We went out on a party bus (actually, trolley) last night for my friends birthday. The night ended with me puking on my shoes and taking a cab to my friend's apartment to sleep off the events of the evening.
This afternoon when I woke up, after watching the Travel Channel for 2 hours, we decided to take a walk down to get some food. We ended up at Rudy's.
This is the first time I had ever been here. The decor was great and the booths were comfortable. The windows are line with cacti, and the tile and clay walls give you the feel of an authentic Mexican restaurant. The service was okay, I never really expect much from lunch time service, but our waitress just was not that friendly. I understand if you hate your job, but try to have fun with it, or at least fake it.
Due to the events of last night, I did not sample any alcoholic beverages. Usually my mantra is to start drinking ASAP when you have a hangover, but I just got not stomach it today. So you'll have to refer to other reviews if you are looking for information on the drinks. I got an iced tea that I could not get sweet enough, but that's fine.
But the food. THE FOOD. I got combination plate number one, which came with one beef taco, a chicken enchilada, and a bean and cheese burrito. There was also a side of rice, as well as sour cream and guacamole. Our food came out SUPER fast, which was really impressive. Granted, we were pretty much the only ones in there eating, but it was still quick. The plates were hot as HADES so, don't touch your plate and also start eating the rice first while the rest of the food cools because you'll burn your mouth on anything else.
Not a HUGE fan of beans but the bean and cheese burrito was actually pretty good, especially with the sour cream and guac. The chicken enchilada was alright, nothing really to extraordinary about it, same thing with the taco. But all of it together was really good, and exactly what I needed. The guac is really good, as is the rice. The fact that it all comes out PIPING hot is also a huge plus.
I would definitely suggest this place if you're looking for some pretty good Mexican food. I would suggest it even MORE if you are hungover in Somerville, because it is absolutely the best hangover food. Two thumbs up in THAT department.
