My favorite gringo tacos. And I say this as a compliment. They are not traditionally Mexican because of the combination of ingredients, but I think that's why I really like them. Tacos stopped being Mexican only and are becoming mainstream, at least in Texas. Try the Rusty Taco, Grilled Fish and the Pork taco. Those three are my favorites. read more

This taco was disgusting and I was unaware that it only came on a corn tortilla. When I asked if I could get a flour tortilla (I was offering to pay for it) she informed me that they would have to charge me for an entire side of tortillas. What a joke. This was the worst taco I have ever had and horrible service as well read more

Rusty Taco - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place has gone to the dumps. I ordered a brisket taco a few weeks ago and it was dried out and crunchy. Today I went for some breakfast tacos and they were all messed up (past three times I've been) - no avocado which I paid a dollar extra for, chorizo egg and cheese tacos all had queso on them (yuck!) and the ones I ordered with corn came in flour. The worst part about it is there's no contact information on their site. They direct you to call the store and talk with a cashier who a) doesn't care and b) can't do anything. I wish this place would get back to what they were 5-6 years ago. Going to be skipping it for awhile and a judging by the reviews, seems like everyone should be. read more

I use app for my orders and they always have the food ready when I get there and it is always correct and delicious.

Overpriced small tacos. Cold tortilla. The meat has no flavor. The tacos should be $1.99 for each. Not $3.50. The sauces are cold which doesn't marry with the warm meat. Should have a flour tortilla option read more

The service is amazing. The Cashier is a 19-year-old dude that goes to college really polite. I feel like family every time I come in.

Food was delicious and fresh. Tried the Taco of the Month. Fried chicken for breakfast is amazing. :).

Great service & fresh tacos! The menu has breakfast & lunch options. Also, great patio!

Tiny tacos for the same price as full sized better ones at Torchy's. Salsas hit the extremes: very hot habanero, very mild red sauce, no heat green sauce. Tacos tasted ok, just wasn't much there. read more

It's been a minute since we've ordered and the food is still as good as I remember. Good value for the quality and they followed my picky request for no extra cilantro. read more

I ordered from Uber eats, the 6 taco meal/plate so I could share with others. Ended up selecting various tacos and I must say, I am very impressed as well as my guest. Each taco was satisfying. We tried fried shrimp, grilled shrimp, brisket, BBQ brisket, and two steak. The steak could be a bit less dry but still flavorful. The meal also came with salsa and queso dips, with chips. The queso is good. read more

We are long time Rustys patrons, but prices have hiked and food quality has gone downhill. $9 for two tiny brisket tacos and we threw one after eating the first because the meat tasted off. They got our order wrong, made shrimp when we ordered grilled fish tacos, and argued with us saying that we ordered shrimp (how does "fish" sound like "shrimp"?). The old Rustys would not have done that, and for these and other reasons we suspect it has new ownership-- judging from not recognizing any of the employees, price hikes, and the music being very different. That may seem weird to say but we used to eat here several times a month. This will be our last visit. Sorry to see this, we always enjoyed the outdoor tables and relaxed atmosphere. read more

I almost gave this place three stars but the three dollar margaritas saved them lol. The tacos are pretty good for the most part. I've only had one taco that I did not enjoy and some others that were just average but I've also had some really good ones. I was going to give them three stars because I'm not a fan of their customer service and the margaritas are not the best but I can't be mad bc the margs are three dollars during happy hour sooooo, yea... read more

Rusty Taco - Bacon, egg, and cheeses taco and a black bean taco - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

ordered chips + salsa with my tacos in curbside. when i got home the salsa was in bag but no chips!! now i have to make another unnecessary trip back to the restaurant for their ineptness!! :( this is not the 1st time things have been left out of my previous orders!! the food is very good but failure to include stuff that i paid for is utterly unacceptable!! :( read more

Always the BEST! Their bacon egg & cheese is my favorite. Never go anywhere else for bfast tacos!

