It was good when I was there but then my boyfriend had a stomach ache all night & my stomach just started hurting this morning.. a lot of burn. Prob won't go back unless everything else is closed lol read more

Alarm bells should have gone off when it was Saturday night during peak dinner hours and the place was dead, but we decided to give it a try anyway. That was my mistake...We just had the worst interaction at this restaurant, and it reminded me of why we stopped going here long ago. We had to order at the bar, even though the guy was standing at the register in the front, so we had to wait a while, but that was fine. The cook then came over and started to take our order before the bartender cut in. Somehow in the mix, they didn't understand that I wanted a side of queso and chips (which is on the menu). They kept saying they were giving me nachos, and I had to remind them multiple times that I didn't want nachos, I wanted queso with ground beef like they had always done. The guy said they don't do that, so I told him that is fine and to just give me a side of queso with chips. He told me they are going to get me the beef in it since they used to do that. I said it wasn't necessary, but he insisted. Then I got asked if I want extra cheese. I asked, "For what?" They said for the nachos. I reminded them again that there should be no nachos...The guy was clearly getting annoyed with me, and I was given a bill for 4 tacos and an order of nachos. I had to explain to him again because I was charged $10 for nachos instead of $5 for queso...He refunded me, and then I ended up in the end getting a box of chips (looking like nachos), with a cup of super, salty beef with no queso. And tacos that were also too salty to eat. My lips are still burning from the amount of salt, and half had to be thrown out along with the cup of salty beef. The entire thing was pretty funny, but I wasted money, and your new bartender isn't very charming and does not know the difference between queso and nachos. This is a clear training issue on the part of management. We won't be back. Haha! read more

If you want to eat at the Rusty Taco, get ready for a treasure hunt. Our GPS took us to on a wild goose chase. So, if you can't find it, look for the Starbucks; it's next door. Anyway, the layout is pretty cool. There is a bar with a window that opens to an outdoor patio so that patrons can sit at the bar either inside or outside. The menu is a good sized menu. But remember, if you order a street taco, that's what you get. It's not a large helping of filling (in fact my taco was about half of what the menu photo looked like) and unlike a street taco, there is only one tortilla. I I would recommend that you buy two. I ordered the #9 Rusty Taco with achiote pork, grilled pineapple relish, diced onions and cilantro. It was delicious. Meals don't come with chips so you have to buy them. They were fresh and crisp and OMG, the mild salsa I ordered was among the most tasty I've had (and believe me, I've tasted as many salsas as a sommelier has wine. Over all, it was a pleasant and tasty experience. BTW, they do sell the salsa by pint or quart. read more

We are visiting here in Scottsdale from California... this place i AMAZING!! Food is D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S ! and the service is wonderful; Molly is the bartender here and is so friendly and personable!! She is one of the reasons we come back!! Brisket Nachos are so good!! Try them!! read more

Best fish tacos. Ever. New addiction. Comes out piping fast. Incredible value. Enjoy with a house margarita.

A favorite place for my husband and son to go eat at. Lots of choices. All very good. My son enjoys this place. I like there is also a bar and you can get good drinks read more

Real nice layout Great bar and patio open air Service was five star I don't love the food. Note when I lived in Texas I never got used to Tex mex The steak taco sucks. Just a big spade of chewy meat. Not my definition of fajita The black bean taco was good but a little fancy for my taste I can't remember the third type of taco I got I think it was shrimp which was fine just not memorable The one thing I loved was a habanero salsa Next time I might go with a cheese quesadilla Coke was good. Many restaurants have bad soda from the bar this was fine All the employees had masks on which I really appreciate read more

Rusty Taco - Great patio bar - Tacos Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

This place definitely isn't a 4 star spot. Tacos are ok and portions are good, definitely not anything special. The bartender is acoustic and won't stop talking to himself or you. The flow makes 0 sense you walk up to the menu/where the counter is and the bartender is shouting at you across the restaurant that he has to take your order all the way over there? There's a random lady that I think was a customer making her own frozen margs, and to top it off the water tastes like soap and the bartender knew it but still tried to see if I'd take it. Watched him do the exact same thing to the next guy that sat down. 3 stars is generous for this place there's so many great taco spots within 15 minute drive from here. Steer clear read more

So I am a taco lover. I am old and had many tacos in my life. My margarita was ok. The tacos not so much. It was not busy by any means. The tortillas were cold. The meat were dry and lacked taste. I will not be returning, read more

Rusty Taco - Tacos Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

First time at Rusty Taco, and the quality and service were far beyond anything I experienced with any fast food. Bravo Rusty Tacos!

