What's the story behind Ruben's?

## **Our Story** Growing up in Baltimore, Maryland, I was raised by immigrant parents who were seeking a better life. My journey into the working world began early, starting at the age of 12. Alongside my eventual business partner, Jonathan Ramirez, who was 15 at the time, we worked together at Ruben Sr.'s creperie in the local Farmers Market. Despite harboring dreams of pursuing the American Dream through college, my aspirations were dashed when my dream school rejected me. Like many recent high school graduates, I found myself unsure of which career path to pursue. Reflecting on my strengths, I realized that I had a knack for making burritos, honed from previous experience working at my father's restaurant, which unfortunately had to close due to costly flood repairs. As a financially struggling community college student, the prospect of starting my own restaurant seemed out of reach. However, I found a ray of hope in Jonathan Ramirez, my now-business partner, who had previously worked at a furniture store. With his modest savings, we scraped together enough for the first month's rent and security deposit on a location in Baltimore's Federal Hill. For the past seven years, we've proudly served the Baltimore community with some of the best burritos around. And now, with our sights set on expansion, we're excited to bring our flavors to Washington, DC, as we continue to grow and share our passion for food with even more people.

Happy Hour

It was my first time going to Ruben’s with a group of friends on Saturday night and they have this promotion going. I don’t know if they have it every weekend or not but they were giving out free shots Only first round they don’t have much of a selection, but the little selection that they do have is phenomenal, I personally got a mango shot and it was so delicious my favorite! And even the owner Ruben was helping out on giving shots great atmosphere and great music to dance to ! Definitely going back to try out there food & more drinks, definitely recommend for anyone and If An is there he will get you right ! Once again thank you Ruben and your staff for a great experience!
