El Ruso is formerly a taco truck is now at a set restaurant location on Ventura Blvd in Studio City a little west of Lankershirm. Inside there's a small bar there's servers beer and margaritas, there's also the ordering kiosk inside. They have a nice spacious outdoor patio. Their tacos are fantastic they're made with beans and cheese you can opt out of either on the kiosks. The red & avocado salsas really add a nice kick to their food as well. They have a set menu of what you can order, $17 felt pricey for three tacos but the tacos are pretty big and really good quality. read more

I'm so sorry to have to leave a bad review, and hopefully it will motivate the owners to make the necessary changes. I so badly wanted a great taqueria in my neighborhood, and know how hard it is to start a small business. I can't imagine how expensive the lease is here, and you know it is personally guaranteed by the owners. So fingers crossed that things will change here soon. That being said, it took forever to get our food, even though it was not crowded. When we brought it to our table it was soggy. As if the famous homemade tortillas had been sitting in a steamer. A carne asada taco is a simple thing to make. The quality of the ingredients is what makes them so good. The flavor was not horrible, but it was so soggy that I couldn't help but think that white boy me could have gone back there and made one that tasted a lot better. I really hope they get ahold of this now, and make the changes needed for me to give them a five star revue next time. read more

It breaks my heart to write a bad review about this restaurant, because I know how hard it is to open a restaurant in LA, I love the success stories of Mexicans opening great taco spots all over the city, etc, but tonight, I had one of the most underwhelming and disappointing meals I've had in my life. I remember the tacos, when they used to be a taco truck, were not bad, I actually liked them, but that's in the past. The restaurant organization is all over the place and makes NO sense; ordering from a kiosk, then you go and sit down, they call you on a loudspeaker when your order is ready, the food is served in a messy to go box ????? And finally when you get to the product is bland, not to mentioned I ordered a $20 taco that was cold and COMPLETELY TASTELESS, and don't even get me started with the SALSAS... they are total trash.. the salsas play a HUGE place in taco restaurants/taco trucks if the salsas suck, don't bother with the rest. I also paid an involuntary 15% of "service charge" when the last thing you will receive there is SERVICE. So disappointing, I'm sorry but this place won't last only because their tortillas are good. Sad, I wanted this place to be fantastic and it's definitely not. I ordered: 3 tacos combo : chicharron (tasteless) chile relleno (also tasteless and the presentation was horrible) asada (meh) 1 rib taco worst $20 ever spent My girl ordered asada and chorizo, chorizo being the best of them. Horchata for $7 in a micro bottle, terrible cheap presentation Salsas: all of them are terrible, but the Salsa Verde was the worst of all.. it tasted even a little sweet? Wtf..?? read more

Specifically for their Ventura brick and mortar location Dry, bland, and as if they've never run food service before. In a city built on a tradition of taco/mexican excellence, and especially for a company that has had food trucks up and running, it's a bit of a surprise how poorly it's run and how bland things taste. Complete disorganization of orders coming out, people sitting obviously frustrated. The cooks on the line are throwing different meats together with bare hands and into messy serving boxes. Also, for a fully self-service operation, you've got some cajones putting on an auto-charge of 15% on every order. If you need to raise the already high prices to account for the auto-tip, then do so, but one person having to order their own meal at a digital kiosk and pick up as if it's your food truck is not a auto gratuity scenario (it'd be another thing for groups of 5 or more). Normally wouldn't come in this hard on new businesses, but you have other locations and - especially for the quality, taste of food - you should know better. read more

El Ruso is the taco you've been looking for! El Ruso has just taken over a brick and mortar spot in Studio City - they were previously a truck. This spot is GREAT. The restaurant has a really nice outdoor area and vibrant colors all over. The smell of the food is intoxicating as you approach. I have to say this spot should not be missed. I had the Carne Asada Beef Taco, Al Pastor Pork Taco, and the Birria Taco and they were all delish. I also had margaritas as they offered a Happy Hour special, 2 for $18. I've been on the hunt for great tacos and El Ruso has definitely scratched that itch! Can't wait to go back. Definitely check this place out! read more

