My husband and I stopped in after a busy day of shopping and we are so glad we stumbled across this place! We ordered the chips and queso, which were just ok (especially here in Abq) but the tacos were great! the rusty taco was our favorite!! The salsas offered were fabulous, especially the habanero one! Service was great and we'll definitely be coming back. read more

This was my first time ordering this nasty food. I ordered from DoorDash. I ATTEMPTED to get the steak nachos and this is what I got!!! A nasty, soggy what I am assuming is a "taco" but it looks more like a lazy fajita. I WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK. All of this for $12 . I guess all out to eat is going out the window since nowhere can get a damn order correct. Anyway I'm not sure how other ppl eat tacos but I doubt it's this soggy. IM JUST GOING TO STICK TO CASA TACO!!! Since they know how to get my orders correct. read more

Delicious tacos!!! Great price and not skimpy on the fillings!! Id eat them every time I had a taco craving !!!

Love the cauliflower tacos with bbq and pineapple! So good and original. Looks like a fun patio too, but we've only done takeout. read more

It's never a wrong time for tacos. The size of these tacos are a little larger than your normal street taco and they are really filling. The brisket tacos are amazing. The meat is tender. The fried shrimp taco was another favorite. Their selection of salsa really compliments the tacos and tastes extremely fresh. Their queso is very tasty and they give you a hot bag of homemade chips along with it. Their chips are on the next level. I couldn't stop eating them. I couldn't wait to "taco" 'bout this place. Yum. read more

Awesome food and clean environment. This will be a great spot to eat during summer when they open the big garage door to open it up to outside. I will return for more! Note: order 2-3 tacos. I usually eat 4-5 at home but I got full off of 3. Also, try the Carne Asada... you'll thank me later Update: new visit on 3/16 for breakfast/lunch. Update: Here yet again, 4/19. I finally came when the garage door is opened and it feels amazing! Love this place. Thanks for a great lunch, Staff. read more

My son wanted Blaze Pizza and my daughter couldn't pass up the smell from Rusty's so she skipped pizza and ordered two #13s. Ground beef was well flavored. I wish they offered a hard shell corn tortilla option but she was satisfied with a soft shell. Employees were very friendly. I love that there are so many meat options that my whole family can find something. I double like that they offer beer, some of which are local draft beers. I also appreciate that I can order tacos without sides that I never eat. read more

Not going to lie, first impression of the restaurant was not good. I thought the tacos were going to suck, maybe because it looks like a chain restaurant (not actually sure if it is or not), but the tacos were bomb. I ordered a vegan friendly, black bean taco and it was so good. I also got a grilled fish taco. They were not shy with the amount of fish and also did not overload it with too much cabbage. Salsa is not very spicy and probably more like juera salsa, but I digged it (coming from a juera)! Margaritas aren't bad, could've used less ice and more drank, but will tell them next time (hehe)! I can't wait to return to try the many other options of tacos and other menu items. (Bonus, it is right next to Menchie's, also one of my favorite fro yo shops). read more

OMGOSH I may never make tacos again! This place is amazing!!! Best tacos in the 505. Great atmosphere, food, drinks, service. Very clean, TV with games, races, or movies for you to enjoy. Excellent salsa, queso, and guacamole. You can't go wrong dining here. Breakfast tacos as well, gluten free options available too. You won't be disappointed read more

I hadn't ate all day and I was starving so we at here last night and I had the brisket tacos when I got home I started to feel nauseated and it kept getting worse, I couldn't shake the feeling. All of sudden I was vomiting violently all night, I could smell the cheese and the grease that was on that taco. Omg making sick now. I was sooo very very sick then the stomach cramping and among others things that began to happen. I have never been this sick in my entire life, I have a strong stomach but this was ridiculous. Not to mention we are leaving town today and I'm in no shape to go no where but I have to. Someone needs to take a look at the cheese or meat. I won't be back again sorry but I almost went to the emergency room I'm so sick. This happened around 7:00 pm I also had the Rusty Taco as well. read more

