Grabbed a pork chile verde taco ($4), mushroom and nopale taco ($4) and delicata squash quesadilla ($7) last night after checking out the Eames exhibit at the Oakland Museum. [I tried to go to FOB Kitchen but they apparently close at 2:30 on Saturdays, dinner Wed-Friday 5-10, which makes it unlikely I’ll ever eat there]. Mushroom/nopale was really good with the pickled nopale providing a nice balance to the earthy mushrooms, with some pumpkin seeds (I think) sprinkled on top for crunch. Chile Verde was my least favorite, the pork was shredded really fine and kind of one note without much noticeable chile verde. Quesedilla was nice, open face with crisped queso that tasted almost meaty with perfectly cooked squash. They handmake the tortillas fresh to order. Kind of a farmers market driven taco shop. The little outdoor space they have is nice. Order at the window then sit down with your number. Nice little beer selection.
