Rudy's Tacos — Restaurant in Eldridge

This is an Americanized Mexican restaurant and is NOT authentic Mexican food.

I am new to the Quad Cities area from MSP and was told I had to try this place as it is a staple in the Quad Cities area.

Service was very quick and overall food was very good for an Americanized Mexican restaurant.

Overall I am very impressed with the establishment and the service as a whole and again good Americanized Mexican food but this is not an authentic Mexican restaurant.

We ask for hot and mild sauce and only got hot. The cook and manager were in the back and 2 counter kids talking to each other. The cook in back had no hat or hair net. He was wearing shorts ( um hot food???? If a spill happened nothing to protect him?) Not impressed....

Nothing seems home made. No real flavor or seasoning on the meats. All the ingredients are fresh, meats might be frozen but it all ends up being bland. The chips are clearly store bought and it leads me to believe that everything else is too. I asked for a side of sour cream (dining in), and they handed me a tiny lunch room style packet of sour cream. Seems like an unnecessary shortcut considering sour cream is cheaper when bought in normal containers. Hope they take this as constructive criticism and make...
