Rusty Taco is a great place to go if you want a very quick flavorful bite. Service was very quick and my food was ready within 5-10 minutes. I ordered the cola braised brisket tacos. I added one of each of the salsas to them. They had a slightly smokey flavor reminiscent of liquid smoke, but I could not tell that they were cola braised at all. It's a quiet little place and we enjoyed it. Overall it was decent, but nothing out of this world. I probably won't come here again, but I would still recommend it to anyone who wants a fast affordable meal. read more

I try to stop by here everytime I come to Westchester Commons. I love the breakfast tacos. Brisket is my fave. For lunch, the team favorite and texicans are my go to. Cheap margaritas, Mexican music in the background, plenty of seating. Always super quick service. Tacos are a little pricey, but what isn't around this area. read more

This place just gets worse. Quality of food is subpar. Always messing up orders. Took forever just to serve horrible food that immediately sent us to the toilet. Still trying to figure out why there were half cooked potatoes in the street corn. One of the few decent things they had that's no longer good. Pictured are the black beans we were served. Officially done. read more

Rusty Taco - Nachos. - Tacos Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

I was craving a taco while running errands and ended up here with my family. I have never been to a Rusty Taco so I had no idea what to expect. Long story short I was underwhelmed. Everything just fell short: Queso: runny and watery Brisket taco: dry, crunchy and flavor less, Philly steak taco: the shining star of my order. The steak was juicy and seasoned well. A little tough to chew though. Spicy shrimp taco: no spice and heavy on the salt, very dry. Habanero sauce: mild at best The prices seem a little high for what you get. They do have a bar that serves margaritas and a daily 3p-7p happy hour daily. We were there during that time and saw no signage calling out what was on the happy hour menu nor did the employees mention this. In the pecking order of taco places Rusty Taco falls on the bottom of the rung just slightly above Taco Bell. read more

Went to this Midlothian location of this chain restaurant. I had never been there. Was interested in trying after a day of hiking. The first experience of the visit was to see how dirty the restroom was. Decided to put that out of my mind. Placed an order of chicken fajita bowel. I did not want the rice or beans and there fore ordered the salad as a base. The chicken may have been 2 oz of chopped up something that was some kind of meat, but did not taste like any grilled chicken I have ever had. When I asked "are sure this is chicken?" The cook said they had gotten a "new chicken supplier". He assured me the "meat" was chicken. I could not eat the meat and pulled all the meat off the salad. I would not recommend this place for any food. Or for bathroom facilities. read more

I uploaded my first Rusty Taco photo on September 28, 2019! That was 3 years and 1 month ago at the time of this review. That photo was also uploaded 5 months BEFORE the COVID-19 pandemic and guess what... Rusty Taco STILL sucks. How in the world after 3 years and a global pandemic is this little shit hole still in business??????? Our first experience was so God awful we waited until March of 2022 to try again. Guess what? THEY STILL SERVE ICE COLD disgusting ass tacos. It's almost comical how bad these are. They are STONE COLD EVERY TIME. I even asked local patrons if their food was even WARM let alone hot. What is happening and who is keeping this place in business. The lease in Westchester must be expensive and yet you survive. My pictures speak volumes. This place is trash. read more

First time and the food was delicious! Well definitely be back, especially for the margaritas!

The outside tables ar always filthy n and in a state of disarray. Nothing new here most outdoor dining are left unattended and dirty. House keeping leaves much to be desired. Food is a bit above average but not by much. Order takers should ask whether customers wants flour or corn tortillas. read more

I won't be going back, $5.00 for a beef brisket taco that was overwhelmed with cold cheese, ice cold onions and 3 pieces of cilantro. There was small pierce's of " brisket" that wasn't brisket. I took one bite of this foolishness and threw in trash. You be better off going to mission BBQ for brisket. read more

If you're looking for cold tacos, and water down margaritas. This is the place to go.

Nice place we got 4 tacos 2 fish and 2 texican would recommend meat was cooked right after we ordered and the topping are kept cold! Was a little pricy but I bet that corner space is renting for 5k a month so more business will probably bring the prices down. Nice guy at the register listened well. read more

Came for lunch on a Tuesday. They were surprisingly busy for a weekday, but got orders out quickly. You order individual street tacos. They have a plethora of flavor profiles and various proteins. I got a rusty taco, grilled shrimp, and a philly. They were all flavorful and fresh. They have a taco for everyone! They also have chips, nachos, desserts, drinks (alcoholic and non), and a kids menu. I'll definitely be back to try more items. Parking is easy and there are lots of spaces in Westchester Commons. We sat outside on their patio which was perfect! They have umbrellas over each table for shade and there was plenty of seating. Staff was super nice and seemed like they enjoyed working there. read more

