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

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!

I would definitely recommend this place. The food was tasty and the workers and owner were all so nice and genuinely friendly too Their portions are very generous for their affordable prices. Love that they use quality ingredients and everything was very fresh tasting, not too heavy feeling and very flavorful! So much variety here to choose from too. Love all the different options available here as I have friends with dietary restrictions so it was great she was able to enjoy the food here with me Their red chojang sauce was tasty and not overly spicy or too concentrated. It mixed really well with the cupbaps we got and tasted just right to us m. Both my friend and I enjoyed all four of the items: The pork katsu salad, the crunchy fried shrimp roll, spicy baby octopus cupbap over rice and the crunchy raw fish cupbap over udon! Love that you have the option to do rice or noodles. They also give you a lil udon soup as well as a small banchan tray with a salad and Korean pickled veggies to complete your meal! Will definitely be back here to try some of their other items and spread the word with my love ones!

Came in on the suggestion of a friend for an impromptu lunch. Although Mendocino Farms has been…read morearound for a long time, I'd never been here and boy have I been missing out! The restaurant has plenty of inside seating and a very nice covered patio area for outdoor dining. Orders are placed at the counter and brought to your table when it's ready. All of the employees we interacted with today were all friendly and helpful. The menu has SO many delicious sounding choices that I will have to make several return visits to try them all! But for today I chose their prosciutto & chicken panini. The sandwich was perfectly pressed and generously filled with carved chicken and all sorts of yummy goodness. This particular dish also had honey roasted almonds sprinkled inside, giving it a very surprisingly nice added crunch. I've been to all the other restaurants in this shopping center and Mendocino Farms is by far the BEST of them all. I've already made plans to come back next week :)

I've always enjoyed the food at Mendocino Farms, but today's experience at the Brea location gave…read moreme a whole new reason to keep coming back. I had a board retreat that was supposed to be catered by Mendocino Farms, but due to an error, our catering order was never placed. With a room full of people expecting lunch and little time to find a solution, I called the restaurant hoping they could help. Jordan immediately went into problem-solving mode. She checked whether they could accommodate a last-minute catering order and even consulted her manager. Although they didn't have the necessary catering supplies, Jordan worked with me to find another option: individual sandwich and salad orders. The team rushed to prepare everything so I could pick it up and make it back to the retreat in time. They absolutely saved the day. The food was phenomenal, as always, but the service truly earned this review. Jordan and the team didn't cause the problem, yet they went above and beyond to help solve it. Everyone enjoyed lunch, and what could have been a major issue became a success. I'll continue coming back for my own meals, and Mendocino Farms Brea will be at the top of my list for future events. Great food earns return visits; service like this earns loyalty. Thank you to Jordan and the entire team for coming through when we needed it. An easy five stars.

I don't care what anyone else says.. Cava is my solid go to spot when I want something quick and…read moreconvenient. It can be on the pricier side so maybe not the best move to have it by a college but I digress. I usually get half rice and half lentils for that fiber boost. I haven't found the sauces that I really enjoy yet but I'm sure it'll be the garlic sauce or skhug (green pepper and cilantro based sauce). Tried their steak and chicken and lamb meatballs and falafel before. Falafel and chicken are my top proteins. My only qualm is that the meat portions can be skimpy depending on who is working. I love the harissa sauce too and the heat is perfect for someone who enjoys spicy options like extra hot Buldak noodles or medium to hot spice levels. Last but not least.. you gotta eat their pita bread or pita chips.

I love Mediterranean and I also love the concept of Chipotle. Cava gives you both :) Ever since I…read moretried Cava, I fell in love. Cava is basically Chipotle but Mediterranean style and all there ingredients are pretty good. My fave meat to choose would have to be the chicken. I would probably say it's better than the steak just because their steak is a little bit tough. Make your own bowl or get their signature bowls! I usually make my own bowl and the bowl comes with a free piece of pita bread which is really nice. Also, their Cucumber Mint Lime Juice is pretty good too. I've been so hooked on Cava that I even got their app. It makes it so easy to order and pick it up :) Theee best.
