My once-favorite local taco place has regained a place in my heart. It seems like a complete change in management and personnel. Food came out reasonably fast, and the quality is up there where it should be. Shrimp tacos are good, with properly cooked shrimp. Chicken tacos are also good, though I wish they still had the spicy version available. Regardless, thumbs up. I'm a customer once again. read more

DON'T TIP HERE. The tips they automatically suggest when paying with your card go to the franchisee/owner! Not the staff. The food and service is fine. In fact the staff here is very sweet and deserving. Such a let down to learn that yet another place is trying to stack money on top of the already higher costs. read more

Food was extremely cold. Food had no flavor, and the refried beans looked very unappealing... wouldn't come back at all. From Texas but still tried to put my bias aside but food was just awful. It also smelled like mop water. read more

Rusty Taco - Tacos Near Me - Maumee, Ohio

Work got me out here in Toledo/Maumee for the week. Coworker wanted tacos and Don Juan's heat was broken, so Rusty here we are. Fast casual taco spot that sells alcohol. Industrial vibe with a healthy dose of brown and steel, or silver atmosphere. Not bad looking for fast casual. Wait staff was friendly, attentive, nice, and helpful. Any questions were answered and any needed assistance was provided. Three of us had two birria tacos, one corn and one flour order. Flour tacos were larger, wish corn and flour were the same size. Both came absolutely loaded to the gills with onions so if you can't eat them ask for none ahead of time. Otherwise you'll be like me spending 15 minutes scraping them off all three tacos. Flavor wise was fine, need some salt. The other guy got BBQ brisket taco and another, looked pretty good but not sure what kind or quality the sauce was. Price, not bad for a single taco but not great. Around $4 a piece that's a little too high considering. Also liked the fact you could take a few beers away for later. Not bad overall but room for improvement. read more

I pray my status of Yelp Elite displays a sense of credibility and value as you choose where to spend your hard earned money on a meal. Do not trust a single one of these good reviews!! My friend chose this place for a work lunch and I complied, despite my reservations after scouring Yelp. We entered around 2pm, and it was dead. We should've taken that as our first sign... We approached the order counter and were greeted by the NICEST and most helpful employee! He was a young man, brown hair, very tall, probably 18-25. Wish we got his name so we could applaud his service more appropriately. He informed me the paper menus were not as up-to-date as their electronic one overhead, and volunteered help with any questions we would have. He was very knowledgeable about the menu! So we ordered and it came to $35 for two young petite women. We did not go overboard, as to watch our figure. Well, my friend did not enjoy her breakfast tacos. She put some habanero salsa on one of them and it was so spicy that she almost vomited. My birria tacos were a little charred on the outside but I appreciate how the meal was made-to-order. The meat and cheese were cooked PERFECTLY and so tender, and the cheese pulls were lovely. However, they were so bland. I'm not sure what I was even eating, what animal it was, but it had absolutely no flavor. The chips and salsa we got to share, AGAIN, flavorless. I'm so confused with how this place retains customers. I'm from Arizona and used to very exceptional Mexican food, and they definitely had potential, but it's like there isn't a single seasoning in the entire building. My friend mentioned how the green salsa tasted like "dishwater" and my consomé for the birria was THICK? Like a tomato paste? And it had a steel, chemically flavor. I couldn't eat any of it. I was so incredibly disappointed. I didn't even have the appetite for my last taco. My friend is not picky at ALL, so I felt very validated when even SHE expressed her disgust in it. Overall, the workers and service are stellar. The gentleman was amazing and prepared our food perfect, but the restaurant overall lacked major flavor. Wouldn't return here if it was the last place on earth. read more

I love Rusty Taco! I first ate at a location when I was out west, and fell in love immediately. I don't know how long they've been around, but I think their a newer chain of fast casual taco places. So, it's a mandatory stop when I'm near one to stop in and eat. The menu's pretty decent and they have a great selection of items to choose from. I've tried a variety of different tacos while here, and today I went with the brisket tacos and queso dip. The gal working the counter was super efficient and helpful with putting my order together quickly and accurately. With my two tacos, queso dip and a fountain drink, the bill came to about $14 or so. Not cheap, but well worth it since the food here is actually pretty decent. If you're in the area and want good eats, stop in here. They literally have something for everyone. I also know that they have breakfast burritos that they serve all day, but I haven't tried them yet. Just another reason to come back and visit them again! read more

