Pros: Grilled chicken taco salad is the tops!!! Better than any other I've ever tried. Cons: small place, so tables turn over slow, but worth the wait read more

Queso fundido is an absolutely must. I typically get that, the guacamole (which is pretty good), the steak burrito (ahich is good, but a little dry at times). Although I call it dry, that is a testament to the fact that they use good ingredients that don't necessarily give off all the fat of cheaper meat. Everything is made to order and thst is wonderful. The margaritas are also awesome. The only reason for the drop in stars is the fact I sometimes like the greasier stuff. read more

Great service, Fresh salsa, Excellent Margaritas and Homemade tortillas. I ordered the Carne Asada which was presented very nicely (I added a picture of it). Unfortunately, the steak was a bit tough as it had some areas of silver skin and gristle. It did have good flavor and was cooked perfectly (ordered medium rare), but it was just a bit too tough for me. A nearby table ordered the chicken fajitas, and it was some of the juiciest chicken I'd ever seen. It looked stupendous, and smelled even better. I'll be back, but prob wouldn't order the carne asada again. read more

See all

Food is very good. Restaurant is small. Guacamole was very good. Margaritas are good! Will definitely go back!

Guacamole is fantastic. Margaritas are great, as well. Go on Wednesdays for half price margaritas. The fajitas for one is plenty big for two people. Service is a little slow and seating is crammed. Not a lot of room for a waiting area and there's no bar. Would not recommend a large group due to limited seating. One of the better Mexican restaurants in the area read more

The food here is always so fresh, best salsa in the area. The horchata is made fresh...you can taste it. The margaritas are to die for...best place for Mexican food in this area. read more

We had been here for dinner...the restaurant is small and cramped...but that's a good thing...the kitchen is not just cranking out premade stuff but fresh yummy food. We did carry out last night and it was wonderful 8oz steak, great beans. The rice is just ok. Wonderful tortillas. Great guacamole! We also tried the empanadas (open face for lack of better terminology) - yum!!!! My husband added lettuce tomato and cheese to it and it reminded him of tacos growing up in Los Angeles. Definitely our new take out place. read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! Can't beat half priced Rubens patron margaritas on Wednesdays. We have tried and liked most everything on the menu but we always have to get the guacamole! Yum read more

Reuben's is a gem of a local family-owned Mexican establishment. The food is excellent and the margaritas are even better. I recommend the Reuben's Patron margarita - it has a hint of pineapple and lime and is out of this world. The dining area is small and the hours are slightly limited, but overall I highly recommend! read more

Pretty good food and salsa was great! Hot sauce had a good sting to it.

Loved it. Great salsa...good margaritas. Loved the El Pastor Taco and the Enchiladas. Would definitely go back. read more

Absolutely delicious! We had the cheese /pepper dish for an appetizer and it was scrumptious. I ordered an egg dish which was a speciality of theirs and could not finish it because of the huge portions. Everything was great...salsa, chips, enchiladas , flan, service, ambiance. This definitely is a " go back to" restaurant because all of the pieces fit together so well. Our waiter was more than helpful too. Prices more than reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

Great staff - Ruben will do anything to make your toco and margarita experience better. Good toco joint!!!!

The restaurant is very quant. I ordered take out and the taco salad was excellent. I would definitely go back again !

Great people, excellent food and Hilda's margaritas are awesome, love that they're made by scratch. Food is always fresh and their staff is very friendly. Wish it was a little bigger, but so good, it doesn't matter. read more

Love love love this place! Everything is delicious, and owner is super friendly! Steak tostadas, queso blanco, and the street corn are my favorite! read more

Love this place. Although it's too small & claustrophobic inside for me. But I order take out often. Their food is always done right, always fresh & you get a lot for the money. friendly staff too. read more

Great tacos and even better margaritas! They have a large guacamole dip that is to die for! Waitstaff is always friendly and quick! Love this place!! read more

I go here for lunch quite often. They have incredible food and the service is fast. They have large meals or smaller meals on the lighter side. The chips and salsa alone makes this place worth it. I'll continue to go back! read more

Great food. Always tastes fresh. Love the half-priced margarita special on Wednesdays. Food is reasonably priced too.

