Kogi Taco Truck – Not Your Average Roach Coach
Posted by AMPStaff on Mar. 8, 2009 Posted under: Restaurants
If you have not had the very-LA experience of ordering kimchee and spicy pork tacos from the Kogi Korean taco truck and wolfing them down on a nearby curb, well, fix that. Stat. For months the Kogi roach coach obsession has been hitting new heights with inibriated bar-goers and young college students alike, prompting epic reviews on Yelp! like this:
“When that white truck w/ the big Kogi sticker came around the corner, people actually got up off the sidewalk, screamed “Kogi” and started clapping. Wha-??? It seriously seemed like a celebrity siting or something! All that excitement made me want to start chanting “Kogi Kogi Kogi”. After a half hour in line, our little crew got spicy pork, tofu, chicken and short ribs tacos (the full taco menu), as well as a burrito (forgot which flavor).”
Check the Kogi BBQ website for their route (you’ll see it in the right column): http://kogibbq.com/

Stupid.
The founder-woman’s reason for why Corean & Mexican did not mix until now in LOS ANGELES has more to do with the fact that it would not be LA without Mexicans & that America’s largest Corean population is in LA.
Hence the contact and eventual mixing would be inevitable.
Not her specious culture-based argument that:
‘until recently, Koreans have been very conservative – they rarely mixed their food with any other food, except for Chinese and Japanese. But the times are changing.’
Corean food IN COREA itself probably only mixed with the foods of its adjacent countries for reasons of geography & colonization.
She needs to stop applying an American situation to Corea.