Darn good tacos! Rusty taco has a short menu and the tacos are very fresh tasting. I ordered a grilled shrimp taco, a grilled fish taco, and a beef taco. I honestly don't think I could have picked a favorite. Each of them was excellent for their own reasons. I like how you got to pick out different types of salsa that felt it tasted very fresh. Even after eating three tacos himself, my husband went back up and ordered two more. Update: been here several times and my review remains at five stars. BUT this time we had a churro for dessert. I have had a few churros in my lifetime but this one was fantastic! Crispy exterior. Soft inside. read more

We had been made aware of this new chain recently. This was our first time to try it and we were generally favorably impressed. The location just off I-475 at the Dussel Rd. exit was convenient. It was off the main road in a well-kept strip plaza, but was not hard to spot. The facility was nice as they appeared to be going for a rustic cantina feel. It was a walk-up-and-order format and there was also a bar offering cervezas, margaritas, etc. The service was decent though it did take a little longer than I would have expected for our tacos to come up as it was not that busy. It was not too far out of line, however. This place met our needs at the time perfectly as I was moderately hungry while my wife was only slightly hungry. In that respect, this place scales well. We started with an order of chips and salsa to share. My wife had a BBQ Beef Brisket taco while I had a Steak, Egg and Cheese Taco and a Black Bean, Egg and Cheese Taco. We both had positive things to say about our fare and the portions were perfect. The prices were quite fair. With water to drink, tax and a small tip, our final bill was $14. At $7 per person, I was very happy with this value. This experience was more than good enough for us to give it another try. read more

We have been loyal Rusty Taco patrons in Maumee, Ohio visiting almost weekly for more than three years. The mgmt of this store has declined considerably and our most recent visit today, 12/29, may have been the last. The place was filthy both behind the counter and in the dining area. Our food was cold, it was horrible. This location will not last if something does not change. Very sad. read more

I swore off chains during the pandemic in an effort to shop and eat small, but I broke my rule for Rusty Taco. It couldn't have been better! The margaritas are good- not winning any awards but better than expected. They have a great beer selection on tap. I don't think I've ever seen Modelo on tap in Ohio. The tacos are made to order, think subway for tacos with a grill. We had 5 tacos between the two of us and they were all great. The brisket was probably my favorite. The food is fast and affordable and they seem to be taking covid seriously. read more

We were passing through town on a trip via the 80 tollway. Stopped for the night at a local hotel. Decided that Rusty Taco was a close walk. As it's in a strip mall, it was an easy walk along the path. The cashier was very helpful with the menu. They answered many questions and were willing to customize some of the tacos to the taste of a teen (aka no vegetables). I had the #10 Crispy Chicken Taco and a Breakfast Taco. While the #10 was good, the breakfast taco was definitely my favorite. I also had a strawberry margarita. It was exceptionally frozen. Had to wait several minutes to be able to use a straw. The kid's menu was very limited. The only options were quesadilla or chicken and potatoes. While it was only $2.99, the serving of chicken was very small. The guacamole was great. Be sure to add that if you are looking for a side! read more

Cafeteria tacos that aren't worth the price. The service was ok. The ambiance wasn't there. They could use a good healthy clean of the restaurant, too. read more

The food was good. I ordered the fish taco, carnitas and the brisket. The 4 stars are for the food. Understand that these tacos are small and based on "street tacos". So when you enter the restaurant, you order first then find your table, and listen for your name. You will notice that there is a steady stream of customers. When I went it was busy and the helpers struggled to keep up....even my margarita took a awhile to make. From where I stood, no one was ordering alcoholic drinks so there was no reason for the tardiness. So the service was disappointing. Overall, the food was better than most. It's made fresh and the habanero sauce was very spicy. It's difficult to find a dine-in restaurant in this area and I was desperate for a sit-down place. Kinda tired of eating in my hotel room. My friend suggested this place and it didn't disappoint for fast food. They also served "breakfast" all day...so you can order a breakfast burrito for dinner. read more

