3.8 Stars overall (rounded up) but so much potential to be more! Let me explain.This place is a whole vibe! I always pass by and notice how busy it gets so I finally decided to try it for myself post 4+ mile walk! There was a live musician, playing tropical beats which I loved! Indoor and outdoor seating - I was able to grab a stool at the window so I had a perfect seat with fresh air, shade, and full access to hearing the music from outside. Limited seating so do be aware if you are coming with a larger party. For food, I got their chicken Cesar wrap - 3/5 stars for me. I was not impressed at all by the chicken, it was slightly dry and very bland if not eaten with the Cesar salad in the mix. Bummed as I expected way more flavor from the chicken alone instead of it being masked. There is a very small serving of their Cesar dressing they offer on the side, small cup. Other than that, I loved the crispy tortilla wrap and portion was ginormous! More than enough for just 1 person. Other items on the menu looked/sounded very tasty so I'll definitely be back to try more! (Hence my comment of increase in rating). I do recommend this business on your next Ocean Beach visit!

It's odd that I wrote a review for Ruby's and yet, I don't see it in my Yelp list of reviews! So, in light of that, this is a reposting of that review because I want Ruby's to get as much business as possible. They're a great addition to the neighborhood and I'd like them to stay around for a long time! Went to Ruby's for an early dinner/late lunch with a group of ladies and loved the friendliness and food! Monique, the proprietor, came to the table to check on us and to thank us for dining at her establishment. Even though they don't usually take reservations, she had a table set up for the 9 of us. We each ordered and paid for our individual orders at the counter, so there was no worry about someone either paying too much or too little. Our food and beverages were brought to the table for us. I had two tacos, the grilled fish and the ribeye, and they were both delicious! I was advised to eat the ribeye first and I did. Both were juicy and tender. My dining companions had a variety of dishes. The poke bowl looked amazing and the person who had it was very happy with it. The Fishermen's Stew also looked fantastic. The person who had that was a bit disappointed in the beginning because she thought it was more of a soup than a stew, but then she said all the seafood was under the soup and there was plenty of it. Others had the Rainbow Salad, a single fish taco, and the chips with salsa and guac. Everyone was very happy with what was ordered, but there was a lot of "I'll try that next time"! So glad to have this neighborhood gem here. Will definitely return!

3.5 STARS Gorgeous sunny weather in the city calls for tacos and beer on the patio! While there's no shortage of places you can get tacos in the city, where can you find Irish Corned Beef AND Smash Burger Tacos?! At Ruby's.... From the owners of Mission Rock Resort. Walk-in only, no rezzies. Order at the counter and your order will be brought to you. Self-serve water. Bus your own table. M E N U California beach-style fare: salads, tacos, and wraps. Beer and low-abv margarita. Weekday HH Deal: Discounted alkie. 4% SF surcharge. T A C O S * Carnitas w/ hoisin, cucumber, sesame, green onion, flour tortilla ($6.50) Best of four, the Chinese Peking duck-inspired taco was generously filled with warm, tender carnitas on a chewy house-made flour tortilla. It had a great balance of familiar sweet and savory flavors with a fresh crunch from the cucumber. * Ribeye w/ oaxaca cheese, pickled onion, house salsa, corn tortilla ($7) Sadly, Ruby's most traditional offering completely missed the mark. The ribeye was dry and underseasoned, and the mild salsa verde didn't add much flavor. * Irish w/ corned beef, cabbage, secret sauce, guinness mustard, corn tortilla ($7) Cabbage heavy with several paper-thin slices of corned beef, warmed up on the flat top. A thicker cut might be a better move since the corned beef was both dry and greasy. * Smash Burger w/ short rib & brisket blend, pickled onion, tomato, pickle, american cheese, secret sauce, little gem ($8) A viral TikTok hack of smashing ground beef directly onto a tortilla, searing it on a hot skillet, and topping it with cheese and fixings. I think the flat top may not have been hot enough? The beef drippings seeped into the center of the tortilla instead of forming an even, crispy crust. It ended up being too oily, with not enough acidity from the pickles and onions to balance it out. Lastly, this taco felt expensive for what it was. S E R V I C E Fast during Friday lunchtime. A M B I A N C E Casual, low-key with a handful of tables inside. Plentiful outdoor seating on the sidewalk and in the two parklets. Ideal spot to hit up before or after the beach. Overall, loved the creativity behind the tacos! Maybe it was an off day but most of the tacos I tried missed mark on execution and/or needed seasoning. Too bad they didn't have an actually spicy salsa to kick up the flavors.

