Kogi Korean BBQ Taco Truck ~ Los Angeles
Is there anything more Los Angeles then a Korean BBQ Taco Truck that cruises the streets delivering high quality fusion cuisine to the city’s taco lifestyle hubs? We salute the Kogi truck and hope it is the inspiration for many more… Pictures by Tales of an LA Addict. More info including where the truck is going to be at their website.

I thought “Roach Coaches” were illegal in LA now?
But I must say, if I see this one, I WILL pull over and get some yum from them!
Food from a truck is usually awesome, and this fusion looks so perfect!

just had some of the worst and most hyped food ever–the tofu tacos were very plain and can be made at home for a few quarters….the kimchi quesadilla is possibly one of the worst things i’ve eaten in years

This is an amazing concept … I have to find this truck. In Frisco, where I roll, John’s Deli in downtown serves up a mean Kim Chee Burrito.

I never knew this existed until I went to a party last night and the truck rolled up. As I type this comment, I’m eating a kalbi beef breakfast burrito that I saved from last night which is quite possibly the best burrito I’ve had in my ENTIRE LIFE!
