Alibi Room - Los Angeles

It's about time Roy Choi put up his wheels and put down some roots. Translate a food truck into bar bites, get a liquor license, and house it all in a chic lounge? Genius.

The Pacman Bowl? Not genius. A bowl full of every kind of protein sounds like a carnivore's paradise, but the meat just tastes like salt, stifled by three saltier salsas, topped with a pound of very dry shredded cheese that gives it the texture of sawdust. What a mess!

Kogi Chilaquiles? They're okay. Not genius, but definitely okay. Mole coats the chicken n' egg so you can't tell which comes first. There's more of that dreaded cheese topping tortillas with a strong salsa verde.

Not bad for bar food, not bad at all. Just stick to the tacos.
