[ UPTDATE (10:30 a.m., Friday): Had conversations with Rusty Fenton and David Weaver of The Rusty Taco this morning. Both said the taco chain is definitely trying to get to Waco but hasn't settled on a location yet. I'm confident there will be more news on this coming in the next couple of weeks. ]
We're hearing rumblings of a third restaurant going into the new shopping center anchored by Aldi on Valley Mills Drive. The WacoFork wire brought me this one last week as my friend Tanner Freeman had a connection at Kelly Realtors, where the owners of the new restaurant dropped off some menus.
I'm still working on confirmation of this, but apparently The Rusty Taco made it known to its future neighbors on Valley Mills Drive that they're on the way. Apparently they were trying to create buzz about the new taco joint, so of course we're going to help with that.
The Rusty Taco currently has locations in Dallas, Plano, Tyler, Longview and Paris, Texas and Minneapolis, Minn. The menu includes a variety of street tacos including fried chicken and barbecue brisket tacos along with the signature Rusty Taco, which is shredded pork, pineapple onion and cilantro.We've placed phone calls, so hopefully there will be updates to come soon.
