Tried Rubio's fish and chips with coleslaw. The fish was cooked very well. It was browned properly and not greasy at. It was tender and juicy. The fries were quite tasty and I really like the coating on them. I was not a fan of the coleslaw. They have a nice salsa bar with different levels of spice. It was very fresh snd tasted good. So if you're looking for a quick meal this is a decent option. read more

I love California Fish Grill and was looking for a place closer to me and found this place so I thought I'd give it a try and compare as well. We tried their fish and chips which comes with 2 pieces of fish with fries and coleslaw. The fish pieces were very small but surprisingly very good. The batter was light, crispy and well flavored. Fish and chips can be greasy but I was so impressed how they were completely free of any oily heaviness. The coleslaw was very meh and needed a lot more flavor. The shrimp trio tacos were a huge miss. I tried three different types of tortillas and shrimp to compare but all three tacos were just horrible. The flavors were so off putting and clashed rather than complement each other. The shrimp was very were small and they were the worst shrimp tacos I've ever had. The restaurant is very clean and spacious and they do have a very nice salsa bar. I would probably only go back for the fish and chips. read more

I love Rubio's shrimp tacos--they're honestly the best. I decided to stop in and try their new double protein bowl with shrimp, of course. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous double portion of shrimp. The flavor profile was on point, and everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. Side note: I did ask for extra sauce because I'm a sauce girl through and through, and it really made the bowl even better. The only downside to this location is that there is an older gentleman, possibly a manager or owner, who works there. He tends to look at customers in a way that feels a bit uncomfortable, almost as if you're being watched closely or suspected of something. He isn't very approachable, and the overall vibe he gives off is not very friendly. When I asked a team member about it, I was simply told he is "not a friendly person," which kind of confirmed the experience. Overall, the food was great, but the atmosphere at this location could be improved due to that interaction. read more

Yes. They have returned to their original goodness. We removed them from our go to list a while back when quality ebbed. We just went for lunch and I have absolutely no negatives The place was spotless. The counter person was fun and attentive. The food was delicious with everything hot and fresh.i They are trying out a new fish and chips. Any wait read more

Excellent service Excellent food. Clean. Everything is good here. Good parking. I've been eating at Rubios since the original one opened in Pacific Beach. Always my favorite. read more

I've actually always been a fan of Rubio's when I lived in California. I enjoy their fish and shrimp tacos. I love how convenient and clean this location is. I'm sure it gets busy on weekends as it's right next to the movie theaters. Salsa bar is throughly packed with all the salsas and extra goodies for your tacos. Service is efficient, fast and friendly here. I've also Doordashed from them often and have never had an issue with my orders. read more

I picked up dinner for one from this Rubio's Coastal Grill one Friday evening. I saw ad for the new (at the time) Guajillo Lime Shrimp bowl and thought it looked appetizing. I went on their website and ordered ahead. Ordering online was a breeze. After about 15 minutes, I decided to come in. I was greeted as soon as I entered. The dining room was bright and offered ample seating. I let the friendly staff know I was picking up an order and gave them my name. The food was ready and waiting for me. The bowl came with sustainably sourced shrimp marinated in a guajillo lime seasoning atop citrus rice, black beans and romaine lettuce with guacamole, salsa fresca, chipotle white sauce, seasoned corn tortilla strips and a Salsa Guajillo. I was impressed by the generous portion and amount of shrimp. The dish was fresh, flavorful, and filling! It was also pretty affordable at ~$15. Unfortunately, the Guajillo Lime Shrimp bowl is no longer available as it was a limited time special. I hope they bring it back again, but I am looking forward to trying other items on the menu! read more

Patricia was very nice, it was really busy and she made time and took good care of us, she even stayed over her shift to keep everyone happy. She came out and cleaned the tables and floor and taking care of the orders as well. She did it with a smile, I wish for her the best. read more

All food is really good and also the manager really nice order online and is always on time love eating at this location

Normally, I love Rubios!! Not today! No air conditioning and it's 113 degrees outside. We love their fish tacos typically. The employees were so, so hot trying to work over the food. (Not sanitary) There is no way anyone could sit inside and comfortably eat. Miserable. read more

Rubio's coastal trio is pretty good! I can get full on two tacos. I like either the shrimp taco or the original taco the best. The shrimp taco can be a little messy with all the juice and the sauce, but I like it a lot. The original taco has some sauce that I think can also be found at the salsa bar. At the salsa bar they have limes and jalapeños and carrots. They have four salsas. I like the green salsa the best followed by the mild salsa. They also have a spicy salsa that might be the mild salsa mixed with either Tabasco or some other hot sauce. The last salsa is a roasted chipotle. I might want to order either two shrimp tacos or two original tacos or one of each next time. The cabbage is fresh and I like the crunch of the original taco. I also like the chips or the tacos with lots of sauce. The service to order was a little slow and it took a little while to get our food. It seemed like they were a little busy. read more

