North Carolina Bars Serving Bombay Sapphire Cocktails | Eater

"You can’t beat a buzzing taco spot nestled in a historic — and purportedly haunted — Tuscan-style 1920s villa. RuRu’s is a notable spot for big groups; the spacious back patio is equipped to meet all your party needs with its own outdoor bar, roomy tables, and attentive servers. Start like a pro, and get chips and guac, and a Bombay Sapphire Sparkling Lemon to pair. As for food, quesadillas here are stacked, stuffed, and crispy, but of course, the star of the show is the extensive taco list. Local faves include the pineapple mahi taco or the Korean-style sweet and spicy steak taco." - Kayleigh Ruller

We decided to come for Mother’s Day. We wanted to sit on the beautiful patio, but the weather was not cooperating. We sat inside and had a wonderful waitress. We started with some drinks and appetizers and then ordered our meal. It really was not crowded at the time when we went so it was nice. The food was great, service was wonderful and we had an amazing Mother’s day meal. We will definitely be back.

Stopped by on a weekday and we were the only table there, it was super quiet, which we personally enjoyed. We sat outside since it wasn’t too cold. The food came out super fast. The tacos were okay but one tasted like it wasn’t super fresh. Like reheated meat. But it was still tasty! Our server was very attentive and friendly.

Restaurant is gorgeous. Amazing patio to sit on nice day. Service was great. I order house margarita and it’s was ok nothing special just ordinary margarita. We order there trio apps and loved the quac, and queso but salsa was really mild. My husband order the chicken taco which was really good. I ordered vegetarian taco which I did not like it. It was really blend. Definitely will Go to enjoy apps and patio.

I have been hearing good things about here for a while. However, my recent visit blew my expectations out of the park! The service was friendly and fun! Our server offered great suggestions and answered all of our questions. I ordered the steak fajitas and added shrimp. The food was well seasoned, steaming hot, and gave my taste buds the best dance party lol. I plan to come back soon to try the tacos. The other people I was with ordered them and they looked great!

Hyped up overpriced taco place for yuppies. Period. Service was the best part of the place. It's astounding what people believe is good food.

We started with salsa and queso both were great, also had pork belly as an appetizer that was my favorite part. Then I had the steak fajitas and I had asked for no onions but it came with lotsssss of onions. Patio was beautiful and I'd recommend!

One of my favorite spots in the city. I've been going here for years. I love their patio in the Spring and Summer. Although they have changed their menu a bit since COVID. They still have good variety and excellent drinks. This visit was no different, my nachos were delicious and my best friend enjoyed her quesadillas. We did ask to be moved because they gave us a window seat with a bunch of dead bugs on it. But the waitress quickly found us a new table. Parking is always crazy in their small lot but it's worth the wait.

I had a nice dinner here with a new friend on Wednesday. We arrived around 730pm and sat outside. There was live music which was nice- a little loud but we could still here each other. Also enjoyed his set list- he even put some indie stuff (Mt Joy) in the queue which was awesome. They have a robust menu of tacos, quesadillas, burritos and more. Skipped the drinks that night but could definitely be tempted by a marg in the future. We each ordered a few tacos - I got steak, I forget what my friend got! But they came out super fast, lesss than 5min. I almost considered getting another but the one filled me up just fine. For $6 a taco, seems a little steep but they were filled with meat and it's nice that you can get them a la carts and not as an entire entree with rice and beans etc. Our server was friendly and gave good recommendations. There's parking in front and back which is nice to not have to worry about. Overall I enjoyed my meal here and would come back for another taco Tuesday/anyday! @azfitfoodfun

Ok, the service really needs help! There were only 3 tables having food and it was a nightmare trying to get our waitress to frequent our table to collect our order, refill beverages, and even get our check. The food was great, and I would certainly recommend it. The cocktails (I had two margaritas with top shelf tequila that were so great), the trio sampler with chips was so tasty, the guac was freshly made, and the tacos were mouth watering. I know the bartender and chefs take a great deal of pride in this place but the service does not match the expected experience. Lots of seating options inside and out, with a vibe that is very authentic with a twist. I will certainly come back and see if the next visit has the same issue with service, but my first visit left a lot to be desired with the attentiveness of the waitstaff.

