“ Wow can't believe it took me so long to find this place! The food was amazing, I had to get extra tortillas to go. Just be advised that at peak times you will wait in line for 20-30 minutes and another 30 for your food to come out. ”

“ We love going to Rubi's their tacos are flavorful and packed with meat/veg. The tortillas are one of our favorites. They are so soft and delicious! Two tacos and I'm full, they are so filling. My go two order is a lengua and an asada. My boyfriend enjoys the tinga. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. It's definitely worth the price. Friendly and helpful staff all around as well. ”

“ Find me a better taco in Chicago. Rubi's is an absolute gem and the food is fresh and delicious. Don't plan on staying long, this is a place you eat and go as others are waiting to eat their Rubi's goodness too. Try a few different ones, no matter what you get you won't be disappointed. ”

“ Taco Tuesday on a Thursday....... Our journey to find the best tacos in Chicago, took us to Pilsen......Love the ecclectic look of the shops and restaurants, particular on the street the restarutant is located on. ....Metered street parking......I was told to be sure to pay the meter.......This is a a heavy ticketed area.......We were warmly greeted as we entered. The dining area was festive and welcoming. I really liked the vibe of community dining. There also was bar seating. We opted to eat at the bar......As i'm seating there wait for my tacos, I was thinking Tequila. My carne asada tacos were up. My wife had a chiken quesadilla and a elote to go. Carne Asada served with onion and cilantro with limes on the side......Is there any other way? Paired with a Mexican coke. I usually don't need salsa but I wanted to try it. There is a community fridge with the salsa stored in them. My wife noticed a sign when we walked in saying the salsa was hot. I tired it before I out it on the taco.......There's a story where my wife put hot sauce on her tacos without tasting it, it was a thing.........Back to the tacos.......Excellent........Heavenly even.......The tortillas had to be homemade. The thickness of the tortilla held these stuffed tacos together perfectly. Sure meat was falling out the front and the back of the taco but not through it. 3 tacos were filling, more than might be greedy. The chicken quesadilla, was cheesey with pulled chiken......Delicious........Oh and the elote, that my wife ordered to go? She tasted it while we were still there and you guessed it, it didn't make it to go.........WE ARE DEFINATELY GOING BACK...........We also love how the owner asked for our feedback. ”

“ Awesome taco joint in pilsen with colorful decor and first come first serve seating. Tacos will run you ~$6, each order comes with one but they are fairly large. Probably one of the few places you can find huitlacoche so definitely try it out. ”

“ Owner very friendly Great hospitality Great atmosphere Great food Will definitely come back ”

“ If you're looking for truly amazing and authentic tacos in Chicago, Rubi's is the place to go! A friend of mine brought me here while I was visiting the city, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The tacos at Rubi's are unforgettable. The tortillas are freshly made, and you can taste the difference. The meat is perfectly seasoned and cooked to juicy perfection, with a smoky, savory flavor that stands out. I ordered the steak and al pastor--they did not be disappoint! They came with cilantro and onions--they don't do lettuce, tomatoes or cheese, and they're serious about that lol. Don't skip the salsas--they're fresh, vibrant, and add just the right amount of heat and zest to complement the tacos. The vibe is relaxed, welcoming, and full of local charm. It's not a fancy spot, but that's part of its appeal--it's all about the food. The staff at Rubi's are friendly and efficient. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and they're happy to share recommendations if you're unsure of what to order. Despite being a popular spot, the service is quick, so you won't have to wait long to dig in. Overall, Rubi's offers some of the best tacos I've ever had. Whether you're a Chicago local or just visiting, this is a must-try spot for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food. The combination of fresh ingredients, incredible flavors, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a dining experience you won't forget. ”

“ This place reminds me of my grandma's house and my grandma's cooking. The ingredients are all super fresh, I love that it's family-owned. The place is just so refreshing and welcoming. My favorite go to here is the quesadillas, but the tacos are also great. They're bigger than most taco spots, so you don't need as many to feel full. They have a good selection of aguas frescas and of course, they have Mexican Coke. You'll also find a great assortment of salsas. Something for everyone - habanero, molcajete, verde, cacahuate, and more. Be prepared to wait in line, have your order ready and hopefully it won't be so crowded so you can find a seat! ”

“ We recently tried out the tacos at Rubi's, which has its roots as a Maxwell Street vendor but is now a storefront on 18th Street in Pilsen. It has a colorful interior with communal seating for diners. Order your food at the counter, and you are handed a buzzer that will go off once your order is ready. The food comes out fairly quickly, and the service seemed fine overall. There was always someone coming down the aisles to pick up garbage and so forth. At first we were taken aback by the prices of the tacos (6 bucks for one taco - yikes!). But we were just getting a snack, and of course we heard good things about the tacos. I really liked the pork taco with red mole sauce, it was a bit zingy but very flavorful. The "beef stew" taco was just OK, with enormous chunks of beef though I do not recall if it had much potato if any. My lovely wife liked her asada taco. I must say that the tacos are generously filled with ingredients, and the tortillas are homemade and seemed thicker than average to hold all the toppings together. ”
