"Kogi BBQ is like an old friend: familiar, reliable, and comforting. For the last 15 years, the Korean-Mexican street food truck has been serving tacos and burritos filled with things like tender galbi-style beef topped with a sweet-tangy slaw that will instantly transport you to a Korean BBQ spot. Another standout is its kimchi quesadillas slathered in a salsa roja and toasted sesame seeds. Gone are the old days of chasing down the truck on Twitter, as things are much more streamlined now with schedules listed on its website and its fleet of trucks roving everywhere from Northridge to Pasadena and Long Beach." - jean trinh 1, sylvio martins
