Rusty Taco: Reviews & Ratings
I stopped to treat myself to dinner for my [special anniversary]. Several people had recommended Rusty Taco but I seldom eat out. I previewed the menu online and pretty much everything sounded fantastic so I came to dine in & have a margarita, chips and queso, and try a couple tacos. I arrived to an attentive crew and my choice of tables. The music was an enjoyable '80s mix. I ordered the Philly and the Fried chicken tacos. They offered flour tortillas or corn (street not crunchy). My order arrived quickly and the first bite of each item created a fiesta in my mouth that sometimes flashed to a full body happy dance (chair version). Subsequent bites also proved thoroughly delightful. Also, the best churro I have ever had. I ate it throughout the meal, like a sopapilla and took my chips and queso home for later. A slow (Thursday, bad weather, not day) but steady stream of carryouts reassured me that Rusty Taco will be here for me next time. Because I have more tacos to try.
I just had the best taco of my life! The tropical shrimp taco was divine. David was an amazing host who went the extra mile serving us. We'll be coming to Rusty Taco regularly. Thank you for a wonderful meal.
Great place! Placed our orders upon arrival, and the wait wasn't bad at all despite us being there at dinner time on a Saturday. Staff was polite, and the food was stellar! Definitely recommend coming here.
My wife and I come here all the time. It’s our favorite place to go for margaritas and tacos! All the staff is so helpful, friendly and professional every time we come in. The environment is very nice and relaxing and we love to sit out in the porch and enjoy our margaritas. Thank you to the staff Robert, CJ, Lexi and Gustavo who helped us today and thanks to the other staff members that are off today and not sure their names. highly recommend here!
We arrived at Rusty Taco and were greeted by David who was very informative about the menu and ordering options! Saved us a lot of time! Armando, Vincent and Robert were our cooks who complemented our chips and salsa with a side of cheese dip as well! Chips and dip was amazing! All the flavorful tacos we ordered with our 10 taco combo did not disappoint! Great vibes inside, with great music which made the stay that much more comforting! Food was done in a timely manner which I was grateful for as I was on my lunch break! Only took 10 minutes or less to have us in and out!
If you're looking for a spot that delivers amazing vibes and delicious food, this is the place! The staff is incredibly respectful, making you feel right at home. And let’s not forget about the margaritas—they're simply fantastic! David and Vince go above and beyond, welcoming you with professionalism and warmth. It’s truly an experience you won’t want to miss!
My sister and I ate here for dinner about a half hour before closing time, not crowded at all and we were the last to leave. The food was good, the waiter was friendly and helpful, In explaining some of the names on the menu. Never thought about putting pineapple on a taco before... But it tasted really good!!!