Ok, I get it... Rusty Taco recently opened, and the word is just getting out. It's why I went there. I love tacos (duh). So if I can try a new place to eat one of my favorite foods, then I'm in without a second thought. The restaurant is easy to find and in plain sight right on the corner of the intersection. But this proved to be the easiest part of the adventure. Parking is practically nonexistent. We pulled into the parking lot (only 10-15 spots) but it was full. I made a 5 point turn and we get back on the street. After a lap and a half around the entire block we parked in a neighboring restaurant's lot. Yes! I'm in the door, let's eat! FALSE. Please be aware that the ordering counter is not very fast. So if it's as crowded as it was this weekend, be prepared to stand in line at least 15 minutes. They also had a clever pitch at the counter to under-promise and over-deliver by telling me I would get my food in 30 minutes, and delivering it in 10. This was all too obvious of a tactic since 4 small tacos should not take anywhere near 30 minutes (let alone 10). I ordered 4 tacos (picadillo, fajita, shrimp, and the Rusty Taco), chips & queso, and two Coronas. Total cost was about $18 which wasn't bad since the beers were $3.50 a piece. When the food came, it didn't look too bad, but I was in for disappointment. The picadillo taco lacked any flavor and was quite dry. The shrimp taco wasn't horrible, but I've had much better and other places don't use those baby shrimp you find on Red Lobster salads. The Fajita taco wasn't as dry simply because of the sautéed onions, but still wasn't great on the flavor meter. I would say that you could try and add some of the salsa to moisten up the taco, but it really won't help. Lastly the signature Rusty Taco was the driest pork I've ever had. I would never serve pork like that. So I tried a new place and it didn't work out. It happens. Best of luck to Rusty to work out issues, but I won't be going back. P.S. - Thank you Corona for getting me through this meal. read more

Rusty Taco - Rusty Taco - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Ah, Brett beat me to the first review! Anyway, Rusty Taco was slammed for lunch today. The line was literally out the door. Luckily, it moved pretty quickly. Like Brett said, they were out of a few things, but I ordered a picadillo, a brisket and a fried fish taco. It took awhile, but I'm not going to dock them a star for that considering that it's only their second day and they were completely swamped. When they did call my name, I was treated to three tacos, slightly bigger than Fuel City and infinitely less greasy. The fish was undoubtedly my favorite. Unlike Brett, I thought the sauce was awesome and it was lightly battered and fried. Picadillo and brisket were good but not mind-blowing. Overall, it's a good start for Rusty Taco - and you really can't beat the price. read more

Rusty Taco - Picadillo, brisket and fried fish. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Can't get enough of these tasty tacos, soooooo GOOD!! Overall, RT serves up some pretty tasty tacos. My favorites include: potato,egg & cheese taco, shrimp taco, and the grilled chicken taco.The habanera and tomatillo sauces are amazing and the guacamole is fresh. Parking can be somewhat challenging, but once in, you can relax and enjoy some good food and drinks on their spacious patio. read more

I went to grab my food and a cockroach ran across the counter... and to make matters worse, a group of 4 corporate managers were standing nearby, saw the roach, and did NOTHING! Food was great, service was great, but management and their corporate staff is a bunch of entitled, narcissistic assholes read more

A staple, Rusty Taco hit home for those who like tacos. And, you better like tacos because there isn't much else on the menu. It's a great place to come if you're in the mood for tacos, that are fresher, more authentic and better for you than those at Taco Bell, Taco Bueno, Del Taco and Taco Del Mar. The downfall is options. Unless you want tacos, this isn't the place for you. Meanwhile, for those in the mood for a snack, quick lunch or a evening bite, the taco here are easy to shove down, because they are affordable and tasty. Their salsa is darn good, too, and people obviously love their queso. The guacamole is average, at best. read more

Rusty Taco - Looks like a gas station. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We went to Rusty Taco for happy hour (3-7 M-F) supper tonight, our first visit, and were quite pleased with our experience: 1. Half price beers and ritas- I had a $2 Mosaic IPA 2. $2 Chips and guac or queso (ghetto style orange stuff, with a nice jalapeno kick) 3. Fish tacos- we got our grilled, dressed nicely with cilantro and cabbage 4. Pork taco- generously stuffed with meat, dressed with pickled onions 5. "Raja"- mexican veggies (grilled peppers, onions, and shrooms), with cilantro The vibe is urban industrial (fitted to an old gas station), much like the Twisted Root burger on SMU blvd with concrete floors and garage doors, plus some rusty scrap metal art of life sized mariachi musicians on the outside patio. We'll be back soon, love this joint. read more

