Food: Flavorless feast
El Ruso's top dishes, namely Carne Asada Taco, Chile Colorado Taco, and Sobaquera Burrito, could have been epicures' delight, alas, they fall to excruciatingly mediocre flavor profiles. Their taste was largely described as bland and underwhelming, while less than vibrant freshness didn't help their cause. High prices, disappointing quality - a classic recipe for discontent.
Okay Taste
Meat quality good, but flavors simple or needing more seasoning.
Low Quality
Cabbage old, asada tough with fat, meat not freshly flavored.
Top 3 dishes at El Ruso
- 1
Carne Asada Taco 🏆
Tender, flavorful carne asada; authentic, with hand-made tortillas.
- 2
Chile Colorado Taco
Flavor explosion, very juicy, tender beef, and perfectly seasoned.
- 3
Sobaquera Burrito
Generous size, choice of meats, and satisfying taste are highlighted.
Perks: Parking pains and lackluster service
Experiences outside of the unappealing taste were no different. Parking your car near El Ruso is a jigsaw. And while you might expect some welcome relief once inside, their service proves to be as stale as their old cabbage. Rude staff and long waits turn an ordinary visit into an ordeal.
Bad Service
Some staff deemed rude, unfriendly, service sometimes perceived as slow.
