We drove down before they closed at 3PM Sunday to find out not only they had no tamales but the only person working the store and most likely the person I spoke with five minutes early lied to my face claiming not sure who you spoke with but no tamales for sale. This is the quickest way to not only lose business but guarantee new clients will never give this establishment another chance. Thanks for wasting our time and gaslighting us !!!

For a night out at the Alameda County Fairgrounds, was pretty fun. $15 for parking (pre-pay at…read morefairgrounds website) and entrance to 626 is $12 a person. For reference, this is double what it was ($6) and it was posted from the fairgrounds even as this before. So 1 star deduction since I can deal with a couple dollars increase but double is a bit silly. The fairgrounds had 3 different events that night going on (Pirates of Emerson), 626, and some pumpkins event. Got in by 6ish without issue (also left easily). The main area has a decent sized stage, some seating, vendors in the middle selling items and surrounding it was food stands. then the food stands and other vendors spilled into another area where if you walked to the end, there was also seating for food. Most people didn't bother walking this far, so it was nice to find seats to bring in your haul of food to eat (if you didn't eat on the go). Won't go into food vendors, they were aplenty and anything from $5-$30. Easily spend up to $200+ on food for a family of three if you're not careful. lol. But typical of any food festival. I will note there were plenty of porto-potties as extra facilities... BUT... walk to the side where there is lights because hidden back there were REAL bathrooms! That was a heaven sent after drinking those all-you-can-drink stands.

A Fun Night of Food, Music, and Good Vibes at 626 Night Market!…read more First of all, the entrance ticket is around $12 per person, and honestly, the music, energy, and overall vibe make it worth it! You do need to pay an additional parking fee, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. There are SO MANY food booths to choose from! I love how organized the place is compared to other food fairs I've visited. One thing I really appreciate is that it's set up on an asphalt parking lot, so your shoes and feet don't get dusty or muddy. There are also plenty of tables and chairs on the sides where you can sit, relax, and enjoy your food. Be prepared for the prices, though! Most dishes cost at least $25, sometimes even more, so bring extra cash or budget accordingly. My BF enjoyed the fried sushi and the unlimited refillable drinks. We also loved the sticky rice! I personally enjoyed the fried squid, while my BF finished the gigantic beef skewer. The beef was a little chewy for my liking, but overall, there were so many interesting food options to try. The music was fun, the entertainment was amazing, and the whole atmosphere made the experience even better. The place also felt secure and was generally well-maintained and clean, which I really appreciated given the number of people attending. Pro tip: Bring tissues, hand sanitizer, and your own disposable fork and spoon just in case you need them! Overall, 626 Night Market is a great place to spend an evening with your partner, friends, or family. Come hungry, bring extra money, enjoy the music, and be ready to explore lots of different food choices. Definitely a fun experience worth trying!

I can't believe no one has written about this little food stand!…read more My fiance and I paid a visit to the vet this Saturday and were heading to Costco. We saw that a small Farmer's Market was going on in the Bishop Ranch complex #3 (adjacent to GE Software's lot). Since we needed vegetables that Costco probably wouldn't have (or have in the mega Duggar family pack), we decided to make a quick detour into this small farmer's market. Man, are we glad we did. I mean this FM is much, much smaller than the one we went to in Pleasanton. But at the end of the rows of vegetable and other stalls was this delicious aroma of grilled food. Since we hadn't eaten lunch and Costco food was NOT a healthy option, we decided to take a peek at Gorgeous Gorilla. While I don't want to make a definitive statement about the ethnic origin of the food, my guess is either Jamaican or (generically) Caribbean. They had Jerk chicken, Oxtail, shrimp, and grilled salmon. Also they serve their plate meals with red beans and rice. Oh snap, I love red beans and rice! And best of all: fried plantains. They also serve it with a small side of a fruit salad which is heavy on the mangos. Nice. We also ordered a positively awesome strawberry fruit drink which we know used fresh strawberries from a vendor down the row of veggie stands. We saw him deliver two boxes of strawberries while we ate lunch. We shared a jerk chicken plate and that was enough for us because we didn't want to fill up too much before shopping. The flavors were AMAZING on every part of the meal, esp the chicken. while I've had much spicier jerk chicken in the past, this one was one I'd consider a very mild jerk flavor. Maybe if I ask for what the locals would eat would they turn it up a notch. They let me know that they are there every Thursday in the same lot, so I'm going to make another trip next week as this Thursday I won't be in the area. But for now, here's some pics to whet your appetite!

Stumbled upon this poke truck at the San Ramon farmer's market a while back. It's good but nothing…read moregreat. You also have to pay more just to get rice with your fish (if ordering a "poke boat") which feels like a rip off in my opinion. Ahi tuna ($14 for 1/2 lb) itself is solid and good quality for what it is in this area. The sauce is described as a sesame soy sauce with spicy mayo. It's on the sweeter with some savoriness, light on the sesame, and not so much salty. I do like the flavors, but the poke isn't marinated long enough for them to seep through the whole fish chunks. Has a very slight kick from the chili flakes.

It came with two generously sized chicken thighs, which we loved because we much prefer dark meat over white meat for its richer flavor. The chicken was beautifully marinated, packed with flavor, and grilled to perfection. It honestly reminded us of the amazing barbecue chicken we had in Maui! One thing to be mindful of: they charge an additional $3 per dish if you pay by card. That seems like a pretty steep surcharge just to cover credit card processing fees. Unfortunately, we didn't bring cash today, but we'll definitely remember to bring some next time. Overall, fantastic Hawaiian barbecue with authentic island flavors and generous portions. We'd happily come back!

The chicken is never raw and has a great smoky taste to it. There's not really a sauce but it is marinaded and grilled well.

Little did I know - the moment we went home and ate them for lunch, it was beyond delicious!! The Hunan chix was tasty and the portion is so generous. It took us a few days to finish. The Cold Noodle was THE BEST! I believe their spicy sauce must be homemade. My family is saving every drop of it for whatever leftover they could find. It has been the 2nd week we dropped by the farmer market to buy their foods for lunch. Will keep doing it because why should I cook on a Sat afternoon, while I can get all these with less expensive price tag! This food stand is a hidden gem!

Joe and Kam are always really sweet and welcoming. CS has really taken off, and sometimes ordering can be difficult. It feels more like being part of an exclusive club and it requires a bit more planning. You are paying for craft, not convenience.