Started with the guacamole and chips. Chips came out nice and warm guacamole was flavored perfectly. We also ordered a burrito and a bowl and everything was delicious I would definitely recommend this a place to eat. Service was great and atmosphere was pleasant. Worth the drive all the way from Florida.

If you love tequila and tacos you will be in heaven. This has a great patio as well and dogs are welcome. They have plenty or indoor seating as well and indoor and outdoor tvs for when sporting events are on. Not in the mood for tacos? Try the fajitas!

My boss hosted my small work group here last night for dinner. As a group of 4 we walked in on Wednesday night around 4:45pm and got seated right away. They weren't busy at all. I came in through the back and parked in the back (that's where gps took me) so I never saw the front parking lot or patio area. It was too cold and windy to sit outside so we got seated upstairs or on the opposite room of the bar. We started with the Three Amigos chips and dip trio as well as four different drinks. 3 margaritas and a shaken not stirred. Not a bad start here. For my meal I ordered the Joe Dirt chicken bowl. Although a decent portion there is absolutely no flavor to this bowl. I didn't care for the white beans it really killed the taste for me and made the dish very bland. My coworker got the same and he scraped his plate so I'm guessing he was either really hungry or actually had the opposite opinion vs me. My boss got the Buller, Buller quesadilla and when it was delivered the plate presentation wasn't very appealing. She said she felt like something was missing. I didn't try her quesadilla but she didn't eat much of it and didn't want to take the leftovers. She also didn't care much for the white beans and lack of flavor. The fourth diner had the you had me at hello bowl with the tuna and she took most of hers to go but never voiced whether she liked it or not. We ordered another round of drinks and then got the churros for dessert. Overall, this was just a mediocre dining experience for me. The food was just ok but nothing I would come back for.

One of my favorite taco and tequila bars. It's a hidden gem. The outside patio is absolutely divine in summertime. Everything on the menu is excellent.

At 7:00 on a Friday night, the wait was only 20 minutes which was actually only about 10 minutes. It gave us just enough time to grab a drink at the bar. The margaritas were really tasty but next time I'll ask for salt on the rim. I assumed it would come standard and nobody asked. We started with the dip trio. 5 of us shared it and still had lots of salsa leftover. The portion was worth the money. The tacos are wildly over priced in my opinion. $5.99 for one normal size taco and no side is a little steep. I settled on the waiter's recommendation - the Reuben Feffer bowl and was not disappointed! The bowl included flavorful and tender skirt steak with lettuce, rice, black beans, cheese, pico de gallo, lime crema and pickled onions. It was good and really filling. Overall, cute place to dine with friends or go for a date night. Just expect to spend some $$$.

I visited Ruru's for the first time. The staff was kind and friendly and parking was good. The food came out incredibly fast-within 5 mins of ordering! I didn't know what to expect with the food coming out so fast but it was hot, well seasoned, and fresh. I felt like the bowl was missing something-maybe a salsa or chips to tie it together. It was filling and I'd be willing to try other things in the future. The ambiance was gorgeous and versatile-could easily be a date night, night out with friends, or enjoy the amazing patio.

We love the outdoor patio. It's so much fun and you can bring your dog. The taco names are original and they are creative. We ordered bowls for once instead of tacos, and they were fabulous

I have been coming to Ruru's for yearsssss it's one of my favorite spots. I came in today to get some lunch i ordered my usual quesadilla and it was awful! Turns out the receipts have been changed and I am NOT a fan. Why change something that was working well? The menu has been changed and I am absolutely unhappy and unsure if i will be back. CHANGE EVERYTHING BACK PLEASE

Food is decent, especially the tacos. Table service was soso. Management is terrible. Firstly, they do not have straws - when I asked why, they didn't know a reason, just that the owner has never had them. My son is disabled and requires a straw to drink - we had to go back to the car to get the large plastic straw that goes with his large cup, which wasn't a big deal. The big deal came after the meal when we left without picking up his straw. I drove immediately back less than 10 minutes later and was told that they cleared the table, saw it and proceeded to throw it away. The manager's answer to my question "why would you throw my disabled son's straw away?" Clearly it was left by a guest since they don't have straws....the answer - "why wouldn't I throw it away?" I pressed, indicating that I needed the straw back - which was met by "well, I'm not digging through the trash to get it" from the manager. I said no problem, I will dig, just show me where it is......upon which, she grabbed some latex gloves and dug it out.....got it back in the end, but the manager's attitude was awful. Won't be spending another dine with them!

