn't think much of it to walk by it. It's a little trailer with a menu on it that is half broken with pieces falling off. To the right of it are a series of couches with a blue tarp covering them for your dining pleasure. Overhead is low, prices are cheap, and the crepes are good. I personally recommend the smoked turkey and cheese savory crepe. 5 stars!

I must have an affinity for trailers tonight having gone to Butter earlier.
My sweet tooth was getting ancy and about to go Exorcist on me spewing green stuff if I didn't satisfy it.
A small beat up/rundown trailer with the words 'Crepes-A-Go-Go' splashed on it called me over like a pimp recruiting 'ladies of the night', do I dare? Will I regret this in the morning? I meant having a dessert crepe after my fatty food tirade at Butter earlier not becoming a 'lady of the night' just so we have that clear.
There was a line but I didn't mind braving the elements (it was only a chilly wind) to get my hands on a nice warm nutella crepe with whipped cream. Had to wait for an entire Filipino family to communicate with the nice Hispanic man working the counter, it was an ordeal but I was patient. I finally bellied up to the counter and placed my order. I don't know where one would understand Nutella w/Whipped Cream ($4) as Nutella w/Strawberries ($4.25). I took it anyway and savored in it's massive flavor.
The guy was so nice that I left him a $5 tip in his tip jar. I had never seen a grown man light up so much after my kind gesture, made me feel good. I will be back to get that Nutella w/Whipped Cream once and for all!!!

this place is actually a little truck making delish crepes! the best thing is, they are made fresh and handed right to you. no time for the crepe to get soggy - it's crispy and warm!!! mmm!
