I went there today 6/3/17 with my kids. It is located in my parents town. The salsa they give with the chips is very good. Thank you Jesus. That is the start and hope to any Mexican restaurant. I ordered the horschata drink(which is made fresh the server said and it was good stuff) and the two steak taco dinner and got 3 more steak tacos and 1 more chicken. It was filling. We enjoyed everything. The bill was $21 and I left a $12 tip. I would go back again. -Jason read more

Yummy! Good prices and great food! Friendly staff! They have fairly priced catering as well I can't wait to try.

I'm simply confused as to how people are rating this place with 5 stars...it was bland to say the least. We ordered chicken and steak items and everything was dry with no flavor. The beans were subpar and the rice was average. Maybe we got a bad batch? There are too many options to make this one your go to... read more

Rubens is incredible all around. The staff is extremely friendly. The prices are more than fair. The food quality is top notch. I get carry out at least 1 day a week. Everything I have tried so far has been great and they have it ready within 20 minutes most days. My favorite item is the pazolé. It's incredibly delicious and authentic. read more

Just obtained catering from Ruben's for a family party and could not have been more pleased. Everyone raved about the food. We enjoyed the Fajita Fiesta Pack and the Chicken Enchildas. The fajitas, enchildas, rice, beans, chips and salsa were all excellent and everything was at perfect temperature. Delicious ! read more

Rubens Mexican Grill is amazing. The food is the best Mexican food around, and plenty of it. The prices are reasonable and the owners are so friendly and amazing. Please make Rubens your "go to" Mexican restaurant. read more

Honestly when I walk through the doors I was disappointed. When isaw how small the place is I wanted to leave. The waiter was ok, the food was not so great. My biggest problem with this place was absolutely no flavor in the meals.... seriously no taste..... read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Rubens. Meals are made to order. Food is fresh! Owners and servers are efficient, pleasant and accommodating. Great as a catered event too! Very generous portions. My "go to" for Mexican food! read more

My favorite Mexican place!! The staff is so friendly and inviting! I never had better Mexican!!! The food is so fresh and seasoned perfectly! read more

Have been here several times and the quality is always superb. Have tried many different items and they have not disappointed. Carry-out is just as good as on-site dining. Will definitely be back and have recommended to many others which have also enjoyed it. Give them a try! read more

The downside to this wonderful place is they are often very busy and the inside is VERY cramped -- especially annoying since everyone seems to love to bring their screaming toddlers here, but that's not the restaurant's fault. The place is clean, the servers are very friendly, and the food is delicious. The menu is more along the lines of El Salto than a super-authentic place, so you won't be confused or overwhelmed by the menu. As you can see by the pictures here, they do a great job of presenting the food, too. read more

We love Ruben's for its unique flavors and excellent margaritas. It's an out-of-the-way place that is a must to find. read more

Ruben's Mexican Grill - The smell of fajitas is in the air - Mexican Near Me - Dyer, Indiana

I went here for my birthday. It's not a big place, but they accommodated a group of twelve and made it work. I had the empanada dinner with chicken. It was delicious! The crust had a soft, flaky texture. I highly recommend Chef Paco Donitas for dessert. Fresh doughnuts sprinkled with cinnamon!!!! I can't wait to go back and try their breakfast menu :) The waitress was very friendly and broke down the bill to make it easier for us to pay separate. Excellent food and service!!!! read more

Great authentic food. We stumbled on this place a few years ago and choose this place over others in the area. Seating is limited but not to the point you are on top of each other. read more

Absolutely my favorite Mexican Food!! The service is amazing. You feel the love put into every bite!!! Ruben & Hilda make you feel like you're family or friends there. My favorite are the steak taco's and the tamales (newer to the menu). The tamales are light and tasty. Wednesday are great for 1/2 price margaritas. If you order to go - I recommend the family pack; talk about bang for your buck!!! read more

There chicken pozole is the best nachos are soooo good and friendly staff.really small but i will be going there again for the food.

