I just ordered breakfast tacos from this place and my order was wrong. The order was missing ingredients on 2 of the 3 tacos I paid the extra money for. I called to see if I could get this situation fixed. The lady who answered the phone was extremely rude and condescending!! She proceeded to tell me that the ticket didn't show the added ingredients. I told her I currently have the ticket and the receipt in hand and can see both. Then she proceeds to tell me she sees it? Then 2 seconds later tells me she doesn't see it again? Terrible experience. Her attitude alone is enough to make me never want to buy food here again and the food isn't worth the hassle like some places. read more

Very average tacos! I've gone with my friends a couple of times and we've all been underwhelmed! I've been the most unimpressed as their vegetarian options are very limited and quite boring! The two salsas are good, but I'd rather find myself some authentic Mexican than stumble in here most days. read more

I went the other day and noticed the floor was super sticky like it hadn't been mopped forever. If you look next door at scooters compared to this establishment you will notice the lack of cleanliness. The food wasn't that great either. Highly disappointed! You can do better ! read more

Great atmosphere and amazing food. Lots of different options and great taste. I've never gotten anything I was disappointed with. The margaritas have great taste, but are a little on the soft side if you know what I mean. read more

Love the new location! Food is delicious and so are the margaritas! They also have a great happy hour menu

I just went here for the first time. I live in Lincoln and was excited about the concept of this place. They do everything from breakfast to dinner, vegan to barbecue, and the have a full bar or coffee. We got chips and queso, #5,6,8,9,11 and a steak and egg breakfast taco. We had a coke and they had fresh lime for it which was lovely. The chips were made fresh and had the perfect amount of salt, and the queso was creamy with just the right level of spice. And they offered to refill our chips (no extra charge). The tacos were DEVINE! Literally we had 6 tacos between the two of us (we were both very hungry) and we both thought they were all fantastic and we finished all of it. The prices were reasonable and the service was great. These tacos are definitely big so 2 each would have been plenty but they were so good we at 3 each! We will be back often because this is now one of my favorite places to eat in Lincoln! Also they cater so... that'll probably happen for me at some point to. read more

Rusty Taco - #5,6,8,9,11 and a steak and egg breakfast taco - Tacos Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

See all

A great place to come in and grab some margaritas. Tacos are fresh and queso is delicious. Had wonderful service from Madilyn. Definitely going back!! read more

Not worth your time. Maybe to go get s***faced before a big game since I've seen their prices on margaritas and it seems extremely low, so good on them. Tacos are really nothing special. I tried four kinds and honestly it was difficult to differentiate or even point out one versus the other. Not gonna go back because idgaf about college sports, or street tacos apparently. read more

Omg! This place is legit. The tacos are amazing! Also, one of the best queso and guacamole I've ever eaten! Definitely recommend!

I placed my order online and was super excited that right when I walked in it was ready to go! The only issue I had was that I put a request for the queso on one of my tacos to be on the side, but they weren't able to see this request when making my tacos so be careful if you can't eat specific foods it might be better to just call the order in. However, they were very good at helping me and sorted out the situation quickly! While their tacos are really good they just don't compare to tacos back home thats why I gave them 4 stars, but for Lincoln I think these are the best tacos around! read more

We tried the Rusty Taco on a Saturday night. I ordered the Picadillo Taco and the Roasted Pork Taco and added the habanero sauce to both. I enjoyed the Picadillo Taco more than the pork one but both were good. My husband had the BBQ Brisket Taco and the Texican Taco and he thought that the brisket taco was a lot better than the Texican. I thought that they were good tacos at a good price. I think that I'll be back for their happy hour. Domestics are $2 from 4-7 pm and "fancy" beers are $3. read more

Ive went to Rusty taco to grab a margarita in the past and have always sat at the bar to order. I went in today and sat for over 5 minutes only for the manager to come over to tell us we have to order at the other counter. Get up as a server is coming to the bar, I asked her where we were supposed to order and she said the bar was fine. Come to find out the manager was to preoccupied because his family was there eating to pour us pre - made margaritas out of the dispenser. read more

Nice prices, friendly and helpful staff. Pretty good churros. Cheap beer. Would go back if I lived in Nebraska

I've only been here once and can't wait to come back. The tacos were AMAZING. So flavorful and filling! I tried quite a few of them, can't remember but the fried chicken one is soooo good. I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. I can't wait to come back and try more!! read more

Horrible! This place is the worst tacos in town! If you're a college kid or white and never ate good authentic tacos this place will fool you on what's good and not good! was aweful. Disgusting and horrendous! If you like eating here you're taco taste is so misconstrued it's unbelievable, this place is a disappointment go to el Chaparro for real Mexican tacos this is the white mans version and they fucked it up royally. Fuzzy's is better than this place! read more

Have only been here once since they opened but enjoyed the variety and quality of the tacos. We took the family and everyone had their favorites already. I really enjoyed the fish tacos and the pulled pork tacos, and my daughter really enjoyed the two breakfast tacos she had. Make sure to try the different hot sauces they have in the fridge next to the soda, they add a little zip and flavor to the tacos. Overall better than the other taco joints I have been to with value that is the same if not better. Great location next to the children's museum with cool and welcoming interior. read more

I've been here multiple times, but most of those times were right when the establishment opened. The tacos for lunch and dinner are really good, but a little pricey. That being said, the student discounts and specials are great! I love the roasted pork taco and all of the breakfast tacos. However, I did not enjoy the tacos with steak in them. They were really difficult to chew and were not very good cuts of meat. The chips and queso are bomb (and the chips are bottomless!). The margaritas are okay. Definitely not very strong, but still tasty! The service is always hit or miss. Sometimes you get the really nice owner and other times it's staff that aren't quite as friendly as you'd expect for a customer service based establishment. The building itself is very cool and fun! Overall, there is room for improvement in the customer service and some of the food items, but we will definitely be back!! read more

Rusty Taco - House Margarita - Tacos Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Awesome food and margaritas. Get the blood orange. Chips and guacamole are amazing as is the shrimp tacos.

