The Gastrobus shall rove no more, but don't worry, it's not going away. Owners Antonio and Lana Medina are trading in their bright yellow food truck for a permanent spot on Hillhurst in Los Feliz called Gastronomico, in the former Sis Mediterranean Food space.

BREAD & HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD w goat cheese, majoram & lemon, CRAB & CORN BEIGNETS w tomato, pickled onions & cilantro
RIB-EYE STEAK w grilled onion, bordelaise & thyme, POT OF LENTILS w summer squash, cilantro & chives

PEACH&WAFFLE w spiced rum ice cream & caramel. ROCKY ROADS almond cake, fat-free dark chocolate sorbet & homemade marshmallow
On Monday, Gastronomico Tweeted: "Keep ur eyes open, we might b open before the end of this month..."
