    Veggie Burrito
    Brenda S.

    Ruben's is such a hidden gem in Baltimore. I've had their food from their food truck and the Fell's location. The burrito always comes STUFFED to the brim and their sauces are DIVINE. I love how fresh their food is and how quickly the service is for the food to be made ready to go. Perfect to grab at the fells point square area and sit outside and eat! Definitely can't miss this place if you're in the area!

    Chicken Burrito
    Darnisha E.

    Burrito was really small and didn't have a lot of flavor until I added the signature sauce which was really spicy but good once you mixed it with the liquidy sour cream packet. Luckily I had some homemade Chipotle vinaigrette that made it edible. The chicken was dry and there was more rice in it than anything.

    chicken Taco

    I loooooovvvveee their tacos. They are the most perfect tacos to me. My partner used to bring them home and they'd be delicious and reheated well. I finally went and ordered them myself and they were still delicious. They are very consistent. We walked up and rang a doorbell and ordered the food. You can see the kitchen through the window. I ordered my food through a window and waited for about 10 minutes for our food to be ready. I ordered the chicken tacos which are about 2.5$ a taco. My friend ordered the carne tacos. The corn shells are perfect. They are soft but firm. They hold all the filling well without tearing. I used to prefer flour tortillas, Bit this place converted me. The tacos are little but bursting with filling. I like how the chicken is very finely chopped. It isn't shredded or ground but just finely chopped. The texture is really good to me. It comes with the various toppings. But what really makes this amazing is the hot sauce that comes with it. It is spicy and full of flavor. My friend said her carne tacos were amazing and came with gucamole and a bunch of other toppings.

    Birria tacos
    Alise G.

    I have been searching for a good Birria taco spot in Baltimore for a while now. Ruben has delivered, I was on the Uber Eats app last night and noticed they had a promotion of buy one get one free. I placed my order and picked it up. When I arrived I had to ring a bell and a gentleman gave me my order through the window. Each Birria order comes with 3 crunchy tacos filled with beef, Mexican cheese, onion, cilantro and of course a side of consome. These tacos were so good, just melted in my mouth. The beef was cook to perfection and the sauce was well seasoned. I even used the left overs for my ramen noodles. I highly suggest visiting Ruben's if you are searching for some food Birria in Baltimore.

    I went to Ruben's to partake in Yelp's Celebrate the 410 deal. For $4.10, I got to try their Founder's Burrito. I must say this deal was a steal! The burrito was huge! It was loaded with chicken, steak, rice, beans, veggies, cheese, guacamole, and their signature sauces. Honestly, I could only ear half of it because it was so big and filling. The burrito is definitely shareable or can be split into two meals. Some other things to note... Ruben's is not a sit down or even a walk-in restaurant. You place your order at the window outside. This could absolutely suck if it's bad weather and you had to park blocks away while you wait for your food. They give you an estimated time that your food should be ready. I visited on a nice day so I just waited on the sidewalk until my order was ready. This is literally a to-go/carryout type of spot so don't expect to have anywhere to sit and eat here. If you absolutely can't wait to get home, you can check out the nearby Cross Street Market and utilize their seating areas. Nevertheless, the food is definitely tasty and worth it. I'd like to come back and try their birria tacos.

    Not gonna lie. This place is very mid. Reading the comments and watching videos it's clear that this place is the go to when you are drunk or late at night. Been a few times so far. Pretty basic. Flavor is there (most of the time) but the chicken is always dry smh. Got the steak a twice and the same thing. DRY! I'm thinking the meat is sitting out too long or it's being cooked too long. The veggie taco very good! Not sure if I would recommend this place if you were looking for really good tacos but I would recommend them if it's past 11:30 you're in Federal Hill hungry and on a budget it'll work for the night.

    Steak Tacos
    Frank P.

    This was a nice little Mexican restaurant that's near the Inner Harbor. We walked here from our hotel. They don't have any seating in the restaurant so be aware of that. I had the steak tacos and a chicken burrito. The steak was pretty tender and the onions on the tacos were very fresh. I liked the chicken burrito as well and I had a jamica as my drink. This meal was pretty good for the first place I visited in Baltimore.

    Veggie Rice Bowl
    Jasmine M.

    Got this veggie rice bowl for takeout! It had lots of vegetables and I really enjoyed how fresh it tasted. It had pico on top along with mushrooms, spinach, and beans. It was heavy on the rice. Overall, highly recommend getting takeout from here! They have a lot of other food I would be interested in trying, including tacos and quesadillas! They have $2 tacos on tuesdays at both locations! Their sauces are especially delicious. I particularly recommend the signature sauce to put on top because it's spicy and has a kick! The green sauce is also a great addition on top!

    Chicken & veggie taco
    Bell A.

    Taco Tuesday! I tried the chicken & veggie taco initially and loved it so much, I went back and got more within the same hour LOL. Staff is really friendly. Tacos are tasty and priced well. I also had some hibiscus tea on the house which was yummy. Definitely would recommend and go back.

