Great food! First time, got a box and some mini tacos for the group at work, and those tacos stayed crunchy even an hour later! Took order on the phone, came fast and hot (don't forget crunchy!), and made all of us happy! Thanks for the good food. Will be back. read more

The asada tacos were 10/10 when I tried them on Sunday. I went back yesterday, but they tasted different. I wish the flavor was more consistent. read more

Just finished eating and OMG Food is amazing!! I love find locally Owned Gems in the AV. Food fresh and delicious. Service was absolutely amazing. Only regret is not taking pictures of our food- We devoured it!!! Our ordered consisted of Carne Asada plate- Perfectly seasoned and cooked Chilirelleno Burrito- Delish! My girls ordered a random pulled pork and it was sooo freaking good. I tried in of their famous ground beef tacos and it was sooo good!! This will definitely be our family new go to spot. Their menu is full of options. read more

The GOOD: Super friendly service by the owner's son in law. He gave us recommendations and told us his favorites. The place is bright and clean and comfortable in the 100 degree weather. The loaded nachos were piled high. The breakfast my son ordered looked good and plentiful. The BAD: The Pepsi free had no carbonation and tasted like it had too much syrup. My son said his coffee tasted old (It was after 11:00 a.m. and could have been left over from breakfast). He also said the toast was not buttered and there was no jelly on the table. We could have asked for some but the gentleman at the counter was overwhelmed. There was no one to help him in the front of the restaurant. There was a large line of people for him to take orders from. As food got done it was left to sit on the counter until he could break away to deliver it. The food would have been much better had we received it when it was hot. My loaded nachos had congealed cheese although it did have a large amount of carne asada, chopped tomato, guacamole, and a sprinkling of cilantro. My husband's comment on his hamburger combo was that it was the same as what he could get at Louis Burgers or Doublez (which shares the parking lot with Rusty's) read more

I am sincerely sorry to see some of the bad reviews here- I (like a lot of the others) was a faithful customer of Casita Lopez also. But change is good- at least this one was! Scrolling through Facebook I happened to see an post about their nachos and they looked delicious so I decided to go on in. Once I got in there I wanted to compare their hard shell tacos to Casita Lopez --- and I've got to tell you they're just as good if not better. I asked if they still carry some of my other favorites - - and they do ! Customer service was on point.Very friendly and you could tell they take pride in their food. I can tell this is going to be one of my favorite places to go to. I'll be back! Again and again and again and again read more

This was a nice find today, we were looking for a close spot to my folks house that served pozole, my brother recalled a restaurant nearby where he enjoyed the Mexican food, as we walked up to the place he noticed that the business had changed ownership, we decided to give it a try. We were greeted immediately by the friendly staff. The interior is a work in progress as the new owners are working to update and situate their new restaurant. They have a large seating area that can accommodate an army. We were impressed with the large menu options of traditional Mexican dishes, tacos, burritos, soups and so one. We were there to try the pozole, so happy they had some fresh pozole, my brother ordered the Chimichanga. Both had great flavor and food quality was very high. Being hispanic we quickly gauge the good quality against our moms, you know from the first bite when it's legit, Rusty's is legit. The pozole had nice chunks of meat, great seasoning, served with plenty of onions, cabbage, cilantro and radishes, the meal also comes with an ample side of tortilla chips that looked and tasted homemade. I ordered the small portion, thankfully I did verses the large the small portion was perfect. You can also ask for their home made salsas, from low spice level to extra spicy to your liking. My brothers Chimichanga was huge but one great difference was the amount of food within the Chimichanga, it was packed with beans and Carnitas, you can order it with any type of meat, you will not be dissapointed, its is also served with guacamole and sour cream. We are looking forward to our next meal to sample some of the other menu options. read more

The taco box of 10 to me was worth it. The staff and the vibe was cool too. The box came with 10 crunchy tacos with chips and salsa. Can probably feed 2 easily with an appetite. Try it if you get a chance. The place still needs some interior make up but a good spot for sure read more

We just ordered two carne asada burritos around 12:30pm today and have been sick to our stomachs ever since. my coworker is sweating sick to his stomach and i have been non stop throwing up. . My burrito was full of nothing but beans. read more

Hello everyone it was my first time ordering food from this restaurant and ordered through DoorDash ordered a torta de Carnitas and a burrito with a chile Riano and Carnitas. I specifically called the restaurant because I know DoorDash doesn't always ask for salsa or condiments so I directly called the restaurant myself and the gentleman that answered was the manager/owner and I asked him please make sure you put salsa in the order. I do not like to eat my food with no salsa. he said yeah OK sure I received my food and there's no salsa so I called the restaurant and I asked him hey bro I called you and I asked you for salsa. Why didn't you put them in the bag? Oh he said he forgot that's not how you run a business like that especially selling Mexican food what is food with no salsa horrible horrible customer service read more