Rusty Taco is probably my favorite taco joint. My favorite taco is the potato egg and cheese and the fried chicken taco! They have a full bar and awesome staff! I recommend Rusty Taco to everyone read more

Good time. Cashier was the cutest little sweetheart and extremely helpful about all of their menu options! (One cashier didn't have a mask though?) Food was pretty good. Definitely a good place for great customer service and some good tacos! read more

Tried their tacos for the first time recently- they were delicious! The tacos are priced cheaply, as they are small. Good for a light meal, or order 3 for a meal! Ask for all of their sauces- they are amazing! The service was great. The restaurant was clean, and trendy with some fun signage. A great addition close to campus and right downtown! read more

The tacos have very unique and delicious flavors - my new favorite in downtown Lincoln - highly recommend giving them a try!!

The service is AWESOME!!! And food is even better would definitely be back and it's also connected to Scooter's Coffee win win

i ordered the dynamite shrimp and the baja shrimp tacos they were really good i also recommend the chips and queso!!

LOVE LOVE this little place. 10/10 recommend the fried chicken taco and the crispy shrimp taco. Their margaritas are sooooo tasty. They are street style tacos so it usually takes 2 to fill me up. I love ordering queso to split as well. Their tortillas are okay but the flavor is spot on. I am quickly becoming a regular. read more

In the old wahoos location. Several taco choices. We had grilled fish and pablano and mushroom tacos. Really good. Great cheap place to have tacos and beers. Also had some chips and guacamole. Chips and queso also delicious. Again cheap and really good. My wife had a margarita and said it was pretty tastey. Staff was really friendly and has a fun atmosphere with the bar and outdoor seating. I would think this place would be super popular with unl kids. Sad to see wahoos go but this place is a great replacement. read more

My wife and I have gone a few times now and love their Baja grilled shrimp taco! We've not found others we like as much unfortunately. Only bad thing is the tacos can run on the small side sometimes. read more

I've tried most of the tacos on the menu. I haven't found one yet that isn't delicious! The service is always super friendly. Just a nice place to kick back and enjoy a margarita and some tacos with friends. read more

Our go-to place for street tacos. Unique options that we enjoy. Great for a quick bite before enjoying a show at the Lied, Rococo or Grand.

Came into Lincoln from Columbia mo and loved rusty taco! If you've been to fuzzys taco shop it's kind of the same vibe, but the tacos are more authentic. I would definitely come back! They do love their cabbage tho. There is so much in each taco, and the kids quesadilla comes with a side of cabbage! Or more like the cabbage comes with a side quesadilla! Anywho great place! And the waitress gave me a free cup! read more

Ehhhhh not impressed with this place at all. It sucks cuz i live right by it and have to walk by it all the damn time and reminisce on the days I could get a banzai bowl from Wahoos. God damn that was amazing. Wahoos (which used to be where this poor quality place is now occupying) was sooo sooo so much better smh. I went here (rusty taco) 3 times and each time I got different tacos and each time the food was edible. Nothing more nothing less. Went there when it first opened to try it out and it was not good especially for the price, like 3 bucks a taco almost i think for whatever the fuck i got. I gave it benefit of the doubt and decided to go back. Not any better but not any worse either. Told myself I wouldnt go back after that but i was walking home pretty stoned and said eh why not give it one more try considering they specialize in tacos and surely the 3rd time going here they would be decent at least. Boiii i was wrong. I got 2 tacos that cost me $6 and a bad heartburn. Nah i aint spending my mula here. Doritos locos tacos are far better. read more

Loved the food!! I was sad when Wahoo's closed, but am very pleased with this replacement!!! I had a beef fajita and spicy picadillo taco. Both were delicious and the staff was helpful about allergens. I've been here twice and was slightly turned off both times by very loud (read: yelling) conversations in the kitchen in sight of my table. Employees being yelled at by management for how dirty and "gross" their food stations are, not rinsing equipment well when cleaning, etc. Also lots of loud, criticizing conversations *about* employees and former employees by name -- being called idiots, useless, etc. It was just a little off-putting... I'm guessing they probably didn't know their voices were carrying through the dining room sooo well, otherwise they probably wouldn't have been so loud about cleanliness issues. I kept looking at other patrons (families with kids) to see if they were uncomfortable by the swearing and yelling too. I even made eye contact with the employees involved, but they kept on going. I'll be back because the food was so good and the staff was so friendly when I was ordering, but this is something to work on. read more

Came to this place with my family and friends. The dining area has nice decor to it but the food had no favor, the cashier named Caleb was unprofessional and seemed to be forcing me to leave him a tip after using my credit card which made me uncomfortable and want to leave without my food. My eggs were hard and had no flavor of pepper or salt to it. I noticed the young lady Adessa according to my friends receipt who was on another register was real pleasant and was the only cashier helping get chips and queso for guests and calling out food orders. One of the guys in the kitchen was yelling at the crew so loud the whole dining area heard it. The tacos were well put together besides the eggs not being any good. The manager or owner not sure which one he was heard being rude to employees by my child which isn't good for business so overall I rate them a -1 for the all bad things I've noticed. I own my own restaurant business and if this one plans on staying in business it might need new owners and employees who actually care about more than tips and want to give customers great service. read more
