Rusty Taco

Tacos are the theme, the script, the storyboard, and the production. It's no nonsense. It's is . . . what it is. It doesn't know the questions to ask. You bite them. You chew them up. Then, you swallow them and what next is, you chase them with a cold beer on tap or a cheap margarita. That's all I got, man. Btw, Rusty Tacos are located throughout North Texas.

Absolutely yummy tacos, and the brisket nachos were enough to fill 2 people. Atmosphere is very plain, no table service. The prices are high, though: one taco, one order of brisket nachos and 3 bottled soft drinks were $26. The taco was average-sized and had no sides. But it was the best taco I've ever had!

Rusty taco has become a staple for me and my wife when we want something still relatively cheap and yet higher quality than fast food. This counter serve street taco restaurant has excellent food. Between the two of us, we have tried a large portion of their lunch tacos and just now are starting to try some of their breakfast tacos, which are served all day. Though once you find one you like, it's difficult not to order that one every time you go. Our personal recommendations are the Picadillo Taco and the Fried Chicken Team Fave Taco. Their drink selection is between fountain drinks, beer (bottled and draft), and margaritas (frozen and on the rocks). They have a happy hour weekdays 4-7 as well as $3 Margaritas all day Monday and $4 Swirls all day Tuesday. Overall, great customer service and atmosphere. Pretty stellar food and drinks.

It is a modernized spin of Tex-Mex food. If you are looking for traditional Tex-Mex or real Mexican food, this is not the place to go. However, please don't read this as a negative. Their food was good. The atmosphere was nice. And the flavors throw a lot of curve balls which is something I actually enjoy. I will go back. But as I said at the top, modernized Tex-Mex is their niche and they do very good job at it.

I tried Rusty Taco today for breakfast. It's in the Ridglea area off Camp Bowie (which reminds me a bit of The French Quarter in New Orleans). It's such a nice area of Fort Worth. Anyways, I decided on the bacon taco, chorizo taco, and jalapeño sausage taco. All breakfast tacos come with egg & cheese. I also got a mango margarita. Their drinks are offered with "the cheap stuff" or "the good stuff", but let me tell ya: the cheap stuff is still strong! The tacos came out looking good. The salsa choices are mild, medium, and hot, but I'd have to say the mild is much spicier than the medium sauce (which I loved). The jalapeño sausage taco was a little disappointing (wasn't a fan of the flavor), but that chorizo taco is where it's at - it was SO good! It was about $20 for just myself with the 3 tacos & "cheap stuff" margarita. Outdoor seating is available which will be great with this cooler weather we are starting to get!
