    This is what the grease did to my shorts.

    By far the worst burrito I've ever had. Not to mention it's way over priced. I ordered pastor

    Ordered a carnitas super burrito and it was, by far, the most flavorful and affordable burrito I have had in Oakland. Sweet people and lots of options to choose from, I'll definitely be coming back!

    I have no clue why this place has four stars. The first red flag should have been a taco truck that sells Mexican food AND pupusas. I ordered a super burrito and didn't get the "super part" which is sour cream and cheese. And even if I did how does the price double for those two sides??? My coworker also had a burrito and literally scooped out all the rice because of some over powering spice they added... whoever said "Authentic" must be a relative. I've never had rice like that at any actual authentic places. It's really hard to mess up pupusas... but I've noticed it's never good unless you go to an authentic Salvadorian restaurant. Next were the barbacoa tacos ... meat was good but the consome they gave.... 30% oil easy. Coworker Couldn't even finish it. I would normally chop it up to a bad day but when you can't get the whole crews lunch right... You need to be given a wake up call. Two crew ordered pupusas but everyone tried, literally everyone said worst pupusas they've ever had. Sorry guys, Ive worked in the food industry my whole life and I hate writing reviews like this but it really takes a special kind of fuck up to mess up this bad. If the owners don't supervise this daily, they need to start. And if they do... look into revamping your recipes.

    I found a bug in my drink and almost didn't notice because of all the cinnamon pieces in the drink. I found a hair a few days ago my first time coming so i gave it the benefit of the doubt that the hair could've been mine. I DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL at least for your health's sake.

    This place is a hidden hole in the wall . They offer really delicious tacos and other eats at a competitive price . They also do vegetarian and seafood meals if you prefer. Friendly staff is always a plus. There's no seating here and can get very sunny depending on the season and time. Your food, depending on whatcha ordered gets to you at a reasonable time . Parking isn't difficult to find usually but can still be a challenge .

    Some of the best tacos I've had by far. The workers are friendly. And the location is walking distance from my job.

    Great food with good flavor. I fed a family of four for $42, which is nearly impossible in the Bay Area. I definitely recommend!

    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.

    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.

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.

The young lady named Laila, who is the cashier, said, "on a busy day" it's normally between 45min-2 hour wait times. With those extensive wait times, people will walk away and patronize other businesses. I counted 15 people who walked away. 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.
