Ruiz's Mexican Restaurant [901 N US 67, Florissant]

Ruiz was just a bit above average. We have only been once and it was shortly after our arrival from Texas. I have had far worse, [insert the name of every Mexican food restaurant that we tried in the Boston area with the exception of one place that I cannot remember the name of in Union Square, Somerville]. The guacamole Ruiz was quite good; the rest was nothing special. Rio was not thrilled, Ambrose complained; neither of these is a good sign. I was so desperate that I would have been happy with virtually anything that improved on Taco Bell. On this account, Ruiz did not disappoint. The one thing that was quite memorable was that they have good flour tortillas. This is an important thing to me; now that I have found Harina para Tortillas, it matters quite a bit less because I can make my own.

This review is admittedly a bit lame, but it has been a few months since I was back there. If I find myself in Florissant again, I might go back, but I would not make a special trip.
