I've driven past this juice bar so many times. Since I'm diabetic I wasn't sure what I could get…read morethere. Juice is not ideal for me. It contains too much sugar. My interest peaked recently when a new sign was placed outside the store, which read something to the effect, "We now have breakfast." Yesterday, I was busy running errands in East Greenbush. The goal was to get to the juice bar for breakfast but by the time I was done with errands it was 2pm. I decided to visit anyway. Inside, it's clean and cheerful looking with bright yellow walls. It has the look of a luncheonette with food on display behind the counters with glass dividers. It looked as though lunch was winding down. There was one man still seated at a table finishing his meal. Diners had their choice of a variety Ecuadorian chicken dishes as well as beef stew and roast pork. It looked as though they'd served up a great deal of pork at lunchtime but there was still some left. So I asked for pork with yellow rice and beans. I asked to try both the black and the pink beans. The young woman who served the food gave me huge portions. The cost came out to $15.12 but I knew I would be eating this large meal for days. When I brought my takeout order home, it smelled great. It tasted even better. It was a hearty and delicious meal. I managed to eat about half and was very full. I saved the rest for the next days lunch. Next time, I'd like to try a chicken dish. I hope that one of these days I'll get started early enough to actually show up for breakfast as I intended.

Time is running out to come and get your Ecuadorian juice and food on. Sadly to say they will be…read moreclosing soon. No timeframe but the mom and pop who are well into their 70's are moving back to Ecuador and closing shop. Till this day this place does not disappoint. Service is top notch and the genuine Ecuadorian decorations will be missed. Lunch and dinner meals still cost $13 and you get a lot for what you pay. If you haven't tired them I can't highly recommend them enough.

First impressions: walked in, stood at the register for 10-15 minutes while they were working on…read moreother orders until they finally took our order. The place itself was pretty empty and only one or two orders ahead of us. I would have otherwise understood if there were more people. Waiting for the food: about 20 minutes, maybe longer. They cook it with their backs turned to you while you just stand around. Eating the food: 90% veggies + rice/noodle and the rest is protein. For $18, getting four small pieces of shrimp and half a handful of steak seems very steep... it was underwhelming after opening the box after the long wait. The taste itself was alright. It wasn't bad by any means but definitely doesn't make the price worth it for the amount of protein you get.

Fridays are pizza nights on the bar side. This moves outdoors at the IBS bocce court pavilion during the summertime staffed by the club members. We started with wine ($8) and shared fried calamari ($13) - excellently prepared & a cold antipasto ($14) - enough for 4. Dinners were eggplant rollatini ($13) w/ a side of broccoli rabe ($9), lasagna ($21) very large portion, & chicken saltimbocca over penne ($25) - excellent. And the birthday girl had chocolate mousse for dessert ($4.75). An excellent meal with enough to take home. Always great food & service at Rudy's. The large dining room is available for parties & events. Thank you again for a great dinner. We have been here many times, always excellent. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY

I would like to come back here for breakfast as the breakfast menu looked excellent, too.

We came here to watch the World Cup and got a Caesar salad and a hot honey pepperoni pizza to split. While the sauce of the pizza was a bit heavy, the ricotta was a nice touch. The Caesar salad was a nice presentation, made with pre-shredded lettuce. I really enjoyed the strawberry tequila cocktail; it almost tasted like a fruit juice in a dangerously delicious way. The bar itself has an old school setup, with hooks for your purse and several tvs to watch sports on. There were several tables and booths that would be great for large groups.

The sub roll is toasted, then marinara is added, meatballs (without sauce), mozzarella and parmesan. Rolled tightly into paper, even for a sub staying in. Contrary to the photos - the cheese is NOT melted by a toaster, so it globs together in a mass, warmed slightly by the sub. The marinara is good, but because it's at the bottom, it soaks through the bread, making it a sloppy mess. And I was eating it right away, I can't imagine take away. I did ask for the sub to be toasted after the cheese was added, but I was told that isn't something they can do. The employees were super nice & friendly, as usual.
