" Absolutely love my visits to Ruins! The vibe is always electric, and the tacos are just phenomenal. I can't rave enough about the birria tacos. They're hearty, flavorful, and make it a must-try on the menu. Alongside the tasty mezcal cocktails, it creates the best dining experience. Staff are consistent with their service, so I can't help but come back every time I am in Deep Ellum! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, Ruins left a great impression on me! The tacos had a flavor depth that was impressive, especially the al-pastor. The mezcal selection was also extensive, it felt nice exploring new flavors. The ambiance is lively and reminded me of some vibrant places I’ve been to in Mexico. Great for a fun outing with friends or family! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great time at Ruins! The atmosphere is upbeat and there was great music playing while we dined. However, I was a bit let down by the tacos because they were lackluster. The drinks were indeed the stars for me as they were refreshing! Service was decent but seemed a little slow during the busy hours, which is understandable. I still recommend it for the lively setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place! We had a blast celebrating my sister's anniversary here. The service was outstanding, and our waiter was super friendly. The food was fresh and had good portions. The chilaquiles I tried were a bit on the mild side, which caught me off guard since I expected them to be spicier. But the drinks made up for it! Everything was so colorful and festive inside, it truly livened the mood for the whole evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my last visit, the service was swift and friendly, but the food didn’t live up to the hype. I tried their tacos and while they were okay, I expected more complexity in flavors. The drinks were excellent though, so that made up for the meal to some extent. The ambience is fun, but I might explore other options next time. " (*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*)
