Ruben's Grill Mexican Restaurant

Best posole! Been sick the past couple days and have got it twice now and will continue to come back for it. The lady who helped me was super nice makes the experience that much better. Thank you!

Very old school. Always freshly made. Rubin is the owner and cook. Chips and salsa always included. My favorite Mexican restaurant in Albuquerque.

My niece used to work with Ruben for a few months, she used to come home complaining about being forced to do cleaning since no customers were visiting the restaurant, she even mentioned us that Ruben was using the same pair of gloves from 9am to 8pm, that means even when he was using the restroom he would never remove them, or change them after, that’s very disgusting! Can you imagine what those gloves went through while he was in the restroom?? Besides forcing his employees to do special cleaning instead of using a company for it, he’s also cooking your food with the same gloves he wiped his… uggh. I can’t believe this!
Service is not so good when the male server is there, (his son), seems to hate that place! That kid is very rude and disrespectful. Service is good when the female girl is there, you see every single customer happy as soon they walked in and she’s there. She’s very friendly. This used to be our favorite place to eat, my niece was excited to work there but after seeing how things really are…. She decided not to work for this machista guy, who thinks he’s always right! Be careful people! You might get food poisoning or even something worse, since you see Ruben walking around the store or using the same pair of gloves to use the restroom or to cook!

My favorite place to eat and unfortunately had a bad experience. I got some carne Asada fries i added guacamole and it was very old , dark in color. The lettuce was also old. I couldn't stomach what I did eat and couldn't finish the rest. All around everything tasted poorly and some of it was old product.

The food was amazing. I got the combination plate with enchiladas, tamales, and a taco. For the drink I got a normal soda, Dr. Pepper. But there was the chef and one server in the restaurant. Immediately when me and my family entered the server was very rude. We did get there an hour before closing but he still gave us very poor service and was sighing and rolling his eyes at us. Later two separate purchasing customers entered and he was also very rude to them. Would not personally recommend.

I came in had to wait a while to be attended and i was the only person there. When the rude kid come and takes my order I politely ask him if i can get extra bread with my posole and the kid tells me “ my family has owned this business for 20 years” 🤣 if theat would true you’d know that posole never comes served with tortillas only

Great food . Affordable prices. Friendly employees.

Unsuspecting... so friendly and the food was AMAZING! We will definitely return. The shrimp and scallops cocktail was great and the tacos were so fresh. This place is now on our short list for a great dinner! Thank you for all you do.

Very good NM food and reasonable.

Super tasty tacos. Reasonably priced. Timely service and friendly servers and cook. The atmosphere is casual and a nice place for lunch. Traditional Mexican music in the background makes for a really enjoyable dining experience. Cool artwork on the walls, too! Highly recommended!

Clean plates all around.

Great posole. Excellent Gorditas.

Some of the best authentic Mexican food around.Everything cooked from scratch. So glad I stopped here on a whim. Will definitely be a mainstay in our house.
