This was one of most memorable meals I have ever experienced, everything about this experience was over the top. Watching the waiters and staff was like a ballet, the service was outstanding. Top notch restaurant. Flavors were incredible, portions were large and the Crab Cakes were tasty and plentiful, a meal in itself. Well done, great evening.

Rudy & Paco is the standard of sophisticated and fine dining in Galveston. The customer service and hospitality was second to none and the food was immaculate! I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to celebrate or anyone looking to grab a nice cocktail in a sophisticated atmosphere.

Rudy & Paco Restaurant is a true gem in every sense. From the moment we stepped in for our 5th anniversary, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting ambiance that set the perfect tone for our celebration. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who ensured every detail was taken care of. The food was a culinary masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavors that delighted our taste buds. We were pleasantly surprised by a special anniversary dessert, that made our evening even more memorable. The owner's presence and personal touch added to the charm, showcasing a genuine passion for hospitality. Rudy & Paco is not just a restaurant; it's an experience worth cherishing and recommending to anyone seeking exceptional dining and unforgettable moments.

A Gentleman at our hotel recommended Rudy and Paco Restaurant and bar and we are so happy he did. The food was very good and the selections on the menu were nicely varied. We found the atmosphere to be very nice, classy without being stuffy. Our server was excellent very friendly and very attentive. This was a really nice dining experience for us.

YOU. MUST. EAT. HERE!!! As soon as you walk in the door the vibe is elegant. It feels warm. Inviting. Paco walks around and fills up your water. Very nice man. And his manager, we called him the tall man, was generous. We had the tower appetizer with tempura lobster tail, crab cake and shrimp in a garlic sauce. Main course was the filet, scalloped potatoes and green beans. You don't need a knife for the filet. It's just amazing. The poblano soup, OMG! Dessert was creme brulee, I'm salivating just writing this review! The service is off the chain. People at the table are all served at once, drinks and food all night long. If you haven't eaten here, I 100% will go back! TRY IT

We came here for a work event / team dinner with our significant others. The service was just absolutely amazing from the moment you walked in the door. Honestly this place was way to classy for me but the wife and I enjoyed every bit of it. I got the steak filled and my wife got the red fish with lump crab meat on it I believe. Also for this upscale experience the prices were very reasonable. The owner himself was in the restaurant bring food out, cleaning tables, etc. One thing that really stood out was we had about 10 people and when the food was brought out the restaurant literally send 10 people out with a dish so all the food was set down at the same exact time. Was super blown away!! I would definitely like to come back when I'm in the area.

Hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had dining out in a very long time. Reservations, dress code, no kids, perfect ambience, seamless service, and quality food. We were served their plantain chips with two sauces after sitting down. My husband and I shared two plates, the vuelva a la vida, and the Ojo de Castillo. The calamari, shrimp, crab claws incorporated in the linguini pasta was spot on, with a good spiced heat complimenting the entire dish. The steak was cooked a little more than our medium rare preference, however the taste was great and still manageable to chew. The sourdough bread served is absolutely delicious, perfectly crusted on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was extremely attentive; water glasses never hit the bottom, our silverware was updates based on what we were eating, and very tall man dressed more than the servers approached us for our experience. One of the most wonderful surprises were the synchronized serving done when serving our meals. I felt like I was on a private yacht and it was just the two of us. The interior is tastefully done, the lighting is not offensive, and had we not eaten a larger meal earlier we would have probably enjoyed the crab cake and some cocktails. Such a magical treat on this island. Side note: adhere to the dress code. Most negative reviews are ladies that dress think they look cute in a jumper, but when your knee caps show, it’s a no-go.

Immaculate! The vibes, the food, the service... all of it. A family favorite of ours for date nights and special occasions. We come for the ojo de costilla and stay for the amazing hibiscus martinis!
