" I’ve read many great reviews about Don Ruben’s burritos, and they did not disappoint! The flavors were rich and the ingredients felt fresh compared to other places I've tried. I had the carne asada burrito and it was one of the best I’ve had lately. The atmosphere can be a bit crowded during peak hours, but the taste makes it worth the little wait. I will be making this my go-to for Mexican food in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic little gem! I first came with my partner who is a burrito aficionado and immediately fell in love with the flavorful options. The portions are generous and they'll keep your stomach happy for hours. I had the vegetarian burrito and added a side of salsa; it was simply delightful, really packed a punch of flavor. The outdoor setting is pretty casual which I liked, it made for a relaxing dining experience. Will be making this a frequent spot for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in search of good Mexican food that’s affordable and satisfying, look no further than Don Ruben. Their breakfast burritos are known for being generously portioned, and they hit the spot every time! The staff is also fast and friendly, adding to the warmth of the place. I wish they had indoor seating, but the outdoor vibe is nice, especially on sunny days. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first experience at Don Ruben, and I don’t think I’ll be back. While the burrito was decent, it didn’t live up to my expectations based on the hype. They need to work on their consistency with flavors. The staff was friendly, which is a plus, but it wasn’t enough to make up for the overall experience. I wish them luck! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a burrito that could fill me up without breaking the bank, and Don Ruben truly delivers! Each burrito comes loaded with ingredients and tastes very fresh. I often come here for lunch and enjoy how fast the service is. Outdoor seating is comfortable enough for a casual meal. I’ve tried their Mix Burrito and it was really good. I think I’ve found my new favorite lunch spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing a lot of buzz about Don Ruben, I finally got to try it out last weekend. The breakfast burrito was as good as everyone said; it was hearty and satisfying, packed with eggs, cheese, and a hint of spice. The place itself isn't fancy, but there’s a charm to the outdoor setup that adds to the experience. The crew working there was also efficient; they had our food out without a long wait. For those on a budget, it’s affordable too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Don Ruben for years and each visit reminds me of home. The breakfast burritos are huge and filled with flavor — they really know how to get it right. Plus the price is so reasonable! It's tough to leave without taking a couple of their famous burritos to go. Can't recommend this spot enough! If you're in the area, definitely check it out.
