Ruby’s Mexican Restaurant recently announced plans for a fourth location. 

Ruby’s Mexican Restaurant officially opens its third location today.

The restaurant, at 3502 S. Broadway Ave., Suite 408, will have its grand opening to customers today beginning at 7 a.m.

“Tomorrow is the BIG DAY,” Ruby’s said on Facebook. “… the day many have been waiting for has arrived!”

The popular Tyler restaurant made an announcement last month that it would be expanding to add a third restaurant in the city. 

Menu items for the third location include fajita skillet plates, quesadillas, an omelet served on a bed of potatoes topped with cheese and avocado, flautas, and many more customer favorites.

Restaurant owner Ruby Abarca has grown a successful business, with two current operating locations and the third in the works, after starting with just $21 selling food from her home.

Abarca worked 60 hours a week at her day job and focused on her food during her only off day. Finally, the fruits of her labor and sacrifices paid off when she was able to open her first restaurant, 2021 E. Gentry Parkway in Tyler, in August 2020.

Abarca’s second location was closed due to a fire in March 2021 but later reopened at 813 Lindsey Lane in Tyler.

Since then, the restaurant’s fanbase has only continued to grow. Ruby’s has countless loyal customers and local East Texans who love the food and staff. With at least 25,000 likes on the restaurant’s two Facebook pages, customers’ appreciation and satisfaction can be seen on social media.
