THE ONLY MEXICAN RESTAURANT I WILL RECOMMEND – I HAVE BEEN COMING TO RUIZ SINCE 1976. IT IS THE ONLY MEXICAN RESTAURANT I TRULY LOVE. UNFORTUNATELY, WE MOVED FROM BRIDGETON TO O'FALLON MO AND IT IS QUITE A DISTANCE TO COME TO. BUT, WHEN I WANT RUIZ, I HAVE TO STOP WHAT I'M DOING AND COME TO FLORISSANT. I DON'T CARE FOR THE LOCATION IN WRIGHT CITY. WHEN THE ST PETERS LOCATION ON JUNGERMAN ROAD OPENED, I STILL CAME TO FLORISSANT BECAUSE IT WAS SUPERIOR. I CAN STILL REMEMBER WHEN RACHEL WAS A LITTLE GIRL. MY FAVORITE WAITER IS ... read more

So refreshing – It is so refreshing to come back to a place over and over again for over 30 years and have the same great food every time! I think one of the most important qualities any business can have is consistency and this place has it in the bag. I have never had a bad meal here-only wonderful experiences that me and my family have enjoyed time and time again. I would recommend Ruiz (and I do regularly) to anyone and everyone who loves mexican food.

Glad I tried it out! – After moving to St. Louis from Arizona I was in desperate need of a good mexican restaurant. Since my move here I have tried many mexican restaurants in the area and after being disappointed so many times I am relieved to say that I have finally found what I am looking for. I went there last Friday after looking it up on this site, and even though it was very busy I received very good and friendly service, got my food quickly and it was delicious. I have to say that I have lived in New Mexico and Arizo... read more

My all time favorite for Mexican food!! – Ruiz is my favorite Mexican restaurant without a doubt. I love their margaritas (gotta try the cadillacs! they'll get you feelin good!) and the empanadas and the fajitas are my favorites. The service is always wonderful and we are always treated like family when we go there--Rocio and Juan are our favorite servers. We vacation in Mexico often and I always joke with my husband that I cannot wait to get back to Florissant and get some good mexican food!

Go to Pueblo Nuevo instead – Hoestly, this restaurent embodies all that is wrong with many mexican restaurants in missouri. It is the typical slop on a plate that most people have come to think is actual mexican food in this area. However, in this case, not only was the food bad, but the service was also slow, the restaurant was dirty and the food had no flavor. Too often, people go to an "ethnic" restaurant and beleive they are actually getting food representative from that particular country, but in most cases, these resta... read more

I don't know what grossed me out more the decor or the nasty food – I believe this place has furniture that is 4 generations. The food was greasy and flavorless- The margarita was watered down and salty. and the prices for what is on the menu are ridiculous. I will not be back.

The best Mexican for 35 years running – When I was a kid in school, our Spanish class field trip was to Ruiz'. Everytime I eat somewhere with someone who assures me he's turning me on to the best Mexican restaurant in town, I find myself thinking, "It's not bad, but Ruiz' is much better!" No one does rice like Ruiz', and the beef they use is just fabulous! Oh my gosh, I'm making myself hungry...
