Rusty Taco Now Open in Summerhill

Rusty Taco , a street-style taco restaurant known for its fresh ingredients and flavorful menu, is now open in the Summerhill neighborhood.

The restaurant at 572 Hank Aaron Drive SW is operated by MBC Concessions , a group of experienced restaurant operators.

Until July 8, guests can receive free chips and queso by bringing in a can or jar of queso (limit of one per family per day). The canned goods that are collected will be donated to a local charity.

Rusty Taco was founded by Rusty Fenton , who, with his wife Denise Fenton , opened the first location in Dallas in 2010. The restaurant features more than 15 unique taco options including baja shrimp, fried chicken and brisket, alongside a full bar. The menu also includes sides like queso and guacamole, all made in-house daily. Rusty Taco has more than 30 locations across 13 states.

“As we were looking for a brand that we could grow with, Rusty Taco stood out as the perfect addition to our portfolio,” said Justin Triplett , president and CEO of MBC Concessions. “The brand is versatile, with multiple dayparts and its unmatched flavor profile, it presented a lot of opportunity in a new market. We also love the connectivity we have with the Rusty Taco corporate team, and we’re excited to become a staple in this incredible city.”

In addition to Triplett, Founder and Chairman Lucian Dillingham , Director of Operations Michael Gorospe and Director of Human Resources Ty Williams are leading the charge with the development of Rusty Taco, which in addition to Summerhill, includes nine future locations in Georgia.

What Now Atlanta reported in February that Rusty Taco would be expanding to Atlanta.
