" I brought my friends here for the first time, and they loved it! The drinks were unique and the tacos were rich in flavor too. It's a perfect spot for a fun night out with a lively atmosphere. Plus, enjoying live music while dining enhances the experience. I will certainly be back; can't wait to try other items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Ruins was mixed but overall enjoyable. The atmosphere is undeniably trendy and fun, which I loved. I ordered the chicken tinga tacos and, while they were tasty, I expected a bit more spice. My partner tried their mezcal margarita, and he loved it! Service was attentive, although we did wait a bit longer than expected for our food to arrive. I would give it another chance based on the overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently hosted a birthday dinner at Ruins, and it was a hit! The staff helped me plan the menu, and everything was executed perfectly. The tacos were a crowd favorite; we especially loved the variety of fillings. It was great to have a lively atmosphere with live music that everyone could enjoy. My only complaint was that they couldn't accommodate our larger party at the patio due to space, which would have made it even better. Otherwise, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are in the mood for an exciting night out, Ruins won't disappoint! The ambiance is lively, and each corner is beautifully decorated with fun art. Not to mention the drinks! I tried several cocktails, all with creative dreation. I settled on tacos for food, and although I wanted something spicy, they're still delicious. Just don't expect it to be quiet—you come for the atmosphere and upbeat vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an interesting time at Ruins. The drinks were incredible; I will say if you're a fan of mezcal, they have a wide selection to choose from! Regarding the food, I'm more on the fence. I tried the corn elotes, and while nice, I had better elsewhere. The atmosphere is electric if you're in for a lively time. I might go back just for the ambiance and drinks. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ruins has its moments! The vibe is great, and the cocktails are fantastic; it almost feels like a must-stop in Deep Ellum. However, the food I had on my visit wasn't that memorable. I had the shrimp nachos, and they were just okay. The service was nice, and attentive, so I did appreciate that element. It's worth checking out for the drinks if nothing else. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Ruins was an adventure! While I enjoyed the quirky decor, I was truly taken aback by the variety of mezcal available. The food? It didn’t enchant me as much though; I ordered the tacos, but they were just average. The music and busy vibe kept the energy alive, but I felt like it could’ve been more cohesive between the food and atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)
