" My family and I had dinner at Don Ruben's and found it to be a pleasant experience. The ambiance was colorful and added to the cheerful vibe of the evening. I ordered the shrimp tacos which were quite tasty, though I wished for a tad more spice. My spouse had the carne asada and thoroughly enjoyed it. The server was attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Ruben's is a quaint restaurant with potential but it fell short during my visit. The ambiance is nice, however, the food didn’t impress me as much. I ordered the burrito and it lacked authenticity—more like fast-food Mexican than what I expected. On the plus side, service was prompt, and I appreciate that. However, for a place named 'Don Ruben's', I was hoping for more traditional flavors. I might visit again, but my expectations will be lower next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for a delightful dining experience, Don Ruben's is definitely worth a visit. I recently dined there with my family and was pleasantly surprised by both the environment and the service. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and our server went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. The food was varied, and the enchiladas I ordered were delectable - just the right amount of heat and flavor. The atmosphere was vibrant with fun decorations, making it an enjoyable place for family gatherings. I wholeheartedly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I stumbled upon Don Ruben's after a long day at Yosemite. Initially, we were drawn in by the colorful exterior and warm atmosphere. However, the experience was a mix of highs and lows. While the service was friendly and attentive, the food was somewhat bland compared to what we typically expect from Mexican cuisine. The portions were generous, but the flavors didn't quite hit the mark. We'll probably give it another try, hoping this was just an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely evening at Don Ruben's while visiting Yosemite. The food was delightful with a great variety on the menu. I found their tacos to be very fresh and enjoyable. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is due to a delay in service; our drinks took a while to arrive. Besides that, the staff were very friendly and attentive. I would recommend this spot for anyone in the area looking for great Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Don Ruben's did not live up to the hype I had heard. The food was average at best and lacked the bold flavors I was craving. The only thing I could rave about was the service—our server was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. I believe they could enhance their authenticity by using fresher ingredients and traditional recipes. Perhaps I just timed it wrong. I might give it another try in the future, hoping for a better outcome. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my recent visit to Don Ruben's, I found the atmosphere to be warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The service was impeccable from the moment we walked in. Our server greeted us right away and provided great recommendations. I opted for the shrimp tacos, and they did not disappoint! Each taco was filled with succulent shrimp and complemented by a zesty salsa. Prices were quite reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes. This restaurant is a must if you’re in the area. Can't wait to come back next month! " (*Curated Review*)