    YES YES YES! Yes, I give them 5 stars. Yes, I would return. Yes, this place is awesome. I visited Ruben's today for the first time for the Yelp Event and I am so glad I did. I had never been before and it is just under 30 minutes from my house. There was plenty of street parking which you do have to pay for but it only cost me $1.00 for 40 min. There was a one dollar minimum at the pay station if you use a credit card. One dollar is better than a parking ticket even though I paid for more time than I needed. Upon walking up to Ruben's I learned that they don't have an inside at all for customers. It didn't even look like they did before Covid. They just have a kitchen. A friendly gentleman opens the door/window to greet you and take your order and payment. They do have a door bell to utilize if they don't see you but I did not need to use it. I advised that I was there for the Yelp Event and they were super ready and accommodating. I have been to some events where businesses act like you are a bother. That was not the case. I ordered the Cali burrito and the mango agua fresca. In addition, I ordered two tacos - veggie and carnitas. It took less than 10 minutes for my order to be ready at which time I just stood to the side on the sidewalk. I am honestly not the biggest fan of Baltimore but Ruben's has a great location and is surrounded by other nice businesses. Upon arriving home I was happy to see how well the food was packaged. It would survive any ride. The cali burrito was packed with plenty of meat and veggies. The two tacos were put together well and delicious! I loved how their sauces were packaged. Very convenient. The mango agua fresca was tasty and came with a completely sealed lid which was nice for transporting. All of the food was delicious. I have already recommended it to my friends who still work in Baltimore. I will definitely be back when in the area because they have several more menu items I'd love to try. The goodie bag with the hot sauce they provided for the Yelp event was super cute and had some unique Mexican candies in it. I thought it was nice they went above on beyond and even had a hand written thank you card thanking me for visiting their small business. Please note that you need cash to tip. I did not have cash on me which is one of the reasons I ordered additional items. Upon paying with my card I was simply given the receipt with no option to tip. I owe them double next time. I was slightly embarrassed because they were great!

    Mmmmmm! Good ole' comfort food in the form of tacos and home-cooked chips. We wanted some tacos…read moreand this spot was close, rated high on Yelp, and that's all we needed to know. Don't let the outside deceive you. Once you walk in you'll smell the fresh cilantro and chile. It took a bit to translate the menu, but you'll figure it out. There are plenty of options. The server helped us figure it out and we were set. I ordered the El pastor tacos, beans & rice, and tortilla chips. The tacos were theeee best! What I loved the most is that the corn tortillas didn't fall apart!!! I hate it when I go to eat a taco and it falls apart. They cooked the tortillas enough so they held up, but were still soft. Did I already say how good the tacos were?! Along with the meat is cilantro, some onions, and you can top it with some green chili sauce. Sooooo good! The pico de Gallo was some of the best I've ever had. I know what you're thinking. How could you go wrong with pico de Gallo? Yeah, I wonder the same thing, but this pico was FRESH with just the right ratio of tomato, onion, cilantro, etc. Next time I'll order two of them. The chips are restaurant-made. That was our first indicator that the food was going to be ALL that we hoped it would be. AND it was. The beans were pinto beans. Memories from home and the ultimate comfort food. The were cooked perfectly with just enough seasoning. The rice was perfectly cooked too. This is the taco spot you need to try.

    The entire menu looks great, but I really wanted tacos so that's what I was going to get. I ordered…read moretakeout from the counter. Super nice service. Good music, and clean restaurant. The tacos taste amazing.

    My friend brought me here for some tacos and I was so happy! I've been trying to find a yummy spot…read morefor tacos here in Baltimore since I've lived here and this is definitely a great place for some tacos! I can't wait to come back and try some more! Server was very attentive and nice as well

    Health: A menu with wide variety and genuine Hispanic cuisine is more than appreciated. Rice,…read moresalad, meat, soups. It's there and cooked without oil immersion or the awful trap of terrible portioning. Here, the nutrients shine. And that is healthy. Price: Decent. Very Decent. Everything I bought there was roughly over 45 dollars (before the tipping) and keep in mind, the condiments and sauces were complimentary. For this quality and quantity? I definitely got my money's worth. Experience: Wonderful server. Even in a busy dinner cycle, she came over and literally started to hand me a menu almost right as I sat down. Even gave me a great recommendation for the Enchilada platter and brought the holster of extras over to the table as well. The food was delivered quickly, and the small details (utensils, cleanliness, chair organization etc.) were great. Taste: Honestly this place is a standout for seasoning. It's flavorful, unique, and skewed towards spices over oil. Tasteful impact, without the baggage. A gem. Even among so many other restaurants serving this cuisine in the area I've tried, this is a standout. I'll come eat here again. You should too. It's right next to Patterson park with so many parking spaces nearby. I'm gonna run here. Soon.
