Shrimp tacos and sides
Nancy N.

We ordered from Rubio's Coastal Grill -home of the original fish taco for Fish Friday on Good Friday and had a good experience. Ordering online was super easy, and the website made it simple to customize everything just how we wanted. I had the Mexican Street Corn Shrimp Tacos, which came with two sides. There were plenty of options to choose from--I went with Mexican rice and Mexican corn. My husband ordered the blackened Mahi-Mahi burrito. We also added chips and salsa, and they offer several different salsa varieties, which was a nice touch. Everything in our order was exactly right when we picked it up. Both meals were really tasty, and the portions were just the right size--not too much, but definitely satisfying. We'll definitely be ordering again!

Rubio's has been my go-to lately for a quick, healthy-ish dinner! This location is the closest to me and is conveniently located in the Gilbert Gateway Towne Center. There's plenty of parking, but it's shared by multiple businesses, so it might not be readily accessible during peak times. My first visit at this location was a Friday evening so they were naturally very busy. Most of the tables were occupied and the wait was longer than usual. We didn't mind. Most of the bowls change seasonally. At the time of my visit, I ordered one of their shrimp bowls. It had corn, beans, rice, avocado or guac, and other ingredients. My husband ordered a shrimp burrito. Our order was ready in maybe 25-20 minutes. Excited, we started eating it in the car before even leaving our parking spot. It was delicious and filling. At one of my recent visits, I ordered the Mexican street corn bowl which is still available right now. It comes with choice of grilled chicken, steak, or seafood atop citrus rice and lettuce blend, guacamole, roasted corn blend, black beans, cilantro/onion blend, cotija cheese, chipotle lime crema, salsa verde, and tajin®. I opted for shrimp for my protein. Once again, it was flavorful and filling. I enjoyed it so much I ordered it again two weeks later!

I recently visited Rubio's for a casual dinner, and overall, it was a solid experience that I'd rate 4 stars. The service was friendly and attentive--our server was quick to take our order and checked in just the right amount without being intrusive. The atmosphere had that laid-back coastal vibe with clean seating and a relaxed crowd, making it a nice spot to unwind. The only minor hiccup was that the food took a bit longer than expected to arrive, maybe about 10-15 minutes extra during a moderate rush. But once it came, the fish tacos and shrimp burrito were fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot with their signature Baja-style seasoning. Prices are reasonable too. I'd definitely go back for a quick bite!

Disappointing tortilla chips. The picture doesn't show how many tiny little pieces of chips there were on the plate.
Mark M.

We went to Rubio's coastal grill last night for dinner. Typically one of the best fish tacos you will ever find. I will say it was packed inside. They were extremely busy. I was okay with waiting because the people working at the front counter were extremely nice and you could tell they were swamped. There did seem to be a very long gap in time between orders coming out though. When we finally did get our fish tacos I was disappointed. They weren't hot. The fish was almost room temperature. I can't understand why the food wouldn't be hot after waiting so long to get it. The tortilla chips were a disappointment too. Way too many crumbs. Have some pride and some quality control before you send food out to customers. Those chips were not acceptable at all. The fish wasn't warm. This shouldn't be so difficult.

Black burned Mahi Mahi taco. I think they tried to hide it being burned by pouring excessive sauce on it.
Ruben V.

I've read that Rubios has been struggling financially. They emailed me a $5 off coupon so I went. I got the Coastal Trio: Original Fish Taco * Salsa Verde Shrimp Taco * Mahi Mahi Taco. The Mahi Mahi taco fish looked like it was burned. It was. I rarely send food back so I forced myself to eat it. Part of the reason I didn't hassle returning it was because when I arrived there was no one at the register. He had gone to the bathroom and no one else could help me. The Salsa Verde Shrimp taco was nothing special. The original fish taco was fine. In all my times at Rubios, this was the worst.

Onions I requested NOT to be put on my tacos
Randi C.

This was my second, and last, visit to this Rubio's location. The first time ordering went smoothly, but the restaurant itself was a bit grimy overall. This time, it took a while to order, and then we sat down to wait for our food. We ordered about 6:20. I had to be someplace close by at 7. When we sat down, I noticed the tables and the floors were sticky. I tried to wipe the table and it was a dark, sticky dirt that came off, like the table hadn't been really cleaned in weeks. The people at the table next to us informed us that they had been waiting for 25 minutes already. By 6:55 we still did not have our food so I had to leave without eating. The food came out about five minutes after I left. My husband ate his burrito and boxed my tacos and brought them home for me. We love Rubio's, but due to poor management and the level of uncleanliness, we will not go to that location again. Oh, and the picture is of the onions I asked them not to put on my tacos.

Jon M.

I have really liked all the Rubios I've been to and this one was also excellent. The fish tacos were the best I've had in years. The salsas were especially fresh, thick and tasty as well as the guac-thick, fresh and creamy. Service by Manager Jacob and staff was fast and professional.