Food was very mediocre- not fresh, overly fried, tortillas were chewy, seasonings were boring. Alcohol and the chips and queso were good and no complaints about any of the service or staff. Music was great. Perhaps we were just there on an off night for the cook or maybe ordered the wrong tacos? But we had 4 different types and I didn't finish or enjoy any of them. Not bad enough experience to be a one star- but the food was very disappointing and not four star by any stretch of the imagination. read more

We seriously thought this place was closed for the night hardly anyone was there for a Sunday night. When we got in we told the bartender it was our first time and what did they suggest, he shrugged and the other couple suggested the Original Fried Chicken taco, and I am so glad we listened! We got our food really fast. We all loved the tomatillo salsa but habenero almost killed us. Price was a bit average. It is an okay taco shop to check out. read more

Wow wow wow. Fabulous margaritas at $4.00. Are you kidding? And great pouring by Alex. Magnificent taco selections. My favorite the fried chicken and fried shrimp and asada. read more

Everything we had was totally fine, but our favorite thing wasn't the foot but the outside seating. Chips and guac were 3/5. Maybe a 2. Lots of tomatoes and the guac was really thick. We love tomatoes, but it can be a filler and well, no thanks. Also lost cool points for it being served in a styrofoam cup. Unnecessary. Chips were also a B. Tacos were good. The rajas was my favorite and my husband liked the steak best. He had 3 and I had 2. Both were full in the end. Kids got quesadilla kid meals and they were substantial. Our 9yo has a decent appetite and finished his plate but said he was full. The red and green salsas were both good but served in tiny plastic cups. Like why? Outside seating was ample and margaritas were $6 each though I didn't have one. You can sit at the indoor bar or the bar extends outside too for a cool flair. Kind of like a mix between a bar and a Rubio's IMO. Can't say I'm raving but can't say it was terrible. Decent. read more

Got frozen margaritas! They're Pretty good & cheap! I also got the bfast burrito bowl with brisket and it's delicious, definitely would come back. Ordered at the bar instead of their regular counter, ambience is sporty vibes and love it, super clean and staff are nice! No pics here bc I was starving and ready to tackle that strawberry frozen margarita read more

Great tacos - great service and fun Happy Hour deals with a nice patio you gotta try the Iceburg!!

I was craving fish tacos for national fish taco day, and of course, looking for something new so I found this place and we decided to go there waited about 10 minutes to finally get greeted, but the quality of service made up for the 10 minute wait as it was pretty dead inside The fish tacos weren't bad I definitely feel like they're missing something like an extra punch for your taste buds, but they are average from my first experience. read more

I went to Rusty with my brother and we really liked their tacos! They have a variety of taco types, most of them fairly Americanized, but all very flavorful. The tacos are also quite large and decently priced for their size and quality. read more

This place is soooooo good! I walked here after I had the worst burger at White Castle. I got the rusty taco and grilled shrimp taco. They were both soooooo good but the shrimp taco was definitely my favorite. Sooo much flavor and so delicious. read more

Wow I'm totally impressed this place is so fun and delicious ! I am a little bit picky when it comes to tacos but this place nailed it! It reminds me of a taco shop in Texas Everything was extremely fresh they have a pretty extensive menu and all the prices are very very reasonable. I would say they are bigger than street tacos especially if you get the flour tortilla I literally got full off of one They have a full bar which is really nice and the bartender Alex was absolutely awesome! Happy hour is Monday through Friday 3 to 6 and I got a margarita on the rocks for $3.24 Oh they have a deal but it's only for to go orders family pack of six tacos or 10 tacos mix and match I got the six pack it came with queso guacamole and salsa and my order came out to roughly $24 bucks I will most definitely be back to this place! read more

This place is rusty in making nachos that's for sure! Ordered nachos and this is what I got, no joke... however it is laughable! But who is in a laughing mood when they are on the verge of being hangry!? What do you think of when you think nachos?! Cheese, glorious melted cheese, jalapeño, sour cream, guacamole, pico... and more melty cheese... right? Nope this place tossed in a pinch of cheese and pico on a bed of chips! Didn't even bother melting it! This is untouched! Just opened container. I paid $8 for chicken nachos minus the chicken (wait why did they charge me chicken nacho? I don't eat meat... they don't have just nacho- no meat?) but where are the toppings?! I paid $8 for chips! Wtf read more

First visit, friendly staff and clean atmosphere. Nice variety of menu options all reasonably priced. The queso was very good and I had both the grilled Baja shrimp taco and crunchy Baja shrimp taco. The grilled was hands down more flavorful and would definitely order again. read more

When I hit one star, the question was, what could improve, the answer is absolutely everything. We went a few months ago and the service was terrible. The food was terrible and we really felt like we were an inconvenience to the workers for being there. We were hoping that was a one off but it was even worse today. Ordered nachos to go and got chips with ice cold meat and a side of the cheese sauce. It was so horrible, I was afraid to give the meat to the dogs in case it was tainted. Always try to support the small business but your product is terrible. I'm moving on. read more

