I go to Ruben's just about every Tuesday. Can't beat steak tacos done the authentic way for 2 dollars a taco

Been ordering Ruben's for a few months now that I live pretty close to the location and they have really opened things up for me a little bit. I usually get taco and burrito cravings at all hours of the day/night and my first thought each time if I want something close is Ruben's. I love the way their meals come prepped, and the different options and tweaks you can make to your burritos and tacos. I also love the fact that the ingredients are pretty fresh and seem like something you'd get at a more mid-range restaurant as opposed to something that is fast food. I recently tried the Carnitas Burrito and fell in love. read more

I love this place. Walking distance, and fantastic food and staff. The orange hot sauce is SO delicious - they even sell it by the bottle!!! It's an in house recipe with a ton of kick...so freakin good. If you love spicy & savory food, you won't be disappointed for a stop in for lunch or take out. I go like 3-5 times a month read more

A bit overpriced for the portion sizes. Bland with not much flavor, the queso was "cheese water" and had an off texture. Oh and I haven't stopped going to the bathroom(both ends) since I ate it earlier today. read more

Was out in fed for the night for a friend's birthday, around midnight he said we should try Rubens and that it won't disappoint. We all split a burrito and I was hooked. 2am rolled around and I had to have another, this time we all got our own. Woke up on Saturday, got a ride back to my car outside the city and decided I had to have more and I drove back into the city (granted only 15 minutes) and bought 2 more chicken burritos for lunch and dinner. I ate 3 1/2 burritos in 24 hours. To say the least, it is the best chicken burrito I've ever had and I'll be heading there for lunch this week. read more

Delish!! Simple, inexpensive and good quality food. The staff is always super friendly and your food is ready within a few minutes. Love this place and would eat here everyday if I could. read more

Simply the best. Great food at a low price. I got their veggie burrito bowl and it was surprisingly loaded with fresh veggies. The burritos are so flavorful and I've gone to Ruben's many times with friends and they're all always happy with their food. read more

Maybe they had a bad day but not only was it way over-salted (more is not better people), but there was substantial unchewable gristle with the steak version. read more

The crowd around the place started to deter me but we walked right up to the window and ordered. Waited maybe 15 mins with 6 other orders in front of us. Had a 10min walk back to our hotel and the food was still hot and delicious. Beware of the red special sauce it is liquid FIYAH! Lol. read more

Without a question... the reason why I even consider the night life in Fed Hill, is cause we stop here afterwards. read more

Ruben's - For Dani Bday we had CK Quesadillas - Creperies Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Ruben's is a small, unassuming store in a crowded area so it's easy to miss. But don't sleep on their food! Plain, simple but very well prepared food. Ordered a steak burrito and a chicken quesadilla. Both meats were well seasoned. Cheese and pico de gallo on both were great. Rice and beans in the burrito and some great salsas on the side. Definitely hit the spot. Friendly guys running the place as well! read more

Just got a savory crepe from their stand at the UMMC Farmer's Market and it was pretty tasty. The ingredients were fresh (mushrooms, spinach, red peppers, cheese) and the batter for the crepe is great - light and just a little sweet. No complaints about the food, but I'm taking off a few stars for, for lack of a better word, poor community values. There was an event today outside the hospital where professionals from the different schools of UMB were taking elementary school kids out to the Farmer's Market to help them understand how to make smart choices about food. They had "play money" that would be reimbursed later. Long story short, one of the organizers of the event had just come to the stand to ask if they would accept the play money, and the workers said yes. Just a few minutes later, a kid comes by asking for $3 lemonade with the play money and was just flat-out rejected and dismissed. Like...really? Shame on you for being just a terrible human being! So yeah, you might have good crepes, but, as a Baltimorean, I was just appalled by what I saw. I'm sure these two workers might not reflect the entire company, but if I'm ever in Fed Hill, I will think twice before spending my real money here. read more

Just had two steak tacos. They were pretty good. The sauces were nice, too. I also ordered guacamole. It was good, but the tortilla chips that accompanied it weren't. They didn't seem homemade to me. I've had the tortilla chips at a joint in Upper Fells, so maybe I'm spoiled now. The chips were also oversalted. But I wouldn't mind having tacos again! Yum! read more

Dope little spot. Clean. Mad flavor. Bomb-ass burritos. The hot sauce is fire. This review is shorter than most, but this place is doper than most. Damn, Yelp. How much more do I need write??? read more

Food was okay, but not worth the wait -- over 39 mins! The service is terrible. They didnt call our number -- it was on the counter, someone else picked up our order and the chef didn't notice. Every customer was drunk --luckily we were just hungry, not drunk, so we caught the error. Still. They just shrugged, made food, and didnt even apologize. And the food was just okay. I will not come back. read more

