Haven't eaten anything yet but I ordered off grub hub and the server and cook were asking me what I got, it was very confusing, I'm thinking can't they read what I ordered on the app and I didn't get all I paid for and it was SUPER expensive!!!! read more

Not good. My Enchilada looked like it had been reheated many times. Back to eating at home!!! It is safer. read more

Rudy's Tacos - Bettendorf - Bought smaller portions. This enchilada has been reheated too many times. Not returning. - Mexican Near Me - Bettendorf, Iowa

The service was nice but the food itself tasted like it had been sitting out for a long time. We did the taco bar. It was clean, and has potential. If you're looking for good Mexican food there's much better options in the area. read more

Disclaimer: Nostalgia is a difficult beast to separate from food ratings. This is a hometown favorite, and I eat here at least once every visit home. We started out with the cheese crisp, and it always lives up to its name...greasy, crunchy, and most of all CHEESY!! I ordered the tostada value meal which is two crispy tostadas mounded with all the toppings and includes a drink and beans & rice. The tostada piled high with seasoned ground beef and refried beans. It is always delicious, though not very authentic. My wife ordered an enchilada and a tostada. The tostada was just like mine and delicious, but she was disappointed by the enchilada which was made with flour tortilla and rather flavorless. This is one my favorite joints so it was on the list before there ever was a list...Bravo Rudys, keep it kickin and I'll visit every time I'm back in the area!! read more

Rudy's Tacos - Bettendorf - Cheese Crisp! - Mexican Near Me - Bettendorf, Iowa

See all

Best Rudy's. Thats all I have to say but Yelp wants me to write at least 85 characters lol

Rudy's Tacos is a good place to get some tasty Mexican food. It offers a great selection of food and drinks. I love getting their beef enchiladas and cheese fries. It does make the perfect combination. read more

This was a first and last time stop for us. The food was disgusting. Everything had to be canned including the beef in the burrito. It looked as if almost all of it was microwaved so that it could cook. The chips are $6 and definitely came out of a bag. Service was pretty poor and the total we were charged was not that amount that the bill brought to us said. Taco Bell blows this place out of the water and that's sad for a sit down restaurant. Not to mention it was pretty dirty and disorganized inside. We were expecting to get food poisoning.... Avoid this disaster!!!! read more

The two times I've eaten here I get the impression the staff just doesn't want you to be there, completely bland, blah customer service. The food itself is, by far, the worst Rudy's in the QCA. Cafeteria lunchroom-style flavor. If you must visit a Rudy's, the Elmore location is infinitely better, better food, better customer service. This place continues to go downhill. Can't be bothered to ever make an order correctly. Definitely one star. read more

Food was ok, but watch your bill The price that was on the menu and what they charged me were two different things. When I asked they they said they were getting new menus. You don't change your prices until you get the new menus. The server did ask if I wanted my money back as if I would say this was ok. Chips were extra too. It was a very expensive meal. I will not be eating there again read more

Got it to go tonight. I'm going to have to agree with the recent comments, microwaved and canned flavoring. The service was very weird. They couldn't figure out how to pay with a gift card and the rest on a debit card. My one positive would be that my serving was very generous. I got the Rudy's platter, but like I said totally microwaved. Wish they could be more fresh. read more

Very disappointed! When we ordered our food we asked if the chimichanga came with rice and beans. The chimichanga was lent even crispy like a chimichanga should be fried but it wasn't, and it was wrapped like in a square or weird shape. It didn't even have a shape of a burrito. It looked like half of the burrito was missing! We were told they did. We asked for sour cream and guacamole didn't get it. The food was cold not even warm. The cheese looked like they just throw it on top and didn't even warm it up! I wouldn't suggest going here. The one by Lowes in Bettendorf is so much better. I don't know why the quality in the two are so different but they are. It's like they don't hold the same standards as the other one! read more

