    Spicy sober shrimp taco
    Lydia M.

    The food is delicious! The spicy sober shrimp taco is so delicious, I want it all the time. The service is a bit slow and could definitely use some work, but I know the restaurant is newer so I'm sure they are still working out some kinks. Ambiance is okay. Food is a five for sure and service is a three for now

    If you are looking for a unique dining experience I would highly recommend Rustic Taco. Our server was very helpful. She was happy to answer any questions we had about the menu and gave great recommendations. We each ordered two tacos and we were surprised by how large they were. I ordered the 3 B's Taco and Sober Spicy Shrimp Taco. The flavor combinations were strong and delivered exactly what was described in the menu. I was given a 3rd taco because the Spicy Shrimp taco delivered was not double wrapped (hard shell and soft shell) as I ordered it. I thought it was great they corrected this with a free one without me even asking for this. Our table was also given chips and salsa upon arriving. The only aspect I did not enjoy was the restroom. It was very outdated and the stall has a huge gap where you can see inside. I feel the restroom does not match the overall decor and design of the restaurant which is very clean. Bathroom gives off dive bar vibes and could use an update.

    Good service, clean restaurant, chill bar atmosphere. Tacos were delicious. I loved the variety and freshness. Wish I had one of these places where I live!

    Great service with a friendly attitude. We have come here twice within a month. Servers are always super accommodating and friendly. Not to mention the margaritas are amazing. I would say the tacos are okay. It depends on which one you get. We came here during canal days with our 8 month old son in a stroller and they were able to find us a spot with him. That alone and the margaritas will keep me coming back to this location.

    Who doesnt love tacos? This is an amazing spot for creative cuisine served attentively with friendly staff as well as tequila. Definitely recommend.

    Rootstock Pork Tacos
    Danielle S.

    I tried Rustic Taco Bar at the Roc Holiday Village and got the Rootstock Pork Tacos, which also came with salsa and chips. I loved the salsa, it was fresh and had a hint of heat. The tacos themselves were just okay. The portion size was huge, I was full after just one, so you could definitely split an order (comes with two) with someone. The pork is cooked in Rootstock Original Cider but I unfortunately couldn't really taste any notes of that. The pork itself didn't taste like it had much flavoring at all. The chipotle crema was the majority flavor, which was delicious, but I was hoping for more flavor from the meat, too. They have a lot of creative combos on their menu and I would definitely return to try more.

    Great place to eat. Love the atmosphere. The staff was friendly. The food was not typical Mexican cuisine. They have a very compelling menu, and the Tuesday specials are awesome.

    This is a really cool unique place. They're sort of Mexican and that they have tacos but that's where the Mexican part ends. Their tacos are very unique. Ingredients mixed together, they come open faced so you can see everything. Bring your appetite for sure. Turns out on Tuesdays they have a musician as well. So bring your selections of old time songs or songs you want to hear someone sing.

I love a good burrito. I couldn't get over the different temps in my burrito. The carnitas were warm and piping and the rice was refrigerator cold. It was an odd mix and even with traveling to Mexico, I haven't experienced two extreme differences in temp inside the burrito. We ordered chips and guacamole AND chips and salsa. Our order came out with 1 basket of chips and then when we asked about the chips for the guacamole, we were charged for the chips. It's odd. It literally says on the menu that chips come with both items. We were there with family so the intention was to split the appetizers. The house margarita was phenomenal and my son said his tacos were great. It's a miss this time for us. The location is gorgeous.

We ordered the ceviche as an appetizer which was nice and limey- perhaps too many onions and rather large pieces. We also tried the popstar cocktail which was good- quite strong. For mains we ordered the taco plate with shrimp, chicken tinga, and lengua, plantains and potatoes. I liked the chicken and shrimp tacos the best. The carnitas platter was also very good! I thought that parts of the pork were a tad on the dry side but this is quickly remedied by pairing it with the beans and guac. Now, the star of the show and the reason this review has 4 stars and not 3 is the chipotle chocolate cake. I was expecting the chipotle/pepper flavor to be completely overpowered by the chocolate cake. However, the peppery taste came through! It wasn't spicy per se but it had a very mild kick but was just noticeable enough. The texture of the cake was also great- not your typical flourless chocolate cake, more custardy and creamy almost. Overall, would recommend! Food was solid- I thought the tacos and ceviche were better than the carnitas platter. The cake was the star of the show!

    Tacos CDMX has the best street-style tacos in the entire Ithaca area, hands down. I moved here…read moreafter 20+ yrs in California where food truck tacos are not only a staple, but an edible art form that is both approachable and cherished. Here, the food is never prepared in an overly curated-for-Instagram-but-empty-inside kind of way, but rather with a focus on simple ingredients prepared with care in a slow-food way that emphasizes their deep, rich flavor. My favorite is the Al pastor taco with pineapple, a combo of guacamole and chipotle salsas, with fried cheese added on top of the diced onions and cilantro. To die for!! And still only $5 each. This afternoon, after eating literally hundreds of their tacos over the last few years, I tried their smash burger. Absolutely outstanding! Might be the best burger in town as well, it's honestly that good. And only $10! A few weeks ago I had a burger from a local restaurant for $20, which seems to be the going rate, and it paled in comparison to their oh!-so-tasty-you-can't-stop-licking-your-fingers burger! And if you ask, they'll customize it for you with a fried egg, or in my case, with lots of extra fried onions. Their torta sandwiches have also garnered a cult following due to their packed ingredients and massive size, still just for $14. If you're lucky, in the warmer months Eduardo might be serving some of his delicious aqua frescas, or even better, some of his incredible lemonade beverages. Sooooo refreshing! The bonus: you get to hang out with these cool and friendly guys Eduardo & Carlos, as well as their friendly staff who work so hard to make your food so delicious. This place is truly an Ithaca treasure! And more good news: they just moved (May 2026) from Press Bay Alley (118 W Green St) to Press Bay Court (114 W Green St), where they now offer plenty of indoor seating, a big improvement over the old place that only had room for a handful of people at a time. Their outdoor seating has grown as well, and the overall ambiance is more festive and fun. Do yourself a favor - go get some of those mouth-watering tacos, and definitely try the smash burger!