I really like this place. There are so many taco options and everyone that I have had there have been delicious. The shrimp tacos fried or grill and great. The chips and queso and really good too. I really like the team fave taco with fried chicken and bacon and queso. The atmosphere is a little loud, but it's a great casual place. The found is always good and they get it to you very quickly! read more

Came here for lunch with a friend. You order at the counter and then choose a seat inside or under the covered patio and the staff brings your food to you. There is a self serve condiment area that includes different types of salsas. I ordered 3 tacos (fried fish, chicken and brisket). My favorite was the fried fish, followed by the brisket and then the chicken. The chicken lacking in seasoning was really my only complaint. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. I'm not sure if I'll be back yet. read more

Had three tacos and some beer. Food was very good no complaints service was excellent Kyle was our waiter he did a great job.

Wonderful in theory but I find myself rather confused. There is small buffer zone for patrons to stand in line to order, otherwise you catch yourself awkwardly waiting with one foot indoor and one foot out or too closely into someone's personal space. The menu in it itself has its own set of complexities. I wish there were combos that were offered instead of having to find each individual item. There is one employee in charge of sides and beverages and also bussing tables which seems inefficient for a busy night and I only say that because it took my margarita considerably longer to come out than all of our food. What saved this review was the tacos. The entire reason we came here. The spicy fried chicken taco warms the heart and the Texican is a cult favorite with beef, cheese, lettuce and tomato and lots of different salsas to choose from. Perhaps a week night is best to visit. read more

I was really hungry and kept seeing this new place about to open. Went in to get some tacos. Im a taco fanatic so i set a very high standard. Didnt know what to expect... It was TacoLicious!! read more

Exactly what Albuquerque needed! What an incredible selection of tacos! My favorite are the fish and shrimp tacos but I love how I can have breakfast tacos all day too! read more

I have not been to the restaurant yet. I was waiting for the new one on Coors to open when the virus delayed my visit. Is that location open yet? read more

Pretty damn good for a taco chain! I've been avoiding this place because of that fact...chain their food won't be good. Wrong! I had the Baja shrimp taco and the grilled fish taco and mmmmmm Baby were they yummy in my tummy!! They give you chips and salsa for free with the meal which was awesome. For the most part the place looked clean but I wasn't crazy about the set up of the soda station. Not sure why but it just makes the restaurant look more crowded and appear dirty because it gets messy quick. I would also recommend for the outdoor seating in this hot town some misters? Might get more customers to eat on the patio in 95+ weather. Definitely going back to a Rusty's in the future! read more

Don't go to this place!!! Cold meat in the taco. Feels like leftover. Terrible service too. We ordered frozen watermelon margaritas but the machine was down so they served it over rock without asking us. read more

This place is plain awesome! I've been in ABQ for two days and have already been here twice. Fresh ingredients. An amazing selection. Great customer service. If you like tacos you'll love the Rusty Taco. read more

Wow!! I'm not much of a taco person but I took my kids here because they love tacos. I have to say the Rusty Taco food is incredible. The prices are awesome too. We ordered the chips and guacamole as well and we were not charged an arm and a leg. The chips are y.u.m.m.y. Do you deliver (both breakfast and lunch)? If so, I'm in sales and will use you regularly. read more

I love all the choices of meats at Rusty's. The mushroom tacos were my favorite. Also, a great selection of salsa. They even have churros! The staff is nice and friendly. Taco places are a dime a dozen but this place is bit above average. Lots of selection of tacos for all tastes, that's what attracted me and I was not disappointed. I will return when I'm in town. read more

In our previous experience we didnt get to try the tacos because of the order mess up. This weekend we finally got to try their vegetarian tacos. I would 100% recommend these tacos anytime. The black bean taco tasted fantastic. I would surely anyday comeback for their tacos. A good value for money. For 2.25$ you get a decent sized tasty taco. Great work! read more

I was a bit hesitant to come because I thought it was a mall "food court" type location- I was pleasantly wrong. As I am VERY glad we went the tacos we great! They had unique flavors that were delicious and the chips and salsa were great as well. The employees were very friendly and helpful! It was a good choice, we would definitely go back! read more

