"5 years back we went here pretty frequently so we decided to stop by yesterday for dinner. I want to give a 3 star but I'm going with 4 due to the fact that I *think* the problem was due to short staffing.There were only 2 employees working and they Rusty Taco it was very busy when we went. They were handling it like champs but you could tell that it was incredibly difficult. I felt horrible for them. Making two individuals handle everything during dinner rush is pretty harsh and destined to have some chaos.I ordered 3 brisket tacos, husband got a Philly taco and 2 fajita tacos. We also got nachos with queso. For the tacos we grabbed every salsa except the mild. The queso fresco was missing from the brisket tacos which was a bummer. I felt too bad for the people working to have them correct it and just ate the meat/onion mix that had very minimal cilantro. It wasn't very good. The fajita and philly tacos were quite good. The salsas are excellent mixed together.Rusty tacos nachos are wonderful- crisp fried can't stop eating nachos with very decent queso (unless it's cold- do not eat it cold, it's not very good). I suggest getting extra nachos to take home, they are the truly fantastic.We were lucky enough to get the only outdoor table available, it seats 4. This Rusty Taco is located in a tight location so it's surprising they were able to fit even one table outside. The outdoor table is directly next to the smoking area for ? employees? There's a bucket that says butts nearby against the building so I assume that's what it is anyways. Just a heads up if you're averse to smoke.Rusty Taco is very accessible for wheelchairs, the counter, tables and bathroom are all easy to access with everything in eyesight, reach, and no obstacles moving around. There is a decent lip to get into the bathroom so if you have small casters you may have to pop to get in. That's the only thing I noticed that might be an issue for some. Awesomely -you can use the mirror while in your chair and the paper towels are right next to the sink.To sum it up, it was busy and short staffed so nothing was great except the nachos. Employees were wonderful for the situation they were put in. We'll try again in the future.

I've been to better places. The food was average and the service was similar. There was no ice in the ice machine, which I don't think is acceptable.

So gross. I think the health department should seriously visit this establishment. It is not clean. The staff are very rude. Tacos are very easy to make and hard to mess up, but Rusty’s managed to make the food gross and take about an hour for some tacos.

Excellent tacos, among the best I've found in the twin cities. We tried fish, pork, chicken and black bean tacos, the black bean being the best. Chips and queso were also very good. Service was friendly and fadt. Overall a bit pricey, but then isn't everyplace? View menu

I remember Rusty taco being a decent hip fast food joint. I would call ahead before you come to this Saint Paul location.l, was turned away and all I wanted was one, maybe two tacos. Maybe Rusty Taco is that cool where they can pick and choose who they serve, but I’ll take my money elsewhere to a place that doesn’t discriminate.

Came by and had a cauliflower salad bowl. Admittedly I had a salad at a taco joint. The top of the salad was crisp but below was brown lettuce. I brought this to the staff and they just said that’s how it comes. This tells me they don’t maintain their inventory. Eat here with caution. I will not be again. Vegetarian options: Brown lettuce.

I've never ate here but as a driver this place is always on point as an example today another driver picked up the order and I guess later unassigned so when I got to the store I showed them the order and they offered to remake it. Bad on the previous driver but this store didn't even hesitate to offer to remake and usually this is a chore at other locations. I'll gladly pick up here for any customer. View menu

40 minute wait for 4 tacos and 1 dessert. What a shame because the food was delicious. The manager tried telling the cook to prepare a larger quantity of food at once and he said “I just make them as they’re ordered.” Manager continued to discuss the issue with him and he said “I don’t mind doing it this way.” On the plus side, the manager made sure my order was correct, and without that oversight, it would’ve been wrong. He told the cook things like “she doesn’t want 2 of that kind she wants 1” etc to ensure my order was correct. The staff was friendly, prices are good, parking was easy, but they need a cook that can keep up the pace.

1. The Pork Taco was delicious. 2. The Grilled Baja Shrimp Taco was inedible; it was far too salty, and the shrimp were tough and rubbery. 3. The Grilled Fish Taco was awful. I have no idea what type of fish they used, but it was very disappointing. In my experience, grilled fish tacos usually contain a mild white fish, but this one tasted strangely like a mix of salmon and canned tuna. I couldn't even finish chewing my first bite because it was so unappetizing. As for the chips and guacamole, I wouldn't order them again. The chips were great, but the guacamole was lacking. It had no chunks of avocado and was overwhelmed by an odd taco seasoning that made it excessively salty, masking the...