It's nice to see this corner location occupied again after Beach'n sadly closed. That was a satisfying vegan spot, although their hours were challenging for me because they closed by 2PM during the week. The new owners, Nick and Monique Osborne of Mission Rock Resort, appear committed to serving lunch and dinner because they're open until 8PM. This is good news because I usually don't get to the N-Judah terminus until later in the afternoon. When I recently got off the MUNI train, I was so pleased to see this space open. I entered without giving any thought to the menu which fortunately featured several items that would've pulled me in anyway... artisan tacos, soups & stews, salads, wraps, even an ahi tuna tartare. I ordered the $16 Rainbow Salad, quite a lollapalooza of fresh and colorful vegan ingredients tossed decoratively. It managed to look healthy and appetizing at the same time. It was made up of little gems, red cabbage, celery, radish, cilantro, mint, huge florets of pickled cauliflower, pepitas, and the most flavorful ingredient, bits of sweet potato, all tossed in a lime vinaigrette (Photo 8). As I expected, it's not the kind of place with cans of Coke Zero, so I went for the $6 House Guava Soda which added a nice tropical note to my salad (Photo 7). I'll definitely come back for those tacos. It's not every day you see smashburger as a filling. FOOD - 5 stars...that rainbow salad was a lucky pick for me AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...nice beachside vibe, pretty spacious with plenty of outdoor seating SERVICE - 4.5 stars...friendly and proactive with follow-up TOTAL - 5 stars...glad to see the Osbornes committed to recreating their Mission Bay sprit way out in the Sunset RELATED - Exploring the Sunset?

When I arrived, there was a line out the door. It's a busy spot on weekends. They have decent amount of seating, but very limited indoor seating. Good, casual to grab a quick lunch with friends off of the beach The staff were efficient with ordering and getting drinks out. The food took a little bit to get out. The ahi tuna tare tare was good. My favorite taco was the carnitas one! The ribeye and smash burger tacos were good, but not my favorites. The Michelada was perfect!

Binh P.

New spot for food if you've been getting tired of Hookfish. Although I would stick with their tacos. Ordered the ribeye taco, carnitas taco, fisherman's stew, and chips and guacamole. The ribeye taco was honestly the best taco I've had in a while. The melty cheese, crisped tortilla, and juicy meat was spectacular. The carnitas taco had a large chunk of tender meat, but flavor wasn't as interesting. The fisherman's stew had a lot of pieces of fish, but sadly they tasted a little too burnt from the grill. And at times it just felt like I was eating a watery salsa. The chips and guac were good, but the flavor was a bit one note, mainly sour. The tacos are pricey at $7, but they are worth it.

Ruby's, on the corner of 48th and Judah is painted in sharp green, so it can't be missed! With interior and exterior seating, you order at the counter, pay, and the food gets delivered to you. Their tacos have all kinds of flavors, sauces and spices, making me want to try them all, although I had an appetite for only the carnitas and cauliflower. My friend ordered the ribeye which she particularly loved and the chorizo. The taco shells are homemade and yummy but they're slightly greasy. Nice spot close to Ocean Beach with warm and welcoming service. Will return to gobble some more!

I got the miso fish wrap. Although the ingredients were quite fresh, the fish could definitely be marinated for longer. It lacked that oomph factor that I was hoping for. Moreover it could have done with a little acidity in the taste profile.

Have been wanting to check out Rubys since it opened and I will be back very soon. Some of the best tacos I've had in SF, great drink selection, and such a fun laid back spot. My friend got the chicken Caesar wrap which I am eyeing for my next visit! Of the three tacos I had (ribeye, carnitas, and chorizo) the carnitas was my favorite!

Everything we ordered was delicious! The smash burger taco was the standout, and the fish tacos were fresh and full of flavor. The chips, guacamole, and salsa were the perfect start to the meal. Great food, great service, and I'll definitely be back!

Natalie G.

Loved Ruby's! Such an awesome family-run spot. Highly recommend the ceviche and chips, they were so fresh and flavorful. The tacos are great too, especially the fish taco. I think it could be even better with some pickled onions or a little avocado, but still really good as is. Everything tasted super fresh, and you can tell they use high-quality fish. The staff was also incredibly nice, which made the experience even better. Love this newer spot!

Smash burger taco, fish taco, blackened shrimp tacos

Great tacos and incredible poke! Staff if very polite and inviting as well. Added plus if you get here on a sunny day

Zoe G.

Such a cute spot at the end of the N-line. They really prioritize outdoor seating, perfect spot to enjoy the sun or walk to the beach after for a picnic. I tried the smash burger taco and it was very well balanced between the creamy cheese, sauce, pickles, lettuce, and pickled onions. Will definitely be back to try the breakfast tacos and the guava soda.

