Alibi Room

5* for the tacos...what can I say... I love them.  Maybe my favorite tacos in the world and one of my top 5 foods in Los Angeles.

BUT.... 2* for the loud, crowded, and expensive bar.  Oh, and as an added benifit, you get surely bartenders to boot!

What to do?  Skip the bar and take your tacos to go!  Thats what I do now.

Kogi BBQ plus full bar equals GREATNESS!

The short rib tacos were unbelievable.  Believe the hype - the beef was that tender.  The tofu sliders were messy and bulging with filling, but also tasty.  I did not care for the quesadillas, though.  That was a bit weird.  The kimchi fries were not the best that I ever had, either.  The way they bring out food is very conducive to sharing.  

The bar is a seriously cool scene.  Even though the food takes center stage, I love that the actual bar takes up most of the real estate.  Bear in mind that there are not that many tables if you have a group.  They play cool hip hop and spent most of our time out on their little patio - which encourages mingling.  They even brought our food out here for us.  

I was jonesing for Korean-fusion food on this trip to LA, and boy did they deliver.

5 Stars for the Food Truck style food.  Really yummy and inexpensive.  Awesome at happy hour.

We tried the kogi three taco combo (I loved the short rib),  Korean spiced fries (absolutely delicious, my favorite here), and burrito.  All were pretty good.  I would definitely come back for this bar food.

Tres leches cake was disappointing.  Probably wouldn't get it again.

The place also has very limited seating and you have to wait for someone to leave and a lot of times, people just stand by there to hang out.  Bartenders were really great though.
