This place is now our favorite list!! The food and service was amazing. The combination dinners are delicious, their green chili and the Queso is a must try!

Overall id say a very decent place to eat and spend sometime. Food was good and so was service. Only down would be a little noisy.

Came in for the first time and I’m glad to say I found my new favorite Mexican restaurant. The food was delectable with a subtle spice to it. I also found the most authentic tasting Micheladas here, the kind that leave you feeling refreshed on a hot day. The servers are all friendly, they made us feel right at home. Rubens Grill is the best Mexican restaurant in northern Colorado.

First time visit, we were in Loveland and needed somewhere for lunch. The prickley pear margarita was delicious. I got the steak fajitas, yummy!

We had a party of 5 on a Friday night at 6:30. We were seated in the back room. We ordered the chorizo queso which was really good. We had : the Chile Colorado, loaded potatoe and steak, 2 different burritos i don't remember the name and a the chicken creme. My friend ordered guacamole on the side but instead it came in a heap on top of the burrito. The Chile Colorado was brought out about 10 mins after everyone else's meal. After we were finished we waited a good 20 mins before our waitress arrived. Over all the food was good, the service was ok but we had a nice evening.

Great food and service! Good Mexican food in Colorado is hard to find. Ruben exceeded expectations. I had their Barria Tacos and they were great.
