Kimchi Loco

Slow-braised carnitas, sizzling bulgogi, house-fermented kimchi — tucked into tortillas pressed to order.

Three trucks, one griddle, zero regrets. We marinate for 24 hours, ferment our kimchi for three days, and fry everything to order. If you don't leave with sauce on your shirt, we haven't done our job.

How spicy can we make it?

Drag the slider. We'll load the jalapeños, the gochujang and the extra napkins. No judgment — our staff has taken down a 5 on a dare.

We met in a food truck queue

Danny grew up flipping bingsoo at his abuela's Seoul kitchen. Mina spent her teens on a taco-truck route in Tijuana. One slow night in 2018, they traded recipes on a napkin — bulgogi folded into a warm tortilla, kimchi turned into slaw — and Kimchi Loco was born out of that napkin.

Three trucks later we're still chasing the same idea: food that respects where it comes from, and never apologises for being loud.

Before you ask

Good questions

Do you have vegan & vegetarian options?

Yes! Our Bibimbap Bowl (no meat, add egg or avocado), Kimchi Fries, Yuzu Salsa Chickenless Tacos and the Kimchi Corn are 100% plant-based. About 30% of our menu is meat-free and we never charge extra for veg swaps.

Are your tortillas gluten-free?

Our corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and pressed in-house. We keep a separate griddle for gluten-free orders so there's zero cross-contact. The only gluten on the menu is in our Korean-fried chicken breading and our Yuzu soda bread.

Can I order ahead?

Yes — call the number above or tap "Order Now" and we'll text you a pickup time. Orders placed 20+ minutes ahead skip the line. We also do delivery through our partners on weekends.

Do you cater events?

Absolutely. Taco bars start at 25 guests, full truck service at 100+. Send us the details in the catering form and we'll send a quote with menu options within 2 hours.

What if I can't handle spicy?

Order heat level 0 and you'll get a gentle, buttery-sweet sauce with zero heat. We also offer yuzu salsa verde and ssam cream on the side. Nobody leaves crying — except the people who order level 5 on a dare.

Your lunch break is
about to get better

Two tacos, a side of kimchi fries and an iced yuzu lemonade. Usually under $15. Usually gone in ten minutes.
