    Great food, good prices super friendly staff we met the owner or manager during our visit i think he's a veteran he was a cool dude. We were a group of 4 and we all shared our meals and let me tell you everything tasted amazing to us. We decided to try this place after driving by so many times it was definitely a great choice that afternoon we went.

    We have been coming to Ruthie's Tex Mex for 20 years and the food, the ambiance, friendly and attentive service never disappoints in this neighborhood staple! The best fajitas in Sugar Land. You should come on Thursday night for Mexican Bingo and after hours Karaoke! Such a blast

    The atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was exceptional. However, there's room for improvement in the food department as it didn't taste good at all.

    Receipt

    I visit this restaurant regularly. Today (4/17/2024) I discovered the sales tax rate charged on my receipt was 10.416%. Fort Bend and Harris County sales tax rate is 8.25%. I checked a receipt from 3 weeks ago and tax charged was over 10%. Check your receipt regularly to verify that charges are accurate. Service is good. Nice location.

    This location is actually right down the street from where we live. Not even a mile from us. We always drove past it every day since it was in our daily commute. Decided to drop by and order for dining out. The interior was great, the atmosphere was welcoming. We'll dine in next time. As for the food... Ruthie's Nachos were great. The Enchilada was well made too. The Quesadillas were the highlight. Also have to say this is the first place where the salsa that came with the tortilla chips were not watered down at all. Actually had taste and spice to it. Will visit again.

    The drinks are the best thing on the menu! The service is very good but the food is bland and tasteless.

This goes to tell you how popular the restaurant is amongst the locals. Despite being full when we arrived, we were still seated relatively quickly (within 10 minutes). We started with chips and queso/salsa and some drinks for the table then ordered some family platter fajita wraps and shrimp quesadillas. It was a large meal for a group of three, and we were all savoring every bite. The food was so good that I completely blanked on taking pictures of it before we devoured the plates. The environment was very lively on Saturday night, and performers walked the dining area serenading various guests. I also caught two tables nearby with birthday celebrations, which added to the festive vibes in the restaurant. One recommendation to make the experience even better would be more training for the waiters to recognize when is appropriate to check on needs at the table without being overbearing. Our waiter came by the table multiple times and interrupted our conversations while asking the same question: how is everything going? Aside from some minor improvement opportunity for the service, everything else was great and we will definitely be stopping by again in the near future.