Smallest Burrito I've ever bought and one of the most expensive too. $14 for this with no fries, soda or anything else. taste is not worth it either more like 6-7$. read more

Ruben's - Burrito - Creperies Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Listen here... I don't know what they do to their burritos, but it's gonna be my vibe for the remainder of the year. The meat is uber flavorful and the rest of the filling complements it like a sexy puzzle piece. They also panini press it which gives the tortilla a sensually firm bite. I hope you can tell how wet my.... mouth is right now. The reason for the missing star is that the sweet crepe I got (Strawberry Nutella, I think) was a little too light for me. It could use another slabbering of Nutella and a few more strawberries because there were a few nooks that were plain. By all means, I've fallen stupidly in love with their burritos and look forward to exploring their menu! read more

This hole in the wall is a gem. Ordered takeout for dinner last night and got a Chorizo Burrito. I've also had the breakfast crepe with eggs and chorizo. The portions are generous and the flavor is wonderful. What really steals the show is the sauce. Their hot sauce is fantastic, as is the salsa verde. Even better when you mix the two. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good Mexican food in the city. Hoping to try the tacos next time! read more

Perfect place for a quick bite to eat sober or drunk! I got the chicken taco and it was fabulous! The chicken was so moist and flavorful. It came with two sauces and sour cream but I only liked the sour cream. You definitely need at least two tacos to fill you up as they are on corn tortillas. They also had different meat options, veggie option, burritos, and crepes. Also the service was super friendly and quick. My taco was ready literally 2 minutes after I ordered it. read more

So for starters this is not my first time eating here however I don't know if I willing to revisit the staff was ok the music was really loud over the phone hard to place my order but he was polite and well mannered. My order came up to $48.47 my pork quesadilla was tough the pork was very dry little to no cheese , My daughters tacos fell apart as they picked them not sure if it is was because of the oil the Guacamole had no taste at all omg the cheese I had to add a tap more milk and heat it up it looked as if I had the bottom of the pan read more

I've traveled the entire US for amazing burritos and this to date may have been the most authentic non Americanized crap I've been getting everywhere else. Super fresh, spicy, flavorful and quick service. Totally a late night hotspot for late night food. They bump house music while they work behind the counter. Best burritos in Baltimore. Just an FYI there a little on the small side. Get the carnitas. read more

Ruben's is back after a several year long hiatus. I can't tell you what the food was like before, but I can certainly tell you that it's delicious now! I had a carnitas burrito, which was fantastic. The meat was tender and flavorful. The tortilla was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside where it had been grilled. The real star of the show is their spicy red salsa. It's one of the best salsas I've ever had. I'm hoping they'll tell me what's in it when I go back (or maybe sell me a bottle of it). Bottom line: great Mexican food. You're paying slightly more than Chipotle for a considerably higher quality product. 100% worth it. read more

food is the most delicious ever! the agua frescos amazing! and the service is so quick and nice. The environment is so great! I will definitely stop by with my friends from college during summer and every time I can! I LOVE ITTTTT read more

Where is my food? I placed my order online and 2 hours later, still waiting!! No bueno!!!

I really liked this place. They had great food, good prices and open late. I would come here for taco tuesdays and one or two more days each week for the chorizo tacos. Recently they changed the hours and are only open like half the time they were before and they got rid of the tuesday special. I understand inflation and prices are going up and the food is good enough to pay a little more. Except they no longer serve chorizo which was the best items that they have. The chorizo and sauces were the reason to come here. The steak and chicken both are very dry and lack flavor. I give them 3 stars because it was a 5 star place and now they turned it into a 0. Everything good about this place they took away except the sauces, but even those good sauces can't make the dry bland proteins taste good. Sad that the owners ruined this good business they once had. No more late night chorizo tacos, time to find a new spot read more

I go to the FED HILL location often b/c I live across the street and idk what happens early in the day but the girl who took my order put the wrong protein inside of my super simple burrito and all of a sudden the churro has some mystery filling inside. I called to inquire and she hung up b/c she seen my number call again. So I called once more and she proceeded to lie and tell me the churros has been like that for a minute. I disputed that claim as I order from there at least once a week and it's always been a standard plain churro. Therefore, I wasted my money on two items; not to mention my burrito was falling apart when I picked it up. Better customer service or much needed training for whoever worked the AM shift on 12/17 I suppose. read more

Go to place for my drunk tex mex needs. Love the people in there! It's always busy and the food is always fresh. I'll be honest I've never gone here when I'm sober but I'm sure it's delicious day or night. I like their quesadillas and their rice bowl isn't the best but it's pretty good. Their hot sauces are super hot so beware lol I didn't think they would be so spicy! read more

The worst quesadilla I've ever had it was grilled and it was really Small! The tacos were not good and it was flavorless not worth $2

10's across the board! Their food is delicious and great for a quick bite. And the staff is incredible, even though they were closed, they made sure I got into my ride home safely after a late night. read more

Really good burritos but inconsistent. Two times in a row my orders been wrong only to find out when I get back home.

