When in Galveston the best dining experience is Rudy & Paco! This was not our first visit and certainly will not be our last. The food is always on point and the services is always what you expect from a fine dining establishment. Don't let the casual atmosphere of the island deter you from a great evening. We enjoyed a long 3 hour meal with friends, shared a bottle of French wine and even splurged on desert when we were truly full! To say I recomend dining at Rudy and Paco is an understatement!
