"A great outdoor dining experience. Dined outside as part of the Peekskill Summer Music Series. The food was delicious, the service was quick and attentive and social distancing and Covid rules were both handled very well. The menu was surprisingly extensive compared to other places we've been to after restaurants reopened. The wait staff was hard working, pleasant and checked back regularly. This restaurant recently moved from a smaller space, so based on our experience with their outdoor dining we can't wait to see their new indoor dining space."

Good menu options. Friendly atmosphere. Our first time and we definitely will come back. Quit hard to find, authentically Mexican, not Tex-Mex. We were looking for our Mexican restaurant and found it!

I enjoy Rubens, it did get pricey, problem was the service. Nice kid, zero skill as a waiter, no frozen margs, ordered food, never came, was not a pleasant experience. Music was so loud you have to yell, and they really need some experienced servers, people were waiting to pay, it was a mess.

The atmosphere was fantastic! The food was delectable, and the service was outstanding. I felt more like a guest in someone's home than a diner at a restaurant. The drinks were excellent, and both the food and dessert were exceptional. There is a municipal parking lot just around the corner, as street parking can be a bit challenging to find. View menu

Really nice spot. Stopped by one Friday afternoon around 3:30 for a quick bite. Service was prompt and the staff were lovely. They opened up the front shutters to let the light in and some fresh air. It was a nice afternoon in March, the weather was cooland the sun was out. The margarita was yummy and strong. The portions were huge. I would definitely return, perhaps for dinner.

Rubens is my favorite restaurant. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and fantastic and the atmosphere is fun. The menu has the standards you expect in a Mexican restaurant (and they are delicious), but they also have some other wonderful meals. I always have a hard time to decide what to choose. Your table page Guacamole is a must like its addictive chips and salsa. Oh, and they do the best margaritas. Don't miss eating out on Saturday in summer.

"Last night was no exception. Despite the restaurant buzzing with diners, including a celebrity group at the large round table beneath a whimsical mural of a giant octopus attacking a ship (I couldn't help but joke about enjoying one of its relatives as I waited for my appetizer), the atmosphere remained lively yet welcoming. Chef Mike oversees the kitchen with passion and creativity, making it a point to personally greet guests, often alongside his sous chef Sarah. Their visits feel like a warm addition to the dining experience rather than an interruption, and they are always eager to share insights about the dishes and their inspirations. You never know who might be dining nearby, adding to the restaurant’s charm. The “captain’s table,” known for its lazy Susan, was occupied by notable figures like actor/comedian Tate Donovan, AMD's senior vice president Forrest Norrod, and actress Sadie Sink, among others. They were enjoying their evening as we arrived and continued to do so as we wrapped up our meal. I started the evening with a delightful passionfruit cocktail, followed by Korean fried octopus and wild Hokkaido scallops that nearly made me swoon. The octopus was incredibly tender—best I’ve ever had—coated in a delightful sweet, savory, and spicy sauce that complemented it perfectly. Free of heavy breading, the octopus truly stood out. The scallops were cooked to perfection, accompanied by a potato strata, homemade blue potato chips, and a creamy sauce elegantly poured over the dish by our server. My companions enjoyed the yin yang roll, onion baddies (which I sampled and found indescribably delicious!), as well as the Long Island Duck and Fisherman’s Stew—all reported to be excellent. Chef Mike certainly excels at fusion cuisine! For dessert, we knew we couldn't hold back, as all desserts are made in-house by Sous Chef Sarah. We shared the Cherry Poppin' toffee pudding, carrot cake, and Rhubarb Rose. Unfortunately, due to a chocolate allergy at our table, we missed trying the Choc Daddy, but I fully intend to return soon to sample it. The Cherry Poppin’ offered a delightful twist on toffee pudding, using tangy dried sour cherries instead of the usual dates and brightening the dish with Meyer lemons in the sauce. The Rhubarb Rose was a visual masterpiece reminiscent of Willy Wonka: bright and colorful, built on a gluten-free almond cake layered with poached rhubarb, a rich vanilla-rhubarb mousse, lime streusel, and charming curls of rhubarb crisps. Absolutely delicious! The carrot cake was undoubtedly the best I’ve ever tasted, showcasing Chef Sarah's ability to deliver desserts that are nuanced and balanced—decadent yet never overly sweet—a perfect finale to a truly delightful meal shared with great company, all while overlooking a gorgeous view. Just go already! (However, if you dislike waiting, be sure to make a reservation, and for a quieter experience, consider visiting on a Thursday or Sunday.)"
