“ The food was so Delicious! Fresh, hot and great salsas! Great margaritas and prices too! The staff was so welcoming and attentive! Definitely recommend Ruben's as a must try spot outside of the main tourist zone! Don't miss out! ”
“ Highly recommended! The service is wonderful and the food is delicious. We had the steak nachos, burrito and chimichanga. Goodness gracious! Everything was so flavourful and perfect. The drinks are delicious as well. The prices are much more reasonable than the restaurants next to the beach. They’re only a short walk from the North beach (around 5 minute walk). Definitely recommend going there over the beach front restaurants. Best nachos I’ve had in Mexico so far. Super yummy! Prepare your stomach because it’s big portions. ”
“ If you haven’t tried Ruben’s crispy tacos yet, you’re seriously missing out! Every bite is absolutely perfect—the crispy shell is always fresh and packed with flavor, and the filling is always on point. I can’t get enough of them! Every time I go back, the tacos taste just as amazing as the first time. The staff is super friendly especially Martin, the atmosphere is always welcoming. Ruben’s is definitely my go-to spot for tacos, and I’ll keep coming back for more. Highly recommend! 5 stars all the way! ”
“ Reubens has now moved onto the main part of Hidalgo into a lovely spot. The lobster eggs Benedict was excellent. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back! ”
“ What a great spot, off the beaten path. We were hungry, quick google search and boom, this great little place was suggested!! Very simple menu, we all did the tacos, Mahi Mahi, steak, shrimp. So good, amazing tortillas, fresh delicious guacamole, try the red hot sauce if you dare!! Another great touch was the glass bottle cokes!! Cannot recommend this place enough! Very well priced, 6 of us are for 1250 pesos!! The staff were super friendly, parking was super easy for our rented golf cart. ”
“ Absolutely loved this place. Just a 5 minute walk from North Beach. The food is so so good. We ordered nachos to start, then a burrito and enchiladas, along with a pina colada and a tequila sunrise. DELICIOUS. Huge portions and so much better priced than the restaurants at the beach. If you’re in Isla Mujeres, head up here for a great meal. 10/10! ”
“ Came here for a late night dinner (9pm) there were only a few people there. We sat up top and the atmosphere was super cute ! The server was very attentive and friendly, even gave some awesome recommendations. The prices were a lot better than the places on the strip. I ordered the pomadoro pasta, it was very good! Of course you can’t compare it to authentic Italian, but I really enjoyed it and ate every bite! My girlfriend ordered the beef burrito and was amazed. She said it was the best burrito she’s ever had! I tried some and it was phenomenal. The sauces on the side had the best flavour too! The drinks were great as well. I also want to point out that the food only took 5-10 mins! Could be because we were the only people there, but it was fast and great service. I’d love to come back here and try more items off their menu. Maybe I’ll have a chicken burrito next time! ”
“ Best Eggs Benedict on the island – we highly recommend this restaurant. We’ve tried several restaurants, but these were by far the best. We had the eggs benedict with lobster and one with bacon, with generous portions of both. Service was quick and attentive, making the experience even better. Suprisingly these were also the cheapest eggs benedict that we found on the island. ”
