    Coastal Trio tacos-Cod, mahimahi, shrimp.
    Jon M.

    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.

    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.

    Hula Hula Carnitas bowl
    Mark M.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

It absolutely lived up to the hype! The surprise standout? The brisket tostada--sooooo flavorful and satisfying on every level! We also loved the sausage link, Mexi-Q twinkies (aka smoked jalapeños stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, then wrapped in bacon ), and honestly, everything we tried was a hit. For sides, we ordered Grandma's Calabacitas (a yummy squash veggie mix), roasted cream elote, and Julio's mac n' cheese (which I skipped, but the guys were big fans). We wrapped up this phenomenal meal with their GF banana pudding (they offer both GF and regular options), and it was seriously scrumptious--such a treat to have a gluten-free dessert that feels just as special! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive. They double-checked that everything we ordered (minus the mac n' cheese) was gluten-free, which is always such a relief.