This is one of my favorite places in CLT. The outside patio is a perfect place to be on a sunny afternoon. The food comes out fast and hot; and tastes phenomenal. Menu is cute with fun references as names. The service is casual but still friendly and professional which I think is the perfect sweet spot. I got a strawberry margarita and three tacos. RuRus is the place to be.

Have always enjoyed this restaurant for its fun outdoor setting, pleasant and helpful service, and good vegetarian options. But I guess I haven't been here in a while ~ there is now just one option for a vegetarian taco. Still appreciate this place, but a bit disappointed.

Ruru's is a good Mexican spot in CLT. Plenty of options on the menu with funny names from movies. They have multiple dining rooms and a large outdoor patio with a bar. Staff was nice and fun to talk with. The food is good! Love all the different taco options and if you go on Tuesday you can get 3 for $12. Look forward to trying more options at Ruru's!

Pleasantly surprised. I actually had never heard of this place. Love the location, nice low key vibe. Dawn our server was excellent. Very polite and attentive. We went during the 3/$12 tacos. I got the; I'll have what she's having - great! Lookin Good Louis - great! But it's shark week - not so good. A little overwhelming with sauce as well. Dawn did allow us to switch out that last taco for another, thank you Dawn! All in all, very pleased with the experience. Definitely recommend for lunch!!

I've been here a couple of times. Something to consider is that's it's not authentic Mexican, think more TexMex... heavier on the Tex and you won't be disappointed. We had the trio of queso (has fresh jalapeños), mild salsa and guacamole. Chips were warm and fresh which is a plus for me! Note: chips and salsa are not free. We got the ahi tuna salad was which flavourful. The peanut vinaigrette was a plus! We also got veggie fajitas and added steak. It comes with crispy tofu and the steak and tofu both have a cilantro marinade that I thought was a bit too heavy on the cilantro side and not enough spice or flavour. Side dish consists of cilantro rice, queso, salsa and guacamole which was a nice touch. Overall it's an ok place.

One of the loveliest, most quaint patios in Charlotte! The food was great, although I would've preferred a little more seasoning or marination on the tofu. My frozen margarita was delicious (strong but sweet!) although as a note, this restaurant does not offer any straws (so if that's your preference, considering packing your own reusable one). Service was very quick and our main server offered great recommendations!

This place is an absolute vibe during the summer! They don't do reservations but you should 1000% try to get a seat outside on the patio when the weather is nice. Service is super duper fast and very friendly! Hands down has the best margs in Charlotte! Guac is really good too! The tacos are a good portion too (not super tiny). The vegetarian tacos are decent (7/10) in my opinion. Wasn't a fan of the hot sauce though. Lots of free parking around the back too. Would recommend as a good date spot or place to celebrate and get food with friends. I went on a Monday at 7pm and it was pretty busy but didn't have trouble getting seating outside within 5 minutes of getting there

This place came highly recommended for the vibes, food and outdoor seating. Had a girls night and unfortunately it did not meet the standard. The entrance isn't easy to find and the signage wasn't visible. While the chips and dip trio isn't free, we were not made aware upfront that the charge would be split by each guest. I didn't eat it, because I didn't order it, but was still charged. The waitress was very curt and almost pushy. The trainee with her was great. Almost everyone at our table commented on the lack of seasoning and no one finished their food. Asking for different sauces and salt/pepper didn't help the flavors. The mocktails, however, were tasty.

