" A lovely little food spot with a great selection of Mexican street foods. I adore their nachos with jalapeños, and the raspberry-flavored raspado was sweet and refreshing. However, the drive-thru's limited visibility made it difficult to order around other cars. Overall, a delightful experience, but they could enhance their ordering system. " (*Curated Review*)

" When I think of summer treats, Ruben's immediately comes to mind! Their strawberry raspado is the perfect blend of sweet and tart. It can get a little crowded, but the friendly service makes it feel welcoming. I always recommend this place to friends visiting El Centro for a taste of something refreshing! " (*Curated Review*)

" Grabbed some churros locos for a sweet treat—absolutely delectable! The line was long, but the end result was worth it. The staff helped to keep things moving along, which I appreciated. It's such a casual little place, perfect for a laid-back afternoon snack. Can't wait to bring my friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always take my friends to Ruben's after a sunny day in the park! The assortment of raspados is impressive, and they also have delicious snacks. Their churros are remarkably fresh! It's a great spot for families to enjoy a cool treat after a hot day. The environment is always friendly, and the wait isn't too long because they have a very efficient staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Ruben's Raspados for the first time, and it was a delightful experience! The mango raspado I ordered was refreshing and packed with flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive. I loved the variety on the menu, which made it hard to choose. I can't wait to go back and try some of the tacos next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Ruben's Raspados enough! The papas asada were piping hot and tasted incredible. I do not usually comment on service but they are incredibly helpful and friendly here. The only downside was the limited space, it gets crowded quickly, but that’s a sign of their popularity! Overall, an awesome experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Ruben's Raspados is simply amazing! I love their variety of raspados and the fact that they are so generous with the portions. The staff are super helpful when I can't decide, but I've never been unhappy with anything I've ordered. It's such a cozy little spot, perfect for a family outing or just to grab a treat on a hot day. " (*Curated Review*)
