What our guests are saying

If you’re looking for good, authentic tasting Mexican food this is the place! My husband and I tried many places. They are good, don’t get me wrong, but this one is amazing! From the service, to the small details and how fresh you can taste it. This is our new family dinner spot for a bit now and never disappoints! Service is just as amazing!

This was the third time getting dinner at Rubens and my wife and I are hooked. First visit we had the shrimp tacos. OMG delicious. Then we tried their 7 Seas stew that we ordered over the phone for take out and it was amazing. This time we shared the Molcajete de Mariscos and a dozen oysters, and now Ruben's is our place to go for Mariscos. The place has a nice family run vibe. So if your pescatarian or just love seafood, you gotta try Reubens.

I have been coming to Ruben's for 3 years now and they have always been on point with food, service, drinks and the atmosphere. Doesn't matter what time you come, it's always a good experience. I would highly recommend this place. Esmeralda is one of the best waiters there, always ensuring that we are taken care of! Thank you so much