Newly opened neighborhood restaurant. Tried the tacos which were all excellent; shout out to the fish tacos, carnitas tacos, and breakfast-style chorizo/egg tacos. The salsa verde is very fresh and delicious...wish they'd bottle it! Service is friendly and efficient. A nice homely buzz about the place. Not much seating inside, but plenty of space outside in their parklet which is where we decided to enjoy our food. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

$15 for 2 tacos: The ribeye taco is literally a thin, 3"x3" square portion of meat on top of a 6" tortilla with half a teaspoon of pickled cabbage on top. The fish taco is a 2"x2" piece of fish on top of a 6" tortilla with a 1/4 shredded cabbage and half teaspoon of sauce. These tacos were pretty sad as there was more tortilla than actual toppings. They are screaming for seasoning of any kind. Very overpriced for the amount of food you receive. If you're looking for an "Americanized" version of Mexican food for picky eaters and those that avoid seasoning for medical reasons, this is the right place. I won't be back because I've had tacos from street vendors in Mexico City and this is more "I know what a taco is suppose to look like, let me charge 2-3x the going rate of tacos and see what happens" read more

Didn't mean to eat here. Stopped by after a beach sesh to checkout the menu and decided to give it shot since it was packed and poppin. I got the poke bowl which I thought was going to be skimpy, so I ordered a rib eye taco on the side, def didn't need to. The poke bowl was STACKED and super refreshing - I was pretty satisfied. We also had chips (super crisp) and salsa (like a chimichurri salsa), very good. The service was top notch, everyone here is super nice, even the patrons. It's like your local beach grub spot with beer and wine and good energy. Will def be the go to after hanging at the beach. read more

A block away from Sunset Dunes is your new favorite taco spot. The friendly green facade draws you in, then you're immediately greeted by their kind and knowledgeable staff behind the counter, and an ambience that perfectly fits the chill, beachy vibe of the Sunset with a combination of warm tones and a fun use of color and artwork. It's a space that is inviting and open to all with both indoor and outdoor seating. (And a clean bathroom!!) Must haves: the mellow (low ABV) margs, their insane selection of tacos made with the very best tortillas (hello ribeye tacos!!), and locally made paletas that are naturally sweetened with dates and are the best way to end your meal. Don't sleep on the banana cream flavor. On a cooler day, the fisherman's stew is phenomenal and will warm you right up, and obviously chips and guac are always the right call featuring their warm and perfectly salted chips. Kids are welcome and their kids' quesadilla served with fruit, avocado, and a sweet treat will make any kiddo (and parent eating the leftovers) very happy. Whether it's a grab and go situation you're looking for or a casual sit down experience, Ruby's is your place. It's quickly become a beloved neighborhood gem that rivals Cheers where everybody knows your name and as a Sunset resident, I am ecstatic they're here! read more

This place is an absolute gem! The owners are the sweetest family -- you can feel the care and warmth the moment you walk in. It's a perfect spot for kids, with an easy, relaxed vibe that makes everyone feel welcome, but still feels elevated enough for a grown-up night out. The food is fantastic -- my favorites are the ahi poke bowl (so fresh and flavorful!) and the carnitas tacos, which are perfectly seasoned and crisped just right. The house strawberry limeade is so refreshing, and if you're a beer lover, the "Lucky Buddha" Beer is such a fun surprise. The ambience is beautiful, and the aesthetic is top notch. Every detail, from the décor to the plating, feels intentional and thoughtful. You can tell this family truly loves what they do. We'll definitely be back again - it's just what the neighborhood needed! read more

Finally, after the vegan Beach'N's years long reign of terror, something worth the hype comes to the corner of 48th and Judah. The first reviewer's comments on ambiance, staff, vibes, etc are spot on so I'll refer anyone reading this to that review. The Fisherman's Stew is my new favorite dish, not just in the Sunset, but all of the city. Sitting outside on a chilly Sunset day/evening, armed with nothing but the stew to keep me warm, is now a favorite activity of mine. I will be praying for cold days as an excuse to go sit outside and eat that stew. This is the first (and probably only review I've ever written, but I felt compelled to leave one because of how much I enjoyed Ruby's. If the neighborhood knows what's good for itself, people will come support this place. Come check it out. read more

Ruby's is my new favorite neighborhood spot. The tacos are seriously incredible, I'm already planning to go back just to try every single one. The soup is delicious and perfect for a foggy Sunset day, and the chips come out hot, fresh, and perfectly salty. The melo marg is my new drink of choice, light and super refreshing. You really get bang for your buck her!! The portions are generous, nothing skimpy, and the ingredients taste super fresh and high quality. I left full and already excited to come back and work my way through the whole menu. I was greeted by the nicest woman with a great smile, which set the tone right away. Turns out Monique was the owner, and she introduced me to her husband Nick. They both made the experience even better and you can really feel the care they put into the place.

