El Ruso
Where we've featured it

At El Ruso, the Sonoran-style taco truck in Boyle Heights, everything boils down to the tortilla. Made with flour that owner Walter Soto gets monthly from his hometown of Tijuana, these are the kind of chewy, translucent tortillas that make each bite its own euphoric experience. As far as El Ruso’s excellent mesquite-grilled meats go, the smoky carne asada is definitely our go-to, but as we said, with tortillas this good, they could put just about anything in the middle and we’d still be texting our friends about it on the way home. Don’t leave without getting a burrito wrapped in a sobaquera, a giant Sonoran-style tortilla and the only one of its kind in town.
