    This trash was on the table  .I ask if they could clean the table.Instead they through the trash to the floor

    Trash on the floor on tables. Worst place to come to eat. The food was great just the place looked dirty

    Steak nachos
    Catherine M.

    Ordering food was quick and easy, waited a few minutes to get our food at our table. Came just before the lunch rush on a Saturday. I got the two fish taco plate and my friend got the two fish taco plate especial and steak nachos. Soooo bomb! The difference between the original fish taco and the especial is the especial has guac in it. Anywayssss, all the Bay Area locations closed so when we go to LA, we have to make a stop here!

    I'm abt to scarf down this bad boy coz I'm bulking.

    Hadn't been in awhile I had a pleasant ordering experience on Uber Eats nice to see Rubio's has a lot of selection now. Very nice experience picking it up with friendly faces even tho she was busy taking orders and dealing with Uber ppl it was all very smooth. The FISH and CHIPS is dynamite, very very fresh. Go on put jalapeño in my tartar, I'll allow it, Rubio's just this once! Or I'll prolly be back coz that was YUM enuff to make me get on Yelp! Haha

    Fish & Chips (2 pc)
    Moe N.

    I ordered fish and chips combo for $7.99 and I added one more fish for $2.00 , total of $9.99 plus tax and good enough for my lunch today. fries were different type of French fries. Great combo with budget price.

    Surf & Turf; small portion for $15.99.  Get Asian or Hawaiian BBQ for a much better deal.
    Derek I.

    Surf & Turf bowl was very tiny for $15.99. Get Asian or Hawaiian BBQ for a much better deal. The location is nice and quiet, with easy parking in the back along Loara St. But Rubio's needs to give more food for what they charge.

    Chicken Burrito Especial With Grilled All Natural Chicken

    More like an undercooked rice burrito with a few beans and 5 pieces of chicken. DO BETTER 's! This is nasty!

    Nachos (black instead of pinto beans), added chipotle white sauce and fire roasted corn
    Crystal C.

    Had the BEST nachos!!! Whoever made my lunch cared about quality and has a love for food! Also to note swapped pinto for black beans and added white chipotle sauce and fire roasted corn. Restaurant was clean, staff was nice, gardens out back were beautiful!

    Excellent food and great atmosphere the staff was heaven sent and the tables were nice and clean. Thank you Jesus for Rubio.

    Fish tacos (99c for National Fish Taco Day)
    Grace T.

    Came here for the 99c fish tacos for National Fish Taco Day. Service was just ok. I asked if the side of brown rice and quinoa was vegetarian, and the person at the register just stared blankly at me and said they didn't know. So, I asked if they could find out. They had to ask someone else who then had to shout the question into the kitchen, and it just made me feel kind of uncomfortable and like a burden for even asking. When I got the side of rice, it was literally like 2 bites of rice??? I don't know if this is normal across all Rubio's, but how are they going around charging $2.29 for 2 spoonfuls of rice? It was slightly bigger than the salsa container. This portion size is honestly offensive and a scam. Fish tacos were big and fresh. Add your own lime, onion, cilantro, pickled jalapenos and carrots, and salsas from the sauce bar. They were decent fish tacos - not bad, but I have had better. The restaurant was clean and had ample seating. Parking in the plaza is easy. I hadn't been to Rubio's in years, and, after this visit, I probably wouldn't come back unless it was the last place left on earth serving fish tacos lol.

    Gabriela V.

    The food was delicious. Conveniently located off the 5 freeway. Service was fast and friendly. Plenty of seating and the salsa bar stayed fully stocked. Tried the new steak fries which are an instant favorite. Located in shopping strip with lots of parking and the interior has a lot of natural light which is really nice.

