| - RuRu's was nothing exceptionally spectacular but nothing gut wrenchingly awful either. I will start with the positives: it is adorable, it has a nice feel inside the restaurant, a nice patio with its own bar, and plenty of seating available. Another plus... "There's no crying in baseball" is what one of the appetizers is named. Now, I know all of the items have movie related names but this is CLASSIC. (From one of my top 5 movies!) :)
Heads up for the chips and salsa lovers, they are not complimentary here you must purchase them. The chips were not our favorite because they did not taste fresh, but the salsa was extremely tasty--good ratio of chunky to juicy with a good spice to it.
My boyfriend ordered three tacos that afternoon (That's not a snowflake, Fat guy in a little coat, I'll have what she's having). It was nice that there was a small selection of $2 tacos for Taco Tuesday.
Tacos were plated nicely, they are of moderate size, a la carte for the tacos. He was full eating two of them after chips and salsa. I am a vegan so I had to be a little tricky in order to eat something here. Vegetarians have a few options with ease. The waiter, who was actually the bartender, was very patient and correctly took my order. I got the "You got no legs Lt. Dan" (another good movie quote, by the way) with no cheese or creme, add avocado. They were very kind to take this order with ease and it came out correct as well. My only complaint about the dish was that several times throughout eating, I would get a bite of hardened rice that literally snapped/crunched. I understand food prep, but maybe being a little more mindful on keeping the food fresh would be beneficial.
We had a margarita each, pretty classic taste, no complaints there. We did appreciate how hard the bartender was working to assist in waiting tables during the in-between lunch and dinner hours. He was also having to stock and mind to (both) the bars. He did a great job and was friendly.
It is a restaurant close to home and they do have tofu options, so it is filed away in our places to give another try in the future.
