    Excellent meal at the lovely place! We loved the ambience, food and service. Standouts included the martini menu and quarto leches cake. A wonderful family meal which we hope to make a new tradition! Highly recommended.

    Rudy & Paco’s is our special occasion “go to” Galveston restaurant. Yet this trip exceeded even our usual high expectations. Great food, quality service led by our Server, Jose’, quiet tasteful ambience. We were initially slightly disappointed that Paco was taking a well deserved day off, but the Maitre d’ filled in ably. It was truly a special occasion, my 80th birthday.
