Ruben's Cafe is a hidden gem in San Antonio! 🌟 I’ve been here twice, and both times, the food was fantastic. Their carne guisada with cheese tacos is to die for; the meat is so tender, it practically falls apart! The crispy beef tacos were equally delicious.

The atmosphere is cozy, with great music playing in the background, and the service is top-notch - they frequently checked on us and kept our coffee cups full.

I love that it’s family-friendly and wheelchair accessible too. Highly recommend for a casual meal! What’s your favorite dish? 😊

Ruben's Cafe is a fantastic spot for breakfast! Their carne guisada tacos are incredibly tender and flavorful, and the crispy beef tacos are a must-try too. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff consistently checks in for coffee refills. Great vibes all around... Definitely worth a visit!
