"Tacos Oscar has been roaming Oakland’s art and music scene for almost five years, selling tacos and quesadillas from a propane-fueled plancha in alleys, at bars, and just about anywhere. Now, founders Oscar Michel and Jake Weiss have found themselves a permanent taco haven at 420 40th Street in Oakland’s Temescal neighborhood. The dining area is all outdoors and is partially covered, with plans to add infrared heaters down the line. The menu changes once a week, based on what produce is available, and always includes a vegan option alongside meaty fillings." - Ellen Fort
