Central & South American-influenced steaks & seafood, dress code
"An island paragon, this upscale steakhouse features grilled meats and seafood with a distinct South American and Central American influence. Ceviche, empanadas, plantain-crusted Gulf snapper, and a selection of steaks grace the menu. Pro tip: Check the dress code before you go. Shorts are only allowed during lunch and at the bar." - Brianna Griff
"Join the upper echelon of Galveston society (who also wear tropical shirts) at Rudy & Paco, a combination Latin-Italian-seafood-steakhouse restaurant downtown. Bizarrely exclusive, the small restaurant has a nearly blacked out exterior, white tablecloths, and a menu stuffed with excellent Gulf seafood and pasta. A mob boss might take his dramatic side piece, and no one would bat an eye if she dumped a glass of Cabernet on his head. If you want to watch this reality show (because we do), then go to Rudy & Paco. There is limited bar seating, and the hosts seem to relish the opportunity to turn away walk-ins, so reservations are necessary." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
