    California BowlCalifornia
    Aryanna K.

    Honestly upon walking in we were greeted by the nicest guy Glenwood. He was super kind and made sure to take my avocado allergy seriously, by making sure everything was on the side. Even with us coming in an hour before closing he was super nice! He brought all the food to our table and asked if he needed anything and this is not a "dine in" restaurant so he totally didn't have to do that. The California bowl and tortilla soup had very little chicken so we asked if it was the usual portion and he said no, and very quickly apologized and grabbed extra chicken which was so nice!! The food was flavored to literal perfection! It was super fresh and flavorful! We are so so excited to come back. It taste just like our favorite Rubios in California.

    On my 2nd visit I had the new Al Pastor shrimp bowl which was amazing and the fresh guac is the best around. Service by Manager Aiden was A+ again and the condiment bar was full stocked with my favorite sauces.

    I got a coupon for the new carnita and thought I would give it a try. Used the online / app to order my meal. Pretty seamless ordering on the app and it offered an option for curbside pickup. Went to pick up my order and thought it will be nice not having to get out of my car. Guess what, they say they have curbside pickup but they really don't. The carnita bowl was very good.

    Not here on Taco Tuesday and it was fairly empty. Which is good! I hate waiting! Especially for food. Whoever said patience is a virtue probably wasn't hungry at that time. The young ladies who worked tonight were delightful. Greeted and thanked multiple times and even asked how my day was going. They stayed busy with their duties even though there no customers ordering. You don't see this kind of engagement a lot from the kids these days so I was impressed. Ordered the California burrito for a change. It was fresh but a little on the skimpy side. Good thing it comes with a side of chips otherwise I'd have to order 2 just to get filled up. Gotta love the fresh salsa bar though. Wouldn't mind if this salsa bar was at a wedding reception along with the chips and bean dip. Lol This place is nice and clean and gave good service. For that I rated 4 stars

    There's just a smudged of salmon.  See all the tortilla?
    D V.

    Seriously this was the last time ever going to this location. They're awful and they get our order wrong almost all the time. Ordered a Wild Salmon Burrito. A flauta has a lot more filling than this burrito. The amount I got was equivalent to 1/4 or 1/5 of the normal burrito and I've gotten this before at other locations, so I'm comparing to those locations. Basically I got a little more than the tortilla, which that was basically what this burrito was - a tortilla with 10 kernels of corn and maybe 1/2 oz of salmon. I also ordered a side of street corn but got nothing. Tried calling that Rubio's back but their phone system for 4 hrs said they were busy. I doubt that. The point of ordering takeout was I didn't want to cook. But I ended up doing that. The time before, which was 3 weeks prior, I ordered a salmon burrito but got a shrimp burrito. Maybe don't order the salmon burrito because they just can't make it. Now I have to go back in tomorrow to deal with this because I'm not paying $11 for basically a tortilla, 10 kernels corn, a few flakes of salmon and a teaspoon of guac. Rubio's used to do a good job, but it seems this location usually gets something wrong with our order. Not worth the stress and hassle.

    Burnt chicken

    Extremely disappointed with my recent online order from Rubio's. I ordered a chicken chopped salad, and as you can see from the photo, all the chicken pieces were burned. It was inedible and ruined the entire meal.

    Men's bathroom
    Stu C.

    Food is pretty good. Love their salmon burito and citrus jalapeno sauce. Chips were old. Now their men's bathroom is disgusting! See pictures. That looks like mold and needs to be replaced. Not sure if it's a health violation but who knows. The owner should be embarrassed.

    New Baja Bowl
    Brad W.

    This meal, the new Baja Bowl made its debut. There are a few choices and ways to customize, but mostly it's a choice between lettuce and rice flavor or both for your bowl bottom layer. In general , all the ingredients are the same as usual, just another way to arrange things. With a drink, this meal will run close to $12, so drink water and keep it under $10. I chose chicken and everything was fresh and the flavors melded together nicely.

    The Original Fish Taco* (I couldn't find the footnote belonging to the asterisk) ‍

    Original Fish Taco Plate, Fri., 10/21 Extremely disappointing and actually inedible. Disappointing in part, because all previous experience with this store over many years and including the most recent Taco Tuesday, has been consistently good. That said, I don't believe this food should have been served. The fish appears to have been battered and (refried) multiple times. It did not have the flavor or texture or appearance of fresh. Image shows what it all looked liked from the inside out. Limes were not packed in as they typically are. The salsas I selected were not packed in*. The black beans I opted for did not have the usual cheese garnish. I will be requesting a replacement of this order. *that may be my failure to pack them as I usually would for a take out order there...

    Steak burrito and a side of chips.

Then I decided, let me browse seafood on maps and I seen this place, the menu had broil in the bags similar to the other two restaurants and since neither one of us had been here we decided to try it. Long story short now onto the real review of the place, parking is big, when I got to the place it didn't look like many cars. Which made me hope this place didn't disappoint; plus side was plenty of parking and no wait to sit. I got my booth while I waited for my friend I loved the interior it looked real clean and the decor was nice, the vibes were more calming and chill than rowdy(if you've been to angry crab or la crab shack you'll know what I mean). They have a huge bar with stools to sit at and booths. Now to the food, they had a broad menu seafood broil (the only reason I go to these places) and Asian like, such as sushi and other things to be honest I didn't pay attention, because I went for the seafood broil only and it's easy to order. I got head on shrimp, with house Cajun sauce, spicy, and added potatoes and sausage. It was so good!! If you like spicy it's perfect! It does have a kick, but good. When I got my bag the food was steaming I would take off a point on the sausage(don't get me wrong it was good! But when biting I would have to pull in order to break off I feel like it was the skin of the sausage being annoying) and they were thinly cut, but not worth taking a star off. The staff was friendly, I would return and I can't wait to bring my husband, let me add that the prices are great, they seemed cheaper than the other two places I mentioned above.

Seriously?! So you KNOW the cook isn't ready, serve customers bad food anyway, and still charge full price? No replacement, no discount, no attempt whatsoever to make it right. They simply did not care. Cute pond. Terrible food. Even worse customer service. Save your money and go somewhere else.
