    Had the Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken over rice. Very well marinated grilled chicken. Most of the flavor is sweet with a slight hint of lemongrass. Rice has a lot of sauce from the meat. Also had a small side of salad with delish dressing.

    Looks decent, but is actually terrible.  Chicken is so crazy dry, sauce was so salty.

    Rare that I give 1 star to a place, but this was truly awful. If this was at a restaurant, I would have sent it back. I had the Korean bbq chicken, which came out to $23. Its noted as "Most Popular"...but it was probably the most overcooked chicken I have ever eaten. No joke, the chicken was so dry and chewy. Usually when people say "it was like jerky!" there is some hyperbole to it, but this literally resembled jerky. Several pieces I just could not chew. The grill marks tasted like burnt rubber. The sauce was awful too. It was sooo salty and overpowering, and it was drenched in it. The garlic noodles might have been decent, I don't know. All I could taste was the incredibly salty sauce on it. The best thing on the plate was the salad. The only positive was that it was quick, as there was zero line. Other trucks had lines of 5-20 people, this one had zero line (which is a reason I picked it). By the time I finished giving my money, my food was ready to go. Honestly, most food trucks are so overrated and overpriced. Years ago they may have been a convenient meal on the go, but now its become a trendy foodie thing. But $23 for salty rubber chicken...I think I might be done with food trucks (besides Golden Gate Gyro, their food is great).

    Teriyaki Chicken with Rice and Noodles

    I first discovered Bombzies BBQ at an Off The Grid market a few years ago before COVID-19 hit. Their food is amazing. A big proportion with rice and noodles. The service at Bombzies is amazing! They help you decide what to order. They'll help you decide which food is their best selling. Their truck is presentable. The menu is detail on what is in the food. Recently when I had Bombzies at a Taste of the World market I had the Teriyaki Chicken with half rice and half noodles. It was a good proportion of chicken with half rice and half noodles. I was able to share my food with my mom. She loved the taste of the chicken. If you see Bombzies in the Bay Area I suggest having them for lunch and dinner.

    Tried the BBQ rice bowl with garlic noodles and chicken -- super fresh and full of flavor. Highly recommend!

    I had the BBQ rice bowl with garlic noodles and grilled chicken. Super tasty, fresh, and filling! Great service and awesome flavors. Definitely recommend trying it!

    Food truck came to our work for an event last week. We each got to pick one entree. I chose the lemongrass chicken. Food came out really fast. Food was decent but not somewhere I'd crave. I hardly tasted lemongrass. It was either very light or maybe they gave me the wrong entree. It's a well balanced meal for on the go. The curry option looked more promising.

    Coconut curry chicken with noodles

    Showed up to off the grid and this place happed to be around. I got in line, ordered the coconut curry chicken, you have the option to order it with rice or with noodles. Staff is cool and efficient, most of the food is pre cooked in a warming chamber, so the dish was given almost immediately. They also offer rangoons and wings as sides. I would recommend yes or yes.

    Had this food for the 1st time today, they came by my work (Sutter Health). The food is AMAZING! My picky 9 year old son who doesn't like to try anything new tried the bbq chicken & garlic noodles & enjoyed it so much he was angry I don't bring more hm!!!

    Chicken teriyaki over garlic noodles

    Seriously delicious. We had Bombzies at our outdoor concert and the food was super fresh, fast and such kind service. I got the teriyaki chicken & garlic noodles with kimchi - so good!

    The truck

    I've been a Bombzies patron for a few years now and I am generally delighted to see their truck arrive in our business park. I typically go for the Korean BBQ Rice Bowl but the real money-maker is the potsticker side plate. These are some of my FAVORITE potstickers anywhere (the secret is in their crunch). The service here is great; they'll have your food out to you before you're done paying (with the exception of my beloved potstickers because those bad boys have to fry). Give them a try!

    Korean bbq bowl is a must. The chicken is so tender and flavorful, the kimchi gives the bowl an amazing touch.
    Gloria M.

    I normally go to the picnic at the presidio on Sundays to get my Bombzies fix I love the Korean chicken bowl with extra kimchi The chicken is delicious, cooked just right. I wish they had a restaurant, I know I would be there all the time

    Best tacos ever!!!…read more I have had a lot of tacos in my life, this is the best. I can't stop dreaming about this place since I had it and I can't wait to go back. Card accepted at this location. Small parking lot. Outdoor patio seating. Quick service.

