Came home to visit family. Came here and they upgraded from the small shop they had behind Walmart to a big restaurant that used to be the clubhouse of the golf course that no longer exists. I'm glad they used the old business for good. There was open seating and the servers were sure fast and friendly. The kitchen is out in the open and you can see the chefs cooking . Margaritas are pre made but pretty good... I would prefer a little fresher. Food was super hot temperate wuss the salsa was so good..! Overall very pleasantly surprised...! read more

Rubalcaba Taco Shop - Chile Riano plate in the background, torta and roll tacos in the front - Mexican Near Me - Pahrump, Nevada

I found this little gem right here on Yelp! There is ample parking at this location. The inside is comfortable and modern, a very spacious dining room. I was greeted by a lovely lady with a happy and welcoming smile, she brought out warm chips and delicious salsa along with our tea and coffee. The menu had a very good selection of meals and we were impressed with the menu. We ordered the Chilaquiles and the beef chimichanga. Our meals were excellent, the rice and beans were authentic and flavorful the salsa and guacamole are fresh and delicious as well. I highly recommend this restaurant! The welcoming atmosphere and delicious food are some of the best in Pahrump! I know we are looking forward to coming back to try other menu items. read more

Food was amazing! Staff was friendly! Ambiance was nice! Not quite Mexican but nice. Only bad thing was the table was sticky.

Ate here at recommendation of a friend and it was delicious! Everything was seasoned perfectly and was fresh. Clean and very good service. Highly recommend! read more

This place has fantastic Mexican food and is a nice restaurant in Pahrump. I've been here about five times, and it's never crowded. I ordered two tacos and had the breakfast scramble. Service is not super quick, so expect to hang out and talk with your friends and family. Order a margarita & relax. They serve you chips, bean dip, and salsa. This used to be a golf course clubhouse. They have a really large outdoor patio area, but sadly there are no chairs or tables outside. They might use it for events, and there is also a larger fine dining style room that seems to be unused. I imagine this restaurant would do really well with tables outside during the cooler months. I also observed quite a few people coming in for takeout orders. If you are looking for good ambience, and a fancy restaurant in Pahrump, this would qualify. read more

Dropped in for an early dinner. The Margaritas were very good, I had shrimp and my wife had an enchilada and a chile relleno. Both were very good, as was the service. read more

Great food, nice atmosphere, one of Pahrumps best kept secret. Good price for the food. Definitely be back and recommend to all

I have been wanting to try this place since I am here all the time. First clue should have been only 3 cars in the lot at lunch time!! The Al Pastor was so burnt it was inedible. The potatoe had zero flavor. I'm so bummed. The waitress was nice. read more

We were extremely disappointed in the food here. My sister got the 2 cheese enchilada plate. The enchilada sauce tasted like eating raw, tasteless flour. I got the enchilada-taco plate, and a side of Crispy potato taco. All I can say about that potato taco is Yuk. If you like a Hash Browns taco with zero seasoning and slap some sour cream on it. Then this is the place. The beans and salsa were fair, just lacked any seasoning or garlic or anything. The oil they fried the chips and taco's in made the food tasted old. The service was great. The restaurant is clean and nice. read more

Great food and service. Is our go to Mexican food spot in Pahrump. Will be returning to try more of the menu!

I hesitate to leave any negative review anytime. Not a local. 2 day visitor to Spring Mountain Raceway/Ron Fellows. Arrived on a Wednesday @6:45pm. Not a single other soul in the restaurant. (?) Usual chips and salsa were brought to the table immediately. Ordered two margaritas, one blended, one on the rocks plus an order of guacamole for the chips. Margaritas were worst ever, blended tasted like water, rocks was too concentrated. Guacamole was worst ever. Paid for drinks and guacamole and left without finishing either for another nearby and quite authentic Mexican restaurant. It was very busy with much better drinks and guacamole, plus we had two very good Carne Asada y Chile Rellano. Maybe this was just a bad night for Rubalcaba. Running a restaurant is a big risk. I wish them better luck. read more

My husband and I found this place as it was the only one with potato tacos! It is now a weekly favorite. Great food, clean atmosphere good service. read more

Food was delicious, fast and fairly priced. The drinks were just as good. Friendly casual environment.

