Rudy's Restaurant Upper State

I ordered from Rudy’s for a family meal
Food was pretty good I will say. The protein portions are huge! They load it up with protein, but other than that it gave me little to get excited about.
To start they forgot half of the order
Even when it was paid for, and the only compensation provided was a bag of chips.
Classic “gringo” Mexican restaurant if you will.
Unfortunate experience.
Better luck next time.

I grabbed the potato taquitos. They were good and had a nice seasoning. The salsa bar was great, several options of salsa Roja and verde. Nice customer service too.

Will not let customers use the bathroom. Will not be back.

The past few times I have eaten at Rudy's, the food was not hot ! I picked up a combo plate, the enchilada was cold, and the cheese was unmelted. Also , the taco in the box was unwrapped on the rice and beans, and the taco was a mess just fell apart . Wrap the taco and leave it out of the box.
Even the 3 min drive with a hard shell taco out of the box can be pushing it . Wrap the Taco ?‍♂️

Hey, just know what you want before you go in. My wife wants tacos, and she gets tacos.
One thing, though, is to just get one Taco per person unless you are starving.
Sheesh, one Taco filled me up, and I'm a big boy.

Cheers to the best American-ized taco on the planet! Granted, I am biased, but this large taco is one of a kind. I have been coming to Rudy's locations in Carpinteria and Santa Barbara for years, and it always delivers.

Be sure to try the shrimp taco. The flavor of the shrimp on the taco is great, and the rice and beans that come with it are soft and delicious. Add lime, cilantro, onion and salsa and serve. I added green salsa and tomato sauce. Please note that this store provides all kinds of sauces as standard. Very good point. The mole burrito is also delicious.

I read the bad reviews below, but the menu I ordered was satisfactory in appearance, taste, and quantity!

I typically love this place... But my son ordered me flautas... And I got some resembling soft soggy flour burrito filled with chicken only drenched in sauce... Everyone knows that a flauta is like a Taquitos except a flour tortilla and is crunchy! The guy asked my son what do you mean flauta and gave him this. How do you not know what flauta is? It would have actually been okay, if it was good... Im surprised it wasn't, because their food is good! They do beve the best crunchy tacos...I called, they said sorry, nothing we can do about my order. Anyway, if you order flautas say you want the crunchy flautas... Or you might get this!