I first tried this place when it was in an empty lot by the old Sears building . Since then I followed them to Silver Lake and now Universal Studios location. Amazing Sonora style tacos. The great quality has always been the same independent of the location changes. It's a lot longer drive now but way worth it. Salsa bar is immaculate and they also have full alcohol bar service . read more

El Ruso - 3 tacos , chile colorado , chicharrron, and al pastor . - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I paid $75 for 2 asada, 2 pastor, 1 chile colorado, 1 fish, 2 happy hour margaritas and 1 horchata + 15% service fee. I did not feel like I had an experience worth $75... the food was served in takeout boxes. The tacos were a good size, the meat was fine but neither the asada or pastor particularly stood out to me. The fish taco was great and I would definitely order it again but that's about it. The salsas were bad... avocado salsa was super bland as was the other green one, and then the red one was too spicy to have any real flavor. The margaritas were basically just iced margarita mix with a breath of tequila... very disappointing. The mandatory 15% service fee feels especially egregious when there's no service at all. Cute patio though. read more

El Ruso - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A cool different style of a casual restaurant. What looks like what once was a full service restaurant is now a more fast casual style with minimal employees, bright colors, and no waiter service. You order at a kiosk and there isn't really anybody to answer any questions. They do have happy hour specials till 6 PM that are five dollars to their full bar. The menu has specials that do change. There is a rather large self service salsa bar. A lot of this restaurant is actually self service. Pricing is fair, but I do not see a way to order a single taco. Tortillas are made without any lard. Food is solid. Would definitely come back again/more regularly. Parking shouldn't be an issue as there's street parking and a lot across the street. read more

It's a NO for me dogg but I can why people like this place. Apparently they used to be a food truck and now have this location. Good for them. As far as the food, it was ok. Ordered 2 asada tacos and some sort of shredded beef taco with red sauce that I can't remember the name of ($21) I like the shredded beef taco but that's about it. The reason for low rating is the hygiene of this place. The chef tasting the meat in front of me, flies flying everywhere and all on the food, no one is wearing gloves. I wanted to give this place a try because it's local and I've been craving a good taco spot since the old roadside left, but nah. Very forgettable experience and won't be back read more

It's no secret I love a good taco. Meat wrapped in a floury blanket? Besides being the best description of my body, it's also one of my favorite things to eat. So when I heard Roadside Tacos had partnered with El Ruso, I immediately drove my fat ass from Alhambra to Studio City to see what all the hype was about. By now, every LA foodie knows the El Ruso origin story. Parking lot. Food truck. Brick-and-mortar. The American Dream, but with tortillas. I'd seen countless Instagram videos of meat smoking over hot coals, giant ribeye steaks getting slapped onto fresh tortillas, and influencers taking one bite before looking like they'd just seen God. I ordered the ribeye, chicken, al pastor, chile colorado, and carne asada tacos. While I waited, I realized one thing: if you sit anywhere near the grill, you're leaving smelling like you spent the afternoon tending a campfire. Not necessarily a bad thing, just know your clothes are coming home medium rare. There's also a DIY salsa bar with onions, cilantro, pineapple, multiple salsas, pickled vegetables, and more. It had a constant line of people making repeat trips. I thought, This must be incredible. You pick your tacos up right next to the grill, so I grabbed my tray and loaded up on toppings... but I kept them on the side. After all those Instagram videos of people eating the tacos completely plain, I wanted the authentic experience. And... I'm just not that brave. The ribeye taco is essentially a giant slab of steak sitting on a tortilla. Unfortunately, a good chunk of that slab was fat. Not marbling. Fat. Like, am I supposed to eat this? Maybe that's completely authentic, and maybe I'm exposing myself as an Irish guy who trims every steak before eating it, but I just couldn't get past it. Why not trim it beforehand and give me a taco that's 100% edible? The chile colorado ended up being my favorite. Tender stewed beef in a rich red sauce. Extremely messy, but delicious. The al pastor was fine. The carne asada was okay. The chicken... let's just say I wouldn't order it again. Here's my biggest issue, though. Everything was surprisingly... flavorless. Even the salsas lacked punch. It honestly felt like everyone at the salsa bar was desperately searching for the flavor that never quite showed up. I thought maybe I was losing my mind, so I asked three different groups eating nearby what they thought. Every one of them said some version of, "Yeah... it's kind of bland." Maybe it was just an off night. Restaurants have those. The space itself is great. It's open, lively, has plenty of TVs for sports, and I genuinely love the El Ruso success story. I wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to the hype for me. One other thing worth mentioning: I didn't see a tipping option because there's an automatic 15% service charge added to every bill. I personally don't mind that at all, but it's worth knowing since this isn't exactly a cheap meal. Five tacos and a soda came out to about $52. Will I go back? Probably. One disappointing meal isn't enough for me to completely write a place off, especially one with this much buzz. I'm hoping I simply caught them on an off night because I'd genuinely love to change my mind. read more