This location is a disgrace, and the behavior I experienced here was flat-out unacceptable. The general manager a Hispanic male carries himself like someone who has no business being in a leadership role. His attitude toward me, a Black woman, was openly hostile. The moment I walked in, it was obvious he had a problem with my presence. His energy was confrontational, uncomfortable, and downright unprofessional. And unfortunately, his staff follows his lead, adopting the same pack-mentality behavior whenever they think they can get away with mistreating Black customers. I came in for a remake of a meal I paid over $30 for. The first burrito had RAW shrimp and looked like it was thrown together by someone who simply didn't care. And that's been a pattern with this place anything discounted or remade is treated like trash. It feels intentional at this point. Instead of fixing the issue and moving on, the manager decided to interrogate me. He demanded explanations, raised his voice, and acted offended that I dared expect the food I paid for to be cooked properly. While I waited, he hovered, made inappropriate comments, and seemed to be looking for a reaction. It was almost like he wanted an excuse to escalate or call the police. That's how aggressively he behaved. This is not a manager this is a man who cannot regulate his emotions, cannot maintain professionalism, and absolutely cannot be trusted to run an establishment that serves the public. His behavior was mean-spirited, antagonistic, and unnecessary. This location is chaotic, petty, and hostile especially toward Black patrons. Save yourself the stress and go somewhere that actually respects customers. read more

I've eaten here several times in the last few weeks and it's been delicious so we've been coming in each week and it's hitting the spot each time. Their fish tacos are so good and so are the steak tacos. The service has been good too and the store is clean so I like coming to this location moreso than others in the area. read more

I opened my nachos and there was not any cheese there was just plain chips and chicken

I say taste good with taco bout some food for many different somethings I love taco Mexican food with drinks

Messed up the same order twice . Told her I was not driving back to have it remade again . I wanted a refund . She got really rude said they couldn't do that and that I could come back another day to have it remade again. Ummm no I don't plan on visiting this place again . read more

Food was good but I have had better Rubios. I feel like the fish and shrimp was really fresh. I was underwhelmed with the beans. The beans were flavorless. The chips were very crisp. All salsa was good. Especially loved the fiery salsa. All in all, happy with my meal. Very feeling but cost was pricey $15 bucks with tip and no drink or dessert. Probably will go to my love taco joint for half the price. read more

A friend recommended this place for their fish tacos. We went to a different location and found that it was closed. We looked for another Rubio's in the area and came across this location. It was worth the trip. Their fish tacos were great! The fish was well cooked and the fillings were fresh. They have special discounted pricing on Tuesdays. read more

Came here for late lunch. Wasn't busy at all. Service was great and the food was as well. I don't got to Rubio's often but the beer battered fish in the burrito was fresh and really good! Overall, the inside was very clean and organized. Would definitely come back here again. read more

I love this place, but guys, your tables are disgusting. They all have this smegma where most people rest their forearms on the table and it's gross. You stick to the tables and there doesn't seem to be any amount of wipe downs that are able to clean them. The food is still great and so is the service but please guys, a little capital investment here in your furniture. read more

Rubio's has been my go to place when I run out of options or want something filling and quick. This location is easy access and clean. The service is quick and they are friendly. My favorites are definitely the california bowl and the tacos. I love that they add avocado without paying extra for it unlike Chipotle. These dishes are my rescuers in time of crisis of not finding a restaurant. Also love all the extra sauces they provide which can be paired with these dishes. On the whole a very good place with reasonable cost and a quick healthy lunch. read more

Shrimp tacos are delicious. Patience is needed when there are new hires at the counter. But how do they learn if we don't have patience with them. Loved the manager or owner showed the new hire to clean the chairs in great detail. Clean establishment. read more

Im not really reviewing this for the food because it's a rubio's you should expect what u get. but this place is clean and the salsa is stocked so that's nice. i'm saying 5 stars bc the person working cashier made me excited to eat rubio's with his service alone. thanks man (idk his name but he was working friday at 1) read more

If your gonna hire a new cashier, please train her before the line backs up to the door. Plus, she is the only cashier because the other cashier is busy helping her out. I see a line of 7 people and an empty restaurant and I'm bolting out and that is what happened. read more

What happened, Rubio's? You used to be one of my go to places for fish tacos and tasty salsa. But I stopped by yesterday and I didn't finish my fish taco. It was dry, overly breaded, and bland. My wife had a bean and cheese burrito that was 8.50 plus taxes--what? And it was also not tasty. So upon entering we were not only not greeted, we were ignored and treated with near contempt, as if we were interrupting things. I think Rubio's began to go downhill quite a while ago when they went from plastic utensils to metal. Portion size decreased while they "upped" their game to plates and real utensils--why?? Anyway, our table was sticky, food was bland and over-priced (even for this economy), and overall not a good experience. Both my wife and I mentioned thinking the same thing, independent of each other: this is our last time at Rubio's--it was a nice run but it's over now. read more

