Rudy’s Grill & Cantina

Cactus-shaped glasses, a terra cotta–roofed indoor bar, and serapes are all part of the kitschy charm at Rudy’s, where the house margaritas are icy-cold, the perfect balance between sweet and tart, and a bargain at $3.50 for a generous “small.” In fact, Rudy’s claims it’s “home of the best margarita in Texas,” and while there’s stiff competition for that title, the ones served here are very tasty indeed, not to mention perfect paired with an order of mini pork tacos (served with pineapple, like traditional tacos al pastor.) Don’t miss the expertly seasoned black bean soup, served with pico de gallo and shredded queso fresco.