Close to my hotel, but super disappointed! Ordering online was easy - getting the correct order was hard. Ordered two grilled shrimp tacos with the new pineapple salsa- received two fried shrimp tacos w/ a spicy Mayo! Ordered 1 fajitas taco... I had stripped beef with over sautéed onions and no bell peppers in sight ... I can't eat spicy and didn't like the fajitas- so I was very disappointed! Too lazy to call and fix the issues with the order! The staff was super nice - they got the place the 3 Stars. read more

Horribly impersonable. Food alright, service slow and inattentive, but kitchen attitude intolerable. You have to order at the bar at lunchtime, and that takes awhile, so I sat down and stayed, but that was also slow. 2 tacos came without a fork. Couldn't wait for bar to get a fork so went to counter. He tells me "next time you can get them over there in the tool box". I tell him, "next time put it with the plate like they should be, and other people had" But there will not be a next time, unless it's for $3 margaritas read more

Amazing! We went here for the grand opening today and we were impressed! We already knew we liked rusty tacos because we've been to the Gilbert location, but we loved this spot! It is cool how they have the full bar. My fiancée got a beer but I got the jalapeño watermelon margarita on the rocksX it was delicious and refreshing, just a hint of spice. I also got two rajas tacos, one with guac and one with potatoes, and a black bean taco. I couldn't finish all the tacos since I had so many chips and salsa, and queso! Everything was awesome. My fiancé got bbq brisket tacos and egg cheese and brisket tacos. He really enjoyed them but his only complaint was that some of the brisket was a little fatty. The staff here was awesome and super attentive! Atmosphere is fun here too. I think we've just found our new go-to happy hour spot! read more

Fun place to go for street tacos. The staff is really nice and the service is quick. The tacos are very good although some can be a little bland. Most however are really great like their fish tacos and there Baja shrimp tacos are really great and packed with flavor. Plus their Margaritas are very good and going out for a quick bite to eat won't break the bank. All and all a solid 4 out of 4 read more

What a hidden gem! Happy hour is so well priced ($4 margs!) and the tacos were delicious. Service was great as well from the bartender. 10/10 recommend, and can't wait to go back! read more

Rusty Taco - Bartender made me a strawberry-mango margarita, very accommodating! - Tacos Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Heaven for anyone who likes tacos (which is everyone). So many options from light and healthy to rich and decadent. Chips are warm and salty and salsa is super flavorful. They even have additional salsa/sauce options that are help-yourself. Service is quick and friendly. They also have a full bar and frequent drink and food specials. As icing on the cake, there are multiple TVs showing a variety of sports. read more

So excited this opened today! The decor is trendy but laid back and there is plenty of outdoor seating. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable and our to-go order had everything we needed. We ordered one of each street taco (except the fried chicken) and our top were the beef brisket, BBQ brisket, and steak fajita. The rusty, grilled fish and picidillo had good flavor but were on the dry side. Each taco comes with a little lime wrapped inside (great idea!) but they were dry too. It would have made the tacos perfect with lime juice. The margarita had an excellent balance of flavors and tasted handmade but had no buzz. We will definitely come back and dine in next time as I think the key to the dryness is the lime juice. Over all this place was fantastic for opening day. The chips were crisp, thin and perfectly salted. The queso is spicy and habanero sauce is great. This is a great addition to the area for tasting street tacos that I would expect if I were in a beach town in Mexico. read more

Great food at reasonable prices! Really love this place and enjoy every time I come here

I have to give this place 1 star because I placed an order online to pick up and it was completely wrong. I don't mind it if they fix it. The problem is when I went in there I was completely ignored by an entire staff of people in the kitchen. I stood there making eye contact with these people and not being acknowledged until the bar tender from across the place made her war over. She let the kitchen know what I was missing as she pulled the ticket. The cook in the kitchen with the beard and lousy attitude grabs the ticket and is clearly annoyed as though it was by fault. He brought the ticket back to where I am standing and slams it down. I was taken aback by the attitude. I wasn't mean at all in fact o was extremely polite. The food was ok. read more

Rusty Taco - Dynamite shrimp and brisket tacoa - Tacos Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

We have been eating at this location since it opened. Shrimp, brisket and the rusty taco always good as is the Queso and chips.

Decently good tacos. Glad they had vegetarian options for a couple people in our group. A bit more expensive for smaller street tacos than I am used to ($4/taco). Good salsa. Guacamole was ok, queso was also just ok. Beers at $7 each is way overpriced. Given the lack of other options for quick business lunch in Scottsdale it rates 4 stars. read more
