margaritas are the best!!!!!!! Prefer the locations with an actual bar but the food is good and love the atmos

Overpriced, trendy Gilbert taco shop. Nothing to write home about and not much more I can say. It wasn't bad, but not worth the hype or the prices. read more

Food is pretty decent and service is pretty quick. We enjoyed the different salsas and variety of proteins but I would consider the tacos on the pricier side for what you get. Overall the spot is a good eat if you are in a rush but there are more affordable options that are tastier. read more

I got the fish taco and the roasted pork I believe and the queso and chips. Fish taco was excellent, the pork was ok, do like the Cotija cheese it compliments the meat. The queso is amazing! Absolutely loved it and will be coming back just to randomly have it(: great customer service as well! read more

This place is a joke. Taco Bell is better. I'll be sticking with backyard taco. They are worried about us wearing a mask to order and pick our food up yet the rest of the restaurant isn't up to code to be open for the 6 ft rule. The nachos had little chicken and no melted cheese and tomato not much flavor. Hubby said tacos weren't worth coming back for not much flavor. read more

Impressed to say the least! There was plenty of taco options and various meets to pick from. The person who took our order was very friendly and the person who called our name was also very friendly and helpful. My husband and I both felt we got a good amount of meat and sauce for the price of the taco. Two things that prevent this place from being 5 stars in my opinion is the way quality of meat, don't get me wrong it was good and had flavor but the pork, beef and chicken just seemed like some of the flavor had been booked out of it. Although the shrimp was fresh from the grill and was perfect! Second thing was the taco was also semi cold , we ate right away and the tortilla and meat just wasn't hot! Overall I will be back and hopefully these two things will improve :) read more

Tried it on a whim for lunch on our way back home. A place like this deserves 5 stars. They have a varied, but not overly-complicated menu, food comes out fast, food is very good, and service is friendly. Whole place seems clean and cared for. The poblana, shrimp, rusty, and a few others are all great. They had a cheese crisp for the little one in the group, and lots of cold beer, fountain drinks, and Mexican sodas on ice too. Free refills on the chips and salsa is awesome. This place is going to replace backyard taco for our nearby taco shop if the quality and service stays this good. A few minor things but nothing that takes a star away: Thre green sauce is a little bland. The consistancy is a but slimy. It tasted fresh, but it didnt taste good. A little topping bar would send this place over the top. Pickled jalapenos, carrots and onions. Cucumbers. Chopped cilantro. Nothing crazy, but that'd be awesome. I'll also counter what some negative reviewers on here said. "They won't sell you guacamole itself if you already ordered chips and salsa." False. I just ordered chips and salsa and they sold me a side of guacamole. No issues. It was the cashier's idea. "No lettuce wrap option for keto diet." Well try some place that does offer them. You'll likely be often let down just walking in to a new place expecting them to cater to your specific/ niche diet. Search around (on Yelp! for keto places instead of giving someone a negative review for something they don't claim and aren't obligated to offer for you. read more

Omg I am so upset, ordered from here for the first time last night and received the team favorite taco undercooked and its chicken! Bit into the corner and the chicken was rubbery so I looked and it was definitely undercooked. We ordered the family meal and kids meal and mexican corn. On top of the undercooked chicken thats making my stomach upset right now we didn't receive our queso or drinks. Spent over 10 minutes on the phone with eric trying just trying to find my order when I called to report the issue. Anyways leaving stars since my family enjoyed the fish and shrimp tacos. The shrimp fajitas were too salty, now i have to call ubereats to take care of the issue since they can't take care of it in the restaurant apparently read more

We ordered online and had it delivered thru door dash. We got the 6 taco family meal that came with chips/salsa/queso and I ordered an extra chips/guacamole. When our order arrived it was missing the extra chips,however, the guacamole was included and was not edible. It was brown and could tell it wasn't fresh. The Tex mex taco we got was so greasy we could barely eat it. It seems the busier they get, the quality goes down. We love Rusty taco but will probably not go back for a little bit to see if they can handle what volume is coming in. read more

Rusty Taco - Guacamole - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Complete waste of time and money. If you are going to sell over priced tacos at least let the tacos be good. Horrible dry tortillas , little meat and overly topped with lettuce as a " filler". read more

Fun and open environment. Great selection on menu. Ordered shrimp and pork street tacos. They were delish. Came out within minutes of ordering. Good quick service. read more

Don't come!! Bad service & gave us 6 tacos of almost all pico and tomatoes and not a single meat. Other locations are better this one is trash. read more

