NYC Baja Fresh Says Kogi Tacos Could Happen
It looks like my hope of having knock off “kogi tacos” come to Baja Fresh here in New York is not just a pipe dream. One of the reps from the NYC Baja Fresh location responded to our Tuesday story with this info: “[The Kogi Menu is] currently being tested in one corporate location in Irvine, CA. However, this location is actually our prototype, same menu style, etc… So it is possible that we could be serving them soon, but I cannot confirm. I am looking into a more definite time frame, etc. Also, I highly doubt the word kogi is trademarked, just as Long John Silver’s is now selling Baja Tacos…” Yeah, but Baja Fresh didn’t invent the baja style taco. The Kogi BBQ Truck did invent this. Either way, I hope it happens. KOREAN TACOS IN MIDTOWN OR BUST!!!

@Zach – just a correction on your prior post on this.. Kogi in Korean means “meat” not beef. You can have Pork Kogi. Not that it really matters, but thought I would mention it.

“co-owner Eddie Chen, who hopes to open at least 10 branches in the next few years, including an outpost on Broadway between 40th and 41st streets, by late August.”