I rarely write yelp reviews but this place was terrible. The old roadside taco restaurant had much more delicious tacos and more variety. This new version is bland bland bland. Paid $86 for probably the worst food I've eaten in a LONG while. Especially the fish taco, it was HARD af and the fish inside was dry and without any flavor. Won't be back and it's a shame bc we live down the street and used to love walking down to roadside taco when it was here read more

Been wanting to check out this spot for a while. I follow them on instagram and they posted that they were going to be at the los Feliz location until 8pm. I decided to drive out there from Highland Park to try it out. It was a mission, from HLP but so worth it. No line when I arrived. I placed my order and my food was ready right away. I got the carne asada burrito. It was $17 or so -- and massive. I really love their home made tortillas and the amount of cheese they put in it. It was also stacked with lots of carne. I don't think I would go out of my way to go there again, but def worth stopping by if I'm in the area and they are open. read more

Went to the new location in the previous Roadside Taco spot. Parking on Ventura Blvd can be a little challenging but wasn't that bad. You can order from 2 kiosks or at the bar. Menu included tacos and burritos. They have beer and margaritas ($13h which are freshly made. You can specify skinny or spicy or regular for your margarita. They are cooking the meat on a grill outside and they will call your number when it is ready (don't forget to print your receipt if you use the kiosk!) they have a nice salsa/toppings bar that has your cabbage, pickled and fresh onions, cilantro, radishes, limes, salsas. They are currently serving the food in cardboard boxes that have roadside tacos logo on them. There are large TVs over the bar where you can watch the Dodger game. Shady and non-shaded spots outside with some indoor seating (but is still open to the outside). Overall we liked it. We had one of almost all the types of tacos (asada, pollo, pastor, ribeye, chile colorado). The tacos come with a smear of refried beans on the tortilla and a little bit of melted cheese (you can say no beans or no cheese when you order). The ribeye is a special order and slightly more money. Note that they include a mandatory 15% service charge on the bill and specify "no tipping". This is written on the menu so you are aware. But they also have jars that say "tips" at the bar. They also have a freezer with paletas (popsicles) in there of various flavors that looked great although we did not get one. read more

Just tried their new restaurant in Studio City, where Roadside Taco used to be, and unfortunately, it was pretty disappointing. I'm genuinely sorry to leave a review like this, but I feel like it's worth sharing. The food is wayyyy overpriced and, unfortunately, not very good. The salsa bar was very messy and clearly not well managed, and they're still using Roadside Taco-branded plates, cups, and napkins! LMAO In my opinion, that feels pretty amateur for a brand-new restaurant. Maybe they know how to run a food truck, but they don't seem quite ready to run a full-service restaurant. The one positive thing I can say is that I really liked their homemade tortillas. Those were genuinely good. EVERYTHING ELSE? I give it a D- read more

What a disappointment. The kiosk ordering system is so strange. Like why is it tucked in back where the line runs into the bar. The prices are outrageous. Like OUTRAGEOUS. We walked in confused and disoriented and the staff was NOT friendly. Haha good luck, guys. We left without ordering. Another party also left without ordering after perusing their insanely priced and weirdly restrictive menu. I imagine 50+ people come in and look at that menu and leave without ordering per day. And all of that after it took us 20 minutes to find a place to park. Naw, this place is a no for me. read more

