    Veggie Burrito
    Brenda S.

    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!

    Chicken Burrito

    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.

    chicken Taco

    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.

    Birria tacos

    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 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.

    Veggie Rice Bowl
    Jasmine M.

    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!

    Chicken & veggie taco
    Bell A.

    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.

    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

    Came here with a small group. Loved that it was quiet!! We could actually hear each other talk…read more Had a variety of dishes - all were good. During the entire time we were there, only one other customer came in. Not quite sure why this area was so dead during lunchtime. But this was true of the surrounding restaurants also.

    I really wanted to like this place, but my siblings and I unfortunately had our worst experience at…read morea restaurant so far. The ugly part: - My fist sister ordered a chicken tajine (North African dish), as she wanted to add something new/different to our mix of dishes. Both sisters felt the chicken and the rice weren't fresh and there was a weird aftertaste, but wanted to believe it was just a spice and the first ate it anyway. The next day she spent 3 hours in the ER crying her life out before getting admitted, and just got out after 2 nights / 3 days in the hospital to continue her recovery at home. The doctors said it was gastroenteritis (food poisoning). - My other sister had a couple of bites of that tajine and later also had an issue with her coffee. She wanted some milk with it and when she added it to the coffee there were some weird bubbles. She checked that milk separately and it was very clearly bad. She got another coffee but that was the 2nd alert of the night. She also had to go to the ER the next day, but thankfully she was out a few hours later and is feeling good 3 days later. - We don't live together and only met at the restaurant for this dinner, so the common denominator was easy to find. I didn't touch any of the dishes above and I've been totally fine. My main issue was that I ordered a "chèvre chaud" salad and they were super cheap with it, filling the plate with lettuce and placing 2 pieces of cheese on it. For $18 that's a stretch. The sides of rice for our various dishes were also pretty small but it wasn't an issue to be honest. Only mentioning this given what happened after our dinner. - My brother was visiting from Paris and had a steak frites to see how it compares to what he's used to at home. The steak was okay but the fries were, sorry to say, below Mac Donald's. Super thin and soggy, as if they had been unfrozen and then fried in warm oil. Unless they weren't fresh... - Our server was very nice but the addition of a 20% gratuity on the bill was not. We didn't complain and paid but given the experience with the food, it felt excessive and preposterous The good part / redeeming qualities - As already mentioned, the server was nice and overall did a nice job. The problem came from the kitchen, with dishes that didn't taste good and got some of us seriously ill. - We had some good wine and beers + a quick chat with the cook (owner?) at the end of the night, he was friendly too. I believe he's Algerian, hence the tajine dish on the menu. - We had other dishes: my duck confit was fine (except for the soggy fries too), the salmon was fine as well (although the side was tiny). - The venue is not fancy by any stretch but nonetheless there's something charming about it. All considered, I'd be curious to know the health inspection score of this place as I suspect there's a lot of shady stuff going on in that kitchen. Next time I'm in town and crave French food, I'll look for another restaurant and would neither return nor recommend this one to my friends.
