I was in the area today so I figured I'd Give Ruby's a try since they were on my "want to go" list. They are located in a small shopping center with plenty on parking in front of Rudy's. They have a shaded seating area right in front and a large shaded seating area on the left side, outside as well. Walking in I noted that they have a long seating area on the left side, inside the restaurant. On the right side the have a salsa station, their order area and you can watch them make your food as well from there. Wifey got a torta and a taco, I special ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito that came with chorizo, eggs, cheese, potatoes, guacamole, and sour cream. I held the beans and rice and added chorizo. $14 We sat inside so we could watch the U.S. Soccer game against Australia. They had like 4 tVs playing the game. (I love the atmosphere of this place, the workers were all super nice too) Ok now for the food, and the salsa bar. They have like three different red sauces, and two different green sauces, roasted jalapeños, onions, carrots, and assortment of other things. I went with both the green salsa's, one tasted like guacamole the other one I couldn't quite tell, but they were both excellent. My breakfast burrito must've weighed 2 pounds! I honestly had to stop 3/4 of the way through and wait a few minutes to finish it off. "Normally it just slides right down, lol! The flavor of the chorizo with eggs and grilled potatoes with the green sauce on top is amazing! Bottom line... if they were in my neck of the woods I'd probably eat here once a month. 5 stars all day everyday. read more

While in Sunnyvale, we decided to stop at Rudy's for dinner. I was craving quesabirria tacos and they had some! A guy took our order and we sat down. They had a self serve salsa bar but no chips out. A different guy brought our order to our table. My tacos were packed with meat and it was messy!!!!!! The corn tortillas were super thick and tasted homemade. Yum! read more

This is a hole-in-the-wall Mexican with hearty authentic taqueria-style Mexican food. The quesadilla (steak, $15ish), Regular Burrito (Al Pastor, $14ish), and shrimp tostada ($7ish each) were super filling and the portions are humongous. I loved all the housemade salsas too. Order at the counter and they bring it out to you - the "service" is pretty non-existent, as well as the ambience. It's a hole in the wall, after all. read more

honestly one of my favorite places to get the street tacos, tamales, and burrito. when i lived down the street, this would be my spot to walk when i was craving something delicious and quick. the pastor and camaron were the highlights for me. asada was also pretty good but the others were surprising. the tamales were soft and juicy, not dry at all. they do sell out fast so come in the morning! read more

This is my second time coming. The first time I tried their super burrito and it was delicious! Now I tried their regular tacos with hand made tortillas, I got 3 to be exact and man, I'm stuffed! I also tried their mango agua fresca and it was also tasty, not too sweet, just refreshing enough to satisfy my thirst. This place is definitely a hidden gem, the cashier is always friendly and their staff is always so well coordinated read more

Food Quality: ***** Service: ***** Ambiance: **** Value: ***** Best taco spot I've experienced in the Bay Area (not for the lack of trying). Having frequented SoCal my standards for tacos and Mexican food are incredibly high, but these are the REAL DEAL and truly authentic. The flavors are phenomenal and they make fresh tortillas in addition to street style, they are much larger and delicious. The menu is broad, there is a lot salsa options, staff are very friendly and the services is really fast. It is great for take out too, it doesn't get soggy immediately. read more

They have a Taco Tuesday special - 4 street tacos for $10! I got 2 chicken & 2 chorizo. Plenty of meat. They have a nice little salsa bar too. My group of 10 people got there at 11:15 placed our orders. You order as you walk in, so there is no need to split bills. They take your name and bring the food out. There is patio seating and a few small tables inside. A friend showed up half hour later and the line was out the door! Its in a tiny strip mall with a small Mexican grocery store and a separate panaderia. I will definitely be back! read more

One of the best breakfast burritos I have had at an unbeatable value. It came out super hot and fresh and packed with everything you would want in a breakfast burrito. Their menu is huge and includes all of the Mexican favorites. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and there are plenty of tables in a clean environment blasting music. read more

Really good burritos here! Very tasty and juicy. The meat is done just right with a bit of crispy edges which makes the texture perfect. A good variety of sauces as well and the orange sauce is not too spicy. Recommended trying! read more

Skip iguanas come to Ruby's! Randomly found this gem on yelp the reviews definitely speak for it. Prices are average for the area, but the portions are much better than a lot of the other competition. Come for the salsa bar, enjoy an horchata and dabble in the slow cooked options. read more

We were in San Jose for business, and we wanted burritos. We randomly found this place. Both my husband and I had super burritos. I personally loved it, because it had every ingredient that I loved. Good prices! My husband laughed, because the burrito was the size as his wrist to elbow. We grabbed and go, but customer service was nice. Seemed clean. Spacious restaurant. We definitely are keeping this place in the books, for when we go visit SJ read more

