Funny Thing

Funny thing happened at lunch today. Usually on Thursdays (as of late) I try to hit Kogi on Olympic near the TLofts. Most of the time, since last summer, its been the Verde truck and crew. After a while, I got to know the name of the guy that runs that truck, Mike. So every time I go to order I say "hey Mike, how's it goin?" and he always says "hey Leandro, how are you what can I get for you?". I always thought it was pretty cool to try to get to know the people who's food you enjoy, even if just by name. Well, today, I walk up, we exchange greetings and before I could order or Mike says anything, one of the cooks yells "two pork tacos no onions/cilantro!" followed by lots of laughter, followed by the other cook yelling "605!" The price of 2 tacos and a Diet Coke. Made me laugh and my order was up before I could put my wallet away. I guess they know my order and I think that might make me a regular.

It Really Was Taco Tuesday

Lots of places have taco specials on tuesdays, which are usually called taco tuesdays (I know, big surprise). Some places you get 3 for price of 2 or discounts in general and so on. Its one of the phrases I feel like I've heard for years. Well, yesterday, I had my own version of taco tuesday, tacos for both lunch and dinner and they were all different. Hit Wahoo's for lunch, had a shrimp and spicy blackened fish tacos (both were excellent and tasty), then for dinner, had KogiBBQ truck, 2 spicy pork and a tofu taco (by the way, one taco to many). I must really like tacos.

Finally caught the Kogi truck! Plus there was no line. Had a spicy pork taco and a spicy tofu taco. Spicy pork was awesome. Tofu was pretty good, mild. Great flavors. I can see why they're doing so well. I think they will be hitting this location on weekly basis now which is just a short walk for me. Nice.
