Always the best and freshest Mexican dishes. Staff is always nice. Sometimes they get very busy but its worth the wait.

As a long time fan of the food at this place, I was disappointed today to be lied to by 2 employees about menu items and prices. Ordered super nachos after a long hiatus since my last visit. When they were under the old name. Prices went up significantly, an order of super nachos is now $13. A bit steep. When I asked why such an increase, the waiter told me "they are so much bigger than before". As they came out onto the counter in my order to go. They are not, same size as previous, I immediately asked another female employee behind the counter the same question. She hadn't heard my last answer from him. She told me they were using "higher quality meats now. Much, much better meats". It's not, it's still the same, that's not a bad thing: I have been a regular since before this place changed into the name it had *before* it was Ruben's. A patron since 2004. The food has been consistently good since then, and still is. But paying an extra $10 for 2 orders of to-go nachos, to be lied to by employees. No thanks.

My family and I went here yesterday to celebrate my birthday it was the first time visiting this restauarnt. let me just say we will definitely be back. Izzy was our server she was beyond great! Her and another server catered to our party (party of 15) in a timely matter they were patient and knowledgeable. food and drinks were delicious. we will be back. thank you Izzy for making our experience amazing!!!

Went here with friends on a referral that the food was really good. I ordered a combination plate with chile relleno and cheese enchilada. Came with a salad but the size was different than my friends who also ordered a combo. When we asked the waitress, she said it was supposed to be the smaller one? My plate was good but pretty pricey for the amount of food. Guacamole was labeled as "market price", $9.99. Ordered a chile colorado burrito for my husband at $15 which he said was too pricey for the taste. Friends ordered the tacos, taquitos, fajitas and shrimp enchiladas, which were decent. Service was great which was a plus! The waitresses catered to my friends 3 year old daughter, which was nice. Restaurant had a family friend environment. Worth a try, but not sure we'll go back. Jury is still out.

Do not order Carne asada here since the pandemic 2 years ago they have not been able to meet the demand for it and instead of taking it off the menu they instead give you other cuts of beef, lots and lots of beans and etc. All the while charging Carne asada prices. I will not return, I thought it may have improved since it's been 2 years but nope ! And I just had to write a review this time

We have been coming here for the last years , food is always great. Although the last 2 times it’s taken a long time to get our food and they were not that busy at all. Last week my wife and I waited for probably between 45-60 minutes to get our order. This wait for your order is really frustrating and unacceptable especially when not very busy and when I say not busy I mean there were 3 tables being served when we went in. Because it’s been 2 times in a row within the last 2 weeks we have had to wait a long time to get our order, it may be time to find a New Mexican restaurant to frequent.

We've ordered to go from this place a few times and the food has been pretty good. We decided to try to eat in one night. What a disaster. No one waited on us forever. When we did get service it was rude and unprofessional. They forgot drinks multiple times, assumed my order for me and surprisingly got it wrong. The food took forever (both times for me since they had to make it twice) and they made it way too spicy even though we had discussed that at length when ordering. A terrible experience. And this was with the manager! We MIGHT still order take out but you couldn't pay me to sit in there and eat again. If that's how their service always is I don't know how they stay in business.

Friendly spot! It’s a traditional Mexican restaurant, but it worked for my vegetarian diet: they made a veggie and cheese enchilada. We stopped as they were close to closing and mopping up while on a road trip from LA, but the staff was super friendly and accommodating and let us eat at the bar. Great service.

A few months ago I quit coming to Rubens because they raised their prices and hardly any chicken on the soft tacos. Before plenty of chicken and really good. I went around 5:30 to try it again and yes they failed again. This is my second review since the last time I ate here. I don’t know how it could be a four and a half star now. Taco Tuesday used to be packed when I used to eat here. Only two booths were being used at 5:30 not even the regular girls working either. Again hardly any chicken in my tacos more onion than anything. I knew Rubens would lose business after raising prices and less food. I threw my second taco in the trash. Great job owner of Rubens.

Ruben's is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the High Desert. They have many choices of types of meals on their menu, and I haven't had anything there yet that I didn't like. Their service is very attentive. When there recently, my wife ordered the fish tacos combo plate and said they were the best fish tacos she has ever had.

Been driving by for a few years decided to try it out and was not disappointed wet burrito was good along with the taquitos the asada and chicken had good flavor. Well not the best Mexican food I've ever had was better than most in the area. The waitresses were on top of it and very friendly even accommodating to children. Service was fast on a Saturday night food was out in a few minutes. We will be back and recommend to our friends and family

I'd give this little spot a 4 3 out of 5. The waitstaff are very friendly and the food is pretty good. When we first tried it we were not expecting to like it but were pleasantly surprised.

This is by far the best Mexican restaurant in the high desert, they actually topped the restaurants just down the hill. My only complaint is the fish. For a restaurant with food this good should never serve tilapia (a very bad for you fish) or swai (2nd worse fish for humans to consume). Those are bottom cheap fish for not so great restaurants. At least serve cod or snapper for the price. Other then that it is a wonderful restaurant.
