Kogi

Kogi is the granddaddy of them all (if all refers only to the other twittering food trucks patrolling LA). They weren’t the first people to combine Korean and Mexican food, but they were the first to introduce it to the masses.

If you’ve never been, you should try it.
And if you’ve never eaten at a food truck, you should probably start with Kogi.


Kogi represents all that I love about the new-ish food truck moment. The lower cost of entry provides an opportunity for chefs to take risks, play, and introduce new food. And a fairly diverse community has sprung up in support. At its best, it’s like a utopian version of Bladerunner, in which all the disparate elements of LA have combined harmoniously and Harrison Ford never made Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

If you only try one thing: beef short rib burrito
