In my brief flirtation with Los Angeles food trucks, I manage to sample, or at least attempt to sample, four diverse offerings that each presented some insight into the current state of street food in LA.

Tex’s Tacos, an Atlanta Tex-Mex food truck, is set to open a restaurant (of sorts).

Another day, another mini-food tour that is my burden. At least I had good company! Lunch Along with GI Joe, I took a Susie Washing Machine to lunch for her birthday. She’s works near Cloverleaf so we hit up YJ for some of their awesome tonkotsu ramen. My guests were thoroughly satiated, but my more …
