Korexican Tacos

First of all (sidenote): mashed potato omelet. Glory.

Second of all: Korean BBQ taco (yes it's real, and really good).

Ever since my boyfriend and I found out about this traveling taco truck that sold Korean BBQ tacos and burritos (veggie friendly to boot), we wanted: The Kogi Truck. They post online when they're going to be where, so we monitored and went. Yesterday it was "cold" and "rainy," but we waited in line with a couple friends and about 50 other people for the truck to arrive. 40 minutes late, the workers were putting tacos and burritos out fast, and we were eating them faster. I couldn't even stop myself to take a picture of the food for the blog. It was amazing. Tofu/kimchi/egg/potato/cheese/tortilla? Yes please.

Because it was chilly, we sped-walked to a fast food spot closeby to inhale our meals. So we're sitting there--a mutt/Caucasian, a Mexican-American, a Pakistani-American, and a Japanese guy--and we're all eating delicious Korean tacos in a dumpy El Pollo Loco. Behind us are a group of African American gay deaf guys signing to each other. It's a moment where your heart can only swell with pride. This is my home. My place. It was the marveling at the unique nature, the beauty. A reverential pause for the love of the city.


And if you're wondering how we knew the deaf guys were gay...it's because their sign language was noticeably sassy.
