The ultimate party highlight was the fresh churros that they fry as guests are about to eat dessert. The kids and even adults said they were just as good as a Disneyland churro and that says a lot. I will definitely be working with them again!

Thank you for making our son's bday party extra special! They asked us what time we plan to serve and they arrived early to make sure they cook the meats (yes! They cook the meats there, nothing was precooked) and served right on time. It was a sold out event!!!! Everyone loved all the meats - chicken, carne asada and al pastor. The churros was a hit! The quesadillas was an add on and was sold out. They felt bad and even asked if we had cheese coz they don't mind making more. They went over and beyond with their service which we truly appreciated. We definitely recommend this and most likely hire them again!!!! Thank you Banda's! You guys are the best!

I first seen them at the Newark Farmers Market and couldn't dare pass them up once I seen the "smothered" baked potato! What do I mean by smothered? Okay...let me explain... The baked potato is $6 and they top it with: Butter, Salt, Sour Cream, Jalapenos, Bacon, Cheese and Chives. Can I just admit that they are NOT stingy with their servings! Everything was SO good. Fresh and warm...The skin was nice and crispy! OMG, I'm drooling just thinking about it right now! When I first got my order I was in shock! I couldn't see the potato because they had smothered all the good toppings on it! What a steal deal for $6. If they had a store I would definitely be their #1 fan! I can't wait for the weekends to be able to make another trip and visit the food stand! I still want to try their Corn on the Cob! It looked DE-Lish!! This is a MUST when in the Newark Farmers Market! **P.S- I also hear that they are located at the San Leandro Farmers Marker** When you see their sign. Make sure you stop and try...then thank me later!

Located near the Jack's restaurant area this…read morefarmers market is every Sunday and has some great pastries, produce, plants, and kettle corn! We have had great service from free samples, kind staff, short wait times, and FRESH food. We come here often and always recommend this for its size and consistency of vendors. It's a great use of the parking lot space and offers plenty of parking nearby. I can totally see how they could also expand if they wanted to considering the mall parking lot is huge. Also great location being so close to Costco at the mall to get all your errands done in the same outing.

This was my first time ever at this particular farmers market and I was surprised when I pulled up…read moreto see so many tents!! I decided to track my steps and it was actually a quarter mile in an oval shape. One and they had an information booth as well as a live band, at the other oval end they had some volunteers making/designing your own reusable bag- such a cute way to give back to the community. Apparently this farmers market is going plastic free soon! All defenders seem to have their own price margins and one vendor was selling each bundle of herbs for a dollar. Sadly, she was all out of basil, but had a bunch of mint, lemon leaves, and tarragon or some other parsley type leaf that I've smelled before, but never have tried to cook with. Most thunders had prices by the pound, some vendors had pre-bagged vegetables for five dollars. I've been to the San Jose farmers market and they have basically the same vendors, but their bags are three dollars a bag instead of five. A handful of the vendors here did state they were California certified Organic or USDA Organic, but it didn't seem like they washed their fruit off after they picked it. Lol just interesting to me on the presentation since their root vegetables had mud on them. I'm sure they taste good but presentation means a lot to me. Hee Nevertheless, I bought a handful of different vegetables and this delicious onion bread from a local Italian gentleman who actually makes pesto without nuts so that he's not free bakery and he can cater to those people with nut allergies!! It's a local vendor, so please check them out! I wouldn't mind checking out this farmers market again, but I'll probably go just before closing since I know they give better discounts then 10 o'clock on a Sunday morning. Hee

This food truck serves up great cheesesteak and other sandwiches with some unique options…read more I ordered the Flying Pig. When it showed up, it was loaded with bacon, ham, pineapple, chicken, pork and more! It was a beast of a sandwich! To maintain my beauty (??) in the presence of the beast, I only ate about a third of it. The rest of it was just fine reheated later on. Grillaz Gone Wild has fun takes on the BBQ sandwich, and does them well. They sure do not skimp on ingredients! The food truck staff was fun, friendly and gave helpful hints about the items on offer. They serve the classic cheesesteaks, but I think that they stand out for their unique interpretations of the classic sandwiches. The Flying Pig. Does it intrigue you? Trust me, the pineapple pulls the flavour together. Now, search for Grillaz Gone Wild and catch that Flying Pig!

The pepper steak sandwich was stuffed with hot cherry peppers and the ribeye meat was pretty dry. There wasn't enough American cheese on it. The loaded fries were a good portion. The fries were lightly seasoned with all seasoning salt. They were crispy. However, it was smothered in too much cheddar cheese and scallions. There wasn't much bacon on it and the ribeye meat was in large pieces which didn't make it as enjoyable. A little pricey for what it's worth as we spent ~$26 on 2 items. :/

Perhaps it was the hunger and the smell of grilled meat in the air, or that the bright yellow oven was steaming and the sweetness of fresh roasted corn aroma was my calling, but it called and I came. The menu was simple: Baked Potato (5) Roasted Corn (2.5) Lemonade/Pink Lemonade (2) Water/Soda (1) +(.5) for any additional potato toppings. That corn is so special because it's just slow roasting in that giant, yellow oven so old school and classic, where you know that's why the food is some delicious. Their famous corn should be topped with: salt, butter, cheese, chile, lemon and mayonnaise. I'm not a huge mayonnaise so I skipped that, but the rest melted all into a buttery drizzle went perfectly with the corn. They don't have the butter out, so let them know you want butter with your corn. Plus, the corn is ON the cob! The potato is amazing. It's huge so huge it's about twice the size of a regular sized person's fist. It's baked and the skin is crispy. Meaty potato loaded on top with different cheeses, salt, butter, green onions, bacon bits, sour cream and jalapenos. It's the perfect hotness and they wrap it up beautifully for you. I'm not even sure if these words should be used to describe food, but I am and they can because I have no other words. Must come try the baked potato because you won't regret it. Absolutely delicious and makes me love farmer's market to discover food vendors that you can't have every day. The lemonade isn't bad and not overly sticky or sweet. The pink one is always better! If you ever swing by the San Leandro's FM, this is the one stop that you should duck into for a second to indulge yourself-never had a better baked potato. Plus, it well worth that five bucks you have. The carbs are worth it because an extra hour at the gym won't kill.