Delicious, inventive, fresh food!! My sister & I discovered this charming restaurant just a block from Ocean Beach. We were drawn to everything on the menu. Shared several items: the ahi tuna tartare: large chunks of super fresh tuna & avocado with just enough seasoning, surrounded by crispy tortilla chips to scoop up. Then on to the cauliflower taco and blackened shrimp taco. Both generously filled with assorted other ingredients including pickled onions, roasted corn etc. All extremely well seasoned. Yummy. I had the fresh house made strawberry lemonade, concocted right before my eyes! If I lived nearby I would be there weekly. This is destined to be a neighborhood favorite.

Ruby's is a new fast casual restaurant just steps away from Ocean Beach. Housed in a green building, the decor of the restaurant feels warm, cozy and bright. My husband and I stopped in on a chilly night and ordered the Fisherman's Stew, the fish taco, the cauliflower taco and the chips and guacamole. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly and we especially enjoyed the stew which has generous portions of seafood. I also loved the fish taco. The fish is local and sustainably sourced, which is also a plus. There are also items on the menu for vegans and vegetarians. Save room for dessert, because the paletas are amazing and made locally in small batches. We had the mango and coconut which was divine. The spot is perfect for families, a casual date night or gathering with friends after a day at the beach. I need to spend more time with the drink menu the next time I visit. Quick note, the restaurant only has counter service. The staff was welcoming and friendly and our food came quickly. The prices were very reasonable. We will be back! read more

Was stoked to try this place after seeing all the positive reviews. I thought it was just ok. It was busy for a week day evening and I got my food in about 25 minutes. I had the chicken Ceasar wrapped which lacked Ceasar dressing. They do give you a thing of dressing on the side, but it was a small portion cup and only about half full which was disappointing considering the wrap is $18. I picked up 3 tacos which again lacked heavily. To top it off, I had a strawberry limeade. It was moreso lime than anything else, and you're done in about 3 sips as it's 75% ice. Overall, I'm bummed about the food and drink. Don't think I'll be back but maybe their other options are good. read more

I was able to visit Ruby's opening week with my kids and it was AMAZING! Perfect spot to grab some easy yet delicious food (at a reasonable price!) before heading to the beach - which is exactly what we did. We ordered the market fish taco, the carnitas taco, the super hero plate and two orders of chips, salsa & guac (yes they were that good) and it was all mom and kid approved! I am a complete snob when it comes to chips and salsa and these are legit. Thick and crispy with the perfect amount of salt. I would go back to Ruby's just for these. I was only able to have one bite of the market fish taco before my kiddo stole it from me because he liked it so much! Wish I had ordered two! The superhero plate was also delicious - not to be ignored just because it's for kids. The tortilla was amazing and I found myself eating my kid's little bit of leftovers because it was so tasty. Kids also loved the Paletas, which are made locally in SF, and the Strawberry Limeade. Definitely heading back soon to try the low abv marg and of course more chips and salsa! Overall, great addition to the Outer Sunset and can't wait to go back to try more! read more

Then they brought the "rest," but they didn't bring out my brother's bread. We asked three different people a total of five times about it, and they kept telling us it was almost ready. Obviously, we started eating, but his bread didn't arrive until a full fifteen minutes after we had received the rest of our food. This wasn't some complicated order. It was bread. I assume it had to be cut and toasted. Why did it take so long? Why didn't they tell us why it was taking so long? The service is friendly but a bit clueless. The prices are on the high side for what you get. I miss the old Seal Rock Inn Restaurant.

Came on a night when they serve their smashed burgers in brioche bun. It's beefy and flavorful. Very satisfying. The fries are probably twice fried. Crunchy and still retained a semi tender center. It's voodoo magic good. Also tried their sour dough pappardelle. It has a pretty pronounced fresh asparagus note. It's a very satisfying dish. The place has a cool vibe with the reclaimed wood (or maybe just old?) walls and not too brightly lit dining room. Bathroom was clean. Wait staff was professional and helpful.

