Rusty Taco (brown St. - Midland

Rusty Tacos is a great addition to the Midland food scene. The food was good, the restaurant has a great vibe, and the margaritas were tasty. We sat on the patio at the bar which was comfortable in the shade with all the fans/misters. It was very busy, but the staff that helped us were all very nice. We tried 7 tacos and enjoyed all of them. 10/10 would recommend the Tropical Shrimp! Glad to have Rusty Tacos here in Midland!

I entered the front door at 7:12 PM, placed my order at 7:36 PM, and received my food at 8:18 PM. Unacceptable, especially considering last time I came here they sent everyone away stating there would be a 40-50 minute wait for orders to start cooking because ?there?s only one cook.? ? The food was 3/5 unmemorable. This Fuzzy?s knock-off ranks right below the Moe?s Burritos in the truck stop on Garden City Highway when it comes to Mexican food in Midland. Save your time-I know I won?t be back.

Food was just ok. Nachos were the highlight. Fried chicken tacos meh. This establishment does not feel well-managed. Cashier was young and the family in front of us had someone cut in front of us. Cashier let them do a second order. Then another two people came up from outside straight to front and cashier let this family place a third order while the line started to pile up. We waited 20 minutes while one family placed multiple orders. A second worker occasionally came upto second cash register and did a few things to it but never opened it up to alleviate the line. Service was not friendly. There were no lids for the regular sized cups. Flies in the restaurant. I don't think we will return for awhile.

Although the location and the actual set up of this place is pretty nice, for 6 Tacos and an order of Nachos, the over $60 bill wouldn't have been too bad, considering the taco flavors and options aren't necessarily traditional, the service itself is what really stood out for us. We waited in line looking at the menu and while there were 2 registers present, only one cashier was working. The other register had a young lady standing behind it doing what we assumed wassome type of work related task. After the first cashier finished with the customer in front of us, she simply walked off and we were left browsing the menu a little too extensively. When I finally asked out loud if we were asked to waitor is the young lady at the other register working, the young lady asked us if we were through looking at the menu, instead of asking as soon as the other girl stepped away. I ordered a Margarita that they did not have the ingredientsavailable for as the bartender had to explain AFTER the purchase. With the exception of the very accommodating bartender and the kitchen staff, most of the other employees appeared to be a little lost. We were not greeted, asked if weneeded further assistance, explained the menu (each taco described is ONE SINGLE TACO btw), provided with suggestions, nothing. I think retraining the staff to be way more welcoming, observant and willing to accommodate would be a greatidea. Would return for the Margarita and very neat patio set up with misters, but not for the food which is way overpriced and a little bland on the flavor, plus they do appear to skimp on the taco fillings as well.

The brisket and shrimp are phenomenal! We ordered the nachos with brisket and it was ridiculously huge. All the salsas were delicious! I didn?t really like the fried chicken taco, but it didn?t matter because all the other tacos were so dam-good. The service was extremely fast and friendly!
