What McKenzieGlazebrook doesn't like about Rudy's Mexican:
I visited the original location, which was difficult to reach from State Street. Unfortunately, they do not offer a vegan menu and they also do not have margaritas. View all feedback. What User likes about Rudy's Mexican:
Amazing food and wonderful staff. Family owned and operated. I've been enjoying Rudys since my teenager. I am 35 now and love the food and the warm welcome of the staff. My sister visits Hawaii twice a year and every time Rudy is a must. View all feedback.

went to the original location- it was hard to foot from the state road and they did not have the vegan menu.

my vegan enchiladas were good, but not great, but they have great options for vegans

both plants vegan option, plus beyond the products option.

My husband and I often come here. You have an exclusively vegan menu if you ask about which we find filling, simple and very good! Updated by previous review on...

Went to the original location- it was difficult to walk from the state road and they do not have the vegan menu. No margaritas.

Nestled in the heart of Santa Barbara, this casual walk-up restaurant serves up a delightful array of authentic Mexican cuisine, attracting diners with its homey vibes and consistent quality. Customers rave about the flavorful salsas, tender meats, and generous portions, with highlights including the pork chile verde sopes and chicken taquitos. While the restaurant lacks a dedicated vegan menu, patrons can request several tasty vegan options. Despite some inconsistent service experiences, the overall atmosphere remains warm and inviting. Whether for breakfast or lunch, this eatery is a must-visit for fans of traditional Mexican fare.
