EL RUSO ~ STUDIO CITY
Walter Soto, the chef made famous for his Sonoran food truck El Ruso on L.A.’s streets and Netflix’s Taco Chronicles, is opening a brick-and-mortar location of El Ruso next Wednesday, July 22, in Studio City, replacing Roadside Taco at the same address and under the same owners.
Soto tells me he’ll be serving his full menu, so you’ll be able to consistently eat his carne en chile colorado, carne asada, chicharrón en salsa roja, adobada, birria de res, and more in burritos, caramelos, and tacos on handmade flour tortillas, only “con mas alcohol,” as Soto says, since the restaurant has a liquor license.
