Tacos El Ruso LA

At El Ruso, a Sonoran-style taco truck that sets up shop in both Echo Park and DTLA, it all centers around one key element: the tortilla. These tortillas, crafted with flour sourced straight from the owner's hometown of Tijuana, are nothing short of extraordinary – they possess that perfect combination of chewiness and translucency that elevates every bite into a euphoric experience. Among the stellar offerings at El Ruso, the muñeco combo stands out as our unequivocal favorite. This tantalizing creation combines smoky, chopped carne asada with fiery chicharron en salsa roja, all generously tucked within one of those coveted golden tortillas. For those with an insatiable appetite, you can take it a step further by adding hearty stewed pintos, crunchy cabbage, and diced onions, resulting in a taco that's a true flavor-packed beast. And if you're lucky enough to find it on the menu that day, don't even think about leaving without indulging in a burrito, swathed in one of their signature sobaqueras – a colossal, elastic, hubcap-sized Sonoran flour tortilla that stands as a unique and unbeatable culinary treasure in town.
