For a seemly family-run business in a strip-mall, don't overlook this place. We found this restaurant via "What's Nearby" while we we needed to kill time before checking into our Airbnb. The description sounded good, so we headed towards Don Rubens. I ordered the Blake Tacos (grilled and marinated steak). Let's stop there for a moment. Yowza! Often times steak in tacos can be a bit tough and sometimes grisly. This steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. Top it off with melted pepper jack cheese and they were the most amazing tacos I've ever had. The beans were even amazing! Great flavor. The staff was friendly and the food came out in a timely manner. The house margarita was tasty and priced well. My friend ordered the cheese enchilada and chicken taco. She fell in love with how tender the chicken was and how amazing the cheese melted to bring all of the flavors together. As an out-of-towner, I would return to this place whenever I'm in town just for those dang Blake Tacos!!
Why the 4-stars then? Although we were warned the plate was very hot, I didn't figure it to be the temperature of lava. Holy heck! My finger was sore for the next hour. The plate was hot for a long time which made the food too hot to handle for a good 5-10 minutes after it was served.
Regardless, I would totally return without any reservations regarding the quality of the food or service at Don Rubens Mexican Food.
