A new food truck called "Barcelona On The Go" offers items such as: "lentil soup ($3), flat iron steak with chimichurri sauce ($9), ham & cheese croquettes ($5), chicken empanadas ($6), tortilla Espanola with piquillo peppers aioli ($4) and chicken and seafood paella ($9)."

The truck will make its debut on Saturday, February 20 from 3-8 p.m. at 250 Ogle Street in Costa Mesa. This is the Hi-Time Wine Cellars parking lot.

Brooklyn Boy Deli truck, a Jewish deli on wheels, will launch full-time in OC next week. It's made a few appearances in Irvine this month. 'The truck's main menu features $10 combo meals: half-pound sandwiches "piled high" with select sliced-to-order deli meats (corned beef, brisket, salami, etc.), creamy deli slaw, potato salad, a kosher pickle and a 12 oz. soda.'

try the korean tacos at Bon Epi bakery in Diamond Jamboree plaza, quite tasty, never had the original Kogi, so I can't compare.

I just tried Kogi for the first time yesterday. I'd been wanting to try it for a long time so I'm glad I finally did.

We got the sliders, sweet chili chicken quesadilla special, short rib taco, and short rib burrito. I thought the flavors were really interesting, but I didn't actually like it that much. I give them credit for being unique, but I think I fundamentally don't like Korean food as much as you need to in order to love Kogi. Plus I'm super wimpy about spiciness and everything was too spicy for me. I think if the truck was right next to my home and there was no line, I would eat it occasionally, but I doubt if I'll ever wait an hour for it again.

The guy manning the truck was super nice. He had a smile for everyone.

I might try the Brooklyn Boy truck too! I love deli food. I think the food truck trend is a little silly but hey, I'll try anything once!

In a way, I enjoy the line as much as the food.

Actually it was kind of exciting to wait in line because of the anticipation. And we were standing behind some cool people so that was good.
