I, too, only recently tried Ruben's Tacos and have been back every week. I keep trying everything and have yet to be disappointed! Even my mom loves it. She's had many burritos in her lifetime and said last week, "This is the best burrito I have ever had!" - and I believe her!

It's a good truck so atmosphere is not important. Tacos were great, fresh tender meats and fresh toppings. Burritos the same with tasty rice and beans. Service is ultra friendly. Love this place!

I decided to try Ruben's a week ago, and am now on my third visit in two weeks. Their Chile relleno burrito is amazing!! Get it with brisket!!

I've passed by this place every night for a while and finally decided to stop in. Got a Chile Relleno burrito with brisket. So good!!! Five stars food, five stars service, three stars atmosphere due to being in a parking lot in the rain. Will come again!!

Ruben’s tacos were just ok. The birria taco was better, but steak and al pastor just weren’t good, they were tasteless and dry. There are far better taco spots in Santa Cruz. We didn’t try the burritos, maybe those are redeeming…

Best California Burritos in Santa Cruz, perhaps the world, but I haven't tried them all unfortunately.

Just gonna have to take my word for it.

Can't wait until they get their own brick and mortar. (Crossing my fingers)

Burrito Roll

Skip it. The food is edible but thats about the nicest thing I can say. It's more like tex mex with zero flavor. The salsa was bizarre and watery. I got the chicken burrito and steak and it was some of the most bland food.

Ruben’s fish tacos are like no other: absolutely scrumptious and an unbeatable price. Ruben and Leticia catered my daughter’s graduation party yesterday for about 80 people. Everyone raved about the food, especially the fish and shrimp tacos. Ruben, I’m craving a fish taco now! :)

Vegetarian options: I asked Ruben to make the rice and beans vegetarian for my vegetarian guests: so delicious!!
