This week on Chomp, we’re in Dallas, Texas, visiting the original Rusty Taco—where bold flavors, community spirit, and a love for tacos come together. We sit down with Denise Fenton, wife of founder Rusty Fenton, to hear the inspiring story behind the brand’s beginnings in a converted gas station. Plus, we chat with Daniel, the President of Rusty Taco, about what sets a great restaurant apart from a good one and how he’s driving the brand forward. From the heartwarming origins to the secrets behind their crave-worthy menu, we’ll explore what makes Rusty Taco a neighborhood favorite. With 35 locations across 12 states and counting, we also get an inside look at the franchise process, the power of atmosphere, and the strategy behind growing a brand while staying true to its roots. If you love tacos, great vibes, and business insights, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
