Reuben's is located in downtown Hilo. I had their chicken enchiladas and my husband had their beef enchiladas. Both were served with rice and beans. We ordered chips and salsa and were expecting red salsa. It was the green salsa which was extremely hotter than normal to us. The food was served hot and service was good but I don't... more

Stopped here on a round-the-island drive and got exactly what we expected - good, solid food, well prepared. Their extensive menu covered all of the classics and both their margaritas and selection of tequila is outstanding. Our table of five had a variety of food ranging from beef to fish but the standout for me was the pork tamales. For... more

The crowd was a pleasant mix of what looked like recent transplants, locals, and tourists. The... more

It's down to earth, no frills, no drama --just like the food. The beans are divine, creamy and oh-so-good, what... more

We ate here on our way to the volcano area one day. The food was good. Parking is a little tough but there are a couple of public parking lots to look for where you can get lucky and find a spot, though you may end up walking a bit. Overall the food here was surprisingly good. I didn't expect... more
