I was in a pinch for time and nourishment.

Ruben’s came through.

Sat at the bar and Angela solved all my problems.

Black bean soup, then veggie burrito- served with refritos, rice, & salad. Of course, there were the complementary chips & salsa.

Went out to eat for family night. The inside was awkward. Very dark. Uncomfortable sitting area. Wasn’t that busy. The server was nice. The food was very good but the person who made my drink I think put way too much alcohol or didn’t taste good at all. Had to stop drinking immediately and drink water after to feel better. I would go back but possibly go a different day, or sit outside.

The food was tasty, fresh and everything came out quick. Chips and salsa tasted homemade. The beef and pork tacos and the chicken enchiladas were great, however I had a few pieces of bone from the chicken that I had to pick out

We all got margaritas but noticed a bug in one of them and asked for our money back . The staff were quick to throw in 3 shots in return. I guess that’s even…

Food and service were excellent! The prices here are very reasonable and the portion sizes are very generous. Our server was very attentive, and we had a wonderful dinner. There is ample seating, music and overall great vibes. 5 stars!

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 cool and the sun was out. The margarita was yummy and strong. The portions were huge. I would definitely return, perhaps for dinner.

I have been going to Ruben’s for 20 years since it was across the street from its current WAY NICER location. I am now like “part of the family” with the staff that has been there. Ruben strives to please his customers and have live entertainment as often as possible. Last night I ordered jambalaya-never had it there (I’m a picky “safe” eater, don’t vary my menu much) and I loved it! A Margarita is my “go to” drink, never disappoints. If you like a fun, Latin vibe, dancing (weekend nights) and Mexican food this is the place.

In the town for a show at the Paramount Hudson Valley and did dinner here afterward. There were nine of us so we had a wide selection of food and drink. They specialize in Mexican food but I had the jambalaya. It was excellent. A good destination for dinner after a show or dining on its own. If you are into Cajun, try their jambalaya. If not, plenty of food to choose from.

Thank you Rubens for your hospitality as we listened to the lieutenant governor of New York State thank you for having it right in the heart of Peekskill. My compliments goes to the chef. There was an open buffet with amazing vegan food that I tried for the first time. A variety as well of delicious appetizers. I look forward to eating more healthier like this LOL great hospitality as well and their chicken wingettes was crisp and delicious❤️thank you❤️

Special Thanks goes to #TashaYoung​ #kwame leaders of New York Community for Change. The work she is doing behind the scenes is absolutely amazing! We truly value and appreciate the love she has for the people in the community. God bless you. She tuned me in about the meeting at Ruben’s in Peekskill New York to meet the lieutenant governor and hear what he had to say.. I truly am happy I came.
MY REVIEW✅
Lieutenant Governor Delgado comes through as a breath of fresh air for anyone tired of the usual political mumbo jumbo. He’s not just another suit behind a podium—this guy’s got roots in hip hop and law, plus a real family man vibe that’s relatable. What stood out in his hour-long talk was how he called out the nonsense of locking up citizens for non-criminal acts, calling it a form of kidnapping. That’s heavy because it’s about standing up for the people, not playing the political game. He’s all about making New York a place that stands for its people, especially the younger generation.

Delgado’s take on the school system hits hard—he gets that it’s broken and wants to fix it for our kids, not just toss around empty promises. You can feel he’s speaking from a place of love for the community and a desire to uplift the honest folks. It’s not about color or politics; it’s about principles, unity, and fighting together for real change. If you’re looking for someone who makes sense with a street-smart, urban soul, he’s worth checking out more. In a world that often feels divided, his message is clear: Together we rise, divided we fall. That’s something everyone can vibe with and stand behind.

ITSAMOVEMENTTV WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