Was excited to check this place out, it took over the old Roadside Tacos spot on Ventura. Ordering is a whole thing. You order from a kiosk inside, and you can't get single tacos unless it's one of their three "premium" options. Otherwise you're locked into ordering two or three at a time. I got two shrimp tacos and a fish taco. They were fine, homemade flour tortillas were a nice touch. The salsa bar looked impressive but everything on it tasted flat. Too hot and smoky to sit outside, and the inside didn't have much of a vibe either. A couple people in my group got margaritas and said they tasted like Costco mix. $34 for three tacos and a sparkling water, and they still tack on a mandatory 15% service fee even though you order and pick up the food yourself. That part really got me. Not terrible, just not worth it. Won't be back. read more

Authentic and delicious Sonoran style Mexican food made with quality ingredients and served in a pleasant environment. I loved the chili Colorado burrito and chile relleno taco, read more

tl;dr the signature mesquite-grilled carne asada and thoughtfully sourced flour tortillas combine into a disappointingly inconsistent and mostly forgettable taco Sonoran-style tacos, featuring handmade flour tortillas and mesquite wood-fired meats, are a less common taco variety in Los Angeles. But a few purveyors of this regional delicacy are among LA's most highly rated taquerias. Enter El Ruso, an Echo Park taco truck that has been featured heavily in the media, from Taco Chronicles on Netflix to nearly every "best of LA" list. The all-black food truck is parked outside a Walgreens on a busy stretch of Sunset. Underneath its crimson, stag-laden logo, all-caps block letters promise a meal of "pura calidad!!" A handful of bright red plastic stools line the adjacent sidewalk. The hum of the truck's generator blends with the rush of traffic. My partner and I arrived for weekday lunch and were the only customers. Service was quick, but the vacancy of fellow patrons was deafeningly palpable. We opted to share the signature Taco de Carne with Carne Asada and all the requisite fixings. The two-hander, five-biter taco was larger than expected and piping hot. However, the definitive positives ended there. The bites ranged inconsistently from "eh" to eyebrow-raisingly good, and the chewy, good-not-great flour tortilla just wasn't particularly memorable. At $4.75 for a single, hefty taco, El Ruso isn't the worst deal. However, the best word to describe my experience at El Ruso is "underwhelming". To me, El Ruso didn't live up to the hype, and my first El Ruso taco will likely be last. read more

El Ruso - Taco de Carne Asada - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I NEVER take time to write bad reviews but my husband and I actually laughed the whole drive home from here about how shocked we were by how bland and soggy the food was. We tried shrimp tacos and the shrimp seemed like it was microwaved from frozen with 0 seasoning, two tacos came in one box, and it was all so wet that the tortillas had basically fused together. The salsas didn't taste like anything and there wasn't light at the salsa bar to see what you were getting. We were shocked to learn from reviews on here about the 15% surcharge also, which we confirmed on the credit card bill. You order at a kiosk and get the food yourself so that doesn't make any sense to us. My husband was extra disappointed because he had food from their truck previously and had a great experience. The prices are also astronomical, offensively so considering the low quality of the food. Sorry to say, but I wouldn't recommend at all. I hope this is just a learning curve as they settle into the brick and mortar space, but we won't be back to find out. read more

Very wet tacos, which I def appreciate! Just make sure you're wearing clothes you don't mind some drip on. The red salsa is spicy! Parking is metered/street/Gelson's parking, but street parking is def doable. Appreciate the limes and cucumbers included in the order and the delightfully soft tortilla. Not much ambience, though they have a few plastic stools to sit on and the truck is pretty well lit compared to the street. read more

Maybe the food truck was better? I sure hope it was, because I don't understand the hype. Our food just wasn't good, it was quite bad. The tacos were incredibly bland and had zero flavor. I wish it wasn't so, but the food was a huge disappointment. read more

Subpar food and absolutely no service. It's like they stuck a food truck in the back and the computers take your order. When I got home, I noticed two of the items on my order were missing. They don't pick up their phone or return emails stay away! You've been warned. read more

I'm not sure why some people like this spot. This place is overpriced, has bad hospitality and bland food. At least if I'm paying a service fee/gratuity I would expect some sort of good service and better attitudes. I'd rather give my money to the street tacos where there is better service and the meat isn't chewy and flavorless. Don't waste your time or money here! read more

