Ruiz Mexican Restaurant

I have been going to Ruiz' for at least 30 years. The people there are the best! The food is fantastic. We Love it!! Pros: the atmosphere is wonderful. food is fantastic. Service is #1 more

I LOVE Ruiz Maragaritas! They are the best in town hands down!! The staff is always so friendly and helpful. Their rewards program makes our family feel special and appreciated. The food is great, and needless to say, we cant go too long without having our Ruiz fix!!! Pros: service, food, rewards program & margaritas more

We were visiting from Los Angeles and wanted to eat some mexican food and we were so delighted to find Ruiz's. The food was outstanding and we voiced our pleasure to the server saying that the food rivaled the mexican food we were use to in Los Angeles. We would definetly eat there again. The one weak point was that we ordered a pitcher of margartita's and needless to say it was a little weak on the tequila. Other than that it was excellent and we would recommend it to anyone. Enjoy. Pros: great food, large portions, good value Cons: weak margaritas more

My family has been going to Ruiz since the 70's (before I was even born). If you want real-authentic Mexican food there is no other place than Ruiz. I was fortunate to have been raised on real Mexican food, not like ""today's Mexican""...Their menu has expanded and includes a children's menu. Their Happy Hour is awesome and their free chips and salsa is the best. For those who love salsa, guac, and bean dips try the sampler. Ask for the ""green salsa"" if you want an extra kick. There are salt water aquariums and a kid-room with a television and games for the children. Ruiz accomadates large parties as well. We all go out to dinner as a family to celebrate birthdays (there is usually about 20 of us). We even held a retirement party there!! Pros: authentic food/salsa, prices/happy hour, accomadations more

Ruiz rocks! i highly reccommend it.. everything there is great.. i love there cheese enchiladas and burrito melt.. and gotta love the margaritas... more

95% of all restaurants fail within their first year of business. For a restaurant to thrive for 37 years is a testament to the quality of the product that they serve to the public and the quality of the food at Ruiz' has always been top-notch. Pros: great food, excellent margaritas, delivers more

St. Louis' oldest Mexican restaurant is nothing more than classic Tex Mex. Bland, uneventful, and boring flavors bring out the worst in their menu. On the other hand, the service was excellent, but even a smiling, friendly wait staff can't boost Ruiz. They should change their slogan to ""St. Louis' oldest Tex Mex restaurant,"" because they don't deserve to label themselves authentic Mexican. Pros: Service, Margaritas, Music Cons: Appetizers, Entrees, Dessert more

I have eaten at Ruiz since I was about 10 and now I am almost 50. I now live about 1000 miles away but whenever I come home I always make a stop at Ruiz. I have lived in and visited many cities in the US and always compare my Mexican experience to Ruiz and I have yet to find one that makes me feel as if I have gone home again. Pros: inexpensive, good parking, family oriented more

This is by far the best Mexican Restaurant I have been in St. Louis. Number 1... I had heard that it was very good and open and was told it was easily #1 in St. Louis. So I decided to check it out myself. I was amazed, you are greated by a host right when you enter and are quickly seated. I would strongly recommend making a reservation beccause they get packed quick. The food is authentic and the restaurant is owned by Marissa and Doug Marshall. Marissa is Jose Ruiz daughter. A+ Restaurant! Pros: Great Service, Good Variety, Tv Room For Kids more
