Going to update my previous review: I still love this place! The drinks are great and the service is very attentive. The chips and salads are divine.

Pretty good. We will definitely be back for the platters, so consider this an unfinished review. My husband got two tacos birria. (We forgot to order quesobirria ), and thought it was pretty solid. We each got a shrimp plate. I got my normal al mojo de ajo. It was fine, but I've definitely had better. The serving sizes are pretty small, and for $20 a plate I'm not entirely sure I would come back again for these particular dishes. The camarones a la Diabla had a kick, but also had a barbecue sauce base? Again, it was fine, but not the best that we've had. The service was amazing. The serving staff came up and checked on us several times, and made sure that we had everything we needed.

We saw this place on TrendiEats and we're not disappointed! The staff was all attentive and the outdoor seating was clean and well organized. The Shrimp Miche and the tamarind Margarita were fantastic and so was our food. We had the Camarones a la Cucaracha and the Tacos Governador, both very flavorful. We are definitely coming back.

Visited for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic started. Ruby's has a very clean and open outdoor seating area that easily accommodated our party of 5. I believe they newly partnered with a new chef who specializes in seafood. We got the aguachile/ceviche platter and despite it's HUGE size, we did not have any leftovers! The flavored flights were delicious, as were the micheladas. We will definitely visit again.
