I have eaten here at lunch and for dinner. Sometimes I come in and it's not too busy, but usually it is. I appreciate the takeout option. I have no complaints on the food items I have tried-they all have been good.

Vegetarian options: I can't confirm their dishes are vegan, but they do have vegetarian versions of their dishes available e.g. bean burritos.

Parking: It is located on the Corner of Falls and Ansborough avenues in the Falls Mall building. There is plenty of parking.

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu, but not so much games/entertainment.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wide hallway. Restaurant itself could be a little tricky to navigate if busy.

First time I went i was satisfied with service and food. The second, and probably last, time not so much. I live maybe 3 minutes away. First time I place a to go order they said 15 minutes. I waited 10 , when I got there food was waiting and they were kind of busy, I was impressed. The second time I place a to go order they said 15 minutes. Again I waited 10 minutes before leaving. When I got their the host said the cook was finishing up my order. Place was empty no one seated or waiting. A couple walked in placed their order, mind you I'm still waiting for my order. I waited another 10 minutes they got their order and mine STILL WASN'T done. After waiting and additional 15 minutes I finally got my food. When I got home all the food was cold, again , I live 3 minutes away. They claim to be authentic Mexican food. Never knew any Mexican food cooked in a microwave. I was 100% not happy the second time, besides the cold food they are WAY over priced. $51 to feed 2 people is outrages and the food isnt worth $51. I will never step foot in that place again nor will I ever recommend it to anyone. Taco Johnson is much better food and much more affordable. I would rate that place a 0 but it isn't an option.

I actually went to Rudy’s Tacos two days in a row. The first day we sat outside and had drinks (good Margaritas), chips and fresh salsa, guacamole and some queso. Everyone loved their food: I like the Sancho.

The next day a group of family sat inside. Good selection of local beers. Everyone enjoyed their meals: burrito, sancho, taco salad, chimichangas. All food was hot, fresh and delicious.

Very expensive,...the man at the counter that i assume was the owner.. was childish and rude and sighed the whole time i was trying to choose, i finally just picked something as he tapped loudly on the counter, I could not get a straw...asked if I could buy one as I didn't understand. How cheap can u get? 2 meals, 2 drinks and a hot dog was over 40 bucks. Was one restaurant that I looked forward to going when I come back home. Not now,!! Gaurantee I and my family will never ever go again and I will let everyone I know what they have become there.

Life long customer here and I’m pretty sad to say I’m bummed. Rudy/manager has always been a bit of a grouch but my goodness. I think he’s had enough customer service. They only give out straws for kids for some reason (it’s not giving a “go green” vibe either?? Seems more like he’s become stingy) and I had to tell the waitress that my mom needed one or else she gets hives on her lips from the ice, to which she kindly gave me one. The food was fine, lacking in flavor as usual, but it’s still as expected. However… the prices have been INSANELY jacked. I know the economy is trash right now, but the fact it cost $80 for us to eat is absolutely insane. I was hesitant to even ask for a refill because of how stingy everything else seemed. On top of that, be prepared to sweat your butt off while you eat. Just sitting there eating our tacos we got so sweaty. It had to have been 76+ degrees in there, even with the ceiling fans going. Also, a side of sour cream was a whopping dollar for a tiny cup! The waitresses/girls behind the bar were so sweet - but you can tell they keep their distance from him… time to retire!
