Why Komodo

The Komodo Dragons in Indonesia is the largest lizard species in the world. They are rare endangered species that are highly lethal. However, they have a weak sense of hearing and sight, so they go about the world tasting their surroundings using their powerful sense of taste. Meanwhile, the Komodo truck is the largest truck roaming around in LA.

We believe in being adventurous with our flavors; if it takes combining unique and unlikely ingredients together to achieve the ideal composition- we will. We only use high quality ingredients and our food is made fresh with every order- a rare mantra amongst taco trucks out there. We are not your average taco truck and we promise to win you over with every bite. Komodo stands for Dangerously Good Food and we don’t mean that lightly.
