    I'd probably use Photoshop for it. Select the area around TACOS, use Content Aware Fill, then set your new text. Try out different Blend modes and opacities to see what makes the text look like it goes with the background best.

    I would design the text and rectangle in Illustrator and then bring them into Photoshop (as a Smart Object so that they remain editable) and add the texture there. Best of both worlds.

    The distressed look on the yellow lines might be achieved using the roughen effect or brushes.

    The distressed look on the red background might be achieved by overlaying a rusty texture (or by using an opacity mask).

    You could search for Grunge or distressed on your favourite search engine in order to find tutorials. There should be plenty.
