9th Avenue Terminal — Attraction in Oakland

The first time we stumbled on this place, we enjoyed the food, although it took a bit of time to receive it, and we were the only ones there. My husband ordered the hamburger lumpia, a dessert one, and I got Adobe fries with house mad cheese sauce, and it was delicious.