At the time of visiting they had 3 stars and I think it's very fitting. The place is fairly new, if I remember correctly. I remember finding out about it some time last year and thinking it's pretty close to where I live so I should give it a try.. Didn't get around to it until yesterday when we were around town. *Everything* was average. Price was average. Service was average. Mango/watermelon margarita was average. Hot sauces were average. And most importantly, tacos were average. No to say they were bad, but there are just too many other taco places within 5-10 minutes vicinity that I would much rather go, including one across the street, I don't think I would ever feel the need to come back here. read more

I did genuinely enjoy this place. The brisket, fish, fried chicken, and the fajita tacos are great and the chips and salsa is delicious. The problem is... it's a whole lotta money for not a ton of food. I never feel like I'm actually getting my money's worth. I mean, at least give me more than 10 chips and a taco bigger than a baby fist. Again, it all tastes great, and if someone else is buying, have at it! I just wish you got more for the cost. read more

Cool looking place inside so a star for that. Everything else is bad. The tacos have no flavor in any of the varieties offered, salsa you have to pay for with chips (how you know it isn't authentic Mexican food!) tastes like it came from a company that makes salsa for food service with no authenticity. This place I fine I'm sure for a quick bite but don't think of it as "Mexican food" because is surely isn't that. read more

Great little spot for a nice brunch. Sat at bar and watched a game on tv, had a margarita and a couple breakfast tacos. Made one a bowl which was A+. Queso is solid too. read more

I contemplated giving rusty taco a 3 vs 4 star review. This was our first time here and I didn't know what to expect. I would explain it to someone as a nicer scale Taco Bell? It's definitely not a top 5 Toledo area Mexican restaurant but the food was decent. We found the menu to be a little underwhelming and pricey for the portions. The trio appetizer did come with chip refills which was nice and probably our favorite part of the meal. I got the grilled fish tacos and hubby got a #1 in salad form. They did have Coke Zero. read more

I really like this place. They are super fast. All you need is 5-10 mins to sit down, eat, and be out the door. I liked all the tacos I tried and really liked the habanero hot sauce. They have a cute bar off to the side with a decent amount of seating. This is not a table service restaurant. You order with the cashier and when your food is ready they call your name to pick it up and take to whatever table you choose. I took off 1 star because although the tacos were very good, I didn't get my mind blown. read more

Great spot for dinner! My family and I were driving through ohio and needed a nearby takeout spot for dinner. We ended up picking Rusty Taco. We walked in around 5:30pm and ordered three tacos each. We watched as the workers put tortillas on the grill and cooked up the fillings before our eyes. Being from out of state we didn't realize this establishment was a chain restaurant. Regardless everything was great! The tacos themselves were flavorful, but some were a little under-filled. My fish taco only had a couple sad pieces of fish inside, but my shrimp taco had a hearty amount of shrimps. A conscious was reached that the fish taco and rusty taco were the best ones off the menu! The tacos may look small but they are surprisingly filling. We ordered three each and shared a large chips and guac. After eating two tacos each we all realized we could probably have just gotten two tacos and shared the guac. Rusty Taco is COVID safe! There were only two workers behind the counter and they were wearing masks properly. The tables were properly spaced indoors. read more

Holy smokes these "tacos" are teeny tiny. For the price and size m, tack bell is literally better priced and bigger. The size of each taco is about the size of my palm. Maybe like a 6" taco across. Def not Mexican street tacos. Meat inside was minuscule. We had to order like 5 tacos each to fill us up. Some tacos had 2 tortillas and others had one. The grilled fish taco was crazy spicy. Best of the lot we ordered was the chicken fajita. Save your $ and go to the 'bell We also ordered a kids quesadilla and I had to laugh at the size. read more

The taco selection was great. They have something for everyone. Not sure what to expect when I walked in after a long day of travel, I decided I would take a more traditional approach - I tried (2) chicken and (1) beef along with a side of guacamole. The guac did not taste fresh and needed some more seasoning, however the chips were fresh. While waiting for my order, I tasted a beer from the area and it was nice, cold and refreshing. I will make another visit since I will be in town for awhile. I'll update after my next visit. read more

The tacos were okay. Definitely needed to add salt to most. For $3+ per taco I was a bit disappointed in the amount of fillings in some. The chorizo egg and cheese was mostly egg - you couldn't really even taste the chorizo. The pork with pineapple (the Rusty taco) was definitely the best. Chips and salsa were great - Especially when the chips were warm! read more

Great tacos !!!! I had a brisket taco and black bean taco both on homemade tortillas. Place is clean and help is friendly service is great.

