Tacos

August 9th, 2009

All of our tacos come with our own home salsa, an onion-cilantro relish, and a salad with a chili-soy vinaigrette. And here are the contenders for your mouths to water at.


$2 – Short-rib – Beautifully marbled beef taken from the best cuts of short rib we could find marinated in a savory and sweet soy based marinade. Don’t worry kids, no bones! All short rib tacos come with salsa roja and the regular toppings.


$2 – Spicy Pork – Though not as popular by the masses as the short rib, the spicy pork has been a favorite for many of the Kogi staff. Utilizing a blend of pork belly and shoulder, and a sweet and spicy marinade derived from soy and Korean red chili paste, these sucker rock. And don’t worry, the heat on these bad boys has been dialed back a bit so it’s safe to eat for most of you people out there :) Spicy pork tacos come with salsa roja and the usual suspects of greens.


$2 – Chicken – A bit lighter in flavor than the short rib and spicy pork, this one is for you poultry lovers out there. All our chicken tacos use meat from the most flavorful part of the chicken – the thighs and is marinated in a light ginger-soy marinade. These tacos come with salsa roja and our usual toppings.


$2 – Tofu – Though this is fully vegetarian, we encourage you carnivores to try these. No, this isn’t some weak ass tofu dish some place offer as an “alternative”, this is a full fledged promise from our kitchen to you to make a bombass vegetarian taco. We use the same sweet and spicy marinade that we use for our spicy pork and 100% organic sprout tofu. For salsa we use salsa verde and top it with rest of our usual veggies.


$3 – Calamari – The newest member of our family. Our calamari swims in a wonderful citrus, soy, and ginger marinade before it hits our hot planchas and is topped with our sweet-sticky-icky Salsa Naranja and good helping of onions.

You can always order these tacos as you like ‘em. Whether you want to skip the onions, salad, switch out our salsa for any of our other salsas – Roja, Verde, Naranja, and Azul, or go crazy and get half short-rib and half pork, the final decision is up to you.

    Oi, I just turned on the t.v at 1am (to feed the insomniac’s soul) and saw something about your short rib tacos on “The Best Thing I Ever Ate”.

    I’ve seriously never seen anything like a Korean (or any type of Asian) taco! Sadly, I live in Florida, so I hope to go to LA in the future to try that taco….and reading this, I wanna try the tofu one too >D

    Just……make sure you guys never go away… ;~;

    Saw a story on NBC about you. Your food looks awsome! I live in the Cayman Islands so I won’t be able to sample it. If you could share the recipe for your Short Rib Taco’s would love to try making them. If not I understand. All the best

    @George We sell our marinades, salsa’s, and vinaigrette at our sister restaurant, Chego – 3300 Overland Blvd, Culver City, CA. All you need to grab is Shortrib marinade, Salsa Roja, and vinaigrette. Then go buy some meat, veggies, and tortillas and bam! You’ve got Kogi at home. Oh, and when you’re at Chego, don’t forget to try the Cubby Pork Bowl, that is my answer to world peace my friend :)
