I stopped by Ruben's recently for the first time in a long time. I was starving and in the area and placed an order for pickup online. It was ready within 10 minutes. I got the chicken bowl which comes with rice, beans, cheese, and pico de gallo. The rice was a Spanish-style rice which had a nice flavor. The chicken was just grilled chicken and nothing special but everything blended well together. It was a generous serving size too and easily could be 2-3 servings depending on how hungry you are. I also got a side of chips with queso and the queso was really good with a nice kick to it. This is a good option if you're in the area and want something quick, easy, and delicious. read more

My husband was in San Diego last week and came home with tales of all of the great Mexican food he had. I was stewing in jealousy, until I happened to stumble upon a walk-up window in Baltimore serving up authentic California style Mexican food. As the youths say, this place is bussin. My to go bag was as heavy as a small toddler and was filled with freshly made burritos and birria tacos. My California burrito which was stuffed with french fries was a real stand out ... I nearly passed out from all the food but I kept eating because each bite was better than the last. Service was friendly and quick and they give you a ton of food for your money. Truly a gem! read more

I was scrolling the reviews for Ruben's and I def remember when this place would have gotten 5 stars from me. It was the perfect burrito especially late at night coming back from bars but they have closed a couple of times (due to covid and also I think for management changes) and since they have come back it just isnt the same. Everything there is just fine but the food does not hit like it used ( Part of it is how small they cut up their proteins. Everything is a crumble and its hard to discern what youre eating) That said Ruben's is still OK but Im no longer clamoring for a quesadilla at the end of the night read more

Ruben's is such a hidden gem in Baltimore. I've had their food from their food truck and the Fell's location. The burrito always comes STUFFED to the brim and their sauces are DIVINE. I love how fresh their food is and how quickly the service is for the food to be made ready to go. Perfect to grab at the fells point square area and sit outside and eat! Definitely can't miss this place if you're in the area! read more

Absolute staple of Baltimore. Be careful with that hot sauce-- it's delicious but it'll get ya! Chicken quesadilla always hits.

Ordered online and almost missed this little "taco window" because I was walking too fast! It really is easy to miss. Just ring the doorbell and they'll bring your food right over. I got the regular burrito with signature hot sauce and it was one of the best burritos I've had in a while. Just a classic burrito. I do feel like if you're a huge eater then it might've been too small but for me it was the perfect size. I got a couple for a free taco next time I go. Really glad I ordered from Ruben's!! read more

Burrito was really small and didn't have a lot of flavor until I added the signature sauce which was really spicy but good once you mixed it with the liquidy sour cream packet. Luckily I had some homemade Chipotle vinaigrette that made it edible. The chicken was dry and there was more rice in it than anything. read more

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. read more

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. read more

It was so good I don't have a picture! Literally ate it so fast!!! I had the "gas station burrito" with the salsa Verde and wow.. I originally came for the hot sauce but this was a fantastic meal! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Ok! It seems like whatever you order it all tastes the same. Good if you're drunk, ok if you're sober.

Simply put. They make the best breakfast burrito and quesadilla I've ever had. No nonsense online ordering system. There's a carry out window. You ring the bell, get your food and go about your business. The food is consistently great. I love the chorizo. It's real chunks and not tiny minced / ground pieces of meat. The hashbrowns are good. The peppers and onions are nicely cooked. Simple but excellent read more

Got this veggie rice bowl for takeout! It had lots of vegetables and I really enjoyed how fresh it tasted. It had pico on top along with mushrooms, spinach, and beans. It was heavy on the rice. Overall, highly recommend getting takeout from here! They have a lot of other food I would be interested in trying, including tacos and quesadillas! They have $2 tacos on tuesdays at both locations! Their sauces are especially delicious. I particularly recommend the signature sauce to put on top because it's spicy and has a kick! The green sauce is also a great addition on top! read more

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. read more

Taco Tuesday! I tried the chicken & veggie taco initially and loved it so much, I went back and got more within the same hour LOL. Staff is really friendly. Tacos are tasty and priced well. I also had some hibiscus tea on the house which was yummy. Definitely would recommend and go back. read more

