Off the Grid is an eatery dedicated to bringing together a community’s street food vendors in order to create an outdoor food court, of sorts. Located on North Shoreline Boulevard in Mountain View, it is a quintessential dining spot for Bay Area foodies.

This market has many wonderful options to choose from. There is something here for every craving, from tacos to dumplings to gourmet ice cream sandwiches. The chicken from Cluck it Up is always a good choice, as are the Japanese crepes from J Shack. Nachos, sushi burritos, and specialty hot dogs are still just the tip of the iceberg here. Perhaps best of all, these options are all available in an outdoor setting, giving you the chance to enjoy street food as it was meant to be: in the fresh air, surrounded by your neighbors!
