" Ruben's is a hidden gem! I went for the first time last week, and I can't believe I've missed out on this place. Their dulche de leche raspado was divine, and the lady behind the counter was super sweet. The only issue was how long it took to get my order, but the food was so delicious, I forgot all about the wait. This will definitely be my go-to spot in El Centro. " (*Curated Review*)

" I feel a little torn about my experience at Ruben's. While the food generally tastes great, my last visit saw several items missing from the menu. It can be frustrating to come in excited and hear they are out of many flavors. The ambiance is cheerful, and the staff tried their best in a hectic timeframe, but I hope for better inventory management next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm in love with their aguas frescas! The flavors are vibrant, and they use real fruit! But I did encounter a problem with my order once; they forgot one of my items. But the manager was very attentive and rectified the mistake quickly. I appreciate good customer service as much as great food, so I have no complaints overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came to Ruben's twice in the last month, and both times the service was a little slower than I expected. The food, however, was amazing! Their tacos are worth the wait! I had their carnitas taco and it was just bursting with flavor. It's a small little place, but it definitely has a charm of its own. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried out Ruben's after hearing rave reviews, and I have to agree! The tacos were tasty and the rasados were awesome, especially the coconut flavor. It was a little busy, and the service was slightly slow, but the quality of food made it all worthwhile. Will likely return with the whole family 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*)
