Ruffo's Kitchen Fresh Mex - Tyler

So I had not been planning to eat but when I got to the gate it was closed. This is a very small airport and they didn’t open the gate until close to the time to board. I see a small cafe and while not being very hungry I decide to check out the menu. Daily special was 3 tacos. I ask the delightful man behind the counter if it is possible to have one taco? He throws up his arms and says “this is America anything is possible “ bring the lady a taco. Best taco I ever had and made my memories of that day in Tyler Texas unforgettable. Also a bit poignant as it reminded me of my recently deceased dad.

Hurricane Kindness! After a long, difficult and hungry day flying out of New Orleans to avoid a hurricane, Ruffo's kitchen in the Tyler airport was a godsend. Great food and amazing personal attention! Thank you so much! And, YES, the food was phenomenal!

We ended up here by a happy mistake, but glad we did. I eat low carb and had the taco salad, but didn't eat but just a taste of the shell, which was awesome. I had chicken as the meat. It was really yummy, fresh and big. Will definitely eat here again. Staff was friendly and got everything right.

Delicious food. My husband and I are on the keto diet so no tortillas or chips. We ordered nachos without the chips and they were amazing. They had lots of meat and veggies. Even if you aren’t flying this would be a great place to eat.

The food we ate was delicious I would eat there even if I was not flying. A husband and wife team own and run the restaurant. They were a pleasure to meet and talk with them. TRY THEM OUT!