Had the new shrimp in adobo, amazing flavor, perfectly cooked shrimp. Service as always was great, makes you feel welcome always. read more

Ruben's Mexican Grill - Shrimp in adobo, great flavor, cooked perfectly. - Mexican Near Me - Dyer, Indiana

Went to this place for the first time today and was very pleased. This restaurant is located in a small cute corner space in a little plaza . Walked in got seated right away. The restaurant was clean, the servers were nice. On Sundays they had a special for kids were they eat free with any adult entree. I had the 3 taco dinner plate, my husband had the burrito plate, one kid got the chicken strips with fries ( I know, we are at a Mexican restaurant, but this kid is hard to please) and my other kid got a cheese quesadilla. They had the best tasting steak meat I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. The rice and beans were good, I've had better, the horchata was good and the steak burrito was good, my husband liked that it was lightly grilled. The kids liked there meals, my son couldn't finish his quesadilla it was kinda big for a kid. I didn't care much for the salsa that was given with the chips when we sat down. We spent under $30.00 with tip for a family of 5. The meals are between $7.00 to $16.00. The bathrooms were clean and did have a baby changing station. Overall liked it, would go back again and I LOVED the steak. = ) read more

Average quality food and too high of prices. While the drink selection was very limited, it was decently priced. My wife and I came here because it was highly recommended by a family friend, but we honestly don't understand the raving 5-star reviews. We have been to 4 other Mexican restaurants in the Dyer/Munster/St. John/Highland area that have much better food with comparable or lower prices and superior service. We likely won't be returning to Ruben's Mexican Grill, so the fans of this place can have all their hearts desire. read more

This place is the freshest and most delicious Mexican restaurant in NWI! All of the tortillas are made fresh. The margaritas are priced perfectly. Their salsa is my favorite they roast the veggies they make it with; the other sauces are also equally delicious. It is a small place with small menu but the service is always great and it's reasonably priced. read more

Delicious food! We were in the mood for Mexican and were in Dyer and it was worth the trip! Had the taco salad with carne asada and their line cilantro vinaigrette was super yummy! read more

Margaritas. Awesome. Fajitas de Pollo..awesome. This is authentic Mexican food. TORTILLAS FROM SCRATCH ! I shall return.

Have been hearing great things about this Mexican restaurant for a while now. Finally decided to come in, what a better excuse than to celebrate my sons college graduation on 12/16/2012. WOW!! Is all I have to say. The food was delicious.. I tried the homemade empanadas with steak, best I have ever had and my husband tried the chicken fajitas. They came out sizzling from the kitchen, the chicken was seasoned and grilled to perfection and the green & red peppers were fire roasted. They even make their own homemade tortillas. There was a total of 11 of us and everything that was served to each and everyone of us was homemade. Can't wait to go back and have the carne asada. We didn't have it but the table next to us did, and they were raving about it. I am Mexican and have been eating Mexican food all of my life & I can honestly say, this is by far the best place I have eaten at in a long time. Service was excellent too. Nicole was so friendly and attentive to us. Will be back to celebrate Valentine's day..I already put in for our reservations!!! read more

The very best Mexican food in Northwest Indiana! Sometimes the wait is long, but only because the food is made to order. Just enjoy some chips and salsa with a few Tecates until it arrives. Staff is amazing. Highly recommended read more

A very solid place for Mexican. I like the small atmosphere. I do feel that they focus on a fresh menu rather than a large one. I try something different each time and always enjoyed my meal. Margaritas are one of my favorites.! read more

I love coming to Ruben's. The owner's and staff are very welcoming. My food is always hot, and fresh when it comes to the table. The food is excellent. My kids also enjoy this place. read more

We have been on a hunt for good Mexican food since we moved into the area a few months ago. Until now, every visit has been a colossal disaster. The Mexican food here just doesn't stack up against southern California. But Ruben's is the closest we've gotten. Good service. Well seasoned food. Recognizable menu. We'll definitely be back. read more

We have done take out from here three and each time the food had been good. Everything is fresh and well seasoned. I'd love to eat in so I could try a margarita, they look deelish!! read more

Really Good Food. Great For The Area. Wish They Had More Vegetarian Options. Good Dessert. Always Very Happy.

