Kim and I waited in line 2 hours to get our food and it was worth it. The menu is small but flavorful and we tried a lot of it. The unique part is they take classic korean ingredients made fresh and put a mexican almost "taqueria" twist on it. Example would be korean BBQ short-ribs "kalbi" made into a taco or burrito with asian cabbage and different sauces. Out of this world good.
This was our dinner. It included a great bottle of 2008 Seghesio Sonoma Zinfandel that we had at home.
Like I said we tried a lot off there menu. Here is the break down. If you want to see better pictures and a complete menu go to http://kogibbq.com/category/menu/.
Spicy Pork and Chicken Tacos
Kogi Kimchi Quesadilla (AWESOME!!)
Calamari Taco and Tres Leches Cake
The cake was to die for. It shocked us both how good it was!
This was all mine! A Kalbi Short-rib burrito. Unreal! Very hard to describe. I think I need another one to do it justice. The meat was marinated the caramelized to perfection, it had some good heat and the flavor combination was like nothing I have had before. Yes I will do that again, and again!
I think I can get used to the growing trend of Gourmet Food Trucks. That was our first and we are looking forward to more. My father is looking forward to visiting the Grilled Cheese Truck. Their menu looks delicious. However they are only LA (Not that it will stop anyone from driving there). It was nice to see Kogi have a truck in the OC. They seem to be doing well so I am sure it is only a matter of time before more arrive with their delights.
I agree the Gourmet Food Truck craze will get bigger and better and I can't wait for the trend to spread to OC. Jane and I will be in downtown (DTLA) at the LA Food Fest http://lastreetfoodfest.com/ watch for our reviews and pictures on Face Book at Gourmet Food Trucks http://bit.ly/cSKsLi Please become a fan of Gourmet Food Trucks and post your comment, discussion and watch the event page.
ReplyDeleteYUM! That quesedilla looks awesome and I can't wait to see a post from the grilled cheese truck. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my very favorite dives is "El Indio" in San Diego. I've been eating there as long as I can remember and its turned into a nice chain in San Diego, but in the beginning it was truly a dive. Last time I was down there I noticed that the DDD guy had stopped by and used them in an episode. Totally worth the drive. Definitely go to the original on India Street.
Michelle - El Indio is a regular stop for us. Love their fresh corn tortillas and the morditas! Taquitos smothered in nacho cheese, Yum! Next door is Blue Water Grill and they are a DDD joint as well. They do incredible fish tacos with El Indio tortillas. If you have nto been their you have to check it out. However plan to wait in line!
ReplyDeleteI'm a FAN!! Waited in line 45 min. but it was well worth it cuz it was sooo good. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool Kelly! I am glad you liked it. We both loved it and will be happy to wait in line again!
