It's either I was super hungry or the cook is back from hiatus... but the Carnitas were perfect! Crispy on the edges. Juicy on the inside. And a tingle of heat on the lips. Just the right amount of onions and cilantros for an added freshness. So so good! Took a bite, and my eyes rolled to the back of my head. Instant salivation! How I've missed these tacos. No wonder the lines been long lately... "THE. COOK. IS. BACK!" Well, that's the line we say when the tacos are extra good... Agua Frescas always satisfies the thirst. Grande is a must! Can't may food without a refreshing drink.

The drink came out promptly and was simple but well constructed. Service was good and with care.

The vibe is great, and the food definitely delivers on flavor. We tried quite a bit--the first Friday taco, chicken sandwiches, Mexican hot dog, and asada tacos--and everything was honestly amazing. It was so good that we came back the next day before leaving town just to have it again. Service was about an 8/10. The only reason I didn't rate it higher was due to one moment that didn't sit right with me. I watched a waitress bring out fries to a guest, the guest started eating them, and then she came back to say it was a mistake and took them away after he was already halfway through. That just didn't feel very service-oriented. In a situation like that, it would have been better to acknowledge the mistake and let the guest keep the fries on the house. Taking back half-eaten food felt like poor judgment. That said, the overall experience was still very positive. Great atmosphere, great flavors, and definitely a spot I'd recommend checking out if you're in the area.

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 (:

Ambiance - 5/5 Walking in I didn't have much expectation…read more But as I step foot into the place. I was fascinated but the wall art. The street art vibe with the cartoon style character. Super awesome. The kitchen is wide open. Everything was super clean and well put together. Service - 5/5 Great recommendations from the staff. The house slaw and banana pudding were clearly popular choices, and they definitely knew what they were doing when guiding the order. I told them it's my first time. These were what they recommended me. One of the staff actually gave a piece of brisket to try. Very nice of them to give a free sample before I order so I know what I'm expecting. Food - 4.5/5 Dish Ordered: Dino Rib, Brisket ( 1/2 lb), House Slaw, Banana Pudding 5/5 Dino Rib Wow. This was the highlight. The meat was unbelievably tender--every single part of it. Usually with ribs, especially the upper portions, you get some toughness or dryness depending on how it's smoked. Not here. This one was melt-in-your-mouth soft, juicy throughout, and you could practically pull it apart effortlessly. The seasoning was perfect--balanced, not too salty, not bland, just right. Every bite hit. 4/5 Brisket ( 1/2 lb) About two slices. Visually, it looked great--nice color, juicy, with a solid fatty portion. But after eating the Dino rib, it felt a bit underwhelming. Still good, just didn't hit as hard flavor-wise. Might be better appreciated on its own next time. 5/5 House Slaw This paired extremely well with the meat. Sweet, tangy, and refreshing. The hint of peanuts adds a nice nutty layer that makes it stand out. It cuts through the richness of the meat perfectly. 5/5 Banana Pudding Not your typical pudding--it's more like a banana cake. The sweetness not too overwhelming, smells amazing, and just hits the spot. A great way to finish the meal. Additional Comments The Dino rib alone makes this place worth it. It sets a very high bar, which honestly makes everything else feel secondary. The best Rib I have ever had in my life so far. Important thing to note is that the rib will be weighed. I don't think you can ask to get the portion you want like you can with the brisket. My Dino rib came out to be 1.6lb. The sides and dessert complement the meal really well and round out the experience. Price is bit is definitely in the higher end but the experience is definitely worth it.

My husband wanted to order food from here to take home for his birthday. We came on a Wednesday a little after 4:30 PM and there were less than 5 people in line. It went quick but we can see how there can be a line on weekends since there's only one person cutting meat in the back. The food is phenomenal though and worth the wait (again coming from someone who doesn't eat a lot of bbq or meat). The sides are my favorite. They are so good. We got every single one :). I loved the brisket and the mustard sauce. And we got the dessert drink which was tasty for someone who has a big sweet tooth. Overall, it's fantastic and next to a brewery. There's a small parking lot near by. Would definitely come again!!!

We ordered the burger loco moco with fried rice. It was fine, not amazing not bad. The Hawaiian roll French toast was good flavor, but mostly became mushy. The Mac salad was different. We had a mix up with the loco moco which they resolved. The service was nice enough. Although I noticed other tables items were forgotten and/or waited a lonnnnng time. The wait time was far too long in my opinion. Another party's items were served before ours, we ordered the same items and they came after us. We ordered the masala's sampler to go at the end of our meal, it took 30+ minutes. The masaladas (not pictured) were really good! All in all, definitely try once, but you must make a reservation. Expect to wait. Know what you want before going. You must order at the counter or be seated and order through the QR code. We couldn't find the QR code anywhere posted.

The museum offers half priced tickets that evening and its such a great deal! There is underground structured parking for $7, but also street parking as well. The museum offers 3 levels with influences on the history of California and specifically important times in Oakland. The bottom floor houses the nature and conservancy, which offers larger than life animal depictions. The second floor was my favorite since it showcases history through the years and it was like walking down memory lane. It'll be fascinating to see what they come up with in the years passed the 2000s and how we'll be remembered as a generation. The top floor is the art exhibit and installation, which provide a variety of artists and influences. On the bottom platform of the museum and the corridor leading to the outside is where the real fun begins! You're welcomed with live music and people from all walks of life jiving together on the dance floor. As the night went on more and more people were dancing and it was such a lively group! There's also a large line of food trucks from Off the Grid and there's such a variety of selections to choose from. I was really surprised and overwhelmed with all the great options, it was so difficult to just choose one! You really could quench your appetite with the endless possibilities! We had settled for a fusion of Korean, Mexican, and Indian! I was really excited because I'd never experienced that combination before and it was some of my favorite foods combined in one dish! There are also beers and wines available for purchase as well. I definitely had the best Friday there and I'll be back soon!

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.

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.