    I'm born and raised in this neighborhood on 22nd ways going here. In the early 2000s - 2015 was…read morewhen they were at their prime for me. But since then and nowadays they have tougher competition that I prefer to go to over them and recently started to develop a hate and love relationship here. It used to be my die hard go to taco truck. This truck for me makes delicious carnitas burritos and pollo tacos. And a sleeper is the al pastor burrito and suadero tacos. That al pastor isn't made from the trompo but the seasoning and juiciness of their version in the burrito is what makes it one of the best burrito options on there if you haven't tried it. Carnitas burritos is super delicious because you get that nice crispiness of the fried tender pork with the rice, cheese and sour cream. I like to ask for onions, cilantro and tomato in mines for variety and freshness to cut the heaviness of the fats and dairy. Tacos I normally would get or recommend is the Carnitas, Pollo, Cabeza, Suadero, and Asada. Carnitas are as delicious as explained with the burrito. Pollo or known as chicken tacos are super tender and juicy. It's also very flavorful, and one of my favorite chicken tacos to get here because most places don't make chicken very well and are usually very dry. The cabeza is super tender and a great option. Suadero just like the asada is just a better version of the asada cut. It's packed with more flavor and seasoning than the asada and slightly more tender which is why I prefer it to the regular steak. I tend to find the asada more dry and sometimes tough. Recently the pricing doesn't reflect on the fairness of the portion size. $4 tacos but the meats aren't as packed. Felt like they started to skimp because of rising costs but has been happening before then. $15 burrito but the sizing isn't as filling as it used to be. I started to see more rice than meat. They've also started to be very stingy with a huge attitude especially the gentleman that works on the pick up station when asking for extra pickled veggies, limes and salsa. And it happens every time for the past several years now. For example he gave me 2 limes, 4 pieces of sliced pickled carrots, 2 slices of pickled jalapenos, 3 radishes, and 1 rojo salsa for an order of a super burrito and 7 tacos. When I asked for extras the gentleman gave me an attitude and said he already did and won't give more. Only reason I still go here is because it's close to home and if my favorite spots for tacos are closed for the night.

    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.

    Tacos Mi Rancho used to be my family's go to burrito spot, but after tonight we won't EVER be back…read more My kids went to grab dinner, ordered two steak burritos and an order of steak fries. They got the steak fries right, but instead of steak burritos we received two chicken burritos. We called to let them know the order was incorrect and the guy who answered insisted that we ordered chicken. We most definitely didn't. He said he would replace them and he asked that we bring the chicken burritos back. This was already an inconvenience because we live 15 minutes away, so gas was wasted getting all the way over there and back. When they were picked up, instead of owning up to his mistake, the guy still insisted that we ordered chicken. Again, we did not. While we finally had what we ordered, the steak burritos were smaller and barely had any meat in them, while the incorrect order were chock full of chicken. So, needless to say, we will not be back.

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 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.

So Let me know if you guys need help in this area, I specialize in catering and time management. (The most important) The customer service was amazing. The young lady Laila who is the cashier was very sweet and respectful and still kept it professional when I was "in my feelings" about the wait time. So I appreciate you Laila for understanding my feelings and not taking it personal after I was told food would take 45 minutes. Unfortunately, We received our order at 2:05pm. Never in my life have I ever waited this long for food unless I was cooking it. This is why I can't rate it a 5. They did apologize for the long wait time which i appreciate for acknowledging that it did take hella long. The ambiance of the area was nice. It is a food truck and they have a nice area to sit and eat. It is four picnic tables but you have to claim them before others do. If you are with a group, and want to sit and eat, I suggest one person claim a table and the other person(s) orders the food. (What I came here for) The food was amazing which I mentioned to the owner. When I say it is hella good I'm not capping. We ordered Beef sticks with rice but The beef sticks are $3 a piece &The rice is an extra $3, 5 egg rolls but i forgot the prices of each one, and Garlic Shrimp and with garlic noodles. I also had to mention that I was not happy about the 1 hour and 20 minute wait which she apologized again. So Overall my experience was amazing minus the wait time. The food is a but my overall rating is a 4 due to the massive waiting time.