We visited the Rusty Taco for the first time this week and were pleasantly surprised. They focus on selling street style tacos. Soft corn and flour tortilla. I had something similar in Venice Beach on the boardwalk. We ordered grilled shrimp, fried fish and beef tacos. The flavor was delicioso! Rusty Taco is located in the back area of West Chester Commons. Currently off the beaten track but in the next few months a large apartment complex housing 200+ apartments will be opening about 30" away. This is going to transform the area and put Rusty Taco's margarita bar and outdoor patio to good use. The atmosphere inside was fantastic. I can totally see the being my go to spot for sipping margaritas during the summer months. There was plenty of outdoor parking. We ordered at the counter and the cashier was informative. The only part that was disappointing was the size of my $3 taco. It was kinda small and empty looking. Once I dug in, it was enough and super tasty but I had to get over the initial "wow this is small!". I plan to go back for lunch more often now that I know about the Rusty Taco.. read more

It's good! Look I appreciate anywhere that has new, interesting and fun food options. Rusty Taco does that for me. It has unique options that you wouldn't necessarily find in the area, and with a relaxed atmosphere, it's just a fun place to come for lunch with friends. Nothing fancy, but different than the normal food options you get everywhere. read more

Rusty Taco - Tres Grande - Tacos Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Don't like the name...implies that I may need to get a tetanus shot for stepping on a rusty nail (or heaven forbid, eating their food!). But besides the unusual name, the food is pretty good. Food servings are plentiful and hot, there is a good variety from which to choose (even breakfast taco all day long!), and the staff is customer service oriented. Establishment is clean, and there is never a long wait. It's a little pricey considering it's basically "fast food", but a good option between Taco Bell and Two Compadres. Good for takeout when you want a taco that is out of the ordinary. read more

Nice people and good chips are the only thing this place has to offer. Paid $30(first off that's crazy for two tacos w rice and beans) for them to give me a two soggy ass tacos that taste bland asf, black beans weren't even cooked that long, straight up forgot to put in the rice, and borderline expired guacamole. Lesson to learn, look at the reviews before you go somewhere. read more

For their price, I was a little disappointed with the overall quality of my meal. They seemed to be lacking the "it" factor about street tacos. Overall, I enjoyed the shrimp taco and chicken fajita taco bowl the most. Their margarita machine was not working when I visited, but I would have liked to try one with my meal. The service was slow and overall not great considering it was 90% teenagers working. I think with a few small adjustments, I'd be willing to give them another chance. read more

Rusty Taco - Baja shrimp taco, Acapulco fish taco, chicken fajita bowl - Tacos Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

We used to love this Rusty Taco but the last couple times we've had nothing but issues. Went one time and ordered guac. We were told by the cashier she didn't recommend we get that because they made it with non ripe Avocados. We got guac this time and it was so tasteless. I ordered the Baja Shrimp bowl. I got my order and noticed there was no "Baja" sauce. Went back up to ask for some and was just then told oh sorry we ran out and don't have anymore...would have been nice to have known when I ordered the meal with the only sauce being the BAJA SAUCE. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your time or hard earned money here. Also, I've previously had a beard hair in my food. From then on I had made sure that individual wasn't in the kitchen since you can see into the kitchen. Just don't. read more

The chicken nachos here are to die for. Shrimp tacos are my gf favorite. Also love the salsa here. It's perfect!

Secret here is sit at the bar. Great service no need to wait in line. I like the texacana taco the best and like all with the flour tortillas. read more

I've been here a few times, mostly I ate there but recently I ordered on line and picked up. It is always good. The staff is friendly and the food is consistent. I loved the nachos as they were the right amount of chips and topping which is rare. My go to is the fish taco which is always fresh and delicious. It's kid friendly and there is outside eating. read more

I filled out & sent in my (cashier) application on Monday, 1/13/25. I had my job Interview on Wednesday, 1/15/25. I had to go back there the next day (Thursday, 1/16/25,) so that Shelby, the General Manager, can see me for 5 minutes. Shelby said she'd call me to let me know if I had the job. Shelby never called me, so I called her on Monday, 1/20/25. I spoke to Shelby, and I asked her if I got the job. Shelby told me "No, and that she hired a high school kid." Now, I am a Senior Citizen, looking for just a part time job! I believe that Shelby hired a teenager after seeing me! I feel like it was Age Discrimination ! Senior Citizens Need Work, too ! Because I believe that I was (Age) Discriminated Against, I Will Never Be A Customer There, Or @ Any Rusty Taco Location ! Besides That, It's The Middle Of Winter, And It Was Cold In That Place ! Also, The Woman's Bathroom & The Dining Room Had Dirty Floors & Tables ! If I Could Give This Place 0 Stars, I Would! This Place Doesn't Deserve 1 Star - It Deserves 0 Stars ! read more

My wife and I broke our number one rule..when we walk into a restaurant and there is hardly anyone in it..especially at prime dinner hour.. WALK OUT...Well we did not and took a chance...bad idea..there were only 5 other patrons there. . The taco's we ordered were smaller than you get at Taco Bell and more than double the price...$ 5.00 for a brisket taco ??...that was nothing but grizzle...plus wilted lettuce. My wife's chicken taco was over cooked..and small tiny pieces..we took one bite and left. The " staff " was four teenagers standing around chatting it up. For excellent tacos go to Latitudes or Wongs...when you see the business they do you will know why. Pass on Rusty Tacos at Westchester Commons Midlothian Va. Tom & Karin.. Midlothian, Va. read more

