Kogi

I've been hearing lots of murmurs about Korean tacos as of late. After a happy encounter with pork belly kimchi my interest was perked. The briny Korean classic pair brilliantly with salty pork, so why not in a taco? As luck would have it, we stumbled upon an elusive Kogi truck in Venice this weekend. So, late to the revolution, we filed in line. Well worth the wait, 45 minutes later, we tacos in hand. 47 minutes later we were stuffed. Despite our sushi dinner a mere 2 hours prior we scarfed down $2 spicy pork & short rib tacos in a flash. Modestly sized, these little botañas were stuffed with tangy kimchi, perfectly caramelized pork or short ribs, then doused with spicy sriracha sauce. The result was an incredibly flavorful little taco deserving of its halo of hype. If you find yourself wandering the streets of LA, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for this modest food mecca -- or at least the winding line. Daunting though it may seem, stick it out, it's worth it.
