This place was different and unique for us. Love the Cali tacos and burritos. Didnt expect good Mexican food in Baltimore from us coming from California as to where you can get Mexican food all over. I must say, i was impressed with the taste, flavors, and quality of the people that cooked and made all of this. Not very expensive in price. Food is not so huge in portions, which may be good for some. Service was good, and the people are nice. This will be our go to spot.

I loooooovvvveee their tacos. They are the most perfect tacos to me.My partner used to bring them home and they'd be delicious and reheated well. I finally went and ordered them myself and they were still delicious. They are very consistent.We walked up and rang a doorbell and ordered the food. You can see the kitchen through the window. I ordered my food through a window and waited for about 10 minutes for our food to be ready. I ordered the chicken tacos which are about 2.5$ a taco. My friend ordered the carne tacos. The corn shells are perfect. They are soft but firm. They hold all the filling well without tearing. I used to prefer flour tortillas, Bit this place converted me. The tacos are little but bursting with filling. I like how the chicken is very finely chopped. It isn't shredded or ground but just finely chopped. The texture is really good to me. It comes with the various toppings. But what really makes this amazing is the hot sauce that comes with it. It is spicy and full of flavor. My friend said her carne tacos were amazing and came with gucamole and a bunch of other toppings.

I have been searching for a good Birria taco spot in Baltimore for a while now. Ruben has delivered, I was on the Uber Eats app last night and noticed they had a promotion of buy one get one free. I placed my order and picked it up. When I arrived I had to ring a bell and a gentleman gave me my order through the window. Each Birria order comes with 3 crunchy tacos filled with beef, Mexican cheese, onion, cilantro and of course a side of consome. These tacos were so good, just melted in my mouth. The beef was cook to perfection and the sauce was well seasoned. I even used the left overs for my ramen noodles. I highly suggest visiting Ruben's if you are searching for some food Birria in Baltimore.

Not gonna lie. This place is very mid. Reading the comments and watching videos it's clear that this place is the go to when you are drunk or late at night. Been a few times so far. Pretty basic. Flavor is there (most of the time) but the chicken is always dry smh. Got the steak a twice and the same thing. DRY! I'm thinking the meat is sitting out too long or it's being cooked too long. The veggie taco very good! Not sure if I would recommend this place if you were looking for really good tacos but I would recommend them if it's past 11:30 you're in Federal Hill hungry and on a budget it'll work for the night.

I had 2 chicken tacos and they were dry, bland, and very small. I tried all three of the "salsa" options they had and they were not good either. I wanted to try the carne asada tacos, but that was an upcharge on an already overpriced taco. I'm giving 2 stars because the woman who took my order was kind, but otherwise it's a very overpriced Mexican food spot that has watered down its flavor to cater to the demographic of the area.As a Mexican woman, I was hoping for a good Mexican food spot in my area, but this is not it.

Just ok. Pictured is my order of two chicken quesadillas and one founders burrito. At $14 each I expected the quesadilla to have a bit more flavor as the chicken needed more char and the cheese was flavorless. Would recommend eating with pico de gallo if possible. The salsa helped but it only provided spice and not as much freshness, more like jarred salsa instead of a freshly made morning of salsa. The burrito was much smaller than what I expected for $19. The guac and peppers did not seem to influence the flavor at all, if you are craving a burrito I would recommend a simpler, cheaper burrito. Chances are you'd be dousing it in salsa for flavor anyway. Overall a good place for Mexican food after a long night of drinking in Fell's, would recommend elsewhere for more Authentic Mexican/Mexicali food

This is a great little taco shack in the center of Fells Point near the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland. The tacos are reasonably priced, absolutely delicious, and service hot and fresh! The best part they have a variety of options so you can mix and match to your hearts desire. They also had a cute outdoor picnic area to sit and eat your tacos. We ordered about one of everything 2 chicken, steak and a veggie all for less than $10! It's extremely hard to find a good deal in the DMV area so this place is it! It's perfect for a snack spot, great to grab a quick lunch and awesome for late night feast a long night of "responsible" drinking. Thank me later!

Are you drunk? Stoned? Up late? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you definitely need a burrito from Ruben's. It's perfectly located adjacent to the rowdy fed hill bars and open later than any other place in the area. The fact that it's takeaway only operating out of a a single service just adds to the late night munchies vibe. I will say, everything is like 4 dollars too much and the tacos are meh.

I went to Ruben's to partake in Yelp's Celebrate the 410 deal. For $4.10, I got to try their Founder's Burrito. I must say this deal was a steal! The burrito was huge! It was loaded with chicken, steak, rice, beans, veggies, cheese, guacamole, and their signature sauces. Honestly, I could only ear half of it because it was so big and filling. The burrito is definitely shareable or can be split into two meals.Some other things to note...Ruben's is not a sit down or even a walk-in restaurant. You place your order at the window outside. This could absolutely suck if it's bad weather and you had to park blocks away while you wait for your food. They give you an estimated time that your food should be ready. I visited on a nice day so I just waited on the sidewalk until my order was ready. This is literally a to-go/carryout type of spot so don't expect to have anywhere to sit and eat here. If you absolutely can't wait to get home, you can check out the nearby Cross Street Market and utilize their seating areas. Nevertheless, the food is definitely tasty and worth it. I'd like to come back and try their birria tacos.

We rented Reuben's food truck for a birthday party at our home, and they did not disappoint! The team running the truck was so kind and attentive. The food was amazing - the Cali Burrito was a guest favorite and I will dream of the quesadillas for years to come. Multiple people went back for another round of food or churros as well.John - our main contact with the truck - was super professional and did a fantastic job, even showing up early! 10/10 would recommend for a food truck for any event.
