It’s been a wild few months for the El Ruso crew, maker of some of LA’s best tortillas and tacos. Just over one year ago, Walter Soto and Julia Silva moved their trailer from Boyle Heights to Silver Lake, setting up right on Sunset Boulevard while also teasing a new second truck on social media. Since then the second setup has indeed arrived, moving from two different Arts District locations to two different Highland Park locations, though for the time being El Ruso is back to just one rig as ownership sorts out where to go next. If that weren’t enough, now Soto and Silva have decamped from their first Silver Lake spot to a space just a block away, but for very good reasons: more space, the same street frontage, and room for indoor seating, air conditioning, and a bathroom. Check out the laid-back setup below. Thankfully fans have continued to find them at their new home at 3110 W. Sunset Boulevard, and the menu and hours (11 a.m. to 11 p.m.) remain the same.
Smiles all around for this West Adams mainstay

Collaboration cupcakes from some of LA’s best
Sprinkles, the famous LA cupcake company, is hosting a run of guest female chefs over the course of March, including Brooke Williamson, LeAnn Mueller and Alison Clem of la Barbecue, and Claudette Zepeda.
