    Elote corn, Steak frites taco, and whiskey bbq taco.
    Jeremy J.

    Cool place with a comfy feel that was very busy, which is always a good sign. Our waitress was nice and attentive for how busy it was. The tacos here are unique with a garbage plate taco, steak frites taco among others. They don't skimp on the the size or fillings for the tacos which I guess warrants the higher price per taco. You shouldn't leave hungry which I love. Overall the food was good. I had the steak frites and whiskey barrel bbq taco. Both were very good and my wife had the rustic beer fry(fish) taco and mango marg taco. 2 downsides that pushed me from a 4 to a 3. We ordered the elote corn side dish. It came out as corn on the cob which is not practical for dining out given the amount of toppings. We managed to cut a bunch off and the flavor was great but a mess. The other was a takeout order that we were bringing home for our daughter. It was entirely incorrect and the items we got were about 1/2 the price of what we ordered. We didn't realize until we were home staring in the face of disappointment and refusal to eat what we delivered from our daughter. That said I would still go back, but lesson learned on the corn and takeout.

    Service was attentive, parking up in the lot behind isn't a far walk. The place is cozy and comfy enough, well lit. The food was very good, the only thing I'd pass on next time is the fish taco. The flavor was great, it was cooked perfectly but by the time I got to it...the 3rd taco, it sogged out a bit. Or next time I'll just have to eat it first.

    Spicy sober shrimp taco

    The food is delicious! The spicy sober shrimp taco is so delicious, I want it all the time. The service is a bit slow and could definitely use some work, but I know the restaurant is newer so I'm sure they are still working out some kinks. Ambiance is okay. Food is a five for sure and service is a three for now

    If you are looking for a unique dining experience I would highly recommend Rustic Taco. Our server was very helpful. She was happy to answer any questions we had about the menu and gave great recommendations. We each ordered two tacos and we were surprised by how large they were. I ordered the 3 B's Taco and Sober Spicy Shrimp Taco. The flavor combinations were strong and delivered exactly what was described in the menu. I was given a 3rd taco because the Spicy Shrimp taco delivered was not double wrapped (hard shell and soft shell) as I ordered it. I thought it was great they corrected this with a free one without me even asking for this. Our table was also given chips and salsa upon arriving. The only aspect I did not enjoy was the restroom. It was very outdated and the stall has a huge gap where you can see inside. I feel the restroom does not match the overall decor and design of the restaurant which is very clean. Bathroom gives off dive bar vibes and could use an update.

    Good service, clean restaurant, chill bar atmosphere. Tacos were delicious. I loved the variety and freshness. Wish I had one of these places where I live!

    Great service with a friendly attitude. We have come here twice within a month. Servers are always super accommodating and friendly. Not to mention the margaritas are amazing. I would say the tacos are okay. It depends on which one you get. We came here during canal days with our 8 month old son in a stroller and they were able to find us a spot with him. That alone and the margaritas will keep me coming back to this location.

    Rootstock Pork Tacos
    Danielle S.

    I tried Rustic Taco Bar at the Roc Holiday Village and got the Rootstock Pork Tacos, which also came with salsa and chips. I loved the salsa, it was fresh and had a hint of heat. The tacos themselves were just okay. The portion size was huge, I was full after just one, so you could definitely split an order (comes with two) with someone. The pork is cooked in Rootstock Original Cider but I unfortunately couldn't really taste any notes of that. The pork itself didn't taste like it had much flavoring at all. The chipotle crema was the majority flavor, which was delicious, but I was hoping for more flavor from the meat, too. They have a lot of creative combos on their menu and I would definitely return to try more.

    Great place to eat. Love the atmosphere. The staff was friendly. The food was not typical Mexican cuisine. They have a very compelling menu, and the Tuesday specials are awesome.

    This is a really cool unique place. They're sort of Mexican and that they have tacos but that's where the Mexican part ends. Their tacos are very unique. Ingredients mixed together, they come open faced so you can see everything. Bring your appetite for sure. Turns out on Tuesdays they have a musician as well. So bring your selections of old time songs or songs you want to hear someone sing.

