Love this place! It's a staple of teele square, has affordable prices, and has a great atmosphere for families or drinks with friends. We have done takeout from here before and dined in. Tex Mex here is the way to go. Get the burritos or the enchiladas in particular. For drinks, their margaritas are very strong (and tasty). All the while, we came in and noticed that they were very accommodating for kids - their selection is quite diverse. Overall, would recommend this place and look forward to coming back soon!

Went here on a recommendation and I was not disappointed! We got a Pollo Verde burrito and an enchilada 3 ways special. To be honest, I was sold at the drinks and the salsa, but the food was amazing. Perfect amount of spice in the salsa, great mix of craft/Mexican beers, and there were some great tequila cocktails. Got here early for weekend lunch and service was impeccable despite a dining room that filled up while we ate. Asked my wife when we could go back before we even finished. Kid friendly to boot.

Very generous with their nacho toppings! Great wings too. I like all of the cactus plants as well.

They serve really good food at a respectable price. They should steal KFC's slogan : finger licking good because that's the food they serve : comfort food with a nice atmosphere. The staff is really nice. I haven't been there for a long time but I hope the level is still the same.

I'm not a connoisseur, the service was nice, the place is clean and warm. The chimichanga was nice and hot but the chips were rather bland for me.

I've been going to Rudy's for nearly 30 years, and currently drive 45+ minutes to dine in. Their food and drinks are awesome, and staff is wonderful. Try their secret "off the menu" Nachos Polo Verde, for hands down the best in the world. We've tried to find someplace closer, but no one compares. ☆☆☆☆☆
