  • 'The 13 Best Restaurants on Martha’s Vineyard'

    “New this summer to Oak Bluffs’ waterfront nightlife district is a patio-equipped restaurant serving some of the island’s most beloved tacos. These few-bite handhelds—such as crispy, cheesy pork birria, and seared tuna belly tacos—were once available only from a food truck parked outside the Sand Bar, but the new outpost from entrepreneur Jordan Wallace is open all day and boasts its own full bar.”

  • 'A visit to Midnight Taco'

    "The food itself was a bright array of colors, a feast for my eyes. I found the shrimp bowl to be magnificent. What we both loved was the freshness of the ingredients, and ingredients like cotija cheese and pickled onions that we rarely eat, but love. It was obvious the chef takes pride in — and pays attention when — picking the quality and types of ingredients. Everything was so tasty, and the flavors danced around my mouth with delight."

About our restaurant

Midnight was born out of a love for Southern Californian Mexican cuisine, with an emphasis on fresh produce (much of which we grow in our own kitchen garden in Oak Bluffs), marinated meats, locally caught seafood (much of which we source from the same Oak Bluffs fishermen we worked for as kids), and classic preparation styles we’ve been fine-tuning since our days on the Midnight Train.

Whether we’re marinating, grilling, fermenting, slow cooking or searing our philosophy is to find the best ingredients we can and let them shine.

Our commitment to making things from scratch and sourcing local ingredients means that we sell outof certain items sometimes, it’s a trade off we think is worth it to make you the best food we know how to make.
