Alibi- Culver City, CA

Ok, so I lied. I looked at my "list of places I'd like to try" and I managed to accomplish getting to at least one of them (again, wasn't able to take photos, and 2 drinks in...). And you could argue that it wasn't authentic, since I ate the Korean-Mexican tacos at Alibi (a bar) instead of standing in line for an hour to receive my tacos out of the Kogi truck. But come on..I think part of what makes the food taste better is the anticipation of receiving them after an hour wait. At least knowing that I received my food ASAP gives me a more objective view not tainted by anticipation and extreme hunger. AND you know that food tends to taste better with beer anyways..so there.

Point being, it was a little salty. I think Korean food AND Mexican food in general is quite flavorful, and when mixed together, it's tasty, and salty. But it makes for good bar food, so I can't say it was terrible with my beer. Let's just say, I'd eat it if I was at Alibi, or if the Kogi truck had a less-than-20-min wait time, but I won't go craving it like I crave CCC (just saying).

If you go, try the Tacos (obvs) and the Breakfast Burrito (not as breakfasty as it sounds, I promise). Avoid the Kimchee Quesadilla at all costs.