One of my wife's favorite fast eats in the East Valley and this place is growing on me. We usually go around dinner time (5-7pm) and is usually pretty busy, where the line is often out the door on Friday and Saturday's. However, the line does move pretty quick. Check out the menu while waiting in line as they offer some unique types of tacos and the menu can be a bit overwhelming once you get to the register. The food does come out quickly (usually within a couple mins) once you place your order. And while it doesn't look like a lot of food, 2-3 tacos and a side of chips and guac and you won't leave hungry. My favorites are the #11 BBQ brisket taco (hold the slaw) and the #1 Picadillo taco. Note that the tacos are by default served on corn tortillas, which is what I always get, however, they also have flour tortillas on request. Tip: Since this place gets busy, instead of the wife and I both waiting in line, one of us will keep an eye out to snag an open table and just text the other their order. read more

Rusty Taco - Cache of tacos! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Lauren and Makayla did a great job making our nachos and tacos! They were super friendly and cute! The food was amazing. I sampled 6 different tacos. The Rusty and the chicken & bacon taco were worthy of many more visits read more

The cauliflower taco and green street taco was fabulous! Loved this place. The tater tots were good too

So went there apparently during the lunch rush and it was pretty darn packed. But I can see why! It took a little while for us to get the food. We ordered about 8 different tacos, churro, corn, and guac. Their fish is amazing and my favorite as well as their mexican corn. I was so excited that they had churros but I was a little bummed when I bit into it as it was filled with caramel and no where did it say that the churros were filled. Overall though it was a great place to grab some tacos. We'll be returning when it's not so packed. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED After reading the reviews I was hoping for much better than what I got. They do have a decent selection to choose from. I ordered 2 grilled fish and 2 chicken fajita tacos. All of them were VERY small. I was hungry so I ate them instead of sending them back. I have been in the restaurant business for many years and understand food cost and portion control but this was embarrassing. read more

Holy taco Batman! Pow, Ka-bam, Zonk! Incredible tacos, so many choices and such good flavor! My new Happy Place. The line is long for a reason, but the employees are crazy polite and helpful and it's worth it. read more

10 mins to order (2 people in front of me) and 10 mins to make 3 tacos. I let them know I wasn't happy and the line cook Carlos decided to respond with "would you like an application". No Carlos. I just want 3 tacos quicker than 20 mins. Ill be going to Torchys right around the corner from now on. read more

Dang good tacos! The Fish Taco is my favorite... but the Tres Grande?!?! You gotta try that! Chips, salsa, guacamole and queso?!?! #Yummy Very family friendly read more

Tried this place because I was so disappointed with backyard taco the last few times I was there and this is a similar concept BUT let me tell you this place is sooo much better! I've been a few time now and it's my new favorite taco place! I try to try a few new things every time but my fave is the Rusty taco! All the tacos meats are marinated so good and flavorful! Definitely try it! And get the margaritas they are good! read more

I've been here 2x now and after yesterday, I won't be back. Some of their menu items are really good - pretty flavorful tacos, queso has a good kick, and you can't beat a $5 margarita. Other items aren't so great, like the guac is pretty salty, salsa is average, and their veggie tacos aren't too exciting. However, I went in yesterday and ordered a shrimp taco. The shrimp and Baja sauce on it were super flavorful and I was enjoying eating it. A few bites in, I notice some large brown spots in the taco. Upon opening it up to look, there were hunks of meat in it. I eat fish every once in a while (like when I'm out somewhere with great fish tacos!), but I haven't eaten meat in years. To see such large pieces of it in the food I was currently eating was disgusting to me. I went up to the counter and showed the employee working and the music was SO loud in the place that I'm not sure if she even heard me, and I definitely didn't hear her respond at all. She walked over to the other employee putting together the tacos and they inspected what I presume was the shrimp container to see if there was meat in it and then brought me another taco. Again, saying nothing (if she did, I sure couldn't hear her over the loud music). While I appreciate that she made me another taco, I was nauseous trying to finish the rest of my meal thinking about how I just definitely ate meat. It also would have been nice to hear an apology just to provide some customer service. When I go out to eat, I trust a restaurant to provide me with food that I order and as a pescatarian, if there's no meat listed on the item I order, then I definitely don't expect to accidentally eat meat! I give 3 stars because some things are actually pretty good here, but if I can't trust you not to cross contaminate good like that, then I won't be coming back. I hope they follow up on this to explain to their employees how important it is to be careful when making the food. When it's such a small street taco that you're putting a few things on, there's absolutely no reason that this should occur. read more

Absolutely delicious! Great atmosphere and the staff was amazing. I had the vegan black bean taco with a side of chips and guacamole AND a Margarita which was all fantastic! The habanero salsa was very good too! Definitely planning a trip back. read more

We went to Rustys tacos for dinner which was a busy time. The staff members were working hard to fill the orders as fast as possible. We sat in front of the window to the view of the kitchen and got to watch them make all of the tacos. Everyone was friendly and looked happy to be working here. The tacos were good so we plan on coming back! read more

Rusty Taco - On the left is a true Tex mex taco, and on the right is a tex mex taco substitute for steak - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We ate well for 20 bones. Good food, lots of options, tasty and fresh guacamole and salsa. Place was crazy packed on a Friday night at 6pm but service was crisp and pleasant. We will be back esp since this is a great and less expensive option compared to the very good (but more costly) Pescado Borracho. read more

