If you haven’t been here yet, it is a put on your bucket list of restaurants! The puppets are amazing, interesting, fun, and for some a little scary. I love all the old time tables and chairs. We only ordered a couple of tacos each. They were filled with a generous portion of taco meat, lettuce, marble cheese, and tomatoes. We both were stuffed by the time we finished. The people working were both friendly and helpful. Our food was served hot and in no time at all.

One of the go-to legendary institutions for Mexican in CF/Waterloo. Ambiance is beautiful combination of traditional Mexican puppets, art, & retro/ vintage furniture design. Food is well executed, tons of fun hot sauce to explore to make it a fun experience, and great beer selection. Don’t sleep on the French Silk Ice Cream to finish.

Rudys is a great establishment. The food is always fresh and the portions are pretty big. It tastes great but is very american mexican food in that it isnt traditional mexican at all

I never give 5 stars to all areas. But Rudy's Taco's, in Waterloo, Iowa... 👌🏽👏🏽🫶🏽 ON POINT! Their service is amazing! It did not matter if it was the girl behind the counter, or the 2 ladies serving. They always have a genuine smile, everytime you asked for something, they were quick, polite and, most importantly, very VERY patient..
