I finally tried the much hyped-about Kogi taco truck. What might have been a very pleasant experience turned out to be not so pleasant thanks to a bunch of people who decided that it was alright to cut in line. Here's the story: My friend and I checked the Kogi Web site and saw that the truck would be in downtown L.A. on Friday night so we headed over early anticipating a long line. When we got there, the line wasn't very long and people were being served rather quickly. After about 20 minutes in line, a group of seven (!) walked in front of us and greeted the couple ahead of us. So it turns out the couple was saving places in line for them. Now, I can understand saving a place in line for one person, maybe two, but seven. That's just rude! So, here's my review:
1. The chicken taco and the bbq taco ($2 each) was really yummy. The tofu burrito ($5) was o.k.
2. You must have gum or mints on hand for after because your breath will smell like chili and sesame.
3. Friendly staff/vendors. (I wonder if they're trained to flirt with their customers?)
4. Be patient: The whole process included waiting in line to order and then waiting again to get your order.
In summary, the food is delicious and well worth the $2, but let's face it, the media hype and having to search out this taco truck is what's making it a sensation right now. I won't be lining up anytime soon.
And finally, DON'T CUT!

Freaky! I just heard about this on the radio the other day and thought, I gotta eat that. You are way ahead of the curve, as always.