YES YES YES! Yes, I give them 5 stars. Yes, I would return. Yes, this place is awesome. I visited Ruben's today for the first time for the Yelp Event and I am so glad I did. I had never been before and it is just under 30 minutes from my house. There was plenty of street parking which you do have to pay for but it only cost me $1.00 for 40 min. There was a one dollar minimum at the pay station if you use a credit card. One dollar is better than a parking ticket even though I paid for more time than I needed. Upon walking up to Ruben's I learned that they don't have an inside at all for customers. It didn't even look like they did before Covid. They just have a kitchen. A friendly gentleman opens the door/window to greet you and take your order and payment. They do have a door bell to utilize if they don't see you but I did not need to use it. I advised that I was there for the Yelp Event and they were super ready and accommodating. I have been to some events where businesses act like you are a bother. That was not the case. I ordered the Cali burrito and the mango agua fresca. In addition, I ordered two tacos - veggie and carnitas. It took less than 10 minutes for my order to be ready at which time I just stood to the side on the sidewalk. I am honestly not the biggest fan of Baltimore but Ruben's has a great location and is surrounded by other nice businesses. Upon arriving home I was happy to see how well the food was packaged. It would survive any ride. The cali burrito was packed with plenty of meat and veggies. The two tacos were put together well and delicious! I loved how their sauces were packaged. Very convenient. The mango agua fresca was tasty and came with a completely sealed lid which was nice for transporting. All of the food was delicious. I have already recommended it to my friends who still work in Baltimore. I will definitely be back when in the area because they have several more menu items I'd love to try. The goodie bag with the hot sauce they provided for the Yelp event was super cute and had some unique Mexican candies in it. I thought it was nice they went above on beyond and even had a hand written thank you card thanking me for visiting their small business. Please note that you need cash to tip. I did not have cash on me which is one of the reasons I ordered additional items. Upon paying with my card I was simply given the receipt with no option to tip. I owe them double next time. I was slightly embarrassed because they were great! read more

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! read more

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. read more

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!! I ordered the founder burrito and it was so disgusting, it had chunky oily stuff in it I physically gagged when I was eating it and it genuinely made me feel sick, I also ordered a side of queso and that was also NASTY!! Please do not go here and waste ur money worst decision I could've made yesterday read more

Ruben's is a must for me after a night out! 9/10: steak tacos - very generous with the steak, which is decently tender! 8/10: chicken tacos 10/10: chips & guac - the chips are always super fresh- like they drop them in the fryer when you place your order Had to stop by for taco Tuesday today. and I was pleased as always! The service was much quicker than it normally is after a night out (which makes sense because I went around 5pm) The fell's point location is perfect to hang out around on a warm day, and the area is very family friendly! read more

Located in Federal Hill and looks like a pick up only spot. Online ordering was seamless and our food was ready as promised. They call themselves "Home of the 1 pound Burrito" but we were here for the Cali Burrito. Wasn't sure about a Burrito stuffed with fries but had to try. It works! Sort of like a Steak Frites wrapped in a tortilla with guacamole. Steak was seasoned and tasty and they're not kidding about the "extra meat." Got some Quesadillas also. Chorizo was just right spicy and chicken was seasoned well and both were full of their Mexican cheese. The hot sauce took these over the top! Again, pickup only spot & open late for the post Bars crowd. Service was friendly. The legit Tex Mex finds in Bmore continue! read more

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 read more

We have been getting Ruben's california burrito for over a year, and it never disappoints. I've never tried any of their other stuff but I'm sure its great. The california burrito is the juiciest, most flavourful burrito I've had in a while. It can easily be shared by two people, and the side spicy sauces go very well with it. We will definitely keep coming back. If you're ever in Fed Hill and looking for a quick bite - I would recommend this place over most of the bar food in the area. read more

Great food from a great family! I came here for the Yelp 410 and got the Founders burrito for $4.10. The original price was $25, so this was an amazing deal! Indoor dining is not open at the moment but I was greeted by future CEO Crystal (read there website when you have the chance). This place is known for their burritos and for a good reason. I'm already by default a messy eater. But this burrito was so well put together that I didn't drop once. It was also MASSIVE. I couldn't even finish it. I also got the Jamaica tea as well as extra hot sauce, they have 3 different signature sauces, all amazing. My favorite was definitely the green sauce, so don't forgot to get it with your meal! The Jamaica came in a huge cup as well. The chicken and steak were cooked perfectly. The whole burrito had a perfect balance of all the fillings. It also has a kick to it from the signature sauce. Overall, great food and great experience. I love supporting family businesses, especially ones with such a wholesome story as this one. I would definitely recommend this place! Thank you to everyone involved in the Yelp Bmore 410 deal! This was a wonderful opportunity to try some lovely food for an outstanding price! read more

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. read more

Good food, quick and easy service. They do take out right. Like their pickup set up, never a line to get my order.

