   Our friends recommended Rudy & Paco for my husbands birthday dinner. They know that we enjoy great food coupled with excellent service and this restaurant did not disappoint. Everything was excellent. The wait staff, the menu selections, food, and ambiance. Rudy & Paco is worth the money if you are looking for a memorable meal and experience.

   Over the years I have dined at Rudy and Paco on several occasions, but it has been closed to two decades since I last visited this outstanding restaurant. Rudy and Paco is a great place for fine dining, with friendly and attentive service, wonderful ambiance, and deliciously prepared food.

    If you are in Galveston do yourself a favor and go to Rudy and Paco’s. The food is delicious, a Central American take on Gulf seafood. The chef could red snapper in ways you have never even thought of and it is all scrumptious. As good as the food is the service is better. This is fine dining and the service reflects it. Galveston has a number of outstanding dining establishments, but for my money Rudy and Paco’s is the best.

    Rudy & Paco’s is a local favorite with excellent fresh seafood. Dinner was delicious, perfectly cooked & seasoned. Our server was okay, however it’s evident that local residents that dine here often get premium service. Having said that, we always dine here when we are in town, it’s so good.

    My wife and I shared beefsteak tomatoes, grilled snapper with creole sauce, salmon with habanero sauce. Entrees came with broccoli rabe and lyonnaise potatoes. Everything was excellent. We have been here many times and this was the best yet. Wine list uninspired. My wife also had a cucumber martini which was very good. Service was a little slow. Good acoustics.

    Arrived, ambiance was relaxing, quite,inviting: a place you want to keep coming to( homely). The hostess was very cordial and immediately made us feel welcomed and had a table for us immediately. Our server was very knowledgeable and helped us with the selections for the evening. Food was amazing: appetizers, main course and drinks arrived at our table sooner than expected. Thanks to everyone involved in this venue, you set the bar high and it’s a pleasure to find quaint places such as this one! Gracias a Don Paco por el tiempo dedicado a nosotros aunque estaba demasiado ocupado. Que Dios siga bendiciendo a toda su familia.

    Probably the best birthday dining experience in a long time. Ambiance, service, food experience, was all excellent! To top off my birthday meal, and completely unexpected, when we had finished our meal Paco Vargas (the Owner) personally invited and walked us across the street to his other amazing restaurant and gave my wife and me a personal tour of "Vargas Cut and Catch by Paco." What an extra mile and a wonderful evening. Thank you Mr. Vargas!
