EAST BAY
Tacos El Gordo
Arguably the best tacos that you can find in Oakland and the East Bay at large. With the amount of Mexican food in the Bay, that's saying a lot.
Bowl'd Acai
Oftentimes street food and food trucks can be delicious, but also quite heavy. If you're looking to get away from the grease and find something a bit more healthy, check out Bowl'd Acai for some smoothies, acai bowls, and pressed juices. They have locations in both Oakland and San Francisco.
Royal Egyptian Cuisine
This spot has really awesome, authentic Egyptian food, but has a unique quality that makes it really stand out in the food truck world. The chef, Elmy Kader, is also a pretty charming guy, so you might get a laugh while also getting some amazing food.
Pupuseria Rosita
This place offers a bit more than your typical taco truck. In addition to Mexican cuisine, Pupuseria Rosita also specializes in Central American food. They offer pupusas, tamales, plantains, tacos, and a bunch of other dishes. Keep in mind that this place is cash only, so come prepared.
