Bikes in Fruitvale
Mariscos Sinaloa, specializing in southwest coastal Mexican tacos (i.e. seafood), at International and 22nd.
The perfect taco de pescado
Jill made everything about 500x more fun
Dilapidation and palm tree in Fruitvale
Definitely the best chorizo I've ever had, at Tacos El Grullo
Menu at Tacos El Grullo, on International and 26th. I love these menus.

Classy truck art at Tacos El Grullo
Mi Grullense, on International and 30th. Apparently they're popular enough to support two trucks, which flank the curb cut in front of the Goodwill.
I am having a love affair with these signs. (via George Bluth Sr.)
What font would this be? Taco Truck Sans?
I had to be adventurous and get a taco de buche, which I thought was going to be cheek meat from a cow. Turns out it was pig's esophagus. Needless to say I got myself some carnitas after a bite or two.
Taco de buche. Too gummy for this gringo.
Tostada de ceviche. Jill made a good choice with this one.
El Ojo de Agua, on 31st Ave. and 12th St.
The last truck stop of the day
The BART line on 12th St.
Taco al pastor and an "oat milkshake," because I hadn't already eaten enough
Nieves Cinco de Mayo, a fresh Mexican ice cream/sorbet place in the Fruitvale Fresh Market, and the last stop of the day. Jill's coconut ice cream was incredible.
Pitaya (cactus fruit) sorbet. Complex flavor profile, sort of sweet and sour.