The food was good too- I got a pork belly taco and my mom got a crispy taco. My only feedback is that the food took a really, really long time to come out. We got our tacos almost an hour after we sat down, and we didn't order appetizers. I do recommend this place if you want to eat outside in theVillage of Fairport, especially with friends!

While every restaurant has its own style, quality ingredients and careful preparation are what make great Mexican food. Unfortunately, despite its exceptional location on the Erie Canal in the charming village of Fairport, NY, this restaurant fell well short of those expectations. The queso fundido appeared to be made with inexpensive processed cheeses, which resulted in an overly oily dish. The chorizo quesadilla was disappointing as well. The chorizo tasted like a low-quality, filler-heavy product with an artificial heat rather than the rich, well-seasoned flavor you'd expect. The tacos were average but didn't stand out in any way. Service was friendly throughout the evening, but our server wasn't very familiar with the menu and couldn't answer several questions about the dishes. Despite having a reservation, the meal took nearly two hours from start to finish. Our bill came to about $60 for two adults with no alcohol, and based on the overall experience, it didn't represent a good value. The restaurant's greatest asset is unquestionably its location. Sitting along the Erie Canal is a wonderful experience, and Fairport is one of the most charming villages in the Rochester area. I genuinely hope the kitchen elevates the quality of the food to match such an exceptional setting.

    Impressed on my first visit to this restaurant! After a day of hiking 15 miles on the FLT, we…read moreneeded to refuel and recover with a drink and dinner. We decided on Bickering Twins, because can you go wrong with Mexican food and a margarita? Luckily we had no wait on a Friday evening at about 7pm. I was worried that since not many people were there it was a bad sign, but that was not the case. We were seated at a nice, sort of private high-top table near the door, which made it feel like we had privacy and our own little space. We ordered drinks, and I wimped out and went with a paloma instead of the tamarind maragarita. The paloma was great, but I'm still wondering whether I shouldn't have risked it. Our group of three decided to get chips & salsa (because why wouldn't you), and then we ordered three dishes to share. Our choices were as follows: Peruvian Ceviche, Birria Quesadilla and Chicken Enchiladas. First of all, the fact that they had ceviche and it was good just hands down made my day. It was good - I only wish there had been some corn kernels served with it. The birria quesadillas weren't what we had expected, but they were very flavorful and the juice was tasty. I Really enjoyed the enchiladas for the mix of flavors and textures. There were so many vegetables with our dishes and the sides of rice and beans were more than filling. My only complaint is that the rice was too much of a yellow rice - I prefer a white rice, but that's just personal preference. Even though we kept the menu at the table anticipating that we would want to order more, we ultimately were stuffed and the portions (while they looked small were actually quite filling!). Jose our server was kind and friendly. I would definitely come back as there are a variety of other meals I would try, and they have flights of Mezcal and Tequila that looked tempting. After a long hard day of hiking, this fabulous meal made the day. We returned to our hotel with sore legs, but our bellies full!

    Kind of had low expectations but really yummy!…read more Service was not the best and was a bit slow but food was good! Pretty large portions too. We ordered the ceviche as an appetizer which was nice and limey- perhaps too many onions and rather large pieces. We also tried the popstar cocktail which was good- quite strong. For mains we ordered the taco plate with shrimp, chicken tinga, and lengua, plantains and potatoes. I liked the chicken and shrimp tacos the best. The carnitas platter was also very good! I thought that parts of the pork were a tad on the dry side but this is quickly remedied by pairing it with the beans and guac. Now, the star of the show and the reason this review has 4 stars and not 3 is the chipotle chocolate cake. I was expecting the chipotle/pepper flavor to be completely overpowered by the chocolate cake. However, the peppery taste came through! It wasn't spicy per se but it had a very mild kick but was just noticeable enough. The texture of the cake was also great- not your typical flourless chocolate cake, more custardy and creamy almost. Overall, would recommend! Food was solid- I thought the tacos and ceviche were better than the carnitas platter. The cake was the star of the show!
