Went in with zero expectations and left planning my next visit…read more Stopped by Tacos Mi Rancho near Lake Merritt and honestly didn't know what to expect. From the outside, it looks like a straightforward taco truck, but wow was I surprised. I ordered the Carnitas Super Taco, which came loaded with lettuce, cheese, cilantro, onions, sour cream, and guacamole. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, and packed with flavor. My only complaint? You only get one taco per order because I definitely could've eaten another. The Kid ordered the Carne Asada Super Taco and before we even pulled away, she was asking for a second one. That's usually a pretty good sign. We also tried the horchata and jamaica, and both were delicious. The horchata was creamy and flavorful, while the jamaica was refreshing and not overly sweet. What surprised me most was how quickly they got the food out, especially considering how popular this spot seems to be. A few things to know: * Cash or Venmo only * Parking can be a challenge, but it's worth it * Keep an eye out for the new speed cameras in the area Their hours are another plus: Open daily, 9:30am- midnight Overall, this was one of those pleasant surprises that reminds you not to judge a place by appearances. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

Iconic taco truck near Lake Merritt. Perfect for late nights but perhaps better in memory than…read morereality. The food here is more like 3.5 stars -- but there are other great options around. The flavors are rich and laid on thick. We ordered a veggie burrito, a bean and cheese burrito with rice added, and three tacos (carne, pollo asado, and Cameron's). The carne melted in my mouth, since it was rich with rendered fat, and the tortillas were crisped around the outside to melt and seal the layer of cheese inside. Probably our best overall dish was the bean-cheese-rice burrito -- covered in their salsas and peppers -- since it balanced all the ingredients and textures. On the other hand, the veggie burrito brought the flavor, but between the crema, pico, guacamole, and cheese it ended up soggy halfway through and the tortilla threatened to come loose. The shrimp and chicken were forgettable, and the tortillas come crispy off the griddle but they are damp by the time you walk anywhere to sit. What captures the truck in a nutshell are the chips they serve, covered in a seasoning that replicates Doritos flavor. Sometimes that is exactly what you need. But you can get it elsewhere easily too.

Well you live and you learn stopped at this food truck at Emeryville Bay Street on a Saturday I was…read morereally hungry so I saw there was a long line and decided to try it .it is very unclear from the menu and the description that when you're ordering an original burger you're going to get two mini burgers instead of a regular size burger they are overpriced and not the best quality the cheese was not even melted see pictures below they're lucky I was hungry that's why I finished it but I will not be coming back again 17$ For a mediocre burger when I could go to in and out,five guys and you you can get better for cheaper it seemed microwavable I find it really funny that on the outside of their food truck they have this giant burger when all they sell is mini burgers

I was craving Pupusas and Platanos for months and just haven't gotten a chance to get some. After…read morerunning on Sunday, I decided to try Pupuseria Rosita. 2 Pupusas for $7, 2 Platanos for $8 and $15 was well spent. I was not disappointed as their Pupusas were actually well filled, unlike other places that I've tried. I waited about 20 minutes after placing my order. There are tables and seating on the back/side of the truck if you wanted to eat there but parking isn't the easiest in the area. I would definitely be returning for my future cravings!

Our food (4 tacos, 4 pupusas, and a horchata) were ready in 20 minutes. Their pupusas revueltas are amazing. Carnitas on the tacos was juicy but lacking flavor. Business is a food truck on a street corner, but its location is not somewhere you want to be at night. Street parking is available as well as parking across the street in an open lot. Not really a place you would eat at for the ambiance, but the pupusas are great! Also, they have great combo deals on Tuesday specifically!! Would come back for more pupusas (:

Got the food faster than expected. It's right next to a brewery, but there's a shared space with a few tables outside and only a few counter seats inside. We ended up taking it to-go to enjoy at a nearby park. Brisket was great, juicy and tender. Dino rib just fell right off the bone. Burger was tasty but not standout for me, would probably just order more meat next time. All the food we got was perfect for sharing! Street parking with nearby lots. Came on a Saturday and it wasn't bad, but we might have gotten lucky.

Weather was nice so we grabbed a table outside and ordered from a QR code on the table. Sadly, learned they were out of an ingredient for the Hawaiian roll French toast so I got the normal one instead. The waitress was really nice and managed to balance bringing out four water glasses for us. I haven't had French toast in a while but it fulfilled all my childhood memories. The Kalua Pork Hash was soooo tasty too, loved the gravy. Would recommend!

Friday Nights at OMCA has become a lot smaller from what it used to be before the pandemic, but…read moremore people are now stopping by and there is a good variety of food trucks as well. Be prepared for long lines depending on the food trucks - one pro tip if you're in a group is to have each person wait in different lines to order and share family-style. It's lively with music, kids playing in the garden, and people dancing at the entrance. You can also catch the sunset from here which is a beautiful sight. As it's no longer crowded compared to pre-pandemic, you can easily walk around and enjoy the outside space while eating delicious food. I hope more people visit Friday Nights so that they can continue to bring in more food trucks and expand the event.

I've been here and I have to say that I am comparing this to pre-COVID times when this was a date…read morenight and date spot for my husband and I. But now, it's a lame version of its former self. I haven't found the right mix of food for me. And what I eat is a bit underwhelming. Now, my husband wants to go and it's "safeish" because people aren't crowded together like we used to be, there are no live bands, no dancing, and they have many fewer trucks. My first time here after they started having this again, they only had 3-4 trucks. They also have the same trucks week after week. Some of my favorites aren't available and the ones that show up haven't always been ones I'd choose to go to. But it's ok. So they've gone from a five-star breath of fresh air each Friday, to a three-star, take it or leave it. I'm hoping that they are able to revamp things and earn those two stars back!

There's a great variety of food trucks lined up in front of the Oakland museum. I'm always partial to the Southern Comfort restaurant. I've had their po'boys, shrimp, and heavenly seasoned fries. But I also love when Señor Sisig and anything that sells ice cream make an appearance. Customer service is always awesome and as fast as they can with the amount of people that show up. Highly recommend going to this weekly event at least once!

I got over my fear when Shakeel, the Market Ambassador at that time convince me to come. Even the other Market Ambassador Elon kept me company making sure I was OK at the market. I will admit every Friday Night I am at Off the Grid outside the Oakland Museum of California. I will admit I overdid it by checking out the exhibits at the museum weekly where I made a friend Preston, the Emcee at the Oakland Museum of California. Over 10 different food trucks to chose from. The highest food trucks they had at the market was up to 20 during the summer time. It is worth coming down to Oakland Museum to see all the different food trucks they have. I will admit I miss the past Market supervisor that ran the market (Adam, Alex, Paul, Henley, whomever ran the market that I can not remember their names). Ben, the current supervisor got this market running smoothly. I been enjoying the market. What makes this market to go to on Friday Night compared to going to Fort Mason is discount on museum tickets. You have a museum to go to while getting food from the food trucks. They also have a garden where children can run around in. The live music at the Oakland Museum of California is amazing. It is worth checking it out. This is the market to check out Friday Night.
