Help celebrate its 40th anniversary! Absolutely, these are the best tacos I've had in the Bay Area. Make sure you order the tacos dorados, as you'll get both a crispy and soft layer of shell. My preference is for the carnitas, or crispy pork, but you can be brave and order cabeza (brain) or lengua (tongue). 4 stars - 1482 reviews

Three
blocks away is this pinata-and-chihuahua-themed dive bar. The cash-only
establishment serves a mean margarita at a good price. You can even
play pool, or sit out front and watch the Marina girls stumble by. 4

Such a cool
idea. For seven years, Urban Tilth has worked to bring agriculture to
urban areas of Richmond and San Pablo. The program has partnered with
schools, nonprofits, corporations, and government and now coordinates 12
small farms and three churches. The Greenway Community Garden, in the
heart of the Iron Triangle, and the Kennedy High Farm and Garden are two
great examples. Earlier this month, Richmond High hosted a student-run
salad bar for lunch by using harvested lettuce and lemons, and
student-made salad dressings.
