We felt a bit rushed by our waiter, but over all was a decent experience. Will likely dine elsewhere when we return to Galveston.

This restaurant is superb! The food is wonderful and the service is exceptional. Service timing was perfect and the staff were intuitive. Very pricey but well worth it in every way. All restaurants should be operated like Rudy and Pacos. A fantastic experience!

This was an amazing dining experience. The service is impeccable. You will see Paco himself greeting diners, clearing tables and serving food. I found that very impressive. Our server Alexis was wonderful. She described each dish we asked about in a way that made you want to try everything!

Rudy & Paco Restaurant & Bar is a place to go when you want calm ambience and well-prepared food. Most of the clientele seems to take seriously the business-casual dress code, which has great support from the best-dressed service staff that one can find in this vicinity. The restaurant's location adjacent to the 1894 Opera House is a setting for an interesting outing, whether for stand-alone dining or in preparation for other nearby entertainment activity.

To see the owner changing tablecloths and setting tables let's you know he cares. The food is exceptional and the attention to detail makes a difference. Samantha was our waitress and she was outstanding!!