This place was a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint! The portions are decently sized and the flavors are all just so delicious. Since being there I think there was a week where we went 3x that week. The store front itself gives you a mom and pop feel and the service has been pretty good. Main thing though is that the food is just too good! read more

We came by for some authentic mexican food after being in the sun all day and the food was so good! I was confused about the size of street tacos and regular tacos but I was surprised when I got my regular taco order to see how big they were! The flavors amazing and the homemade tortillas were soooo good! I think I prefer the street tacos because they're a bit compact and the tortillas did not break as easily (2 tortillas stacked together). They have plenty of seats inside and outside . The outside tables are good for groups. Overall, I would come back! read more

Questionable cleanliness and food safety standards. I came here on Cinco de Mayo and ended up waiting for 30+ minutes for one burrito. While waiting, I saw someone cutting raw chicken in the back. She put the chicken on the grill, rinsed her **gloved** hands for 3 seconds, then proceeded to roll burritos. I tried to spot the manager to bring up the issue. Found him sweeping the floor and wiping the counter with gloves on, then went right back to helping the crew with prepping food. That's when I noticed most (if not all) staff "washed" their hands with gloves on, for 5 seconds max, and rarely if ever changed gloves in between tasks. read more

My husband has been telling me about a Mexican restaurant - last weekend I finally got to try it. It did not disappoint. They give a little container of crispy tortillas chips, and there is a nice salsa bar with some marinated vegetables. The salsas are pretty spicy. We ate the chicken fajitas platter and two sopes( carnitas and carne asada). Everything was delish. Don't forget to stop by the bakery a few doors down. read more

No a/c. Food is mediocre. Ambiance is clean. Service is acceptable. Better Mexican food elsewhere.

Love this places tacos. They're big and the meat is good. Never too crowded either and service is good.

It's been years since I've been here. My wife loved this place. Thought that I'd try it again. It was good, but I wouldn't rate it as high as most have. Tortillas were rustic but I wouldn't use the word "fresh." It was packed to go then the server realized it was dine in. Quickly produced chips and salsa. Hot as F in here... read more

If you are looking to get tacos here, do not do it. I don't know if rubys known for something else but their tacos not it. I actually did a taco medley of all the taco places in Sunnyvale with my friends and we all think it's the worst. The taste is bland despite that the tacos look very juicy and flavorful. The meat is very fatty and not very good cuts. They did give us chips so that's a plus and the salsas not bad. But the tacos no good. The lady was also not very polite. Overall bad experience read more

Street Tacos for sure and if you're sharing with people, nachos is a definite must. I been here once out of the blue and I had an excellent time trying Ruby's Taqueria. Located in a little Mexican strip mall in Sunnyvale, you'll find excellent quality Mexican street food here as well as Mexican dishes as well with great quality. I ordered the street tacos with carne asada and tripas and they were amazing. Perfectly savory and not dry at all, and then paired it with some nachos to share to which it was all devoured by everyone. If I'm ever in Sunnyvale and craving some Mexican food, I'll definitely come back here for more and for sure recommend others to give this place a try. Once you're done eating, you can stop by the Mexican bakery as well for some Mexican pastries sold for cheap as a nice dessert. read more

Hole in the wall type of place, I got a burrito, pretty good in taste and size, prices are also fair. It's a no frills, grab a quick lunch kind of place. I would return again to try their other items read more

5/5 stars + everything we had was delicious + plate served with cucumber and radish on the side, quite refreshing + Torta was very good sized, couldn't even finish the whole thing + good pricing, with fast and friendly service + clean areas, with outdoor seating also available + jarritos sodas!!! - chips notably hand made, and thicker, with a strong crunch. Very good, but maybe skip if you prefer thin chips read more

Man, I hate to rate a local place so low but the food is just terrible. I wanted to give a new place a try instead of my usual Speedy's and I am so full of regret Lengua quesadilla - Bland and soggy as hell. The outer part of the tortillas did not have any grill or char marks. This place is only a 5 minute drive from my place yet when I opened the plate at home it was already cold and congealed. The quesadilla is filled with rubbery cheese, raw onions, and the guacamole is INSIDE. The meat was so bland and had no flavor. It was so cold/gross that when I tried to take a piece off of the plate, tortilla got stuck to it. Super disappointed. Lengua tacos - Same deal. Bland meat, limp soggy tortillas. Giant chunks of raw onion instead of chopped up all nice. Fish tacos - The worst of all the three. The cole slaw is somehow sweet? This was very off putting. But most of all the fish wasn't an entire slab of fried fish, it was in the shape of cubed tator tots. It honestly did not even taste like fish and I didn't eat more than 1 bite from the tacos because I was afraid for my stomach. They also didn't include receipt, napkins, utensils, or any kind of sauce/salsa whatsoever. Would definitely not recommend this place. read more

