Reviews for Rusty Taco in Dubuque, IA
Wanted to try something new, so stopped here. The atmosphere was nice, but the service and food was not. I was expecting... street tacos, but what I got was meat in a corn tortilla. We both ordered 2 tacos each, and my husband ordered chips and salsa,and I ordered chips and queso. What we got was 2 tacos each, a side of tater tots, which aren?t even on the menu. We tried toget the servers attention again, but she was not interested in anything but collecting a pay check. My husband went to thecounter and finally got her attention, so she brought us one order of chips, not two like we paid for, queso, salsa andguacamole, which we didn?t order. Tried to convince my husband to go back and tell her that we were still missing an order ofchips, but he refused to speak to Miss Personality for a 3rd time. Ordered a frozen margarita as well, but thought somethingmust be wrong with it because it tasted nothing like one. I thought maybe it was just my taste buds, but noticed the lady atthe table next to us make a face when she tried hers, and saw her push it away, so realized it couldn?t be two of us with ourtastebuds off. I would rather go to an authentic Mexican restaurant where they have real tacos, plus half the price. Veryexpensive first time experience for such mediocre food. Last time visiting, especially after reading other reviews after weleft. Read more
LOVE this place! both times I've went have been fantastic. I love the atmosphere, the food, and the MARGS ???? Luke was very... friendly and appears to truly care about your experience. pictured: beef nachos, shrimp tacos (highly recommend), and watermelonjalapeño margarita. Read more
Nice service and the vibe was pretty cool. guess I'd just say the food didn't fit my taste personally. Looked nice though
Some visits I'd give them 5 stars but I've had many visits when the food was inconsistent even when ordering a second round of... tacos. We love their tacos & especially the guacamole. The inconsistency will not keep us from returning. Excellent Margaritas Read more
Where to begin. A new place we were wanting to try. Should have read the reviews first. Confusing when you walk in, go to where... the sign says to order and no one's there. Finally the lady from the bar area comes over and takes our order we get a tray withour chips and go sit at the bar. The wait wasn't long probably because the food was cold. My brisket taco was good but cold. Theorder my boyfriend got 2 tacos when he ordered one. His was also cold. The cheese unfortunately was something neither one of uscould swallow. The bartender never came to ask how it was. There were dirty glasses everywhere. Food on the floor, no lids forthe cups, spilled pop by the drinks area. If you knew the bartender she was friendly otherwise nothing. All in all we will notgo back, nor will we recommend it to anyone. Read more
What absolutely fantastic service!!!! We came in on a Thursday night with a fairly large party. After grazing on some chips for... the table, Cori came to help us and made the night one to remember! She was amazingly helpful, waited on us hand and foot, andgave us top notch service! Read more
We decided to go out for dinner that night and try a new place rusty talk over all who's not overcrowded and was very clean. But... definitely needs More of the actual texmex touch. We ordered 2 tacos the tortillas definitely we're cold. We ordered 2 tacosand an order of nachos and it came out to be about $30 with chips and salsa. Which seems a little steep. Read more
Waited over 30 minutes for cold nachos and tacos even though the restaurant is completely empty? the worker said sorry we made... everything fresh? if it?s fresh why is it cold? Read more