So I get my octane boost off of quality Mexican food, especially good taqueria-style tacos. Saw this place while up in ABQ and was initially worried it might be expensive. It is after all in Uptown. Kidding. Had steak fajita, chicken fajita, Asada taco, and chips with queso... all for $18! Portions are generous and the food is epic. So happy I gave it a try. Looks like I found my new go-to place when I come to town each month! Salsa Roja and habanero salsas are extremely delicious. read more

This place has some seriously good tacos! Solid choice that you won't regret. I really feel like anyone can make street tacos these days, but it takes the right combinations, quantities, and quality to really nail them these days and while these weren't the best I've ever had, they were pretty far up there! I had the carne asada, green Chile chicken, and roasted pork tacos with chips and salsa. As I mentioned before, tacos were solid (green Chile chicken was a little bland to me, but still better than most) but the real standout was the rojo salsa! It had pretty good depth and was more than the run-of-the-mill house salsa, but not over the top. Overall, hit this up if you've got a taco cravin'! read more

This place is fantastic. I love a resturaunt where I can feed my entire family and get a beer for less than $50. My children have dietary restrictions and there is something for everyone here. We've become weekly visitors to this awesome spot. read more

Looking for a good place for unique tacos and think it was a good choice. More heat than was expecting but great flavors! Marg is good to taper the heat. Good variety of taco options. Will be back. read more

Wanted to try a new place, the food was good but they kept getting our order wrong. Would have liked the tacos fuller with meat.

Good local food for cheap, 3$ tacos and 3$ beer. Good for date night it just to pop in and get some things good to eat :) read more

Rusty Taco - Delish, pulled 0rok and spicy chicken tacos. The chips and queso are really good with some local beer on tap. New fave. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Rusty Taco is a welcome addition to the ABQ food scene! Variety of street tacos served with ingredients that are fresh and flavorful. I recommend the pulled pork, brisket, and fish tacos. Coming from San Diego, I was so happy to find a good source for fish tacos. Their chips and queso dip are to die for! Walk up to order provides a casual dining experience for Coronado Mall shoppers. read more

I love Rusty Taco. It's almost a weekly stop for me. The menu is a la carte, so you get to mix and match tacos. The fried shrimp and all the chicken strip options are awesome! I also really enjoy the pork options and the queso is pretty good, especially for only being $3. I think everything is a great price, and the service is always cheerful and quick. read more

Awesome taco place... the green Chile Chicken Taco and my steak fajita taco was delicious. I was here around 2ish in a Monday, my food came out quick and hot....AND they had my favorite cider on tap (Tractor Brewing Delicious Red). The service was fantastic, attentive staff, first timers always get a run down of the menu and are provided the Top 3 favorite. Cashier is very personable! I will definitely be coming back. Tacos, Delicious Red Cider, Party Patio and Margarita's!! What more could ya ask for!! Great concept! read more

I am from CA and we have great Mexican food there so I am pretty picky about my Mexican food in general. I must say I wasn't expecting much with a name like rusty tacos but I was pleasantly surprised. My tacos were quite good and the chips and salsa/guacamole/queso were great! Great experience overall. read more

Best tacos I had ate. There are many things you can get and that's what I like. I will definitely come back again.

The food is wonderful, the manager great, how ever the woman at the register was absolutely horrible. She was rude and very unprofessional. I would never have her in front of customers. The location was Coronado Mall location on Friday 26th 2020 at 5pm. read more

This place is amazing. Food is perfect. Service is excellent. Al helped us out and we were not disappointed. COME HERE. I REPEAT. COME AND EAT HERE. read more

Food is alright not anything to brag about that you have had it and the nachos are not it sorry but will never return to this place

It was ok, I ordered a shrimp taco and a fish taco. The shrimp one was tasty, the fish, not so much. My guy ordered the carne taco, and it wasn't traditional, and he did it was ok. Overall, nothing great, just ok. read more

Tacos are over priced, and not that great Margaritas are made by someone who clearly has never had a Margarita. Just another restaurant trying to make there place "modern." Which in term means just up the price of everything. Other than that service was great!! read more