Disappointed with the beef fajitas,, were not served on a sizzling hot skillet like traditional fajitas at other restaurants and had small beef pieces instead of beef slices,, good flavor, bad presentation, not made right. read more

I'm so glad I found this Mexican restaurant in Pahrump! It's such a nice big clean atmosphere inside! You can order at front or sit down & they will come take your order. My son loved his breakfast burrito & I loved the menudo so flavorful but you must ask if you want hominy, so grateful they will add it because that's how I like my menudo! The complimentary chips are fresh, thin & crispy, the salsa is delicious! Very friendly staff ensuring all was well throughout our meal! Our lunch was perfect for our ride home, I will be back. read more

A tasty twist to Mexican restaurants everywhere. The food is as welcoming to the palate as a warm welcome to the ears. I've had many great bloody Mary's. This is my first bloody Mary that is as refreshing as it was tasteful, yum. Paris has the Eifle tower, Nevada has the historic Death Valley Inn, and Pahrump has Rubalcaba. read more

I had the carnitas plate and the boss had the machaca plate. The plates include rice and beans with tortillas. The machaca is a beef/egg dish and it was our server's favorite - for good reason. The carnitas was cubed and was crisp on the outside with lots of flavor. The crunchy texture reminded me of pork cracklings and I really enjoyed it. Overall, the food was very tasty and the service was very good. I think you will enjoy eating here. read more

Came here at 8:00 am for some breakfast deliciousness and they fulfilled. They have only a few breakfast items and we enjoyed them all. I had the Huevos Rancheros and they were really good. The red sauce was very mild, but add a bit of their red hot sauce and it was spot on. My husband racked about the breakfast burrito and he is a critic! My sons got the carnitas burrito and the asada tacos. Both enjoyed them. Plus-It was fun to see horses out the big windows! read more

Every time we fly in from Atlanta and ride out to Death Valley and/or beyond, we HAVE to stop here. The food is always amazing. It relocated once and we had to track it down. MUST TRY whether you live here or passing through! read more

Great environment with lots of beautiful decor and friendly service, the restaurant was pretty clean , food was pretty good , I had the Chile relleno , which is a stuffed pepper with cheese , drenched in a tomato sauce , the pepper was extra cheesy and the sauce was creamy not spicy more of a tomato flavor but good , also rice n beans pretty good .. my husband had the Camarones (shrimp) a la Diabla , which is shrimp in a spicy red sauce, he said it was really spicy but good . We also had flan for dessert , it was moist n sweet but not too sweet just right , loved this place definitely will be returning. read more

The food is delicious! The night we went the service wasn't great. Asked for things and never received them (chips, refills, to go boxes) We went on a Sunday evening the music was so loud we couldn't hear anything. I will try it again, but might try a different day & time. read more

Worst reaction from the chicken, all of us were sick. We won't be back. Should be less than a one star.

I've eaten at Rubalcaba's a few times. I'm not an enchilada guy but actually judge Mexican by its posole. Posole here is hit and miss. Sometimes it's robust nice broth. Seems always to have pleasant of meat and hominy but again posole is a soup/stew. Also traditionally posole is served with cabbage, lime , & cilantro/onion dice. There's comes with lettuce, onions, and some lime. The service is sometimes excellent sometimes lacking as with most small restaurants. The place is festive I've in mood but it's just above fast food joints. I've eaten at other Rubacalba's which are more like Roberto's but this one is a little better dolining area. Feel like taking a chance then give it a try. read more

I was at the Golden Nugget casino and asked the woman at the sports book where to grab breakfast. This was her recommendation. It's in a quiet spot, doesn't look like a restaurant. Walking in the place is immaculate. I had juevos rancheros , the enchilada sauce was superb. A delicious breakfast. read more

Taco salad was very good except they put the guacamole on the bottom!! Hubby had a shredded beef burrito and taco. He loved the burrito. Margaritas were soso. Mostly lime juice. Service is very good!! read more

Good and fast food. Great service. Highly recommended. Great atmosphere as well. I liked the wild horses outside. Haha

Very nice location. The food is good. Chips and salsa also good. Will come back Really liked my cheese enchiladas read more

We got take out from here on Cinco de Mayo. Rice was flavorless, guacamole was like avocado soup and the carnitas was mostly fat. Very disappointing considering the good reviews. Gave 2 stars because my husband enjoyed the Chile relleno. Will not be back. read more

The food is good, but the portions are way too small for the price they charge for take out. Rice and beans don't cost that much. Can't understand why such small portions. read more

Some of the most disconnected wait staff around with no interaction with customers. The shrimp with garlic was made from old fishy shrimp and bottled diced garlic. The margaritas were from the syrupy jug. My date carnitas were diced pork shoulder, no frying. What a dull experience. I'm from San Diego and know good Mexican food. This was gringo food. read more

Generous portions on the tacos. Steak was a little dry but overall the beef and pork were flavorful.