It was our 1st time here. Tacos are delicious. Well, the #1 and the #13 are anyway. Queso and chips got my vote as well. I shall be back! read more

There was no paper towels in the bathroom so I came oht and dried my hands with a napkin at one of the tables. I then saw an empty cup sitting on the counter, where I was about to buy a beer and put the napkin in the empty cup. 20 seconds later a red headed lady who worked there walked up to me, called me an asshole and told me to use my brain because a trash can was behind their counter. If you had better facilities, I would not have put a napkin in the empty cup. Terrible people, terrible food, worse place in Dayton, OH. read more

This is a great place for good quality tacos. This was my first time here and I will definitely be back in because the food was healthy and very delicious. We decided to try there desert and that was also very delicious. I recommend this place to anyone who wants quick unique tacos! read more

I would like to know where the other reviewers got their tacos because the two times I've been at this restaurant my tacos were horrible. The first time was shortly after they opened. They were ok, but there is absolutely no flavor. I'm a sucker for good queso, and the queso here is pretty tasty. My second visit (which was earlier this week) resulted in an even worse review. For starters, the cashier put her fingers in my soda cup as she handed it to me. When I asked for a new one, she asked my why and I had to explain to her rhat her hands were dirty from handling cash and I didn't want the germs in my drink. I LITERALLY HAD TO EXPLAIN TO HER THE IMPORTANCE OF HAND WASHING. Let me tell you about my actual order. The meat in my tacos looked like dried cat poop. No joke. Shriveled up sad pieces of meat. NOTHING ELSE. Any other time, I would have taken them back to the counter but I had a to go order and didn't discover the sad excuse of wanna be tacos until I was already on the expressway. Don't buy into the hype of this place unless you really dig extremely poorly made tacos. read more

Was excited to try this place but wasn't so excited with the food I was given, I ordered 4 different tacos and the only one that was enjoyable was the breakfast egg and jalapeño sausage one. Even then, it was just okay. I took recommendations for the other 3 tacos from the worker up front. The meats on two of them were pretty dry and bland, the other taco I got was all grilled vegetables and the grilled vegetables weren't even fresh. It's as if they grilled the veggies at once, let it sit, and then threw them back on the grill to heat it up. Not sure why you wouldn't just grill the vegetables to order, it takes about 30 seconds. Sorry guys, it's really not that hard to mess up the idea of a taco. Especially when im the only customer present besides 2 other people. read more

Have been here twice when traveling for work. The shrimp tacos are delicious. They are small so if you are hungry, one taco won't do it for you. The chips are just okay as well as the salas and guacamole. The first experience was great but second was just meh. Also, don't understand why the additional charge for ordering online vs ordering in person. The cashier wasn't able to provide an answer to that question. read more

Went in to ask about a huge anniversary party (unbeknownst to the bartender) asked for a sample of margarita ... it was sweet (anybody who is anybody knows Margaritas are not sweet. Anyway...three servers were on their cells staring at me then at each other like...do we have to wait on that old lady? I left, they seemed relieved. Rusty Taco is not a bitcoin vehicle I can assure you. read more

Yum!! The food tastes very fresh and not processed. Service is fast. The guacamole and chips is my favorite, but i also love the tacos. Other reviewers complain that the tacos aren't good, but if you like simple food without 100 ingredients, you'll like these. Plus, they give you a lime slice and free salsa cups to add some zest. I think the tacos taste authentic but i know many people don't like the authentic Mexican flavors, which is why i think some others didn't give a good review on them. Also... Must try the churro! read more

Amazing! I have been wanting to try this place so I stopped in and just got one taco and it was delicious. Best taco I've had in along time. I'll definitively be back to try other things. Love the corn tortilla. read more

Got carry out and tried a lot of stuff. Some of the meats were a little dry but all in all it was ok. Would go back and do it again.