The food was tasty just expensive. I felt I didn't get a good value for the price that I paid. I ordered steak nachos and after 2 bites the majority of steak was gone. I also ordered the steak soft taco. Again delicious just expensive and not great value for money. read more

Expensive food but not worth the cost. We tried the barbecue nachos and added black beans - they were decent. We also tried several of the tacos, but we were not overly impressed with any of them. Also, the sauce that was sitting out on the counter for customers to use had been sitting there so long that had dried out in the container. The employee apologized and came out and threw them away. She then put fresh ones out - but only after I complained. We would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Extremely expensive for the portions. One taco is 3:30-4:30 and they are very small and have very little filling. Chips are store bought. Not impressed read more

Rusty Taco - One taco. $4. And half filled and falling apart. - Tacos Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Won't ever go again. Wish I had read other reviews before and not seen 4star ratings on google which they managed somehow. Was served cold, dried and hardened tacos. Something, which is supposed to ve their speciality. Only fresh thing they made was a veggie Rajas taco, which was good, soft and flavorful. Rest all, chicken, fish tacos we asked for were probably prepared earlier and were stale and hardened. Outside sitting area is good, if you get lucky with food, one can enjoy sitting outside. read more

Never been here before, never going back. Itty bitty tacos, bland, no flavor, and crappy quality meat. I got 2 tacos, a drink, and chips for $12. Not worth it. The atmosphere is a 5 star rating, the service was also really good, friendly and fast. The food sucks. Very disappointed that a cool spot like this doesn't deliver on quality food. Ugh, SMH. read more

Went here for the first time last weekend! I loved it, especially their blueberry pomegranate margarita (on the rocks but they have frozen too!). It's a pretty casual place in a great location in midlothian. The nachos were a great size for two people, we got the steak nachos -- totally would recommend! I also loved the Baja shrimp taco and the chicken fajita taco. Would definitely return. read more

I've been to Rusty Taco a variety of times. Is it amazing? No... but it's pretty good. They are constantly adding to the menu which I like. They now have nachos which are pretty tasty. All of the tacos are pretty good. It does seem a little high at price per taco and they would benefit from a little discount if you buy more than one. I also really enjoy their prickly pear margarita. A group of us went on national margarita day and for $2.22 margaritas, you really can't beat it. read more

I have had both breakfast and dinner here. Love the concept of breakfast taco option, that was a first for me. For Breakfast, I had a bacon, egg, and cheese option and the brisket, egg, and cheese option. I added potatoes to both options. DO IT YOU WONT REGRET IT!!! For dinner, I had the#10 Fried Chicken (Team Fave) and the #11 BBQ Brisket Taco with a side of the queso dip and guac. Tacos were great and the QUESO was the best I have had in RVA PERIOD!!! The guac is very fresh, it had little chunks of fresh avocado in it. DID NOT DISAPPOINT I have gone twice with different family members and will be back again with other friends and family. * I read a post about needing some sauce to the tacos. They must have missed the three fresh handmade salsas that are perfect compliment that bring all the flavors of each taco together. read more

Place sucked. Seriously. Absolutely no flavor to the tacos, the margarita was bitter, and the portions are tiny especially for the price. Go anywhere else and I promise it'll be a massive improvement. Pepe's is exponentially better and cheaper. read more

Meh. The people working were nice but the food left me looking for something more. I got three different tacos and sadly each of them were dry and lacked flavor. The taco that had potatoes was undercooked while the meat was over cooked which was luckily made up for with their delicious salsas. They have three salsas a red that is reminiscent of your local Mexican joint, a tomatillo that was fresh, and a flavorful yet spicy habanero. The atmosphere is nice and I would certainly like to give them a second try when they get their rhythm going. read more

Pleasantly surprised by Rusty Taco. The staff was friendly and the tacos were fresh made and well constructed. My nachos were pretty basic (just chips, chicken, queso, cheese and pico) but the queso was flavorful without being too spicy and the nachos were enjoyable. My boyfriend had the three tacos which he gave a positive report. His favorite was the Baja shrimp. I would not make a special trip to Westchester to eat here but if you are heading to a movie or shopping Ruaty Taco makes a fine option for a quick bite! read more

We came here by chance, feeling adventurous to try a place we had not been before. We thought the food was very good. The ladies at the counter this evening were cheerful and enthusiastic. Clearly they enjoy their jobs. Great hiring decision on them. They made menu recommendations and explained things clearly. I had the grilled shrimp taco. It was excellent. I picked the specialty fried fish- cod- taco with avocado. The fish was lightly battered and seasoned and cooked perfectly. Both were served nicely hot. The Col had the Texicana #13 and enjoyed it. He also had the fried chicken one too and liked it. Next time- and we will be back we are going to get the salad version of the tacos. Plus they have shaved ice on the drink machine. Big plus. The decor is nice. The style is very casual too. Easy parking. No crowd at 7:30. Welcome to Westchester Commons. read more
