Great tacos! Stopped in for breakfast tacos and they were mind blowing. We live in Castle Rock and will be back when nearby. Kudos to Mitchell, Pavel, Gerardo and Elena! We made a happy plate!

first, last time. front counter couldn’t make a suggestion other than read the menu. brisket was like rubber covered in tree bark. fish was drowned in salsa that didn’t complement the fish. I love tacos, from wahoos to torchy’s to authentic street tacos, and wish i had not tried this place

Just another mediocre place now. WAS such a good place to eat. However, like most places such as this, the quality eventually goes down. Last few times we ordered from here it was just ok. Today, was just bad. No flavor, no sauce, dry meat and each taco barely had any of its ingredients (just meat mostly) You can tell they just don't care anymore, clearly shows in the food. So inconsistent! Was such a great place at one time but lately not so much and just tired of waisting money in hopes that it will be "better" each time. I guess if you too, just don't care, then this is your place. For the rest of us, find somewhere else to eat.

I was pretty disappointed in my family's experience this past Sunday. My husband picked up food for the whole family for mother's day, and half of our orders were wrong. The food that we were able to eat had delicious flavor, but half of the tacos were supposed to be on corn instead of flour (gluten allergy), and onions were still on the brisket taco even though we requested them removed (because of another food intolerance). The brisket was also either in one large fatty chunk or burnt ends. I have former work experience in a Texas location of the same franchise, and the quality of service combined with the disregard for our order was a let down.

Meh…the space/ environment is cool. I like the feel of the place with music and big open areas. It wasn’t busy when I got here and it took about 3 minutes to get my 3 tacos, so that was awesome. The tacos however, we’re just ok. Served hot and fresh, but lacked real flavor in my opinion. I got the green Chile chicken, rusty taco and dynamite shrimp. The shrimp was really the only one with any flavor, and it was because of the sauce. I wouldn’t order any of these again. Would be nice to have lightly fried corn tortilla. The uncooked corn tortillas are a bit dry and boring. Maybe the other tacos are awesome, but this was my experience, and it was underwhelming.

Normally I love this place for a quick bite and yummy food, today however I was sitting at my table and one of the employees was carrying an umbrella for outside by me and smacked me with it, didn't notice and continued walking. Then I watched an employee blow his nose, wipe it and then NOT wash his hands afterwards. He was standing right next to the sink. Disgusting. Do better Rusty Taco.

Increasing issues with this location. Showed up at 845pm, they close at 900pm. Yet they are out of chips and out of rice. Last time we were told the grill was shut down already. If you don’t offer a full menu up until time of closing, then change your hours. Haven’t been here in forever because of service and quality issues and am remembering why.

The tacos were delicious.But the tables, chairs and the cooler that kept the salsa was so dirty. The floors looked like they hadn't been mopped for awhile. It needs some deep cleaning.

My husband and I just had an experience here that felt like the twighlight zone. I can’t think of a time Where we have had worse service. It started out with them shouting our names unnecessarily loud over the intercom even though we were the only ones in the store. The three high school aged boys that helped us forgot multiple parts of our order, and put cheese on our items when we requested none. I told them my husband had an allergy. I had to go up to the counter three times to get the right order and every time I came up they were standing talking and ignoring me. I had to ask them to correct our order three times and they acted so annoyed and put out and did not apologize what so ever. After I sat back down I see them looking at me and laughing and carrying on doing nothing. The positives were that our food was good and I also want to point out that the two individuals that were not high school aged boys were working hard the whole time while the boys just stood and talked. They both came up and personally apologized for their behavior and said they have had issues with them before. I don’t know if these kids are new, stoned or maybe just shouldn’t have been placed on a shift together, but we definitely won’t be back.

Absolutely shocked by the quality of the food I received today (1/30). This was my first time ordering food from here and I was hopeful since most of the recent reviews have been relatively positive. We ordered the tres grande as well as a variety of tacos, six to be exact. I was a little disappointed to see that the queso cup was only filled up halfway but all the dips were really tasty so it wasn’t a big deal. We then started to dig in on the tacos. I started with the fish taco and was appalled at how dry and rubbery the fish was. It was also drenched in Baja sauce, I assume to try and cover up the fact that the fish was so old and dry, but it didn’t work. Chalked it up to being an unfortunate mistake and tossed it to the side. I then unwrapped my chicken taco and was disheartened when I took a bite and discovered it was also bone dry. My third taco was a little better but I still wasn’t able to eat it. My fiancé ordered a breakfast taco which turned out ok and managed to eat one of the dry chicken tacos. He didn’t even attempt to try the brisket taco because the meat was hard, crunchy, and dry looking. This was a MAJOR disappointment. We’re now sitting here with 4 inedible tacos and filling up on chips. Complete waste of $50. :(