Good tacos, good ingredients, friendly staff. These were the first tacos I had in Dallas, and I will definitely be going back for more. Everything was well made. I especially enjoyed the pulled pork tacos and steak fajita taco. The food was presented well, and was pleasing to look at as it was tasty. I ordered another one, also. It was well made but was a flavor profile I didn't enjoy overly much, but that's my issue not an issue with the food. The price was right, and one would probably want to order two or three tacos for a meal. We also had chips and salsa. The staff was friendly and service was prompt. The outdoor seating is nice, and covered. read more

Rusty Taco - Pulled pork, steak fajita, and ground beef tacos. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Updating my review to 1 star. This is the 3rd time I've been here in a month and they have been out of margaritas every time. How can you seriously run a Mexican joint and always be out of Rita's. Hopefully one day they will actually have margaritas. The girl at the order counter didn't give a sh#t either. Her excuse every time is we were really busy. Here's a tip for management. Buy more margarita ingredients. read more

I'm definitely right up the "meh" alley on this one. Wavering between 1 and 2 stars. I mean, I get it. It's a $2 fast food street taco. Quick and easy. But I think the downfall is that, because of the price, the ingredients tend to be sacrificed. The eggs are liquid product, the meat is "batch cooked" so not cooked to order (means it could be sitting there for 30+ minutes), the tortillas are crap, and the chips/salsa/queso are just generic. I will admit that I was on a kick here for a while. I hadn't been to many other taco places. The BBQ brisket here is still pretty decent, but everything else has been done elsewhere. And done better. The concept isn't hard to grasp, but the tacos just don't measure up to the other taco places around in my opinion. I would definitely put Rusty Taco next to a Taco Cabana or Fuzzy's. It's the same quality, the same service, the same sort of "fast food" feel to it. Although I will give Rusty points for having a neat outdoor seating area and sticking to the grungy theme of old country music. I'd say if you have nothing else going on and are just hungry, give it a shot. If you want good tacos, go somewhere else. read more

Rusty Taco - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I'm glad to see a new business went into the vacant, "Just Brakes" building and the corner of Greenville Avenue and University. I love taco's as well, so this prompted my first visit. It's a nice hang out for SMU students, the domestic beer is cheap. However, if you are hungry...don't come here with less than $20 in your wallet. Their $2 taco's are almost appetizer size on a kids menu. Anyhow, the inside is decorated like a Chipotle and the staff, although friendly, have that Freebirds type of garage band grunge. read more

Amazing frozen margs 10/10 just moved to Dallas texas and will certainly be back. Thank you guys!

Tried it with the wife for lunch today and was looking forward to it. We love tacos and it is our mission before we leave Dallas to try all the taquerias at least once. Those we like we will repeat. Tacos are $2 each, which is a bit high considering the fillings and what you can get at Mia Pueblito (for instance). I got brisket, fish taco, and chicken. The chicken was tender but there were only a few pieces. The piece of fish was the smallest I have ever seen in my life, maybe one ounce? The brisket taco was good and by far the best of my selections. The wife got fish taco, fajita, and something else. Her impressions were the same as mine--skimpy fillings. We both left hungry. I now understand why almost everyone buys a side of chips and salsa or chips and queso. We both left saying the tacos were ok but nothing special. We have other fave places by now and probably won't return anytime soon. read more

So as everyone has said before me, the parking sucks here! Now on to the food! We ordered 2 shrimp tacos,a beef fajita one and a chicken fajita one as well! Personally I like the beef the best, it really reminded me of ghetto tacos. The beef was nice and flavorful, the only problem is that there really is not texture diff. The beef is soft, the onions are soft and the tortilla is soft.... there needs to be something diff because it gets mushy after you eat more than 2 bites! the shrimp was good as well but there was way to much sauce. idk if the shrimp is fresh but it's cooked nicely with a crispy shell and putting the amount of sauce on top makes the shrimp soggy if it sits too long. Also the sause overpowered the rest of the other flavors. The chicken was okay, it was a little on the dry side but it was okay. As somewhere I have heard amazing things about and been dying to try. It was just okay. It could be better but it's Def better than Fuzzy ' s. I would come back if I was in the area. read more

Rusty Taco - Tacos: 2 shrimp, one beef fajita, one chicken fajita - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My favorite breakfast taco of all time is the migas taco here. When in doubt, this is the go to spot, especially if you're hungover. I enjoy all their tacos but I typically order the fried Baja dynamite shrimp, migas, and texican. Their dillas are solid too, but I've never met a dilla I didn't like. I've lived all over Dallas and there have been other Rusty Taco locations that I've lived closer to and I've always chosen to go to this one because the people and staff make it great. Major shoutout to Joel and his mom for always making sure the experience is always solid! read more

Great food overall I definitely will be coming back, very friendly service as well !!!!