This is real deal authentic Mexican food. Fresh to order. Nothing generic, nothing canned. Most days you'll see Ruben or his wife Hilda and them greet you with a smile. Ruben had opened restaurants as an executive chef around the world and his expertise is apparent at his restaurant. The prices and extremely reasonable, food is cooked quickly and to order. My favorite are the pork (pieces) and carnitas (shredded pork). Their taco packs to go are also great and allow you to assemble the tacos at home with your loved ones. I can't say enough good about this place and hope you'll give it a try so you can see the same. read more

Fantastic Mexican Food! Fantastic Service! Clean, Top Notch, Chicago quality Mexican restaurant in NW Indiana! If you are looking for a great Mexican restaurant in NW Indiana, look no farther! This was our 2nd visit here, with our 1st visit about a year ago. While the 1st visit was quite good, today's visit (5/8/15) was SUPERB! This is a family owned restaurant and so much better than any of the Mexican chains. Home cooked, delicious food that you won't find at the run of the mill chain restaurants. What else makes this restaurant superb? Fresh, authentic, high quality menu items, served in a clean, comfortable environment. We were seated quickly and were treated to freshly made chips (fresh and hot!) with homemade salsa (some of the best we have had). We then enjoyed the steak fajitas (fantastic, huge portion, served on a sizzling platter, nicely caramelized and seasoned just right). A big bonus: HOMEMADE, Corn tortillas. Fresh off the griddle and delicious! We also had enchiladas (steak) with tons of gooey melted cheese and a nice red sauce. The entrees were served with the usual guacamole, sour cream, lettuce and tomato. Nicely presented and great tasting! Feeling very satisfied, we were ready to call it quits, when our waiter suggested we try the homemade donuts sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. 10 donuts ($4). Raspberry and chocolate sauce drizzled on the plate and absolutely wonderful. Soft, hot and fresh. At the end of the meal, Ruben's wife stopped by the table and chatted with us. In speaking with her, it was obvious the they are dedicated to making this the finest Mexican restaurant in the area. I can unequivocally tell all of you Yelpers that they have succeeded in their quest to bring some of the best Mexican food to the area, along with great service, friendly staff and a great value. If you are looking for a fantastic Mexican meal, take the journey to Ruben's. You will find no better! read more

I only have one word this place: yummyliciousness! Came out the salsa first which was right on point! Their homemade tortillas were yum. Got the chicken and steak plates with veggies, bean and rice. Very tasty all around. read more

YUMMY! Great Food and Service!! The food is very authentic. Had the guacamole as an appetizer, very fresh and delicious. Just added carnitas to the menu. I had carnitas fajitas, it was melt in your mouth delicious. Left there stuffed with leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Everyone agreed their food was delicious. The margarita's were fantastic, and prices were very reasonable. This was our first visit and we will definitely be back. read more

Really enjoyed lunch here today! The staff is very friendly and inviting. The food is very fresh and you can tell made in house! Definitely recommended! read more

Margaritas are tasty, haven't been to a place other then our normal stop for margaritas so it's refreshing

I have eaten here a few times and carried out a few times. Service is good, food average. The dining room is small and crowded with tables and chairs, the place you will bump into people or furniture no matter what you do. Its expensive for average food and a cramped dining room. If I had a choice I would go down the road to La Cecina for a much better overall dining experiance and food quality. read more

Love it! Salsa, Drinks, Apps, Mains, and Desserts--- yes, I have tried a lot. Holy cow, I have yet to put a bad bite in my mouth! The couple times I have been there with others, they have also been pleasantly satisfied. The guacamole was excellent, I loved the nachos, the Carnita's was probably my favorite thing (and I LOVED the margarita I had) so- go, try stuff, and if you need a partner- hit me up! read more

Great food and service. Salsa is delicious and the homemade donuts are a must to complete the meal. Love the small atmosphere inside.

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