    Come on Rubio's Coastal Grill! You've got to do better. You can't see it, but I'm shaking my head as I type this. With a frustrated look on my face. Apparently, they can't get orders correct. Even if you place your order on the phone app. I ordered an impossible quesadilla, with Mexican rice and guacamole. I got an impossible quesadilla with stale chips. Thanks guys. I also ordered a kids meal, the bean and cheese burrito, French fries and an apple juice. I received a bean only burrito and no apple juice. Wonderful (rolling my eyes and saying that with sarcasm). How you gonna do me dirty like this?! Do better Rubio's! Do better!

Scotty took what was already a great date night and made it truly memorable. Not only was he the best server we've had since we started dining at Puesto, but I'd go so far as to say he was one of the best servers I've ever had anywhere. Scotty had a calm, understated demeanor that was part of his charm. He was genuine, attentive, extraordinarily kind, and somehow managed to keep my Diet Coke with lime full the entire evening. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and was always there at just the right moment. Best of all, he laughed at my dad jokes. While the food was outstanding, Scotty made the experience even better. His service elevated an already great meal into an exceptional evening. We will absolutely be requesting Scotty's section every time we visit Puesto Anaheim.

    Unfortunately, our first visit here on Saturday, September 12th around 1pm was a really…read moredisappointing experience. My mom had tried their food through her work before and had been raving about it, so she was really excited to finally bring my dad and me. Before heading over, I called to ask if they were busy since my mom had to work later that day. I was told there wasn't and that tables were available, so we decided to stop by. None of us had actually been to the restaurant before, so we weren't familiar with how their dine in process worked. We originally planned to take our food to go, but while I was still at the register finishing our order, we changed our minds. The restaurant was very clean and had a nice ambiance, so we decided we wanted to stay and enjoy our meal there. I immediately let the employee at the register know and she told me that was completely fine, to take a seat and that they would bring our food and check to us. When I walked over to the table, another staff member was already speaking with my mom about us sitting there. We explained that this was our first time and that the employee at the register had just told us to take a seat. She explained that dine in customers are supposed to wait outside to be seated, but the way she spoke to my mom and me was unnecessarily rude. There was an uncomfortable back and forth while we tried to explain that we genuinely didn't know the process and were simply following what we had just been told. She eventually rolled her eyes and walked away. About 10 minutes later, another staff member brought out my mom's food along with chips and salsa, which we hadn't received while we were waiting. We expressed our frustration with the overall communication and service and she apologized, which we appreciated. She also explained the dine in process again and we completely understood. We would have had no problem following it from the beginning had we known. What made it even more frustrating was that while we were eating, we watched other customers walk in and immediately be greeted and given directions about where to sit. That was literally all we needed when we first walked in, especially as first time customers. The restaurant itself was very clean and my mom really enjoyed her food. Unfortunately, I couldn't really enjoy mine after how uncomfortable the experience had already made us feel. My mom had been so excited to bring us here, which made it even more disappointing. The issue wasn't their dine in process, it was the way the situation was handled. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return.

Came in for a little date night on a Saturday evening. The whole staff was friendly and accommodating, always quick to refill drinks or clear empty plates. We started off with some delicious and spicy oysters which were topped with a shrimp! We also had to try the Chori-brussels which are flash fried Brussels sprouts with chorizo, balsamic reduction, and Oaxacan cheese. For drinks we got a Santo Dia, a whiskey based cocktail with watermelon, lime, and fizz served over ice. We also ordered the Spicy margarita which had watermelon habanero, lime, and hibiscus flavors. They were both delicious and refreshing, the spicy marg had a good kick to it. For dinner we got a caesar salad, the ribeye plate, and the Urbana burger. We both loved the dressing on the caesar, it's made in house and it shows. The ribeye was cooked perfectly with a delicious herb butter on top, a really good steak sauce on the side, and thick cut fries. The ribeye wasn't the highest quality but it tasted good, the fries were perfect. My fiancé got the burger which had chorizo, melted queso Oaxaca, and an egg on top. Not gonna lie it was absolutely delish! I want to come back just for the burger. All in all we had a great time and I would definitely come back for some other menu items, especially to try more of their margs and specialty cocktails. Thanks Urbana!
