Rudy's Little Hideaway

We had lunch/breakfast today. As usual, everything was tasty. Food was served hot and fast. Service was great.

Wasn't open even though Google said it was open, apparently they close every year from December 18th to Jan 4th according to a note on the door. Wasted my time driving here ? , owners please ? update your business hours days of operation on your Google store front.

This is right off 8th by motor city. I have eaten here a couple of times and always find the food very good for breakfast or lunch. Love the homemade tortillas chips and overall an amazing value at lunch.Parking: Entrance to parking is very steep for about 15 feet and might be tricky in the winter if it’s slick. Otherwise plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Casual atmosphere.

As with all places, Rudy's Hidaway has its good and bad, but my wife and I agree that it's worth going again for a second impression.Vibe: We have several places around Texas that we are fond of, and as far as the atmosphere goes, we felt right at home with the mom and pop Mexican decor. It felt like one of the places we love in Austin.Service: Service was severely lacking. Although there were 3 or 4 staff running in and out of the alcove we were sitting in, it still took 10 minutes to get menus, and another 5 or so to give a second drink order. All in all, it was 20 minutes to actually receive a cup of coffee and a tea. The food order and delivery timing were much better after that.Food: While my wife loved her breakfast nachos, I was less than thrilled about my chorizo scramble. Her nachos were actually VERY FLAVORFUL. We were both impressed and recommend them highly. As far as the chorizo scramble. They were severely lacking, to say the least. The chorizo was probably the best I've had in a long while (and there was plenty of it), but other than the chorizo scrambled eggs, and hash browns there was nothing else on the plate. It needed some pico, beans (shocked they weren't there), and maybe some sour cream or avacado to break up the grease on grease of the eggs and potatoes.If not for my food, I'd have given a 4th star, but the haphazard service would still have been an issue.We both decided to give it another go, so an update might be in order.Yes, we do recommend the place for breakfast, but be aware of the shortcomings.

Great food and service. Would totally recommend to anyone.
