Yesterday was my first visit to this food truck. Parking is a little tight, at least on a Sunday…read more Park a block or so away and get some steps in. The tacos are $5. They give a generous amount of meat. I found the shoulder meat a little dry. I think I'll try a mixture of meat next time. The red hot sauce is pretty hot. The green one is milder. The service was quick and pleasant.

Tried out Mastermind during a food truck event at Eat See Hear at LA state historic park near china…read moredown. There was a choice of about 7 food trucks. There was the Philly Steak truck with a very long line, The Chairman with a medium size line, and then the rest had basically no line. I knew that it would be a mistake, but we tried out Mastermind as the Vietnamese / Chinese food sounded good, and we have had good luck in the past with it from food trucks. I figured that it is usually hard to go wrong with a Drunken Noodle dish, so I decided to try that one. What I received was not drunken noodle. It was linguini, tossed with some spices (very dry) and more dry chicken that had tendons and was hard to chew. A piece of cilantro was tossed on top for decoration. I ordered a 3 on the spicy scale of 1-5, and tasted barely any spice. If I ever did get food from Mastermind again (which I won't), I would get a 4 or 5. Lastly, regarding the amount. This poor dish was $10. However the annoying part, that the other food trucks there did not force on me was a charge to use a credit card, that was not noted and the addition of tax, which other food trucks included in their pricing. Overall this dish was a failure, and I would be shocked how much loner Mastermind stays around. Considering I'm just the 3rd review, I think that it's days of business should be coming to an end.

Why go to panda when you can get better food for similar price!!?? And no lines! They are famous for their mini lobster (crawfish, without shells) rice, Chinese fusion tacos, pork belly rice, spicy chicken rice, drunken noddles. The owner Aldi is such a nice guy, he would joke with you, and super friendly! Go there for lunch and you will never go back to panda

One of the vegan OGs in Los Angeles…read more Had the Big Vegan Burrito and Big Vegan Torta. They're not kidding about the size. Portions are probably the most generous of any vegan restaurant I've been to. They don't skimp on the meat either. For reference, the burrito is a tad bit bigger than a Chipotle burrito and the torta completely fills the inside of a half-size takeout container. You get to choose from 6 meat options for the filling. I got al pastor. It was decent. It also comes with pineapple chunks, so if you're someone who's repulsed by pineapple on pizza, be warned that this has the same taste. Highly recommend, 10/10. The fact that this restaurant has been standing for almost a decade says a lot.

When I was in college, my friends and I had a phase where we would always be following our favorite…read morefood trucks and getting in the longest lines for them. Kogi was one of my favorite food trucks back then, but without the crazy lines from eons ago. Recently my boyfriend and I were trying to figure out what to eat for dinner and luckily the Kogi truck happened to be nearby. And there was only 2 groups in front of us. This was probably the easiest Kogi visit either. I'm not sure if it was only the day we came and they had technical difficulties or if the Kogi truck changed, but there was a handwritten sign up saying CASH ONLY on the day of our visit. My boyfriend ordered their Short Rib Burrito ($10) and I ordered their Short Rib Taco ($3.25) and their Blackjack Quesadilla ($9). The wait wasn't too bad. The burrito and taco were well packaged but the quesadilla was in a paper container and it was so oily that it seeped through and spilled into the bag. Good thing the plastic bag didn't rip or it would have spilled into the car. The taco was just as I remembered it with a good filling and a generous amount of protein. The blackjack quesadilla was oily and completely covered in salsa making it really soggy. I actually got this item so that it would be good to save for a subsequent meal since I knew I wouldn't finish it. Still a good overall meal but just too oily. I'm glad the Kogi trucks are still in business and going strong after all these years. Looking forward to continue my ongoing support whenever they are nearby.

It is a busy restaurant since it's right across the general hospital and many orders come through, so it may take some time to get your order, but there are many things you can do while waiting, watch tv or just admiring all the memorabilia! But the best part is receiving your food to chow down. I got the chilaquiles with scrambled eggs and steak for breakfast. Very yummy and warm along with the very delicious cafe de olla.

The place can take a while so I would order ahead of time.

Overall, the quality of their food makes up for whatever nitpick I find.
