Rubens

One of the best places I’ve been! The portions were generous and the food was great! I recommend the quesidillas!
An additional plus to this restraunt is the location in town. Great seating for people watching! Just be prepared to get swamped with street vendors attempting to sell you inexpensive rings/​necklaces/​stuffed animals etc etc.
My overall recommendation: get the chicken quesidillas and a few cold coronas! If the food is too much to eat and the beer is to much to drink, call me. I’ll be glad to eat, drink, and people watch with you.

We ate lunch today at Rubens! Amazing!!! Had the pastrami sandwich with fries! It wasn’t Brent’s Deli in California but it was in fact pretty darn good and satisfying!!!

Ruben’s was a total staple for us during our stay in Sayulita. I know, we were skeptical at first as well — a place called RUBEN’S? Sounds like boring American food, not cool Mexican food!
Boy, were we wrong. Ruben’s is a great lunch stop; their fish is always fresh, and their portions are huge. I tried the quesadilla on the first day and it was jam packed with chunks of mahi mahi, tons of cheese, and really flavourful salsa. Boyfriend had the fish wrap and I was immediately envious — it was a huge wrap that looked delicious! Of course, I stole a bite and the next day we came back and shared a wrap. It was too good not to!
There isn’t much space to sit here, but I noticed a lot of people just getting take out and heading back to the beach. The raised seating area is a great place to sit, though, and it’s lovely to people watch from the bar as you look out over the street.
The service is quick and friendly, and the servers have good English. The prices are great and I’d highly recommend trying this place out!
