Bottomline - Some of the best street tacos in San Diego. Seriously good meat.
I have no idea how a hole in the wall convenience store in Solana Beach ends up having some of the best Mexican food in San Diego. Logic would suggest that the closer you get to the border the more authentic the food would be. Not in this case.
The star of the show here is the meat. The carne asada has that great grilled taste. The cabeza is crunchy and tender at the same time. The carnitas is juicy and unctious. The al pastor is sweet and savory. The al pastor is actually my favorite here. Rudy's recipe is orginal yet familiar, with carmalized onions replacing the pineapple for sweetness.
While I recommend just getting the street tacos, they do have all the usual San Diego Mexican fare, including breakfast burritos. And it is a full convenience store as well, so you can also pick up beer and cleaning supplies if you wanted. If you're just coming for tacos, inside seating is rather limited, but there is a patio out front with several tables. It's usually pretty busy though, so you may end up eating in your car. In my humble opinion it's worth it.
Rudy's food has soul. Many restaurants lack that. So don't be scared off by the Solana Beach address, as this is the real deal.
As a Canadian I had no clue
As a Canadian I had no clue what real carne asada was supposed to be. Rudy's showed me the light. This is place is what all taco shops should be.
Before I enter the Ruby's, I
Before I enter the Ruby's, I have no idea about Taco.But when I taste it I fell like this is the best food I've ever tasted. Also the place is fantastic. Its not like the other restaurants where only food is good but the place or the tools are not good. I think Ruby's has installed the Basement Dehumidifier .Because air is so clean and place is so refreshing. I think this is the all in one place. Good food plus good place to celebrate.