Food was good, as usually. I have been a regular since Boyle Heights. They are getting their sea legs, little things need work. Ordering and flow, drinks etc. Criticizing a restaurant that opened 2 weeks ago isn't fair. I will be back in a month or 2, give them a chance to smooth out the little things. Give them a more thorough review. They are good people and I know they will figure it out. read more

I had such high hopes, but was let down. The place is very smokey, and for our family it didn't hit the mark. No chips. No guacamole. Drinks not great. My burrito carne asada lets say was very chewy. read more

RIP the old Roadside Taco. The vibes and playlist are good but the new El Ruso food has no fun taco options, and the meats are all bland and flavorless. Also pretty pricey. The tortillas are great. Friends and I would buy just the tortillas next time if we could! read more

Taco truck parked in a busy stretch of Sunset Blvd in Echo Park. I've been wanting to come here because I heard about their handmade tortillas. I came here specifically for the Chile Colorado Taco It definitely did not disappoint. A warm delicate, chewy tortilla that was strong enough to hold up the well seasoned and stew like meat. Add the lime squeeze for a little more acidity and it was a fine meal. I came here late afternoon / early evening so it was pretty chill around the truck. read more

What took me so long to try El Ruso! Pinching myself for not coming here sooner, but better late then never. El Ruso is known for Handmade Artisanal Sonoran FLOUR Tortillas and now serving BLUE CORN tortillas! El Ruso has been featured on : Netflix, LA Time, /Bon Appetite magazine, Food & Wine, LA Taco/Eater, The Infatuation. I thought it was perhaps "hype" , but my trusted foodie friends recommended El Ruso, so off I went. We ordered: -Chile Colorado Taco: I had a bite, and it was stellar! Order it! 5/5 rating! -Chicken Taco con todo (with fixins): Unbelievable good! Normally I don't order chicken tacos. This was my favorite! 5/5 rating! -Carne Asada Taco con todo (with everything): He loved it. I thought it needed more salt(?). Otherwise decent char taste. 4/5 rating. Chile Relleno Burrito con todo : get it plain or with everything. Very very good! Next time I will add meat. 5/5 rating. Bean n Cheese Burrito: Skip. Good but not great or vegetarian. They use whole beans vs mashed re- fried beans. Good taste but the texture is off. 3/5 rating. SALSA: Fresh Red chili of some sort and SPICY! Ask for extra they skimpy, but not needed as the tacos are so flavorful. 5/5 rating! Am going back later soon (today/or the weekend) , lol! It's that good! Cash and Credit Card accepted. Parking in the Walgreens/Lassen's Market parking lot. read more

I give up! What kind of business are they running? Great tacos but...Last year for months their site said their truck was on Sunset and Maltman. I checked for months. Nothing there. Now their site says the truck is on Hillhurst by Albertson's, open 4:00. I went yesterday and the truck was closed at 4:30. Today, Saturday, the site says "open at 4". I drive over, walk several blocks...nothing. No truck at all. So I go to Guac Daddy on Vermont. I'd like to support this business but this is absurd. I'll hunt for other tacos. Or just go to Yuca's more. read more

El Ruso doesn't mess around. They make some dang good tacos. This truck is found in Echo Park in front of Lassen's. The tacos were really good. My family can be kind of picky with food and everyone agreed the food was excellent. The prices here are a bit more expensive than your typical taco truck, but they are worth the money. Like everyone said, the Carne Asada was the best. Really good! I also ordered a Chicharron and I don't remember what else I ordered, but I asked for the most popular tacos they sell. I also ordered a burrito for my son and it was massive. Great food! I'll be back! read more

El Ruso posts up in a parking lot of a car wash with outdoor seating under hipster lights on Sunset north of Silver Lake Boulevard. Parking is difficult in this neighborhood, but fortunately, there are some spots in the lot for customers. They are known for their Sonoran-style tacos and sobaqueras wrapped in flour tortillas. The tacos are huge on a foundation of house-made flour tortillas. The tortillas are so delicious, and they were all I thought about while eating. The flour tortillas are supple and almost as tasty as pastry dough. They stand up to all the fillings, and you'll want to get the tacos with everything. The beans and cheese are soft and gooey. The cabbage and pink pickled onions add a cool crunch. The onions have some oregano for an occasional flavor burst. The taco de asada has nicely diced steak - tender with a little connective tissue. It's easy to chew, and the flavor is beefy. The carne asada is the best taco filling here. The avocado salsa and salsa roja provide a hint of heat. The taco de chile colorado is filled with red stewed shredded beef. The meat is soft and mild in flavor. read more

