    I am in Oakland for business from Florida. After watching this video I had to give this food truck a try. I travel a lot and love to try tacos from all over the U.S. This truck by far has the best tacos Ive ever had. I went with the quesabirria with three tacos and dipping juice. I actually drank the left over juice from the cup . Unbelievably good. Please check this place out. I will be back every time I’m in Oakland.

    Anytime I think about complaining, I remember how incredibly privileged I have been considering I was born here and given every opportunity to succeed. So many people come here with nothing but a dream.. not even an identity. They're forced to start 10 steps behind while most of us are 20 steps ahead, and yet they still find success and are able to make something so fulfilling. It's really inspiring, and it serves as a reminder that the only thing stopping me, is me. What's your excuse?
