The Korean Taco Justice League: Kogi Rolls Into L.A.

From Rosemead side streets to Venice dive bars, hungry Angelenos have a new way to roll

“I’m the chef,” Choi says. “I got tired of running big kitchens where I never got to touch the food. Mark [Manguera, founder and front man] is amazing with people. Caroline [Shin-Manguera, second-in-command, with finance powers] comes here after working as the food and beverage manager at the Four Seasons all day — you should see her when things get bad; she has the gift of calm. Eric [Shin, so-called “padawan in training”] takes the pictures. Mike [Prasad] is great with the social-networking stuff. I like to look at us as the Justice League of food — each of us has a superpower, and we come together to fight evil.’’

Track current location of truck at www.kogibbq.com, or twitter.com/kogibbq. No alcohol, but often alcohol-adjacent. Takeout only. Cash only. Tacos $2; burritos $5
