Ruben’s

You know those places you've walked by a million times but still know nothing about? this is one of those. - located in such a prime spot amongst all the DuPont foot traffic, I finally decided to cave to my curiosity- I'm a Mexican grab and go bowl girl when at dos toros or chipotle so went for the bowl option here. I got a chicken bowl, black beans, no rice, add as many salsas as I could, and mushrooms- weirdly, it says online all come with sour cream, but that just was not true. loved how much pico it had though!- the beans were actually so good....like when has someone been like wow these are GREAT beans. but they were. They had so much flavor I was shocked - the rest of the dish....not so much. plain slightly dry chicken. not enough salsa. just overall all same texture, I feel like I could make this with more flavor and my cooking isn't .... able to fund DuPont rent

Found myself in need of food out late in Dupont and Ruben's was the perfect place to go.First, the tacos, insane. Chicken was maybe a littttle dry but no problem because their sauces more than made up for it. They had four sauces, and I loved the green, red ,and orange sauces.They had some great music and such kind and fun staff.I'd also note to sign up for their rewards program -- it's so worth it, and we've already earned three free tacos from that night woohoo!

Really liked Ruben's Taco Tuesday deal!!! I came in looking for a different restaurant but found this one appealing as a tiny side restaurant in the popular DuPont Circle Area. The taco Tuesday deal is 1.99 per taco on Tuesdays! I thought it was a good deal for what it was. I really liked the chorizo taco out of all three (steak and chicken being the other ones). I would probably come back just for that taco in the future. On top of that, I really loved the hot sauce they had. It was really good and added a really nice kick to the taco.I wouldn't get the horchata again though. While it wasn't bad, it doubled the cost of my order haha !!

This place is epic, best tacos in DC! Staff is really friendly and they have great drink specials!

Was looking for something good in the DuPont area and stumbled across rueben's. It wasn't too busy so I was hesitant and checked on reviews which were good... so went in to try. We had the guacamole & chips which were both home made and very good! My mom had the grilled chicken tacos which were yummy and my husband had a big burrito... he loved it. I had the beef birria tacos which were loaded with so much meat I was able to only finish one. The sauce was so good and flavorful. We tried each of the salsas and rueben's hot sauce was my favorite... only two to three drops was all it took. Spicy but great.We found out from the owner that they have others in Baltimore which we will certainly as we are leaving DC and moving to MD. Glad we got a pre iré of very good and authentic Mexican food!! Service was attentive too. Everything was served on disposables which I quickly got ove. They are working on their liquor license but pretty soon cold beer to go with your tacos!! Totally recommend!!

This is a new Mexican place that opened near Dupont Circle I visited for lunch takeout today and the greeters were nice and the food was filling and satisfying!I got an order of 3 tacos- chorizo, chicken, and steak. I thought the chorizo was the best flavored and found the chicken and beef to be a bit dry and not as flavorful as the chorizo. The tortillas were nice and fresh and chewy, and the tacos were served with chopped onions and cilantro. They also gave me a side of all kinds of sauces! Packets of sour cream, salsa verde, salsa rojo, and another spicy sauce so you can create your tacos to your liking. Overall, friendly staff, quick service, a clean restaurant, and good food! I'll be back to check out other items on the menu!

The food was amazingAmbience is okay. The service was excellent and fast too. The location is quite hidden so don't be mad at that!

I ordered a side rice and they gave me a sauce cup worth of rice. I complained and they finally gave me a REAL side. Honestly it was so disappointing that I even had to say something. Black one is the sauce cup and white is the actual side. Pay attention they will try and play with you. We were drunk but not THAT drunk

Very good Mexican food. Loved the burrito it was tasty, filling and a good price.Shoutout to Tony who was gray taking my order

I had seen this place on Google and was drawn to it because of the food. But this place went above and beyond. The server/owner was great and made sure to explain everything on the menu to us and made sure we were well taken care of!
