Ruthie's Mexican Restaurant

Great tacos even still after 15 + years! Love their tortillas and green salsa! We got bacon egg and cheese and bean and cheese and loved them.

Let's start with the positive. They have a 100 score posted for food safety sanitation! They had the blue plate award next to it! Good job!I ordered the Carne Guisada breakfast taco and a bean and cheese. The food was OK. The tortillas could've been better. I'm not sure if they make them in house however they were lacking a little flavor. The coffee was OK. I didn't finish it. I like strong coffee so I guess it's just a matter of preference. It was a Monday morning. It was nice and quiet.... people started arriving a little bit after. I'm very particular about restrooms and usually determines if I'll go back. Their restrooms are located in a strange set up. Ladies room is right by the entrance in the dining area almost. And the men's room is located on the other side, which seems to be really close to the kitchen. The two young ladies that were waiting tables that they were very friendly. I had heard great things about their breakfast tacos so I decided to give them a try.

While the food is delicious, the service is terrible. Been going for some time now. One gentlemen in specific is very welcoming and attentive. Even the cashier lady. Our waitress the last few times has been terrible. I asked to be seated with the gentlemen today but he said they were in a rotation and apparently it wasn't his time to take another table. To our luck we got served by the same lady. She seems grouch, she's inattentive, and doesn't seem to want to be there. Now let's talk about pricing, they have increased their prices dramatically. They charge $0.89 to add cheese to a taco; and $1.50 for a slice of bacon on a taco. A carne guisada taco is $3.89 + $0.89 from the cheese. So I'm paying close to $5 for a taco?? No thank you! Not to mention when we received the receipt, none of the items are labeled ..it's just prices so you never know if you're getting over charged or not. Probably won't be back. Sorry Ruthie's but you've lost a loyal customer

While I've never eaten inside the restaurant, I've ordered takeout from here several times now and they've never disappointed. Nobody in my household has had a complaint about this place. From breakfast tacos like papa ranchera and chorizo con papa (I despise a greasy chorizo taco), to their enchiladas, and Chile relleno. Their Chile relleno is one of the best I've ever had and I've ordered it multiple times because it's so good. They have big, fresh homemade tortillas. Their salsa is good. Their staff is always friendly and prompt. They even have a take out window which I enjoy instead of waiting inside with the seated patrons. Ruthie's is a winner.

Great Service Great Food fluffy pancakes perfectly cooked eggs & the bacon just perfectly crispy! They are now open until 9pm to serve dinner. Defly worth your time.

My coworker brought me here for lunch and let me say that they had the best flour tortillas ever! The customer service was A+. The ladies were very welcoming and our waitress, Rachel, was a gem! The lunch specials are amazing and my chicken enchiladas were filled up. I've passed this place so many times but never paid attention. Don't let the outside decor fool you. Ruthie's is gem!

The service was great. This place looked very clean. Had the lunch special. The rice was super dry, everything else was ok.

Ordered 2 tacos of carne asada with cheese and price was 12.06 this is rid for 2 tacos!!!! the tacos was no even loaded I will not rate this at all I am not happy or recommend you all to get tacos from here. Over priced and rip off!!!!!

The food was *okay* it's the same quality you would get at Las Palapas or Taco Cabana at best. The quality in terms of food AND service has gone down hill over the past year or so. I walked in and was not greeted with a hello but with an eye roll from some young girl behind the register. I got my food to go so I can't speak on how the restaurant was, although I don't appreciate getting attitude when I ordered to go and saw an elderly woman go in to SIT AND EAT when the restaurant only had 10 minutes left of it being open.I do NOT recommend this local Mexican restaurant not only because of the poor service and cheap grade food, but I found a HAIR IN MY TACO. It was a medium length blonde/white hair. I have black hair and I'm absolutely DISGUSTED.

Best taco shop in San Antonio but they didn't let me eat my sandwich in there :/I love the color scheme and vibe of the establishment but when I brung my sandwich in there they said to take it out side because it smelled like spoiled tuna...(Which it was ) I left but my feelings were surely hurt.