Meh. It's adequate. The food is fine. It's not great, but it's not bad. Honestly, I was unimpressed. The service was marginal... we got what we needed, but we really had to work for it, as the waitress was not particularly attentive. She was nice enough, but she just didn't check on anyone for the most part. It's a plain looking place, with plain looking decor, but it's clean overall, and there was enough seating. Place settings consist of one fork each, wrapped in a paper napkin. Not such a big deal, except it is a bit annoying realizing you must cut your burrito or your chimichanga with your fork. How hard would it be to allow for a few extra pieces of silverware that need to be washed and just assume that everyone might benefit from a knife? I would have preferred a knife... it wasn't impossible to cut my food with my fork, but it just would've been easier. No chance of that though... it would have taken me ten minutes to flag down my waitress to ask for one. I made due with what I had. For those of us who finished ahead of the others at our table, our finished dishes were left in front of us, even when we put our trash in our plates, which should have indicated we were done. Again, not that big a deal, but just one more part of the "Meh" service we received. They have wi-fi, but you need the code to use it. We asked for the code, and the waitress apparently forgot. Meh. On the upside, the food is inexpensive. Really, as Mexican food goes, I just don't have any feeling about the place. It's generic enough Mexican food, with a smattering of other stuff on the menu, in case you are not into Mexican food, but you managed to get yourself dragged along by the others in your family. I don't think this place would satisfy a craving, were I to have one, but I also don't see myself avoiding it if I were hungry and it was convenient. Again, just Meh. Edit to add: I have since found out that not all Rudy's are created equal. It is quite possible that this is the worst location in the chain. We went to the Rudy's on Elmore, located across the street from Lowe's and we were pleasantly surprised. If you are inclined to try out Rudy's, do yourself a favor and try a different location from this one on Devil's Glen. read more

Wow. First off, LOVE Rudys tacos. We've new eating there for 20+ years. And the food has ALWAYS been amazing. Customer service has always been great. Except for today. I was laughed at on the phone, and I could hear the woman talking crap about me. And then she treated me like a two year old. After walking in, she looks directly at me and says, "...yikes..." And walks away. I have never felt so disrespected. I'm only giving it one star because the food was amazing as always. But get better employees. It was a older lady with very short brown hair. Very curly. Looked like she got it highlighted. read more

The food we were served was flavorless however this was kinda covered up by the grease(more than I would expect,considering it was dripping off the food). And the rice and beans were definitely overcooked. Service was seriously lacking and when my husband told the waitress that he didn't like his food she replied, "oh, I'm sorry about that. Would you like to take it home and eat it later?" Did she not hear that he didn't like the food!!! We will not be back. If you want to eat a Rudy's I would suggest going to a different location. I prefer the location in Rock Island. read more

The customer service during our visit was horrible. Staff glared as we left without saying a single word. Our service during our meal was also not good. I would not go out of my way to go back. read more

A nice little place close to everything in Bettendorf. We shared the chicken enchiladas and beef tacos. Service was good and so were the prices. read more

Their food isn't prepared fresh when ordered, they smother it with cheese and throw it in the microwave. Wasn't very appetizing at all. Definitely not the best Mexican restaurant I've been to. read more

Can't recommend. Slathered in grated basic cheddar cheese. Canned flavors. Reheated in microwaves. I'd head elsewhere.

Love the owner and staff, always feel welcomed! Grew up eating Rudy's, this is our favorite Rudy's in town! Love the Value meals, Cooks respect our vegetarian life style! Great Food, Good Value, amazing staff! read more

This is a family owned business that takes great pride in their restaurant. The food is always good and the service is great. Alec is so cool! read more

The food was barely warm. And when speaking to the staff they are very short and seems to not want your business. I'd recommend any other Rudy's in the quad cities to eat at but this one. read more

So, i suppose it was my fault for getting food here on Taco Tuesday & Cinco de Mayo. I can understand the fact that they were busier than expected. I can also understand the fact that the order took 37 minutes longer than they said it would. However, I can't understand why no one in the kitchen was wearing gloves while handling the food in the kitchen...especially during this pandemic. The staff was even complaining about how busy they were. One woman was walking around saying , "I'm done. I'm done." and plenty more. Quality apparently wasn't an issue because when I finally returned home from picking up my food there was a hair in it. read more

This place used to have some of the best food around. Last couple times I've eaten here, the enchiladas have just been downright disgusting. I miss when this used to be an awesome place to go... read more

