1. Carnitas El Guero

    A weekend-only carnitas stand parked on a industrial stretch of Oakland near the railroad tracks, and people lose their minds for it. The Morales family slings rich carnitas by the pound, plus tacos, tortas, and burritos, and they sell out pretty much every single week. Lines get long, so showing up early isn't a suggestion. A few communal tables if you want to eat on the spot, or just take it and go.
