Beloved taco maker TACOS SINALOA has opened a brick-and-mortar location, according to Berkeleyside Nosh. Owner Lupe Bueno has operated three well-regarded taco trucks, and this is the company’s first outpost without wheels. The menu offers tacos and monstrously large burritos, with lots of classic fillings including al pastor and shrimp. 2384 Telegraph Ave. at Channing, Berkeley.
There’s a new place for alfresco dining in Oakland, now that THE HALF ORANGE has completed their beer garden.

Oh, and now they’re also serving weekend brunch, Sat-Sun 11am-3pm. 3340 E. 12th St. at 34th St., Oakland, 510-500-3338.
Back in July, we mentioned new ice cream shop LITTLE GIANT ICE CREAM. The ice cream shop, from owners Kevin Best and Neil Rideout, is making their ice cream from scratch, instead of using a base, which means they are able to create the flavor and texture they want from the very beginning. And according to their Facebook page, it’s now open, serving unusual flavor combinations, many booze-infused. Hic. 1951 Telegraph Ave. at William, Oakland, no phone.
Eclectic sandwich spot PAL’S TAKEAWAY is moving to Oakland to partner with Firebrand Artisan Breads, Scoop reports.