Ruby's Taqueria - Soggy, flavorless quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Used to love coming here before they closed. But unfortunately things do not seem the same and we will not be back :( Especially with so many other options. We were excited to see this place had reopened after being on a hiatus from a fire. It was 1pm on a Thursday and there was a little bit if a wait because there was pretty much one person handling the food and ordering. The worker was trying her best, but she seem tired. They have indoor seating with tables for 2 and and larger picnic tables outdoors. Some chairs appear to be older and probably need refurbishing or need to be replaced. There were tables with menus, but no pictures. We ordered: - Horchata: was good, but there was only one regular size for about $5. - Asada Taco: Meat was okay, but could use more flavor. - Shredded spicy Chicken Taco: a little watery and eventually make the tortilla fall apart. - Chorizo Taco: Flavor was off and tasted weird. I didn't finish this one. - Pastor Nacho Fries: Orange nacho cheese sauce with guacamole, sour cream, salsa with steak fries. Al pastor did not have much flavor. Tips: - There was an old fading sign that said they have handmade tortillas, but as we were leaving I saw a pallet of pre-made tortillas being delivered...so I don't know? - Complimentary small bag of chips - There is a sign that says ONE salsa per order. They are strict with this as I saw someone who had a green sauce trade the one he got with his order for a red sauce. - No free water-- they sell bottled water only. I'm sorry to say this place missed the mark for us. read more

I visited this spot for the first time despite passing it many many times on my rides back and forth to the Bay trail. I was happy when it opened since it was closed during the pandemic, I believe taquerias should be available in all neighborhoods. I ordered the asada super burrito to go. The cashier was friendly and brought the food out to me on my bike when it was ready. I thought the burrito was a little pricey, but you can tell by the picture it's quite large. I'll definitely get two meals out of it and probably could have gotten three if I didn't stuff myself. It was also very tasty. The beef had a good char flavor and the tortilla was packed with avocados, beans, rice and cheese. With so many great talk ideas around, it's hard to choose but I would certainly order here again on my way by. read more

Ruby's is great! I cannot recommend them highly enough for tacos in particular. The fillings are really flavorful and a great texture (tried the carne asada and pollo) and it's just a truly great street style taco. I have also tried their burritos and they are not only a great value but very good! I am not a huge rice in my burrito person (I am from SoCal, we are riceless burrito people there) but i still really enjoyed the burrito and it's near perfect travel food! I have also tried the red sauce enchiladas and this is where they lost me a bit. There was nothing wrong with it, but I would choose the tacos/burritos over that when I come back. The store is cute, clean, and efficient! It's very popular in the area and is next to Ruby's Panaderia, which is a TREAT! I am thankful for it in the neighborhood and am already dreaming of the next tacos from here. read more

We've ordered delivery from UberEats a few times from here since the pandemic. I probably would've given them a higher rating a couple months ago, but was less pleased with our most recent order. *Bag of Chips: sounds silly, but this is my favorite thing from them! The chips taste really fresh- they are nice and thick, and just all around bad for my goal of eating less carbs... The first couple times we ordered this they gave a generous amount for $1.49, but it was much skimpier this last time. I also like getting these to make my own nachos- they're perfect for melting cheese over *Nachos: so definitely do NOT order this. I was super grossed by their Nachos. They use some gooey cheese that could've been from canned Tostitos from what I could tell, and more gooey "guacamole" that also had the appearance and taste of being canned/old. Personally for my nachos, I want to see some fresh shredded melted cheese and chunks in my guacamole that resemble fresh avocado! Again- get the Bag 'o Chips instead and make your own! * Burrito de Camaron: they make a pretty big, tasty burrito filled with rice, beans, and choice of protein. This one was a bit spicy for me which I didn't expect. * Chicken Soup (Caldo de Pollo)- I really love how tender the chicken is in this soup, and the soup base is so hearty. But at $16.99, you gotta give me more than 2 pieces of chicken! It also comes with some vegetables, but this last time the potato was barely cut up (who wants the size of a whole potato in their soup?) and didn't taste right either. read more

Food was really good like really good you can taste the love. The woman taking orders was really nice and helpful when it came to figuring out the difference between types of tacos. Music was fire playing los Bukis was a good choice. Carnitas fresh and pico beautifully made. The salsa wheeehhww be careful really flavorful like you can't stop eating it but really hot too. And there's a self serve salsa bar wich is awesome!!! read more

Bomb. They make their al pastor a little crispy just like it should be. They have guac and the pickled carrots. Salsa was spicy

Went for dinner last wk. Unfortunately bland. How?! Why?! Definitely food was better there years ago.

Enjoyed some bomb vampiros carnitas tacos here yesterday (tacos came with meat, cheese, onions, guac and cilantro.) They were delicious and the corn tortillas were freshly made. My fiancé ordered the shrimp diablo burrito. Their red salsa is bomb!! I didn't see much inside seating, but they do have a patio area with a few tables. It was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy a good meal. Happy tummies when we left. Will definitely be returning. read more
