Driving the news: I was one of dozens of people who waited anxiously in a line that stretched down Cole Street to try one of the Oakland-based restaurant's special offerings Tuesday night.
Dig in: I ordered the open-faced bean and cheese "double decker" quesadilla, loaded with a citrusy green salsa and pickled onions.
My husband had the vegan chickpea chimichanga, deep-fried golden and served with nopales.
If you go: You can find Michel's brick-and-mortar in Temescal at 420 40th St., but to get special one-off items like the ones I tried you'll have to catch him at a pop-up on a Tuesday or Wednesday when the restaurant is closed.
What's next: Until the end of the month, Tacos Oscar will be popping up on Wednesdays from 5pm to 9pm at the Missouri Lounge in Berkeley.
