Rusten House is a real "sleeper" of a restaurant; nothing remarkable about the name, the building or the decor.  It's "what lies beneath" that counts; Grandma's recipes have been handed down, fine-tuned and preserved for posterity.  As the other poster mentioned it's been this way for generations and generations of the same original family are at every turn if you watch the restaurant run while you dine.  Ordering out?  The "Special Burrito" is served "wet" and has so much clean, lean chunky pork (inside-and-out) you'll think there's a whole pig in it.  With roasted green chiles, some sort of gravy-like sauce, cheese and just a smideon of beans, you'll likely eat half of it the next day.

Chilaquiles!  Ever heard of 'em?  Most "Mexican" restaurants don't have the guts to put 'em on the menu; maybe they think us gringos won't like 'em?  No meat in chilaquiles but you won't miss it and you definitely will not walk away from an order of them hungry.  With fresh tomatoes, onions and cheese the whole thing gets sort of pan-steamed (think cast-iron skillet) with ordinary triangular tortilla chips.  In the end the chips will be semi-crispy on one end and kind of saturated (soggy?) on the other.  Think freestyle Mexican lasagna and you'll be somewhat close to what Chilaquiles are.  Better yet show some spine and just order them; you won't need dessert!

Ready to spar with the waiter?  Order PORK taquitos!  They make 'em but not all of their staff is aware they make 'em so you may have to insist.  I was the first to ever order them and it's not because I knew about them from somewhere esle, only because I imagined they'd taste real good if they existed.  Well now they do exist and they're definitely good! No! Let's strike "good" and replace it with SPLENDID!  These taquitos are the living end - if you love taquitos and you like carnitas, this is where those two excellent dishes combine to make the best taquitos I've ever eaten.  If you get 'em to go order them ala'-carte so's you can have three, because your spouse is going to steal one leaving you with two = just right.  Don't try to save them as leftovers because the pork juice (and it's inherent fat) will saturate the crispy taquito shell and leave you a limp near-greasy candidate for the dog's bowl.  Eat 'em hot and die happy!

Chile Colorado; it's the sauce!  Same or similar sauce on the PORK tamale too!  Either way... YUM!

Hey!  They got chickens in the house; they just haven't let poultry take over their menu like so many other politically-correct "diet conscious" restaurants have.  Eat at Rusten and you will walk away with a "taste-buds satisfied" smile on your face.

I don't use that rating boogie-woogie system; the servers are attentive and past that, it's all about the food at Rusten House.  Full bar for those who embibe.
