Inside a plaza offering Cuban appetizers, sandwiches and bakery items. Cases in the front offer…read morecurrent bakery offerings but ask. If you don't see what you want, cause I found they had fresh croquettes in the back. Owner is fully bilingual and very friendly. Large dining area offers you spacious clean dining tables or take your order to go. Prices are very affordable and the food was delicious. Best part for me, of Cuban food is the flavor without the heat. The empanadas were delicious both the beef and the chicken. Perfectly seasoned without tons of grease. Recommend in the area, stop by for a pastry, appetizer or sandwich.

They sell cute coffee cups and textile purses/bags, as well as other unique items. Staff was friendly and coffee was good. They had a large selection of pastries in the case, but we didn't try any on this visit. My only downvote is for the protein coffee. I asked specifically if the whey protein had sugar/sweetener in it and they said it DID NOT. It was almost undrinkable because it was so sweet, once I added 1 stevia. So if you want protein coffee, their powder definitely is sweetened in some way. Otherwise, fun experience. I'd go again, but would try a different drink. My friends liked their drinks. The matcha was not sweetened and was good.

I pass by this place all the time when I'm in the villages, yesterday was my first time coming in…read more The environment is very nice and inviting, it's super cold inside so bring a jacket or a blanket. I didn't know that you have to sign in with your name and how many people are in your party. There's not a lot of seating so space is limited. It took about 20 minutes before we got our seat. The menu sounds really good. The portions are huge, and pretty price for the food. I was surprised. I ordered the cherry pancakes because it said it came with a cherry glaze so I thought it would be like a powdered sugar and milk glaze no the fake cherries and jam you buy in a can. I wasn't a fan of the cherries but the pancakes were actually very delicious I enjoyed the regular pancakes. The potatoes were not crispy and flavorless, I wasn't the biggest fan of the eggs. My boyfriend enjoyed his gravy and biscuits a lot I tried it and I thought it was a little undercooked but he liked it a lot. The coffee was good nice service. For this food we sort $39 before tip, and I was waiting for like 15 minutes before I realized you have to take your receipt to the cashier however I didn't get a recipe so I just walked up there and my waitress lost out receipt. Overall I give it a 3/5 maybe you will like the food. Try it out!

I walked in I was ignored... walked by 3 times by the same server. No smile and No "someone will be…read moreright with you". Finally, I was asked "how many?" Still no smile or follow me just grabbed menus turned around and started walking. My waitress greeted me with a smile, and fast and attentive. The atmosphere is great. Meals are fast, good and fair pricing. I will be back and hopefully be greeted with a smile next time because that makes someone feel like they are welcomed.

Food continues to be good at Thai Ruby. It's our only option for Thai in the Villages,…read moreunfortunately. My three star rating has to do with the ever increasing prices and ever decreasing menu options and ingredients. They used to have some good vegetarian appetizers like summer rolls, but those disappeared from the menu. Thai Ruby has done this ever since COVID and it's absurd. I was shocked to get two lunch items that jumped from the $18 menu price to $22 just for adding vegetables. That's over $50 for lunch, which is not ok in any reality. If we were people who didn't leave the bubble, I suppose we'd put up with this. Since we travel quite frequently, however, we will save our craving for Thai food for elsewhere. Why don't other Thai restaurants open somewhere close? There's definitely a market for them. If I choose to eat here, I'll limit it to their defined lunch items only.

After not eating here for quite some time, I thought I would give it another shot…read more Many of the appetizers are around $12, a Thai tea is $9 and Tom Kha Gai soup for two is $13.99. Tonight we ordered the Panang Curry with chicken for $18.00. The dinner entree comes with zucchini and red peppers. I explained that I can't eat peppers and politely asked if they could substitute broccoli or green beans. I was told they can't make any substitutions and could only provide extra zucchini. Why??? The soup was served warm, almost room temp, and the portion is small considering the size of the bowl. The curry was served with an extremely small portion of rice, about the size of an ice cream scoop. About halfway through the dinner, the server returned to check on us and I asked for more rice. When the bill arrived, I noticed a separate $4 charge for jasmine rice. At no point did the server mention there would be an extra charge. I could buy a whole bag of rice for that price! I brought it to the manager's attention and was told that it's considered a side dish and the price is listed on the menu. Unfortunately, we were not offered a menu after ordering and nobody verbally advised us that it would be an extra charge. Charging $4 for a small scoop of rice, without informing the customer beforehand, feels excessive and misleading. The food may be good, but between the high prices, refusal to accommodate a simple vegetable substitution and unexpected charges, the overall experience simply does not sit well with us. Their high prices, small portions, lack of flexibility and transparency has become frustrating enough that we will not be returning.
