Rusty Fenton opened his fast-casual Mexican spot Rusty Taco in 2010, with the first location in Dallas. Now the popular spot has spread around Texas and the country, with locations in Arizona, Colorado, California, and more. The menu centers on all sorts of tacos–from street tacos to birria to Baja style.

However, the sleeper his is Rusty Taco’s nachos. Lucky for us, the team shared the recipe and now you can make them at home.
