There are several small Mexican eateries in Bernalillo and today decided to try Ruby's because they had the highest Yelp rating in the local area. I said small but this qualifies as tiny. Three small tables on one side of the store with a menu on the wall. The selection maybe somewhat limited compared to the big chain restaurants in the area but this seems more down home. There was a continuous string of customers coming in for take out while we were there. I ordered the chile Colorado burrito and my wife had the Picadillo tacos. The burrito consisted of pork that had been cooked in a red chili sauce. The size was plenty. By weight I'd say it was about 2/3 the size of a Chipotle burrito. However, the flavor was superior. My wife was pleased with the taste of her tacos but the corn tortillas quickly fell apart so she discarded them and mixed in the tortilla chips that came with my burrito. I was happy with the burrito but wished they had a salas or condiment bar.

Haven't lived here for 3 years and was SO HAPPY Ruby's is still there! Such delicious food. Might go today now that it's in my head actually. SO GOOD.

Best tamales anywhere!! I make them do I know. I will buy them from her always now. Awesome tortillas. Corn n flour!!!

amazing food amazing service and all in all a great restaurant, very good food and it's very cheap for the portion you get, please go on DoorDash so I can order more cuz this restaurant is far from me.

A small Mexican general store, inexpensive and good food options. Like getting lunch from the Mexican auntie you may not have. I'm normally not big on carne asada burritos, but theirs was quite good, not the typical overcooked dry ground beef. The shrimp in chipotle sauce had excellent flavor, but was a little scant on the shrimp part. The seating area is quite small, but all orders are served with take-out materials, so if you're looking for a place to drop by and grab a bite, don't overlook Ruby's.

A neighborhood gem! Authentic handmade tortillas, tacos, burritos, tortas, tamales and more. First impression was that the owners have a lot of pride in the place. It's small, but freshly painted with a clean swept front stoop. Inside is equally as clean (even the bathroom). There is a small front area where you can buy interesting Mexican drinks and snacks including fresh, homemade chicharrones--those have to be good. Nearly every other customer stopped and bagged some up. My husband and I ordered the chile Colorado burrito and 2 shredded beef tacos to share. The tacos are small--think 2 or 3 bites--but very tasty. The fresh corn tortillas were the best part. Meat was tasty and tender and the green sauce was delicious and spicy. There was a side of shredded lettuce, shredded cheese and sliced tomato, but no onion, pico, cilantro or other things I have come to expect in a taco. The burrito was also good. Again the tortilla (an oversized fluffy flour one this time) was the best part. This is a large burrito but not like the monster stuffed burritos that are common nowadays. The burrito had shredded chicken in a neon red colored sauce with melted shredded cheese. My husband (who is from El Paso) and I were confused. To us, chile Colorado is beef chunks stewed in a dark red chile sauce. Definitely not the same, but the chicken was still tasty (though a bit overcooked). The most amazing part? All of this food was $9.50 total. Mind blown as far as value. While I would give the food alone 3.5 or 4 stars, the friendly staff, cleanliness and price put this place over the top! If I lived in town I would be a lunch regular.

Tried their asada and pollo taco plates (came with rice), a pollo burrito (with housemade chips), a pollo torta (with chips), and their chile relleno plate (came with beans and rice). Everything (but the torta?) came with 2 house-made corn tortillas. Their meat is very well flavored - everything was delicious. The rice was a little wet, but I guess that's better than dry. The total, with a 1.5L Jarritos soda and a bottle of flavored coconut milk, and five little candies, was just over $50. I had to ask for the rellenos to be topped with cheese and green chile - otherwise they prepare them for you dry. Same with the burrito.

This is a Gem! Amazing food and great service. I had a chicken burrito and it was delicious! I loved their chips. Soo good. They are inexpensive yet so good! It's a little hidden away, but so worth finding!

Wow... Wow! What a fantastic find! I just had one of the best burritos that I've eaten in quite some time... For five dollars. Let me repeat... Five bucks! Oh, and it came with delicious homemade chips and some smokin hot salsa... Drowning and huge flavor. I cannot wait to come back... This place will easily become a regular start... More than likely weekly. Well done!

Very good food, quaint place and very nice staff. Really enjoyed the experience. I tried something new and was very pleased. Good sized portions too. They said burrito was normal sized so I ordered a second item, and both were sufficient to have been a meal.