Only good part of our dinner was the mango margaritas..BEST. DAMN. MARGARITAS. EVVVVER. Food was VERY BLAND unfortunately and we ordered a little of everything to tatse. Too bad. Worth the trip for the margaritas though read more

Great food great service one of mine and my husbands favorite Mexican restaurants love the margaritas and salsa & chips

If you like service that is quick and dependable, food to die for, and if you have a taste for margaritas this the place for you. Anytime I go the staff will go out of their way to make sure you have an enjoyable experience. Great place to dine in or order and pick up. The only Mexican Restaurant I go to anymore. read more

Go now! I had the steak torta and it was excellent! I liked the different salsa selections too. My margarita was filled to the rim and they did not skimp on the tequila. A great find while we were driving around. read more

Best Mexican food I've ever eaten, no joke. Homemade salsa and tortillas, huge portions, reasonable prices, great service. Highly recommend! read more

I first had Ruben's at a friends birthday party. It was so good we catered our next 2 events from there. The food is so good! We love the taco bar catering option but would like a smaller option for smaller parties, sometimes it's just too much food, but that's not the end of the world. We will always be back! read more

Love that place! Had the steak burrito dinner and it was awesome! No kidding the best steak burrito I ever had! Definitely my number one Mexican restaurant. read more

Better than average food, decent service. Atmosphere is just ok with poor overhead fluorescent lighting. Good margaritas. Overall, not too bad for the area. read more

The food is very good, authentic and not bland. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Love the Al Pastor Pork Tacos with adobe sauce. The new margaritas are made with real juice and not the cheap mix. read more

Excellent flavors. Quality Ingredients. Our party of 6 left satisfied and enjoyed talking about the meal on the ride home. From the freshly made chips & salsa to the appetizers and entrees. All made for a pleasurable dining experience. Have dined in and ordered carry-over for our family several times since. Visitors to our home now request we order from there when they visit. read more

We really enjoyed our lunch. Everything was so fresh looking and nicely presented. The lunch special was a nice value and very good. The retried beans were like homemade. We didn't ask if they were but all agreed that they were a great texture. Our service was beyond expectations, we were offered refills on our drinks and our servers kept asking us if everything good. We ordered the donuts to finish our meal and we're delighted with them. Do not leave without getting the donuts. read more

I have eaten here four times and I think it may be the last time. The food is very good(hard shell beef tacos). The chips and salsas are also very good. That's where it ends. The service is horrible. The staff is not even close to friendly. They seem to have the attitude that the customers are an annoyance. Zero people skills and no smiles. Getting a drink refill is next to impossible. But, they certainly get your check to you quickly. It's really too bad since the food is good. read more

Four of us all tried different dinners. All were excellent. Margarita's were excellent well, not watered down. We'll be back for sure.

I had Ruben's cater my husband's 60th Birthday. Everything was excellent!!! Served 50 plus people with a 5 day notice. Guests raved about the food! read more

Drive by this place all the time and finally decided to stop in for dinner. Loved it. I started my dinner with an orange margarita (since it was Wednesday, got it half price). The margarita was made with fresh squeezed oranges and not overly heavy on the sugar which made it the best margarita I've ever had! It was perfectly refreshing for a warm summer evening. For dinner I had the taco salad with chicken. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and it even came with a side of guacamole. My husband had the steak burrito dinner and was also very happy with it. And a big plus is that we didn't find our dinners loaded with fatty chunks like we do at other Mexican restaurants. I disagree with the previous post on the chips and salsa. The salsa tasted very fresh and wasn't loaded with salt like many other salsas out there. Great service, the entire staff was very attentive! Can't wait to go back! read more

My party of three stumbled upon Ruben's after a day of exploring Northwest Indiana. Let me just say that everything about Ruben's was great. The place is very clean and inviting. The wait staff was extremely polite and helpful. I'm not just saying this, I mean it! Our waiter answered all of our questions, was very polite and attentive. The food itself was delicious in every respect. From the chips and salsa to the steak tacos, fish tacos and rice/beans, it was absolutely perfect. On top of all of that, it was very affordable. I would without any hesitation recommend this restaurant to anyone. Delicious. read more

Such a great restaurant. Everything was so fresh and it was even a Thursday when we went. My bf had the Carne Asada and he says it was some of the best he's ever had and we've eaten at several mexican restaurants and this was by far one of our favorites. read more

Went there for the first time last weekend, and it was excellent! The food was fresh, very flavorful and a generous serving size. I had the steak and shrimp burrito and it was one of the best I ever had. The Patron margarita was delicious as well. The service was also very prompt. I look forward to returning next time I'm in the area. I highly recommend this little place. Well done, Rubens! read more

Best Mexican restaurant in Northwest Indiana. What a find. Fresh food, layers of flavors and grilled to perfection. Ample gluten free selections and very friendly staff. Clean washrooms and dining area. read more

We purchased their Taco Bar for our daughter's 1st birthday. Their was plenty of food and it was all delicious and well organized. They were friendly and helpful when I ordered and picked it up. Definitely worth the money. Best price on a taco bar I could find in the area. read more
