    We travel all over the country for events. Two weeks ago we ended up in Tyler, Texas. None of the local food looked good. This place looked decent so we thought we would try it. Food was good, the person taking our order was helpful and we were served food quickly. We will be back. If you like Mexican food and live in the area, go try this place. If you are driving through and get hungry, stop here.

    I was heading back from Arkansas and I realized I was gonna be getting into Tyler a bit late. It was a 6 hour drive and I hadn’t stopped for food the entire time. As I was coming down 271, getting ready to hop on the loop, I remembered seeing a post for the Ruby’s Food Truck. I figured I would give it a shot, seeing as I’ve never ate from the food truck itself. I ended up ordering what is now my new favorite thing from Ruby’s. It’s called Alambre. It’s steak, pastor, red and green bell peppers, onion, and pineapple. I’m weird, so I ordered mine with just meat and cheese. I also got flour tortillas. Go cry about it. It came with a slice of avocado, some limes, and a red and green sauce. Now here’s the part that really took it over the top. I ordered some of their elote en vaso (corn in a cup) and added that to each taco. The flavor was absolutely insane. Also, the picture of the corn is after I mixed it up and took a few bites lol. My oldest son was still up and I made him a couple of tacos. He said it was also his new favorite thing from Ruby’s as well. Y’all have got to try it. I’m not sure if the alambre is a truck only thing.

    So glad we found this place! The food is awesome ~ drinks too! Hubby & I both got peach lemonade. So great! I got the #11 Lupe’s Plate; red enchiladas, charro beans, rice & a chicken leg! I have never gotten a chicken leg before but it was very juicy. Loved all that I got. The corn in a cup was SO GOOD! Hubby got the steak nachos and they were heavenly. We will be back! 10/10
