Rudy Navarrete's Mexican Food — Restaurant in Sioux City

When I arrived, I had to ask if we seat ourselves after staff walked passed multiple times. They said yes and sat myself, waitress walked by multiple times about 10 minutes even after I got my own menu. Waitress didn’t seem very friendly. Took my order and still waited almost 30 minutes and no food, no napkins and no silverware. I watched one waiter have the same gloves on while touching computer screen, bussing tables and taking food from the kitchen to customers. I paid for my drink and told the waitress I was leaving. I asked if they had a manager working and she said there is no manager working and snapped back with your food was just about to come out. I then explained the issue of cross contamination and service. On my way out she decided to stop at another employee and complain about what I said. Upon leaving I walked out the back door entrance and noticed the dumpster fire called their kitchen. Food everywhere, employees standing around, not swept or mopped. Couldn’t distinguish between what was a plate going out to the customer and a plate that just got bussed.Thankfully I didn’t...

This place is truly a gem! A great version of Tex Mex cuisine that is much different than what you would expect. Be prepared to award your tastebuds when you come and visit. The chips and salsa that they brought out was a generous portion! You could tell the chips were made in house. It is the salsa, though, that will surprise you. It comes out in a bottle, but warm. It is a red chile version that has such a great flavor! It has a great heat level to it, that will get you to take a couple of sips of water here and there! I had the lunch special, which was a corn Entomatada. It is is very thin, soft, but long corn tortilla stuffed with beef, then topped with a mild red sauce, onions, cheese, lettuce,, and olives. SO good. I added sour cream to my dish to balance the richness of the sauce. The place is clean, staff extremely friendly. Almost has an old school market feel when inside, with picnic table style dining. This place is a must try. You won't be...

It was the worse I've ever eaten from either naverettes, I have had their food since I was 5 years old, horrible, the original owner would have been embarrassed, the waitress didn't charge me anything because she could see the meal was horrible. The best was the pre made chips and the old hot sauce in the bottle, I will never go back and will only eat at the original naverettes. I know their food can be better and only hope they put effort into it next time, just imagine a kid eating with his parents 41years ago and still loves the Mexican food- but tonight was horrible. Please take the time to do better because your family name is important, but I will only go to naverettes the original. Please please do better. Thank you to the waitress but I got sick tonight ....
