The dude tried 2 al pastor tacos and 2 lengua tacos. The pastor was decent and the lengua was really good. If you are in this part of town and find yourself hungry, go here immediately and eat.

I can name off a few other food trucks that easily fall behind New York Galbi in terms of food…read morequality and taste. While walking out of LACMA, we saw New York Galbi parked somewhat across the street. The Peanut Butter Truck something or other was closing up shop so we walked a few feet down to check out this truck. It's not painted and decorated all fancy or cutesy like all the other trucks. It's just straight-to-the-point this is what we can make for you and this is what it'll cost you. No frills. I got the Combo #1 which includes 2 tacos of your choice and a can of soda for $4.99. I got the tofu and spicy pork taco. I always ALWAYS have to order the tofu taco whenever I hit an Asian Fusion taco truck only because I think it's not an easy task to make a good tofu taco. You have to make sure the tofu is cooked just right with the right amount of flavor. New York Galbi makes a real good tofu taco my friends. The vegetables were crunchy and fresh and the special sauce was sweet which complimented all of the ingredients very well. The spicy pork taco was a bit too salty and it simply had too much sauce. The meat itself was very tender. Compared to many of the other taco trucks I've tried, New York Galbi gives you pretty hearty portions. Although I only had two tacos, I was pretty stuffed in the end. New York Galbi probably won't be a truck I'd go out of my way for but I'd definitely get some tacos if I saw it. NOTE: Why New York Galbi? The owner is from New York or use to live there once upon a time (forgot which so sorry!).

The main reason I'd come here is for the kimchi quesadilla. I loooove kimchi quesadillas, and this truck does a great job. It's perfectly cheesy and gooey, and grilled just right. It also comes with a sweet dipping sauce that complements it well. The burritos have been pretty disappointing, filled with mostly veggies. The tortillas are stiff and crumble apart easily. At around $8, we expected something better. I have also tried the lobster quesadilla, which is significantly more expensive but not as good as the kimchi. Not the BEST truck in town, and I'm not sure how it got its name, but if I see it, I will probably get a kimchi quesadilla. Even in sobriety. The man who works there is funny and outgoing too.

Good place to grab a quick bite after shopping at Home Depot! Cheap greasy and fast!read more

Taco Crawl Stop #2…read more Tried the tinga - tasted like shredding chicken + sauce. It's supposed to be marinated in that sauce and all, wasn't spicy like it should be. Not sure why it's called tinga if that was the case. But meh. Order first, and when you're done eating - you settle the bill with the owner. Parked right around Cesar Chavez (as the major street).

They hand-press their own tortillas, which is always a big plus. I ordered the quesadilla asada and ended up getting a quesadilla-sized taco (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=9a7Yrd8sKxLNqPnLm_imPQ&userid=1prVpumNNs_6LmHR_6opYA). It's not fried or even put on a stove like your standard quesadilla. There's crema and shredded lettuce and some cotija cheese in there, but none of the gooey deliciousness that you'll get when you order quesadillas other places. That being said, it was still quite good (mostly due to the delicious tortilla) after opening it up and adding the usual taco fixings. The asada was way too fatty but was seasoned well. Also tried the tinga (not spicy at all) and the chicharron (soggy, as it is with most taco places). Not sure what the best meat is here but it's not one of the three I tried. Order first and pay after you finish your food.

I also love her chicken mole, pollo guisado, and she makes a mean cheeseburger and asada torta too. Sometimes id come in the morning and grab a chorizo breakfast burrito which came loaded with peppers and hashbrowns/cheese which made them stand out. Soooo good. I'd often eat here literally 4 out of my 5 days on the job(worked weekends so they were closed on Sunday) Everything here is delicious and made fresh, with love. Roxana and Victor and their daughter always provide excellent service, don't miss out on this. If I still worked there I'd go all the time. Not exaggerating, I miss this place. I'll be back soon Roxana!!!

What happened was that I stumbled upon this stand's neighbor a couple days ago, Enrique El Borrego,…read morea truck specializing in succulent barbacoa. While my eyes were rolled slightly back into my head as tender, redolent barbacoa slid down my gullet, I spied a second truck posted up just about 75-100 quesadillas down the road, closer to Alameda. The magic bullet at this truck is the delightful array of presentations of the freshly-made tortillas (I saw Martita [I presume] handling balls of dough at the griddle). Tacos, Tacos con queso, Mulitas, Sopes, Huaraches, Tlacoyos, Picaditas, and the world famous, in a pastrami sort of way, Quesadillas. In addition to more standard carnes, one can also get papa con raja, papa con chorizo (my choice), hongos, huitlacoche, and flor de calabaza. The tortilla shape she makes for the quesadillas is ingenius. It is the Los Angeles answer to the Adams Morgan jumbo slice and the New York flip flop. It's a narrow oblong/football shape that lends itself perfectly to eating on the go. It held all the delicious, well-seasoned mixture of potatoes and chorizo, along with a generous fill of melty, gooey queso, and the bright good-morning habanero salsa and the smoky salsa roja that I hit it with, with minimal mess as I ate it with delight whilst bending around the corner of 8th and Alameda. By the time I bent back onto 7th street, it was gone. But I'll be back.
