thanks to Steve for bringing Rusty to Lincoln - muy authentico tacos - real birria - great variety / tried several & they're all winners ! ...get a side of tater tots with your tacos - great brews on tap & cocktails to compliment the food - can't wait to get back there...ps -Steve, can another staff member be designated bartender instead of pulling cashier away from the counter?

Great tacos. Fresh ingredients. Creative tasty combinations. Great staff and atmosphere. Only reason for a 4 star review is the price. If you're able to drop a pretty penny the experience is worth it but oh my you'll be feeling that dent in your wallet.

Walking in, the staff were friendly, the restaurant was clean and tidy. The menus is unique, diverse, and well presented and the overall branding of the restaurant is appealing. It’s a cool atmosphere but the food was lacking. I had the Rocoto Spice Chicken Taco which is listed to be spicy, but was lacking in heat and tenderness, and the Bbq Brisket taco had good flavor but the meat was too dry. I prefer a good fresh corn tortilla, but the ones I had were dry and didn’t appear fully cooked, which is not a good mouth feel. It’s like having undercooked potatoes. What sets apart an OK taco shop from a great one is flavor and texture. The great shops have dialed in every aspect of the taco (the tortilla, the fresh cilantro/onion/peppers, and fresh tender flavorful and juicy meat);Rusty Taco di

First experience was tremendous. My foodie child kept shaking his head repeating “so good”. Sorry - we took one bite and forgot to breathe while we inhaled the rest so all I have is a photo of the finished meal. We will make this a more regular spot.

Rusty’s always has a great environment and food. I always enjoy coming here to enjoy excellent tacos.
