Rudy's Can't Fail

I’ve never had a great meal at Rudy’s. So why do I keep returning? The food is reliably good, if unspectacular. Service is iffy, but the bar’s offerings can quickly remedy that glitch. And by sticking with the specials, one can eat and drink for a modest price. Officially named Rudy’s Tenampa Taqueria, although I’ve never heard anybody call it anything but Rudy's, the festive restaurant is just east of State Line on Westport Road. Friday night I left Rudy’s feeling happier than when I entered. Spectacular culinary experiences aside, isn’t that all one can ask of a restaurant?