Dutch pancakes means that the first stop is Outerlands. We ordered Dutch pancakes online on the way. Easy breezy. Good thing too because there was still a line for a table even though they were closing in a half hour. The hostess was personable & sweet, despite the fact that it was packed, inside & out. We then headed to Ocean Beach to enjoy our breakfast in the sea air with an ocean view. Crispy on the outside, but custardy in the inside. Not too sweet which is a plus for me; you can always alter the sweetness by asking for extra syrup. I think next time I'll request extra powdered sugar. Don't let the wait & the line scare you away. There's nothing standing between you & a very good Dutch pancake except placing an online order. 4 stars.

I've dined here more than a handful of times and every visit was memorable. Sung and his team consistently delivered exceptional food, every dish was solid and clearly made with pride. You could taste the quality and it was consistent every single time. Beyond the food, what always stood out was the hospitality. Sung genuinely made an effort to connect with his guests, remembering faces, checking in at the table and ensuring everyone felt welcomed and valued. He made sure you had a good experience and you could tell he cared. One thing I've learned on my food journey is this: follow the chef. When you find someone who pours heart into their craft, you support them wherever they go next! Looking forward to whatever Sung does next. I already know it's for sure going to be just as good!

Even before this most recent visit, I'd enjoyed intimate dinners here for its creative, Korean-Thai-inspired menu that always packed an impressive punch of flavor but, dare I say, the brunch might be even better. The steak sandwich was absolutely phenomenal, with the steak seasoned and cooked to perfection and pairing beautifully with the charred onion aioli, plus a side of expertly crisped smashed potatoes that were so addicting. The steamed mussels were sumptuous and packed with umami, and I loved the two large bricks of toasted sourdough focaccia that were perfect for sopping up every last bit of the delicious dashi broth. But the pièce de résistance was the custard French toast, which I can only describe as the love child of bread pudding and tres leches cake as it was crispy on the outside but uber moist on the inside, custardy, and simply divine. Kothai will be deeply missed in the neighborhood, but I'm excited to see what's next for chef/owner Sung Park and will be first in line for whatever future project comes next.

The bacon around the asparagus was cooked and more raw in parts would have loved a ln overall cook. The mash was jsit okay. The sauce with the pork chop was good. The drinks were what we came for and loved. We waited a while to get a box and then longer to get the check. Over all a good week night dinner but not for groups larger imo, unless seated outside.

My date got the steak and that was cooked with very nicely, although I think it could have use a little more chimichurri. But I got the prime rib bolognese pasta (I think that's what it was called) and that tasted so good; not as heavy as I thought it was going to be. We shared their ahi tuna, which tasted so fresh, and the dessert we got was decent (I'm not totally big on super sweet desserts but this was fine). Overall, I highly recommend coming here, and I plan on coming back as well.

It was still very crowded for a Wednesday lunch, we came at 12:30 with a party of 6 but were still able to get immediate seating. Ordering is very easy, staff is attentive and they have their system down. Food came very quickly. Vegetables: These were SO good and set a good expectation for the dumplings. We ordered the cucumbers, brussel sprouts, green beans, and okra. All of them are delicious though the ones that really stood out were the okra and brussel sprouts. I don't normally order these because they are hard to cook correctly but they are perfect here. Scallion Noodles: Not too oily and nice al dente noodles, it looks plain but tastes amazing. Dumplings: We got the XLB, spicy chili wonton appetizer, shrimp and squash, numb and spicy XLB, and pan fried dumplings. All of these were good but the ones I will remember are the numb and spicy XLB and the pan fried dumplings. The pan fried dumplings are more bite sized and easier to eat than normal. They look cute and I felt less soup is wasted. If you like mildy spicy and numbing the XLB is unique and so good I had to help finish off the last one even though I was full.

My second favorite was the wood and silver ear mushrooms in house dressing, I've always had this dish with only the black wood ears, never seen it with both the black ones and silver ones. We also got some seasoned beef pockets, they were good but not to the level of the pan fried baos and the wood ears. My least favorite of the things we ordered today were the zha jiang noodles, they were eh‍. The service was fast and the employees were nice. They came around frequently to refill the hot tea for us too. My friend said the bathroom line was really long and took forever tho.

Ambiance is casual and a bit loud as can be expected from a brunch place but overall it is clean and a fun spot to meet friends for brunch.

Ruby's is an absolute gem and exactly what this neighborhood needs! Nick and Monique are the kindest owners -- so welcoming and hospitable. The poke bowl was incredible -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced so every bite was the perfect bite, with all the ingredients coming together from start to finish. The chips (hot and just the right amount of salt) with guacamole and salsa verde were insanely good with generous portions of each dip (a rare find!). The location near the beach is perfect, and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to relax and enjoy the vibe. The tacos are bursting with flavor - you can't go wrong with any choice!