We ordered food to go around 8pm. We were the only ones in the restaurant. We ordered chips and guacamole to go in addition to our meals. I watched them pour guacamole from a purchased container into a white To-go container. EXTREMELY disappointed. Tacos were supposed to be street tacos and they just had cheese and lettuce. We will never be going back. read more

We have always been rudy fans! Their enchiladas are to die for and so are their rice and beans! I'm always craving it while at college so it's always a must when i go home! read more

This location was just OK. Went specifically for the Taco Bar, which was plentiful. It offered beef (no chicken ?!?),beans, chili, and all the usual toppings. Hard shell, soft shell, tortilla chips and taco salad bowls were provided. The hot queso tasted like canned cheddar sauce...no spice to it. Thought the price was a little high but I left filled. Rest of the menu is similar to other locations. read more

The food is never hot, it's overpriced and the customer service is lacking. I do like the Rudy's in the west end. Why they act like they're doing you a favor, I'll never know! read more

Worst experience, ever. I really hate to give bad reviews unless it's needed, and I feel it's needed this time. My mom, ten month old daughter and I went here today. I ordered the lunch buffet with eager for $10.49 and my mom got an order of tacos and a soda. I got my TEN MONTH OLD daughter a tortilla, a little meat and some black olives. She didn't touch. Not one bit. She actually threw it on the ground (which I asked the waitress if I could have a broom or something so I could clean it up and she looked at the ground, looked irritated and then said it's fine she'll get it later, I picked up what I could of the food anyway.) So as I said, my daughter didn't eat any of the food. I figured since I got the $10.49 lunch buffet, I'd be okay to give her a little bit, too. I guess not because for that barely ONE little taco, we were charged $5.49!!!! For a kids one taco meal (which apparently includes fries and a drink, which we didn't get because we didn't order this meal. I only gave her some taco from the taco bar since I was getting it anyway). I thought it was safe to assume that anywhere you go, most kids even under 5 eat free, and especially if they're under ONE year! I guess not here!!! The cashier did nothing about it when we brought it up. She just stopped talking to us. My mom called to speak to a manager and he says 'you have to understand that if she threw the taco on the floor, that's money down the drain for me.' I totally get that, but it wasn't even a full taco and I got the taco buffet anyway!! So it shouldn't have mattered. Along with all of that, never was asked for a refill or anything. This is the worst service I've ever had, which sucks because we love Rudys! Not this one anymore! Thank goodness there's more in the QC!!! read more

Rudy's tacos is a great place to go. Mexican food that is a little on the American rather than Mexican side -- but always done well. read more

The woman at the drive thru at 7 pm on 7/26/2014 was tweaking bad...it was painful to watch the entire time I waited for my food. I will not be going back to this location! I can't believe the caliber of employees this location! hires. She also tried to overcharge me until I pointed it out then she beat herself up verbally the whole time she was trying to fix the register. I don't know if I was charged correctly or not. I hope she didn't keep my credit card info...she pointed out that people do that....Ewwwwwww...just Ewwwwwww read more

Dirty inside & buffet had spills of taco sauce all over. The refried beans were dry & looked like they've been sitting there all day & night. Went through the drive thru & the man had red taco sauce all over his plastic glove when serving my order to me. That's the last time I went there after seeing that. Gross!!!!! read more

The food is just so so. I only go to the drive through when I am in a hurry. The guy who is usually there could learn a few things about customer service. He never ever says PLEASE or THANK YOU - even when prompted. He CANT make change, doesn't know how to print out a receipt ( he said he had to go up front to get a receipt!). Tonight he took my money and then left the window and started washing dishes. I waited and waited for my order, finally I had to yell to him to see what the holdup was. My order was sitting on the counter - he had forgotten to give it to me! read more

Went through the drive thru ordered beef hard shell tacos. Best tacos ever!! I haven't been here in years since I moved. So glad I was close by. Gonna make the extra trip because I feel they are better than the East Village. read more

The food was mediocre at best, but it came at a premium price! I would have only given this place one star but the girl that waited on us was very nice. To me I guess that counts for something. read more

I cringe anytime someone suggests eating Rudy's. I can't decide if it is the overly greasy food or how dirty the place is. Probably the combination of the two as I think of how dingy it looks, I can't and don't want to imagine what it looks like where they make the food. read more