I was expecting much better since I found the name on a list of best taco shops to try in Dallas. I should've slowed down from my hurry and checked trusty Yelp to see the stars on this joint. I have a rule that no taco place in Dallas is worth trying if there are less than four stars. The chips and salsa were solid, but it's hard to get that wrong. The tacos on the other hand were not spectacular. I also didn't think the quality of the chicken inside mine was very good. I can see why there was no one in there when we walked in. We attributed it to the time, since it was 1:30 on a workday, but I think if it were better quality there still would've been a crowd. All in all, I recommend satisfying your taco craving elsewhere. This might be a good choice in Rhode Island, but in Dallas, you can find 100 other places that are 100x better. read more

R Taco is my friend's favorite taco joint in Dallas, so I knew I really had to try it out when I was in town. So we U-turned after passing it and popped in on a Thursday evening. They were super quick once we ordered but the line was long and through only had one cashier. Good thing you have lots to look at while you wait. Picking one taco was hard, so I ended up getting two. Can't beat the price of $5ish for 2 tacos! Loved the Rusty taco (pork, onions, cilantro and pineapple!!) just a hint of heat, but not too spicy. Just FYI, the pineapple is cold - I was expecting it to be a hot filling. The Brisket taco was also delicious - it comes with queso fresco, cilantro and onions. While it was juicy and soft - I loved that it wasn't super messy to eat. Their corn taco tortillas were legit! Made everything that much better! Coming back for their dessert tacos next time I'm in Dallas! read more

I went to the Rusty Taco on Greenville Ave, in Dallas TX for breakfast tacos. It was a great experience. The service was friendly and courteous.

I love Rusty Taco. The atmosphere is pretty awesome and relaxed. The servers are very friendly and helpful. The shrimp tacos are the BEST. I just wish the portions were bigger thats why I only gave 4 stars. You gotta buy like 3 to fill you up but they're only 2 bucks a pop so it's not TOO bad. Their queso is good depending on the day. I like the location, the parking is a little big hard if it gets crowded since it's pretty limited. read more

I am a taco fan and Rusty Taco delivers wonderful flavors. The steak is juicy and packed full of delight. The "Rusty Taco" taco was surprising. It comes with pineapple chunks, which one would think it may ruin a taco..but it gave the taco a very refreshing flavor. The margarita was the star of the show. Perfect mix of tequilla...rendering it STRONG! Was hesitant to order the frozen drink because it's typically weak at other establishments, but Rusty Taco did right by me. The atmosphere was very open and clean. It's located in an old gas station, making it very eclectic. They do have a taco eating contest, which 35 tacos so far is the record. Not sure the prize. They have patio seating as well. read more

I used to live in Tyler tx and rusty taco was my go to place. Without knowing the background of rusty taco and when I moved to the villages off of lovers I found out that the original is on Greenville ave I was super excited. I'm a big fan of street tacos, now all their tacos aren't the best I do have my favorite that I will always order and keep me coming back for! My lil ones like the chips n salsas and queso and chicken tacos. The service is usually pretty awesome ive never been shorted a taco or overcharged. There is an outside seating area which came in very handy during the pandemic. They have margaritas and a fountain machine to quench your thirst and I think bottled sodas, I'm more of a h2o drinker. read more

Great tacos for the price. Fish taco was clean and not bogged down with sauce. Brisket taco had more meat than I expected. +! beer was ice cold and I left there without spending over $8! Being in this part of Dallas, people would pay more for these tacos ( NOT a suggestion, Nickie!). Staff very friendly and the salsa was drinkable. Good to have a joint like this that I'm happy to say was born here! Fair warning........ I will be back. With friends. read more

Good decent affordable tacos. Nothing to crazy they do offer some crazy like chicken tenders n what not. It's almost like if Tourchys made smaller taco for half the price. Don't get me wrong it's good taco but I can eat like 6 tacos compared to The competition where 2-3 could do the trick. Some like smaller tacos. I would have gave them four stars but they close early and Velvet tacos opens till 4 AM. read more
