DinDin-A-GoGo Orange County is a Hit!

Tonight was the first DinDin-A-GoGo in Irvine. What a fun and packed night it was. We got there right when it started and already there was a good crowd of people waiting for the five food trucks to open their windows.




DinDin-A-GoGo is a weekly event on Thursday nights in Gardena. Tropical Shave Ice and Lomo Arigato have brought it to the OC. The event will now also be held weekly, Wednesday nights, at K1 Speed on Von Karmen/McGaw.




One of the things we like most about DinDin-A-GoGo, is how many people bring their chairs and make an evening of it. They hang out with their family and friends while eating some spectacular food! Think of it as the new family dinner table; families with children, couples, students, people from all walks of life. This was an event that everyone could enjoy. We had a chance to meet up with some of our friends as well. Some are food truck fanatics like us and some just know great food when they taste it.




The lineup tonight was Tropical Shave Ice, Lomo Arigato, Piaggio on Wheels, The Shrimp Guys and Calbi BBQ. Next week we expect that Dos Chinos will be on site.




Considering the event was just announced on Monday, we were happy to see such a huge turnout and all the support the trucks received. It was a nice mix having both OC and LA trucks at the event.


If you are a fan of food trucks or just want to try one to see what all the rage is about, come by DinDin-A-GoGo next week and make sure to say Hi! I think this might become our regular Wednesday night dinner spot.


Check out some of the food!!

DinDin-A-GoGo Comes to the OC! - K1 Speed - Irvine, CA

DinDin-A-GoGo is a gourmet food truck gathering on Thursday nights at the K1 Speed in Gardena, CA. This weekly event founded by Eric Nakata of Lomo Arigato started with two trucks, Lomo Arigato and Tropical Shave Ice. Eric invites 2-3 additional trucks every week to keep things fresh for the guests. So that means every week 4 to 5 trucks invade Gardena to serve up their awesome creations in a fun, family-style setting.

We had a chance to join the party a few weeks back. It felt much like a tailgate party! There were a lot of people having a great time, eating delicious food, visiting with friends and just kickin it.

Now Rick, the owner of Tropical Shave Ice, is bringing DinDin-A-GoGo to the OC! Starting this Wednesday night, Tropical Shave Ice and Lomo Arigato are coming to K1 Speed in Irvine (17221 Von Karman Avenue & McGaw) from 5:30 to 9 p.m. With them this week will be Orange County’s own Dos Chinos and Piaggio On Wheels along with special guest The Shrimp Guys.  Both Rick and Eric wanted to use this opportunity to unite the LA & OC food truck scene.

All of these trucks are amazing. We have been to all but The Shrimp Guys and they were on the top of our list to try at this week’s OC Foodie Fest. Now we don’t have to wait until then!


Piaggio On Wheels


So pack up your foldable chairs, bring your family and friends, and head on over to K1 Wednesday night. If you have not been to a gourmet food truck yet, these are some amazing choices to introduce you to the food truck revolution. I bet you will become addicted like we are! We hope to see you there!