It feels odd to give 5 stars to a Rubio's but honestly this place was a hit. Chains typically have a standard quality you can expect with an occasional miss, but somehow this place was awesome. Highly recommend. read more

Food was just ok. Service just ok. Food portion and cost I felt was cheated on. I was still hungry after having one of their bowls. My husband's tacos were eh. I wouldn't oppose eating from here again I just don't think I would seek out for this place. read more

I'll begin by saying I love the food at Rubios but the service I received at this particular location wasn't the best. Brooklin was my cashier and she made faces when I asked for a side of 1/2rice 1/2 beans for my toddler who is a picky eater (mind you he could not finish even the small side).The manager Cory came and just said 'no' very rudely without looking at us or any explanation. I understand somethings are hard to adjust but being a little bit nicer would have made the world of a difference. I will not be coming to this location. read more

DoorDash messed up my order but Andrew went above and beyond to make it right. Appreciate all his efforts!

I find it somewhat remarkable that in all these years I've never been to a Rubio's before. No. Really. I haven't. So my GF got the traditional fish tacos, and I had the shrimp tacos Sharing of course. First, the tacos were delicious. I had a hard time deciding which I liked better (fish). It was close. The negative? The manager, who took out order, well he was okay, not rude or anything. But it sure seemed like he didn't want to be there. I mean it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, so I get it. But if you're the manager you need to set a mood for your staff. read more

It's just 2 of us at home now, so we're usually having take-out from local eateries more nights than not. Of the 12 online orders I've placed at RCG so far this year (6 mos down and 6 to go), I'd say they're running at about a 30% order accuracy rate - - - maybe (*maybe*) 3 or 4 of my online orders have been correct. They're (literally) worse than the McDs drive up window. It's really not so hard to get the order right. The online order ticket that prints out in your restaurant couldn't possibly be any more clear. Every single item and item quantity is listed on the ticket. There are precisely zero reasons that bag should be on the pickup shelf if everything on the list isn't in the bag. Sigh. read more

First time at this location and it was clean, they were friendly, quick, and the food tasted great!

I hope upper management sees this and truly does something about it. Iv been going to Rubios for many years. California rubios is amazing. This is the second time I go to this location and I have to say the manager Alvaro (possibly misspelled) has the absolute worst customer service. Was rude to my wife once and was rude to me to where he was arguing with me. Iv never felt so humiliated as people were staring at us. Iv managed restaurant's in my 20s and we hit goals and milestones. I can't imagine somebody would hire such a person to run a store. I'm truly baffled by how rude and disrespectful this guy was. Telling me I ordered my food wrong, and his staff didn't make any mistakes. Iv ordered the same meal for years. Never had an issue till now and he wants to tell me I'm wrong? So I guess with him customer is always wrong and he's always right. Since I live her I will never eat at rubios again despite how much I love their food until they get new management. And we order catering at my job too because I suggest it. We won't be doing that anymore either. Café rio is now my go to. How sad. read more

If you want to place a phone order for pick-up, DON'T come to this location. You might as well just order in-store. Placed a phone order at 6:40 (on 11/13) and picked it up at around 7:05 ish. I paid for my order and waited for about 25 mins. I notice that a couple of employees are just standing around talking and serving other customers who were behind me in line when I paid. So I went up to the counter and told one of the employees that I called an hour ago to place an order and I'm still waiting for it. Come to find out it was just sitting on the counter.. The employee said that they thought I haven't came in to pick up my order yet. Terrible communication between the employees. Who knows when my order was actually ready. Seemed to me like it wasn't ready when I paid because I still had to wait. There was absolutely no point in calling ahead to order. Very disappointed. Definitely won't be coming back to this location. read more

Decided to order online for pick up. It was very convenient process. Except I was missing 5 more tacos! I ordered 11 fish tacos (9 regular and 2 plain) when I got to my destination found out 5 tacos were not in the bag. Should have checked before I left the store.. oh well. read more

I've been to all the Rubio's in the East Valley and this one by far is my fave! The quality of their food is great (even on a busy Taco Tuesday) and their customer service is awesome. Definitely will be returning to this location! read more

This is a good place to go for lunch and don't feel like a burger or sandwich or don't feel like cooking dinner. The fish tacos here are a safe go-to. There is a good selection of salsas to dip your chips in as well. Service here tends to be hit or miss. Sometimes I get my order right away and sometimes it can be slow, especially in the evenings. Last time I had the coastal trio in which I found my new favorite thing on the menu, the shrimp tacos. The iced tea is also good here which is a nice compliment to the fish tacos. Also, taco Tuesdays here are awesome. read more
