First visit and very impressed. Had the Rusty Combo with the smashed cheeseburger taco on flour tortilla and crispy shrimp taco on corn tortilla. Chips and queso for my side. Service was friendly and place is clean. Food was great. I didn't think a cheeseburger taco would be good but it was excellent. They really load up the tacos so 2 is more than enough for 1 person. Queso is really tasty as well.

Our office decided to try out Rusty Taco for lunch this afternoon. Needless to say, we were not disappointed! The staff was incredibly friendly and the restaurant was very clean. Upon walking into the restaurant, we were greeted by warm smiles and a unique, beautiful atmosphere. My coworkers and I ordered the chorizo & black bean bowl, the shrimp bowl, and the birria tacos. We got our food quickly and took it back to our office to enjoy. Everything was so delicious! We will definitely be back! Hopefully after work too, for a margarita!

We recently visited Rusty Taco on State Street in Rockford, Illinois, and our first impression was quite positive. The place was well-organized and clean, setting a nice tone for the visit. We ordered the plant based chorizo and black bean tacos, but unfortunately, they were out of the plant based chorizo. They substituted them with cauliflower and a regular black bean taco instead. Also gave us a side of cheese and chips on the house for the inconvenience (the cheese was delicious). I rated the cauliflower tacos a 3/5. My partner ordered the steak fajita and Texican tacos. He rated those 3 out of 5 as well. I don’t recommend the rice, it was bland with no flavor. I will give compliments on their salsas because those were very good. Even the super spicy one. The restaurant does offer alcoh

My wife and I dined in tonight and the food was outstanding. I had the corny pig and the bacon jam tacos with tots and my wife had fried shrimp and green street tacos with black beans. Both of our meals were excellent. The restaurant is brightly decorated, very clean, and has friendly staff. The bacon jam was to die for, I never thought I would rave about corn but the corn was fresh and crisp and wonderful. Everything was obviously made from fresh to order and was done very well. My wife, who is 37 weeks pregnant, said I am to bring her this food in the hospital after she gives birth she enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend. No complaints.

Very good and cheap meal. I recommend the chicken quesadillas and the chips and queso. I come here for that every time.
