make a stop here. you don't have to get fried chicken, you can get egg salad if you want. Do not let the lines deter you; often they'll give you free cookies while you wait.

Its packed day and night, 7 days a week year round for good reason. If you're not feeling the wait, call ahead and order a half baked pizza to go, bring it back to the house and finish in the oven!

Open till 3am. Two taco trucks, one lot. The one in the back is better, but no one knows why. Go here not just for amazing food, but an incredible cross section of the residents that make up Oakland.
