" Each visit to El Ruby leaves me impressed. Their quesabirria tacos are simply the best I've ever had - filled with melty cheese and tender meat. The flavors transport me right back to Mexico. Additionally, their friendly staff always makes you feel like family. Be warned, though; if you're not a fan of spicy food, you might want to specify your spice level. Overall, it’s become a staple in my dining routine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to El Ruby hoping for a good meal, but I was a bit let down. While the ambiance of the restaurant was charming, my enchiladas lacked the depth of flavor I was expecting. They were decent, no doubt, but just not as remarkable as I had been led to believe. The service was friendly, but it took longer than expected to get my order. I might give it another shot, just to see if I caught them on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been frequenting El Ruby for years now, and every time I visit, I feel like I'm transported to my grandma's kitchen! Their tamales are incredible - just the right amount of spice and filled generously. Plus, the owners are incredibly personable and treat you like family. A must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting El Ruby was such a pleasant experience! I ordered their pollo relleno and it was incredible. The chicken was juicy and the chipotle sauce complemented it perfectly. My only critique would be the limited seating, as it fills up quickly. However, the friendly staff more than makes up for that. If you're in Glendale and want authentic Mexican cuisine, you can't miss this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a Colombian food paradise! Their empanadas are to die for and the fried plantains were heavenly. Never had such quality food at such an affordable price. The service was warm and attentive, making me feel valued! " (*Curated Review*)

" Feeling nostalgic about my grandma’s cooking, El Ruby takes me back there each visit. Whether it’s tacos, enchiladas, or a simple rice and beans, they hit the mark every time. The service can be slow at times, but the taste of the food makes it all worthwhile. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch at El Ruby and I was impressed by the quality of the food. The quesadilla I ordered was cheesy and flavorful; the salsa served on the side was fresh and zesty. The service, however, was a bit slow since it was busy, but still, the food made up for it. I look forward to returning and trying something new. " (*Curated Review*)