Food here was reasonably price but for tacos they didn't taste that great and their salsa is very plain I would still recommend it cuz I'm just super picky when it comes to tacos. The more authentic the better I say it was like white people tacos lol read more

I love this place! It's so much fun for group date nights! I love the picnic table seating!! I love ordering at the counter, the chip platters of unlimited chips! The tacos are fun & unique. I got the rusty taco bowl! I love that they added bowls to the menu. My fav!!! My husband is OBSESSED with the team fav- fried chicken taco! He can't get enough! This will remain a go-to date spot for us! read more

OK, have to give a HUGE shout out to this place. The food is delicious. Prices are fabulous. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. We have been here 2 nights in a row. What a great new addition to the dining scene here in Gilbert. Rusty Taco is our new favorite without a doubt. If you haven't tried it get in here. You won't be disappointed.. Enjoy.... read more

Service great. Very clean. Tortillas cold. Food expensive. Flavors average. Highly recommend to visit elsewhere if you have the choice.

Extremely clean. The food is great. Love the shrimp tacos. Does it get better? Service is exceptional. I placed an order to go. I left saying - I hope the food is as good as the service. I wasn't disappointed. read more

Really enjoyed the Rusty Taco (Al pastor) and steak fajita. Good place for lunch with my family

Had Rusty Taco for lunch yesterday...little behind on writing the review. Overall, we really liked it! We tried several different tacos (Rusty, Picadillo, Brisket, grilled fish and fried fish), as well as chips w guacamole and queso. Highest praise to the queso, delicious! Chips were also good, salty and crispy! I LOVED the rusty taco and the fish tacos were both really good. I would say average rating on the picadillo and brisket...both were kind of bland. We did a mix of flour and corn tortillas, both were good. We got the food to go, but noticed the restaurant was really clean and trendy, sort of a Chipotle feel...complete w beers and margaritas! If you're in the mood for fast casual tacos, this is a great spot...will definitely be back w a goal to try all the tacos! I didn't get pics because I ate them too fast ...next time for sure! read more

Walking into this taco joint I took in the loud talking, music and energetic atmosphere. It was opening night so I was happy to see a crowd already patronizing the establishment. I took a quick glance at the menu online before we went so I knew what I wanted - two grilled fish tacos and a margarita. But then ... what do my wandering eyes should appear but a fried chicken taco! Are u kidding me??? Sounds weird but being an expert on delicious and crispy chicken tenders I had to test it out. I def suggest u try this item! It was crunchy with the perf amount of sauce and cilantro. I really enjoyed the thin corn tortillas too. We started out with the trio grande - guac, salsa and queso with chips. The salsa was incredible and more like a thick hot sauce than a chunky salsa. The quac was fresh and thick with tomato and onion, tased very much like the simple and delish guac the way it should be, not too much added seasonings or lemon that u get at a lot of places. The queso was blah but queso is not my thing so whatev. We ordered 7 tacos and two margaritas on the rocks along with our appy was 39 bucks. My hub and I are not big fans of ordering at the counter and waiting for our food and Rusty Taco reminded us why. Half way thru our dinner I had to get up, stand in line and wait 5 to 10 mins to get more drinks. Their orange creamy habanero sauce left me no other choice, it's freakin FIRE! My husband loved it. So that's a downside to not having table service but what ya gonna do. We didn't have a taco that we didn't like. Service was friendly. Tiny two top tables scattered around way too close to one another and the food comes on huge trays so the whole time ur eating ur trying to reach around things and not knock stuff off the table. Not sure if we'll be back but it's def some quality tacos. read more

On a Saturday morning when my wife wanted breakfast and I wanted lunch this was the perfect compromise. They serve their breakfast tacos all day! Their chips were standard but the fresh made guacamole was delicious. Unfortunately that was the only thing that really wowed me. The prices were typical for street tacos and the restaurant was clean with friendly staff. However, the food wasn't as good as I expected for a place this busy. I had the chicken fajita taco, which was basically grilled, not very well seasoned chicken with some pico on a dry stiff corn tortilla. My Baja shrimp taco was mildly better thanks to their Baja sauce, but still not great. I would probably go to Backyard Tacos before coming here again. But my true love is Sandbar Tacos. Being a taco connoisseur is hard work. read more

Best queso ever!! Friendly fast service, good food!! Would highly recommend! You won't regret

Great tacos. Not too bad on the price. Most people will have to order two to three tacos. I had three and I feel satisfied. Good vibe and atmosphere. read more

Very good food and lots of choices, will come here many more times when I'm in the area. Very good !

Stopped by here over the weekend after doing some shopping. I got (3) tacos - (2) chicken fajita tacos and (1) Rajas taco. The tortillas were hard around the edges. Portions are a decent size. They serve breakfast tacos in the morning. read more