I left an event at the Baltimore Convention Center and wanted a quick lunch before heading home, but I didn't just want the usual fast food. This popped up on a search, and I'm glad it did. It's a bit of a walk from the Inner Harbor - maybe 2/3 of a mile - but it was worth it. I ended up with a massive (one-pound, they claim) and very tasty burrito after just a short wait. The hot sauce - offered on the side - was a bit much for me, but is probably welcome who like their Mexican food with a kick to it. If you want a quick bite to eat in the area, this is a great place to get one. Biggest downside is that it's just a little hole-in-the-wall pickup place. If you're a party of more than about three, you'll have to order, then find somewhere else to consume your lunch. read more

thought I would give it a try through Uber Eats. As soon as I opened the paper bag and grabbed the tacos wrapped in aluminum foil, all of my 3 tacos fell out and onto the counter, floor, me, paperwork, What was left that was edible was terrible. tortillas and chicken had the consistency of rubber and the QUESO was soupy and off. I did not read more

Yummmmmm. Not much you can say about a simple menu, but boy it was so good for late night food. Chicken quesadilla was BOMB! Crispy on the outside and made to order. Would I go back? Hellz yeah, I want one now just typing this review!!!! read more

It's the bomb every time. I will always go back to this location. I wish it was closer to me

This place is CRAZY GOOD. I'm genuinely surprised there aren't like, 4,000 reviews. I had the worst craving for a burrito and luckily this place was exactly what I was looking for. The chips are perfectly cooked and delicious. The guacamole is amazing. I've only gotten the chicken burrito but I can't wait to try the other things they have! read more

Delicious tacos and open late. I've tried the steak and the chicken tacos. Very good, can tell the ingredients are fresh. Great sauces come on the side. Not expensive either read more

We ordered delivery at work through Uber eats. Food came extremely fast. I had steak tacos that were delicious. The red sauce was hot but I like hot. The verde sauce looked more like green water. I also ordered guacamole and chips. The guacamole was very fresh and good. The chips tasted like they came straight from a bag. Crunchy but not light and crispy which I expect at a Mexican restaurant. I also wanted some salsa but couldn't order it because it wasn't on menu to order although it was on several items on menu. So I wrote it in comments with chips and guacamole but none was sent. Sad. read more

Let me tell y'all- this is the best drunk food in fed hill. Fuck all the pizza places open late night. Anyway- the chicken quesadilla is my go to. The meat is so well seasoned, it's so cheesy, and the tortilla is soft and fluffy. But there's another thing I have to mention; the red sauce. That red sauce is so beautifully spicy and flavor full I am always that annoying girl saying, "Can I have extra sauce please?????" Because it's that fucking good. The bonus is that it helps prevent a hangover because I have to drink so much water because it's so spicy that I actually do myself some good. I love you Ruben's. Truly. read more

Ruben's food is always delicious, always come out quickly, and you always get service with a smile. It can get pretty crowded quickly, bc it's a very small shop. Even though it takes a very little time for food to be ready, I like to order on grubhub first, so I can walk in and walk out. The other day, I ordered and grubhub told me 15 mins - they had my order ready in 10. :) I'm also a condiment-aholic, and I love the salsa and spicy sauce, and appreciate that there is sour cream on the side for good measure too. So far, I've only gotten tacos from them, but my friend loves the quesadillas and the burritos. So I'll have to branch out more in the future. Yay for Rubens! read more

Sweet or savory? Sweet or savory? It's the eternal crepe dilemma. The only satisfying solution is to go with both or you'll be yearning for the other option halfway through your meal. In Ruben's case, the Mexican variety is his specialty but the nutella/fruit decision is never wrong. There are tons of options and ideas listed, and I'm going to try something new every time until I've exhausted the possibilities. I just wish they would add a little bit *more* of whatever goodies you've chosen to your crepe...next time I'll chime up as they are making it in front of me. The crepes by themselves are so thin and buttery that one by itself with a little cinnamon sugar makes a nice little snack. The prices are right (pretty much anything you want for under 10 bucks) not to mention the hours: due to recent demand, Ruben's is now open super late night on the weekends. By the way, Ruben himself is an absolute peach! read more
