We were greeted immediately and given menus. They have a wide selection of margaritas, as well as wine and beer. I chose a cherry margarita, and it was great! We started off with the dip sampler (salsa, guacamole, and queso). Guac needed salt, but was good otherwise (7/10). Queso has some spice to it, and was great (8.5/10). I had the Fajita Trio and it was very good - a solid 8/10. Spouse had the Beef Quesadilla and said it was also very good - 8/10. I took about half of my fajita to go and also brought home a piece of Piña Colada Cheesecake. It had crushed pineapple and cherries on top and was delicious (8.5/10) - the perfect ending to a great meal! Overall an 8/10 - would definitely eat here again.

You just order at the restaurant and seat yourself. The ambiance is casual, and there is plenty of seating indoors and outside. Definitely recommend.

While visiting Duluth for the week, we were craving tacos and this place came up on Yelp aptly…read morenamed! We got there right when they opened and the staff were super helpful. We each got 3 street tacos. The Al Pastor was delicious. It's not the cheapy stuff you get at a lot of Tex-Mex places, but the real deal: roasted on a vertical spit. It was DELISH! Salty and slightly sweet and perfect. Also got the suadero which is a slow simmered beef and the arracherra steak tacos. All of them were great and served in soft fresh corn tortillas with cilantro, fresh onions, and a lime wedge. We tried all 3 of their salsas, the mild was delicious with avocado and garlic and the spiciest was hot but not too hot. As a shared side we got the esquite, which was corn with a lime-mayo, cheese, and a little salsa. It was great! If you're in downtown Duluth, this place is worth the stop in!

I was excited when I saw this place. I visited an exact same restaurant in Fargo, ND. Same name,…read moresame decor. I walked in and was seated. I asked the server if it was the same owners. Sadly no. I was still excited on trying the food. Server and other staff I interacted with were awesome. I didn't order my regular because I wasn't going to be here long enough to have leftovers. I ordered a cheese enchilada, chile relleno and rice with a lemonade. I asked the server how they made the relleno and she explained it. It was made authentically. So, chips were warm and had. Just the right amount of salt. The salsa lacked salt. The rice was the best. Very good rice. The relleno had a good flavor but was missing the egg batter. There was some but not enough. The enchilada. Now, I'm not sure what kind of cheese was used but it was really sweet. The enchilada sauce was also too sweet. The lemonade was also too sweet. If I was in the area longer I would be back to try something else. I'm a looker so I was looking at other peoples plates and their stuff looked and smelled really good.

Unfortunately when I arrived there was no greeting from any of the numerous staff. The two front desk employees were very busy with their registers and the phone, and it was 5 minutes before I was able to speak to someone. The main lady was a bit short with me, (and I saw her be much shorter with other customers). They were really busy, so I can sympathize with the stress, but some more manners would have went a long way. Unfortunately my pickup time was 15 minutes later than the ETA I was given online. When it came to the pizza itself though, they really delivered! It's possibly the best BBQ Chicken pizza I've had, even though I was surprised by the inclusion of dill pickles. If you're a pizza fan visiting the north shore it's definitely worth considering this place!

Rustic made the purchase process much faster thanks to their Pie on the Fly truck; our slice was ready in a couple minutes, fork and napkins included.

This was our favorite of the two.

Well when I went in They said they had a Seat ready. Oh okay great I thought:) Server seemed irritated from the get go. Meat loaf was decent. Mash potatoes and bread were very excellent. She brought my food and my drink in a reasonable time frame. But she seemed off. Barely would acknowledge me when she took my order. Okay. I figured it was 4:30 when I got there. She is probably just tired and it's busy. That's was fine. I thought. I asked her if I could get another soda in a few minutes when she brought my meal. She seemed irritated all over again. She ignored me from there on. Halfway through I said excuse me Miss? I was trying to just get her attention since she wouldn't make any eye contact after she dropped off my food. I had the empty glass at the end of the table for about 15 min into my meal. I saw her look over her shoulder and kept walking. I was like did I just see that? Okay. Then I see her bring a milk shake to the table next to me. She went to walk away again. I tried to flag her down again and said excuse me Miss? . She said I will be with you in a minute. With an abrupt dirty look and proceeds to take another tables order. It's a very small dining room which would normally add to the charm of this place. I was done with the meal for about five minutes she then brings me my soda. It seemed on purpose or passive aggressive. Like she was trying to put me in my place or something. It would have been nice to have this while eating my meal. I was thinking what is going on here? I asked her if she could just bring me the check. Why would I continue to ask for pie which was the only thing I wanted anyways after how weird this server was being. She proceeds to slam the check down and she sees I have a credit card in my hand and says pay me when you're ready and walks away again. I was thinking what is happening right now. When she came back I. asked her did I do anything to offend you? She went off. She got defensive and said she did nothing wrong. Do you want my manager? She said . I said no. I just wanted another soda and you seemed to be blatantly me. I don't need your Manager. Then she left and came back and said I don't like being yelled at. I was thinking this is crazy. I was like whaaaaaaaat? That is the one gosh Darn thing I asked for during that whole meal. Heaven for bid if you would give a person water with their meal. I left a $0.00. Usually I leave more than 20%. Wow just wow. The other server in the restaurant was as sweet as pie. She was so nice and friendly. I wished for that server instead. Maybe I would have gotten that darn pie.
