If you’ve never heard of the Kogi truck, then you must have been living under a rock. A Korean-Mexican fusion taco truck that brings the taco truck to a much tastier level. Entrees include, but not limited to, tacos, hot dogs, burritos, quesadillas, and sliders consisting of Korean BBQ and other Asian flavored meats and ingredients. Check out their schedule and their website at www.kogibbq.com. I highly recommend getting there a half hour early and bring cash. And try not to order the entire menu because believe, you’re going to be tempted. But also trust me when I say that you won’t have enough room for it unless you take it home. Entrees range from $2-$5. I also high recommend bringing your own drinks because the canned soda will really drive up the cost. You can easily spend $15-$20 on the entrees alone without even realizing it.
The Kogi Dog - A hot dog topped with their chili soy vinaigrette salad and house red sauce. I don’t think this will become one of my go-to entrees buts its still worth trying.
Kim chi quesadilla - I should warn you, in reading other peoples experiences with the kim chi quesadilla, people either really enjoyed it or just didn’t at all. I was one of those that did. You wouldn’t think that cheese and fermented napa cabbage would go together but it actually works out surprisingly well. You may not like it if you haven’t gotten used to the acquired kim chi taste, but it’s worth giving a try if you have. It is topped with their red sauce and has sesame seeds, and is a little tangy and a little spicy but not overbearingly spicy. Make sure you bring your Tide pen because this especially gets messy. That Tide pen has saved me on more than one occasion.
The Kogi sliders are by far my most favorite item on their menu. The meat is Korean BBQ with shredded cheese, chili-soy salad and sesame mayo. The buns are buttered and toasted and everything together is just oh so heavenly. The anticipation is brutal but the rewards are priceless to your tummy.
Our Kogi feast. Don’t worry, it’s not all for me, although that would be fantastic. Sorry I didn’t get a better picture of the chocolate cake in the middle, but that’s because I dug into it so fast I forgot to get a close up. Anyways, that’s their Chocolate Tres Leches. A super moist chocolate cake that’s topped with peanut brittle, toffee, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Cocoa pebbles. The diddle has tapioca milk that oozes once you open it up, which is probably why they keep it in the aluminum up. As they describe on the website “you can totally make out with it in a dark corned shamelessly,” which when my other forgot to get me a fork, I did. I ate it right out of the cup and wasn’t ashamed to do it in front of four other people.
Rating: 4.5/ 5 Bites
Budget: $-$$, probably spending in the teens depending on how desperate you are to try everything.
Tip: Bring your own drinks because drinks ,if you buy it from them, it will easily drive up the cost and its just canned soda.
