Food Trucks, Los Angeles

Los Angeles , California
Concierge.com's insider take:

L.A.'s roving food trucks are popping up all over the city—from Hollywood to Malibu—and are proving to be a big hit with foodies and night owls looking for tasty dishes for only a few bucks. Twitter has played a major role in helping Angelenos track down the latest on the mobile gastronomic scene (when we don't give an exact location, check Twitter to see where these trucks will be on any given day). Here's a guide to our current food-truck favorites.

Kogi serves Asian-Mexican fusion. The Korean BBQ short-rib taco and kimchi quesadilla are so good, people don't mind standing in line for over an hour.

Dosatruck's amazing South Indian street food with a twist is prepared by Brooklyn-born chef Leena Deneroff. Try the masala fries with tomato chutney.

FishLips is located outside the chic shopping mall Malibu Lumber Yard, where two sushi chefs slice up your favorite California, spicy tuna, and rainbow rolls.

Flying Pig Truck has been a trial run of sorts for Cordon Bleu grads Joe Kim and James Seitz's Asian/Pacific Rim-meets-French restaurant (scheduled to open in 2010).

Border Grill's taco truck sports a similar design motif as Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger's upscale Mexican restaurant in Santa Monica. Their award-winning tamales are also on board.

Baby's Badass Burgers has made its name for gourmet burgers served up from a hot pink truck by even hotter women in sexy uniforms. Order the half-pound Cougar with aged beef.

Let's Be Frank parks in Culver City across from the old Helms Building. The delicious hot dogs are grass-fed, organic beef—and guilt-free.

Dogtown Dogs also serves gourmet dogs, but offerings here include a "trailer trash dog," with chili and crushed Fritos.

The Grilled Cheese Truck usually parks by the Brig in balmy Venice. Chef David Danhi's Harvest Melt with roasted butternut squash, sautéed leeks, and agave syrup is typical of the tasty combos on offer.

The Buttermilk Truck, a 1950s comfort food diner, is also a regular at the Brig most nights. Try the chicken and waffles, one of its big crowd-pleasers.

Green Truck, which runs on vegetable oil rather than gas, is where to go for all things organic, gluten-free, and veggie. Try the meatless burger on a toasted whole-wheat bun with goat's milk feta and tomatoes.—Carole Dixon