Amazing chicken breakfast burrito and steak tacos. Signature sauce is a perfect spicy sauce. FAST. Delish.

The signature sauce is absolute great place to grab a burrito post dancing with the homies

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. read more

This was a nice little Mexican restaurant that's near the Inner Harbor. We walked here from our hotel. They don't have any seating in the restaurant so be aware of that. I had the steak tacos and a chicken burrito. The steak was pretty tender and the onions on the tacos were very fresh. I liked the chicken burrito as well and I had a jamica as my drink. This meal was pretty good for the first place I visited in Baltimore. read more

What a great deal! Came for the yelp 410 deal and for under $5, you get a huge burrito. I could only eat half so I'll finish the other half tomorrow! The flavors were spot on, savory and with a great balance of all the ingredients. Their sauces were all amazing as well. The red one is definitely spicy, so if you're not good with that be aware! I love spicy food so I really enjoyed it on the burrito. So glad to have checked this place out! read more

Stopped by Ruben's after the Orioles game. They stay open super late. I ordered the veggie quesadilla because one of the customers said the quesadilla is the best thing. The veggie quesadilla had onions, spinach, mushrooms, and cheese. The portion size was great. The flavor was good, as well. I will say, though, I wish there were peppers in the quesadilla, but that is a personal preference. read more

I'm not usually one to promote chains over small businesses, but I'd far choose Chipotle over Ruben's, sorry to say. The place is a to-go store front: walk-up, ring bell, place order, take to-go. We went for the $4.10 Yelp promo event, ordering two founder's burritos. At first glance, the burritos seemed to be a decent size packed with ingredients- though upon eating we realized the burrito was pretty much all rice- the menu stated inside should have been a mix of: rice, beans, salsa, Mexican cheese, chicken & steak- though in all there was very minimal meat inside the burrito, barely any cheese or beans- and the tortilla was very thick- so even at a reduced $4.10 I was still disappointed by the quality (let alone if I paid full menu price)- at least at Chipotle you see each ingredient evenly being added to the burrito. Would not return-there are other, better, burrito eateries with higher quality ingredients. The only part I really enjoyed was the red sauce included read more

This is not my first time at Ruben's, but it is by far the best. The founders burrito was delicious and massive!! I don't know how they came up with it, but this burritos has everything I want. It also has a bit of a kick to it, which is a welcome change compared to a lot of the bland offerings out there. read more

I feel like the quality of food here has gone down. I had a bowl and although they were very busy, my food was lukewarm. The hot sauce is still good. The service was fast, but the food was blah this weekend. Skimpy portion of meat and a whole lot of cheese. read more

Great place to grab a quick taco. It is what they are known for. Walk up and get window service. We both had chicken quesadillas, not tacos. They were good, not great. We will go back for the tacos. read more

Kinda bummed that my first experience at Ruben's storefront was not great, as I've been ordering from their stand at the farmer's market for years. Stopped in the other night to redeem my free chicken quesadilla through their rewards program and also ordered some fries. Although their website clearly states that the reward is a chicken quesadilla, they refused to redeem it for such, and insisted that it was a cheese quesadilla...pretty annoying since I showed them on their own website what it says, and it still hasn't been fixed. The cheese quesadilla was fine-burnt on one side but you could kinda peel it off, but it had very little flavor-a cheese quesadilla is honestly one of my favorite go tos at a Mexican place and hard to not be delicious, so I'm not sure if the cheese they used was super bland or what-it did look like cheddar rather than chihuahua or oaxaca like most places use for melting purposes. The fries looked like real potatoes-+5 for that, but they were undercooked and limp and the serving was TINY-like 10-15 fries for $3.49. Not cool. I ended up crisping them up in my air fryer once I got home and they were great, but you don't order out too recook your own food, and I expect to get more than a skimpy handful of fries if they cost almost $4. Ruben's, you disappointed me this weekend! I will be back because I know what you're made of, so step it up next time! Definitely recommend checking them out at the market, and we'll see if the store experience improves with time. read more