I love this place because they have great drinks. But I came on a Saturday and it said on Google that they close at 11. It was about 10:30 and everyone was already ready to go. I felt rushed. Which is bad because Google says they close at 11. So just because of that I know now to not come on Saturday nights and if I do to come before 10. I understand that the restaurant is in an area where the crowd can die down and you would think to close early so I wasn't mad! But I will say as a guest I will no longer consider this place for Saturday night just for courtesy of the staff :-)

Cute little tucked away spot! Beautiful outside seating area. House Margaritas were delicious. The dip trio was 3 full sized dips which was surprising and amazing as most places do miniature bowls for trio. Tacos and bowls were very yummy. Marie was our server and she was so fun and did a great job. She gave us churros on the house for a birthday we were celebrating! Can't wait to come back.

I'm surprised this place has only 3.5 stars. Completely undeserving for this hidden gem. Not having sangria on the drink menu probably dropped it down a notch for me but they were able to make one for my cousin and the drink I ordered instead (I forget the name) was absolutely fantastic. Plus, the atmosphere here is really nice. Great patio and festive decor on the interior. Our server was wonderful as well. The biggest win here though, was the food. I ordered the Long Duck Dong and Looking Good Louis with a side of yellow rice and beans and it all tasted great. Left absolutely stuffed and glad I came.

Good food. Good portions. Good servers. Lots of parking in the rear. We went for lunch and had the pleasure of sitting outside. It was a perfect day to be outside and an even better place for lunch with the girls. We'll be back!!

Came here with two toddlers by myself on Halloween. The hostess/server Lindsey couldn't have been better! She helped me get situated with two high chairs on the patio, and was attentive and kind but also gave us our space. Food came quickly and was hot and yummy- my toddlers loved the kids' quesadillas and shared sides of rice and beans. My bowl was amazing, and I'm still thinking about it days later. We will definitely be back!

Ruru's has been a staple in my Charlotte experience. Being a Charlotte native, this is a place that I continuously recommend to people and often visit. I've had birthday dinners here, Saturday brunches with friends & even random midday lunches. My family comes here a lot, and we are all disappointed in the new experience. They have decided to change so much of the menu, and the changes are for the worst. The chicken is now beyond disgusting, the guacamole has become abysmal and I am completely not a fan. I am honestly scared to even try anything else, and I will not be returning. I find it crazy that the menu has been changed, when it has been working for years. I am disappointed and honestly saddened that one of my favorite restaurants has now become somewhere I no longer will visit.

It's Taco Tuesday so why not RuRu's?!? This is a quaint restaurant. Ambiance is colorful and lively. Started my dining experience with chips. The chips were served with fresh salsa, guacamole and Queso cheese. This is a starter and not complimentary as with standard Mexican restaurants. The condiments were great and super fresh. As my entree, I had the chicken fajitas. The fajitas were okay. I can't say that I was blown away but simply, okay. My cocktail was okay. So, my thoughts are ... okay. I'm willing to go back and try another entree.

3.5 My husband and I stopped by one evening last week and it was pretty chill. Getting to it can be a little difficult as you can get to it from the front and back. Once inside and seated, my husband ordered the Long Duck Dong and I'll Have What She's Having tacos. I ordered the chicken quesadilla. Both were decent, and we appreciate that our meals were stuffed/large portions. For drinks, we got frank the tank in strawberry (which was so good) and in mango (also good but not as good as the strawberry flavor). Overall we had a decent experience and would come back especially for drinks. It's a great place to hang out with friends and just chill out.

I met two friends for dinner at RuRus. We were seated immediately. We had a fabulous waitress. We ordered the trio appetizer with queso, guacamole and salsa. The chips were delicious and so were the dips. I am pregnant, so I didn't get to enjoy any adult beverages but both of my friends said the drinks were delicious, especially the skinny margarita. We all had two tacos, and the food came out quickly. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant!

I got the snoop a loop. Basically like a super nacho. It was big and filling seasoned very well. I also ordered a sliced avocado and they did that correctly. The service was great. I sat at the bar and was checked on regularly. The restaurant itself was busy, it was lunchtime. I have nothing negative to say. If you are in the Providence road and Queens road area give it a try.

