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!

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.

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

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
Jackie A.

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

Original Fish Taco® Two Taco Plate

we had such a great experience. staff was super friendly and welcoming. The salsa bar was fully stocked and clean! the food came quickly and the quality was great and super fresh!! i rubio

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.

However today I have NEVER had such terrible service in all my years. I put down my name and waited to be called. No issue there. My gf and I were sat, and we immediately ordered because we knew what we wanted which was pozole. The tray of tostadas and veggies came out within the first 5 minutes. So we thought "Oh it should be coming out soon" boy was I wrong. The first red flag should have been the people that were sat after us getting their food first. The second red flag was tables before us barely getting their food 15-20 minutes after we sat down. Was the food brought all together? Nope. It was brought one by one. I watched each persons face filled with disappointment when they see food coming out and its not theirs. I was one of them. It wasn't until about 30-35 minutes where I said enough was enough. There was a younger waitress I flagged down and told her I just wanted to pay for my agua de pina and wanted to leave. She apologized and asked what we ordered and we told her pozole. She said the agua would be free and pozole would come right out. So I agreed to stay. AND THAT'S WHERE I FUCKED UP (excuse my language). Because at this point I'm already seeing red and I'm LIVID. The pozole finally comes out and surprise surprise..... it's cold. Not only did we wait for about 40-45 minutes at this point but the food is cold. I decided to say fuck it, the food is here I'm just going to eat. So we did. When we finish and decide to pay our same waitress that seated us, took one look at the table and said ok Two pozoles and an agua de pina. My gf looks at her and says the agua was on the house. The other waitress gifted it to us because we have been waiting for more than 30 minutes, and our waitress is an older woman named Miriam. Started to correct and try to argue with my gf about how she didn't know which waitress gifted us the agua. At this point I just start laughing. I have never been so disappointed and disrespected in any restaurant. If you skip the rest and just read the ending, please read this part. Go somewhere else and support a different local business. This place is completely unprofessional and will disrespect you and your time.

We were drawn in by the liveliness of the restaurant; they had Mexican music playing, people dancing, enthusiastic servers and hostesses ,and an inviting tone to the whole place. We were warmly greeted by Valerie who sat us outside so our kids could run around in the surrounding area right outside the restaurant (very convenient for restless kiddos to be able to play a bit). Our waiter promptly came and got us our drinks and food order and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered chicken fajitas, the carne asada plate, and a house margarita that were all spot on. The chips and salsa to begin with were salty, perfectly fried, and crispy. The salsas were very good but definitely had a bite, so watch out! The fajitas were sizzling and spectacular; the portion was huge and the spices and flavors were perfect. The carne asada plate was another giant thing of beauty. All four of us had very happy and full stomachs. Along with the great food and ambiance, the service and friendliness of everyone at Casa De Pancho stood out tremendously. Hugo came to our table and was wonderful with our children; he was so attentive and made us and our kids feel seen and special. We left feeling full but ready to go back soon. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

Will definitely stop there again when in the area.

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!
