My fiancé and I came here for lunch after our original choice was closed for a private event…read more We were the only ones there and it did take some time for our appetizer to come out. We had fried cheese which was described as "Crispy, Halloumi-Style Queso Freir, Topped with Tomato, Jalapeños, & Hot Agave." It was good, but not "blow me away" good. It came with 4 pieces, so not really enough to share with a large group. For my tacos I had the crispy pumpkin, sesame chicken and spicy pork. Out of the 3, the crispy pumpkin was my favorite. The sesame chicken and spicy pork were "basic" speciality tacos and nothing about them really set them apart from other establishments offering the same. The crispy pumpkin though...so unique and had great flavor. My fiancé had Ruby's signature bowl and added chorizo. He enjoyed it and it was a very generous portion. Service was decent.

I don't say this too often, but Ruby Soho's is perfection!…read more From the staff being awesome, Chris and Caitlin ((hope that's the way she spells it)) were beyond nice and professional. Always checking to see if our glasses needed to be filled or just seeing if we were still vibing. The music played is my type of tunes. Punk, Rock, and Emo... How could you go wrong?? Also the deco is raw, edgy and yet still welcoming. Surly a place you could chill for hours. They have a wide selection of beers on tap, and specialty drinks. And the food.. The food is of 5star quality. The shredded beef taco was seriously one of the best tacos I have ever had the pleasure of eating and the fried pickled jalapeños were surprisingly amazing. Far beyond what I expected... If you're in the area, I 100% say stop on in! You won't be disappointed!!

My second time at Swell Taco (I absolutely live for the good foodie finds in Babylon Village) was,…read morefor lack of a better word, *swell.* (I just had to do it, hehe.) We sat in their insulated outdoor area amidst string lights and beachy vibes, and every meal starts out with their addicting tortilla chips and salsa verde. (Pro-tip -- save some of this green salsa to have with whatever you order!) We tried their chicken flautas appetizer, and if you are a fan of all that is cheesy and crispy, you will definitely enjoy this one. My favorite item on the menu was next -- the Crunch and Munch ground beef taco -- this literally was an elevated version of Taco Bell's cheesy Gordita crunch, and it made me super happy. We also shared their shredded beef burrito (think barbacoa), which was a Saturday special, but honestly, any of their burritos would be worthwhile. (I dare say that the burritos also feel kind of light? They are not over-the-top in the best way possible!) If you're looking for a casual taco spot after a day at Robert Moses or Overlook Beach (or any day, really), definitely check this place out -- you will fall in love after the first flavorful bite.

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, and here is my review of the food right from the jump the food definitely did not disappoint.!! It was delicious! The service was great as well. You can definitely feel the family owned vibes from everyone in the place. Guest after guest came in and left with platters of food mostly they are famous empanadas and roasted chicken. There are about four small tables if you wanted to eat your food inside, but mainly while we were there folks left with platters of food. That's when you can tell a place is good when customers use a restaurants food for events and home-cooked dinners! I will definitely be back go here!!

They have fresh fruit juices also- tamarind, mango, pineapple etc. I got the fruit punch because they had finely diced fruit in it and it just looked delicious. A little sweet for me but I diluted it and got 2 drinks for the price of one so who's better than me. I got a lot of food - 3 tacos and 2 papusas with the fruit punch for $24. It will be 2 meals for me.

Great birria tacos, pupusas, and fish tacos. Definitely worth the trip just for the birria tacos.read more

La Mesa is so good…read more Located in a small parking lot with an unassuming storefront, La Mesa is exactly what you'd consider a hidden gem. When you walk in you're immediately greeted by a smell of delicious food and a beautiful and quirky interior. They have many drinks and snacks based on the Filipino and El Salvadorian roots of the restaurant! We've had many items off the menu but our favorites are the tocilog, longaniza, garlic rice, and tamal de elote. Portions are large and always fresh. Everyone who works here is also very nice and accommodating. They always substitute garlic rice when requested which I appreciate.

Everything had that fresh, made to order feel that immediately sets the tone for a great meal. The place was booming and the staff was so welcoming! The fish taco really stole the show. The batter on the fish was light, crisp, and perfectly golden. None of that heavy, greasy coating you sometimes get. It had a really clean crunch that let the fish itself shine, and every bite tasted fresh and beyond flavorful with the cabbage and crema on top. The carne asada mulitas were just as impressive. Rich, savory, and layered with flavor, with that perfect combo of melted cheese and grilled meat tucked into the house made tortillas. And the drinks tied everything together. The margaritas were super fresh and well-balanced, especially the spicy piña. No pre-made sour mix or after taste! You could tell everything was made with real ingredients bright, refreshing, and just the right kick of heat to keep it interesting. Overall, it was the perfect Cinco de Mayo stop! Great energy, fresh food, and standout flavors across the board. I will definitely be a regular here!

They offer a drink selection that includes fountain drinks, Jarritos, beer, and aguas frescas. There's also a self-serve area near the drink station with salsas and pico de gallo so you can customize your meal. We ordered the carne asada fries and a burrito taco, and both hit the spot. The flavors were on point. Prices were comparable to other spots in the area. They also have rotating daily specials listed on a board near the register. Parking is metered nearby, so keep that in mind. All in all, a good choice if you're in the area and want something quick, casual, and tasty
