" There was so much to love about my visit to Don Ruben's! From the complimentary chips served upon arrival to the flavorful meals that followed, everything hit the spot! I ordered the chili Colorado and was pleasantly surprised by the depth of flavor! My friends enjoyed their combo plates that were packed with different proteins. The atmosphere was lively, and it felt great to see everyone enjoying their meals as well. I left Don Ruben's feeling satisfied and happy. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great surprise was waiting for us at Don Ruben's when we stopped by for dinner! The menu had plenty of choices, making it hard to decide! I went for the carne asada and the first bite was a revelation. The steak was perfectly marinated and tender. The portions were generous, we actually had to take some home. The only issue was the wait time for seating since it was busy, but it was worth it! Just be prepared for a full house—you might want to make a reservation next time. Highly recommend this gem!

" We decided to dine at Don Ruben's based on great reviews, but our experience was mixed. The service was quick and attentive, yet the food left something to be desired in terms of authenticity. My carne asada was seasoned well but didn’t have the depth of flavor I expected. The atmosphere was nice but felt a bit generic for a Mexican restaurant. Overall, I had an alright meal but wouldn’t rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Ruben's reminded me of the vibrant Mexican dining I've had across the country. While some might argue about the authenticity of their cuisine, I found the flavors to be rich and satisfying. The mole sauce on my chicken was simply divine! The service was prompt and friendly, and the portions are something to rave about - definitely enough for sharing or leftovers! The decor set an excellent ambiance that added to the dining experience. All in all, a great place to enjoy a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this restaurant expecting a nice Mexican meal but left feeling disappointed. The service was slow and our server seemed overwhelmed, but I understand it gets busy. The food itself lacked the authentic flavors that I was hoping for, which really took away from the experience. I would not return here unless I heard that things changed significantly. There are better options in town. " (*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*)