We were seated outside at a booth near a fan. We loved it. The patio was comfortable and had a good energy to it. Our server, the female bartender who served us tonight, was attentive, polite, and responsive. Food came out SO fast. Amazing. Got the weekend drink: the Pineapple Express with mango and tajin. Delicious. Best margaritas in all of Charlotte. Got the pico, guacamole, chips, 4 total drinks, 6 tacos, with tip ~$120. I don't regret a single moment of it.

Really like the atmosphere at Rurus, it gives authentic Mexican cantina but in a modern way in South Park Charlotte. Was able to take some people from my team at work here for a celebratory dinner. I didn't realize that they did "margarita Monday" lol I did it partake but I have had their house margarita before and it was great, heavy on the tequila just like I like it. The names on the menu are so fun! We ended up order the tuna and queso, guacamole, salsa and chips to start. The tuna was so well seasoned, so yummy!! I ended up getting a rice bowl with steak. The steak was well seasoned and yummy. I would probably get something else the next time that I go, but everyone enjoyed their meal and our waitress, I believe her name was Jordan, was so helpful and sweet!

The taco options are many. Different types for all taco lovers. I ordered the chicken burrito (how do you like them apples) it was a BIG burrito. I got the Pineapple Express margarita with salt on the rim. It had a hint of jalapeño. So yummy. The service was great. We had a large party and day outside. They had a great patio aesthetic and heaters because it was cold. Fun atmosphere. Great food.

Visited on a Tuesday for taco Tuesday with my sister and a couple of friends. There was about a 5 minute wait then we were seated at our table. We started with waters while we looked over the menu. The waiter let us sample the salsa and we weren't fans, so we just got the Ma the Meat Loaf which was their house made guacamole (weird name for it). We also got a frozen pitcher of the Friend Zone with a mango strawberry flavor. We ended up getting more guacamole while we waited for our fourth. Once she arrived we ordered another gucamole and then were ready to place our food order. I got three tacos which were $12 for their taco Tuesday special. 1. I'll Have What She's Having which was really good. The mahi mahi was seasoned and cooked well. 2. Gaylord Focker was good as well with a nice amount of cauliflower. 3. Vegas Baby Vegas was my favorite. I'm a big fan of ahi tuna which is essentially served raw, so if you don't like raw fish don't order it. Overall it was a good time and our server was really nice.

The chips, queso, and guacamole were the favorites of the appetizer dip trio. The amount of food in their Bowls was a generous portion. Easily two meals in one. A couple shakes of their hot sauce provided the extra flavor/spice it needed. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Great live music in their outdoor space. It's a fun atmosphere. Employees were friendly and there was ample parking.

Great food and service. I ordered the queso and chips which were really good. I also ordered the Clarence Beeks burrito which was filling and very flavorful. I wasn't a fan of the pineapple express cocktail. It was very heavy on the mix and not the tequila. The churros were ok but I don't think I would order it again. There was plenty of parking and easy to find. They also have outdoor seating and bar with great music. Overall, a great experience.

Not bad but not the most authentic Mexican food. Came here last week with friends. Our server was SUPER nice from the moment we sat down, which I appreciated. We ordered the guac and margaritas to start. They had a large assortment of margs but I went with the basic: it was decent. The guac was also decent, but the chips it came with tasted stale to be honest. For dinner, I ordered the chicken fajitas. It was pretty flavorful but again, probably not the most authentic fajitas I've had. For dessert, I ordered the tres leches: pretty good but it was missing the "wow" factor. The names of all the dishes and drinks were cinema themed which was cool! I would come back, but to be honest I'm not sure the price is worth.

Came here to kick off Taco Tuesday. It was busy as expected but well worth the wait. The drinks were good and unique. I can't recall the name of what I ordered but it was basically tequila at the bottom and topped with red wine. Very unique combination but delicious. Also the handhelds/ tacos were delicious. I didn't necessarily care for the chips and salsa- but everything else was nice. The ambiance of the place was really cute as well. I was told the outdoor patio is normally packed during the warmer months.

