The fish tacos were incredible! Seems that they make their own tortillas as they were thick and tasted great. Also the cashier was a cool guy

Personally, I had the shrimp fajita bowl- so delicious Their crunchy & soft tacos are huge and generously topped with cheese, lettuce etc.. help yourself to the Topping bar for variety of salsas, peppers, etc. Staff is oh so generous, they cook fast so you get your order quickly & hot!

Loved the food here. Had two fish tacos and my buddy had a fish and shrimp taco. My fish tacos were delicious and it came with rice and black beans, big portions too. They have a salsa bar with some pretty good salsas. The young man that took our order was very helpful too. I’d definitely be back in the future.

Rudy’s is a classic SB spot in multiple locations. They’ve been a favorite of mine friends for decades. I personally don’t eat meat so I can’t comment on the taste of so many of the delicious menu items that most love best other than to say everyone I know is more than satisfied when they choose Rudy’s. The food is cooked with sb love and it’s easy for a quick bite...The chips and salsa are great too!

This place is insanely good! The salsa bar has an assortment of 5 hot sauces that are incredibly delicious each with its own authentic unique flavor. The salsa bar also has all the fixin's like jalapenos, limes, radishes, carrots, etc. The amount of food you get almost equates to two full meals, the prices are reasonable and the food is absolutely delicious! I recommend the carnitas. Has indoor/outdoor seating.
