El Ruso, an award-winning taco vendor known for its fresh flour tortillas and grilled meats, has opened its first brick-and-mortar restaurant in Studio City after years of operating as a street stand. Founded by Walter Soto and Julia Silva, the restaurant offers a permanent location with a large patio and indoor bar, allowing them to serve approximately 150 guests and offer several permanent menu items. The move from street vending was motivated by the desire for stability, as Soto faced high parking tickets and competition issues with other vendors. The new space also features a full liquor license and expanded menu options, with prices slightly increased to offset rising ingredient and operational costs.