Loveweeee ruru's!! Went on a Tuesday and tacos ended up being 3 for 12 instead of $5/each :) My all time favorite taco is the slapping the bass with the fried mahi. Magic mike skinny margarita was yummy and I've also enjoyed the frozen mango margarita in the past.

Menu looks a tad pricey but about right for the neighborhood. The tacos look decent in size and are even more filling. Both tacos had an awesome mix of ingredients that balanced sweet, hot, tangy, etc. The space was also really nice, separated into different areas for a cozier feel. The back porch is airy and beautifully decorated.

I love coming here for the patio vibe..... but after coming twice I still have yet to be impressed by their tacos. We started with the I'm McLovin (Chips and Queso) We ordered 4 different tacos (Chicken, Duck, Steak & Shrimp) and the chicken fajitas. Nothing was bad, it just wasn't impressive. I didn't like my drink (the Prison Love) but I did like my husband's (the Pineapple Express); even though he thought his was too spicy. We probably should have just switched drinks.

A cute spot for tacos and margs! Came here for dinner on a weekday, it was pretty lively and there was no wait time. My party got seated right away on the patio, which was a nice vibe with TVs and some lights. We got chips with queso, salsa and guac to share - the queso was my favorite followed by the guac. For my meal, I got the spicy margarita and 2 tacos - marg was great and tacos were also good. I preferred the stage 5 clinger (fried chicken) over the looking good Louis (shrimp). Prices are a little high for tacos though ($5 each). Our waiter was amazing! He was very sociable and friendly and helped us out with picking a marg and tacos. Overall a really good experience!

Yelp
One word review: Meh It's a beautiful patio area and a hilarious menu if you are into 80s-90s movies, but the food was a let down. If I'm paying $6 for a taco, I expect the main protein to be hot and/or freshly cooked. The chicken had obviously been in a steam table for too long, and it wasn't a rush hour. The kitchen was perfectly happy letting mediocre food go out to tables. None of the 4 different tacos we tried left us thinking that we would order 'em again. House margarita was good and service was friendly. With 1 margarita, 1 tea, shared queso and 4 tacos, we were left thinking $60 for this?

7/17/21 first visit Lesley & I enjoyed a great meal here with another couple. The place was pretty busy, inside and out. They have an outside bar and a ton of outside table. We were fortunate enough to score a patio table and were sat in about 10 minutes. The bartender outside was engaging and quickly poured our drinks, Donkey Punch. The food was great, we started with Three Amigos as an appetizer, chips salsa queso and guacamole. The chips were warm with the perfect amount of salt and each of the dips were extremely fresh and full of flavor. They offer a pretty wide selection of signature tacos, burritos and other typical Mexican dishes. Lesley had a burrito (that was to big for her to finish) and I went with 2 tacos: But It's Shark Week (Buffalo Chicken) and I'll Have What She's Having (Mahi Mahi) both were incredibly delicious! To close the meal I enjoyed a classic margarita on the rocks with salt, it did not disappoint! Our server Lauren T was awesome! 5 and we can't wait to go back!

Cool spot for some good food. Outdoor patio is great, weather permitting, but inside is nice too and surprisingly big. Had great service last week from Jonathan, checked in frequently and gave us good recommendations. Definitely worth checking out

Anytime we are in Charlotte, we have to stop here! Quick and nice service! We normally get tacos but have recently begun getting the snoop a loop nachos and they are incredible! The chipotle aioli makes them unlike any other. The guacamole is also delicious. It's unique in that it has a nice smoky flavor. The churros are served with a delicious cream that you could eat an entire container of. Highly recommend!!

Yikes, overpriced gentrified mediocrity. *First time experience review, could have been a bad visit/choice of food.* Took a long time to be greeted, no complimentary chips and salsa, paid $5.99 for the most mediocre salsa I've ever had in my life. Margarita was okay. Tacos were okay. Tried to bring my laptop to work and they had 3 Wi-Fi networks but didn't know the password to any to use. Server was not attentive at all. Had heard so much about this place and not sure why, might take a while to try to go back. Ambiance was the only great thing about it I guess.