Food was great!! We got crunchy tacos that were fried to perfection, weren't greasy or over fried the ground beef and the chicken was packed with flavor. Also got two chicken flautas again fried just right. The staff all were friendly and attentive, coming by to ask if we needed refills on drinks or anything else. Will be back! read more

There hasn't been anywhere else where I've had to wait this long for a burrito and a waffle. It took nearly 20+ minutes to get our food while there were only 3 other customers in the store. Multiple customers came in and walked out with orders before we got our food just for the food to be mediocre. Burnt eggs, unmelted shredded cheese in the burrito, poor service, flavorless horchata and bad waffles. Everything about this experience was negative. I would NOT recommend coming here if you're looking for a positive dining experience. read more

We went on Friday May 1, 2026, oh my goodness! Such fresh and good food. I got the Carne Asada Fries and I kid you not these were the best I've had. My wife also got the fajitas and loved them and the beans that came with them tasted so good and real! Also, the cheesecake is a must get. We will be back again and again. Service also friendly and quick. read more

Honestly the restaurant looks super clean and inviting on the inside I did get a small pozole for around $10 which was a perfect serving size for myself and honestly a good price! Will definitely be going back to try some breakfast plates. read more

Food sucks with new owners not the same was better when it was Casita Lopez and Casita Torres. Heard the original cook left and the new owner is rude to customers and there employees. read more

Menu is plentiful. Food is so-so, at least the last time we were there. I liked it better when the Lopez and Gutierrez family owned it. I ordered the meat burrito, expecting it to be on a full sized plate with a generous serving of beans. Just like it was when it was Casita Lopez. It came on a tiny plate, and the beans were mixed in with the meat. I also liked the booths that were there before, and the open salsa bar. Not any more! The wife and I decided to not go back. read more

I have been a customer for 28 years today was my last day eating there !! I ordered rice beans and taquitos with a side of guacamole. Soo disappointed the food has changed and has no taste whatsoever and its more expensive!!!! I will miss my favorite spot read more

We've been coming here through all versions, Casita Torres, Casita Lopez and now Rusty's Grill. The food quality has been the same delicious Mexican food (that's what we get) throughout. That is until now. We go every Tuesday. I order the Chimichanga with Chili Colorado meat, no beans. Well last Tuesday it was a very DEFLATED and FLAT looking burrito. The first 1/4 of the burrito I was eating into was just fried tortilla with nothing inside. I finally got close to the halfway point and sadly, I hit the filling. Beans and cheese with a VERY small amount of Chili Colorado. It was very sad. Last time we go. Time to look for a new spot. read more

Rustys Grill is an update to a business that has been around for a long time. my favorite here is carne asada tacos because there's plenty of meat and it's seasoned well. Iced tea always freshly brewed and tasty salsa. I plan to go back soon for pizole and some other menu favs. read more

Well since 1985 been frequenting this establishment. Yes Casita Lopez to Casita Torres now Rusty's Grill. I hate to say this but... burritos are very small now and the carne asada is minced instead of cut pieces and the flavor is lackluster now. The salsa is close to the same but still something is different other than its being locked up now. I truly feel the old goody stuff is just gone now. Good luck to Rusty. read more

supper disappointe. spent 25 bucks on 2 crispy beef tacos and a California burrito. (Not too bad) The tacos were ok at best. I may have ordered again, but my husband started eating his "California burrito" I ordered him with carne asada... it was a shell full of beans with some guac and pico, the California burrito as described has meat fries cheese pico and guac... there was no meat or fries! not a great first impression and i was home and clocked into work so I could not return it. not to mention it took about 15 mins to make and the place was empty! not during a rush where perhaps orders could get switched. the girl at the register was not very friendly either. even tho this place is close i most likely will not return. read more

I fully understand that there is a new owner and the menu was going to change. I was told they were going to keep the old menu and ingredients and were adding to the menu and a remold. As far as the remold I don't like the chairs with the tables. I would have like for there to be a couple booths. Also the salsa bar is gone. No more chips with your plates. The guacamole has changed and I'm not a fan of the tastes a lot of lemon like they are trying to keep it for a longer shelf life. The carne asada burrito was not good at all the meat was not acceptable. The bean and cheese burrito that is pretty basic was served cold to touch. I will not be returning and the new owner should talk to his guest about the changes he has made to the menu and ask for feedback if he wants his business to be successful. read more