El Ruso - A couple tacos de asada and a taco de chile colorado - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I wanted to try some tacos with flour tortillas, similar to the ones I've had in Mexicali and Sonora, but this place was disappointing. The lady working there was alone, seemed unhappy, and was chewing gum. I tried to be nice to her, but something told me to head to the other taco truck that looked busier. Nevertheless, I decided to give this one a chance and ordered one taco de asada and one taco de chicharrón, both with all the toppings. Unfortunately, I was not satisfied; they were just okay for me. It seemed like the tortilla and meat had been sitting out for a couple of hours. After all the rave reviews from Taco Chronicles, I probably won't be coming back to El Ruso. I'd rather wait to visit an asadero in Mexicali or Sonora instead. This taco joint seems to cater mostly to its hipster clientele. read more

One of my favorite tacos in LA! The truck is parked in the same lot as a carwash. Parking is a bit difficult, but that's the case with a lot of spots in this area! I usually get the chile colorado mixed with the carne asada. It's so good! The meat is flavorful and spicy. Personally, I don't like beans so I usually ask for it without the beans. However, a lot of folks advise you to try it with the beans! The flour tortilla here really takes it up to the next level. Make sure you asked for some pickled onions! The tacos are pricey, but 2 will put me over the edge hahaha. I would highly recommend stopping by this spot if you want some sonoran style tacos! read more

El Ruso - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of my favorite taco spots in LA. These are Sonoran-style flour tortilla tacos served out of a taco truck on Sunset Blvd in Silver Lake, just across the street from All Day Baby and Spoon & Pork. They recently moved here from Boyle Heights, and they've extended their hours, greatly increasing their accessibility. There's usually at least four kinds of tacos available each day. I've had the asada, birria, chorizo, pollo, adobada, mole and chile colorado tacos, they're all good, my faves being the adobada and chile colorado. There are occasional specials like ahuja/costillo (ribs) tacos, and sobaqueros, which are like burritos. And in the past they occasionally offered corn tortillas. The tacos are larger than most, cost over $3.50 each with beans and cheese another 25¢ each, and it's all completely worth it. The handmade flour tortillas are fantastic, supple and stretchy and not too thick. For drinks they have horchata and a cooler full of sodas and water. There's a covered patio for dining onsite. They provide a baggie with sauces, onions, cilantro and radishes, which is much safer than having a communal table where everyone uses the same ladles to help themselves. There's hand sanitizer if you need it. Keep an eye on their Instagram for their schedule and any specials. This is truly one of the best taco stands in LA. read more

My cousin selected the dinner spot after the All-Star game over the weekend last weekend! We found this as the top rated taco place in the Silver Lake area that was closest to the dodger Stadium For out of towners we couldn't find it, but when we parked we noticed it was a truck or a trailer that was serving these bomb tacos! I ordered the chicharron, asada - chicarron mix and something else! my cousin got a burrito! Their tacos were on point! They were on flour tortillas which street tacos don't normally come on, and the chicharron had this tomato base flavor that totally hit the spot! usually street tacos come with two corn tortillas which fill me up very quickly! but these flour tortillas plus their bomb meat hit the spot and satisfied my cravings! Looking forward to coming here on the next go round! read more

I don't know what the buzz is about. Basic. Nothing special at all. The taco I ordered (beans and "cheese") had solid black burned cheese. I had to ask for a new one. And it's really just a tortilla full of beans. Not exciting. The "caramelo" is a quesadilla? (The woman who took my order is the one who told me it is basically a quesadilla). But why is it called a caramelo? And it's just the same basic beans again and melted cheese. I wouldn't go here again at all. The sauces it is served with are spicy...the red one is anyway. The other is like a puréed avocado. Not my cup of tea. Also served with small bags of onions and radishes. Luckily, it's not expensive. But unluckily, it's not noteworthy. Pass. read more