This is a very neat little eatery in a large shopping center…read more They serve really vibrant greek food in good-sized portions. Lots to offer on their menu. We ordered two gyros & fries. All was cooked fresh to order. Our meals were hot & delicious. The service at the order counter is very friendly - lots of smiles! They have tables for eating in, takeaway boxes for eating at home. Their prices are very competitive. We've eaten here a few times already and will certainly return.

This location has been on my radar since I was waitlisted for a Yelp events here. Many fellow…read moreYelpers raved about this place, and I knew I had to try it when I was in the mood for Mediterranean and in the area (~15 miles from my house). When you enter the Gilbert Gateway Towne Center, you have to maneuver through tricky shared parking to find a space. We dined half past 6pm on Memorial Day, so thankfully parking was easier as I believe some businesses were closed for the holiday. Though parking is tight, there is no shortage of seating in this establishment. Some bench-style seating as well as chairs to accommodate whichever you prefer. What We Ordered: ~ The Great Greek Gyro (no onions) x2: My boyfriend remarked that the gyro meat tastes like it was reheated, which I also noticed it slightly tougher than a more authentic one I've had previously. Still a very solid gyro given this is a chain and fast service place with a generous portion. ~ Sides with our meals: French fries and lemon potatoes Personally, the lemon potatoes are a pass next time as very buttery and heavy. The French fries however, were fantastic! They appear to be twice fried to have an extra crunchiness. Overall, if I'm in the area and in the mood for Mediterranean, then I'd pop in to The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill. P.s. Don't forget to add your number for rewards via Toast!

There are honestly nothing but amazing things to say about Flower Child. After finally checking it…read moreout for the first time a few months ago, it instantly jumped to the top of my list for go-to spots. It's rare to find a kitchen that is completely focused on health-conscious food while delivering absolutely incredible, bold flavors, but they nail it every time. Favorite dishes: The food here completely changes the game when it comes to clean eating: The Sweet Potato Fries: A total masterpiece. They aren't even deep-fried, yet they have this perfect texture and rich flavor that fools you into thinking they are. They come served with a yummy, fresh homemade ranch dressing that pairs perfectly. It honestly blows my mind how good these are. The Mother Earth Bowl: This dish is proof that healthy food doesn't have to be boring. It makes prioritizing your veggies and clean protein completely effortless, with zero feeling of sacrifice. All the distinct flavors come together so perfectly that I fall in love with it all over again every single time I order it. The Broccoli Pesto: Such a clever and creative twist on a classic. It was so delicious that I actually figured out how to recreate it at home, and now the whole family is obsessed with it. The Elite Group Dining Experience One of the best things about this menu is how satisfying it is for a crowd. No matter what anyone in our party orders, everyone leaves completely full and satisfied. In fact, the portions are so generous that you should definitely plan on having leftovers--there is easily enough for two full meals. Plus, because the ingredients are so clean, it's the one place where I never feel an ounce of guilt about going out to eat after leaving. Inclusivity and Value: The kitchen is exceptionally accommodating, offering fantastic vegan and gluten-free options that taste like main attractions rather than afterthoughts. On top of that, the pricing is great for the quality you get, and they even offer a highly appreciated military discount. Space, Patio, & Family-Friendly: The vibe inside is beautiful--very open, bright, and airy, with fresh flowers on the tables that add a wonderful touch to the ambience. It is also incredibly kid-friendly; they thoughtfully provide crayons and coloring pages right by the drink station to keep the little ones entertained. Outside of the blazing summer months, we also absolutely love having lunch out on their cute patio. Because it's such a popular spot, though, you definitely want to have a game plan for your visit. The parking lot and tables fill up fast during peak hours. To guarantee a seamless experience, go during off-peak times. For dinner, we love heading in right around 5 PM to beat the rush, which guarantees easy parking and a great seat.

Update as of 10/11/26: I recently discovered that now,…read moreFlower Child has eliminated the Chicken Yakisoba Noodles, which was a second go-favorite. This is yet another disappointment that has now forced me to never want to dine here again. I even deleted the app, too. These two main dishes were the reason why I would go to Flower Child. I hope the owner realizes this mistake but honestly they don't care. People don't care about anything these days, they just make poor decisions while claiming it's beneficial, and for Flower Child, this looks bad on the restaurant when their most popular dishes are eliminated from the menu, while they push the bull**** excuse of periodically changing their menu. And truth be told, the other items offered on their menu are not good and not appealing whatsoever. That said, this was it for me. I came, I enjoyed the two dishes while they were available but now I bow out and leave for good.

All of the employees are cross trained so everyone can do any job in the house. You place your order and are given a "buzzer coaster", you find a table inside or out, the server brings your drink order as they locate your table with the "buzzer." When the food is ready, and it is ready quickly, the order is delivered to your table hot and fresh. The server checks back a couple of times after your food arrives but the attentiveness of the staff is second to none. Last but not least, the food was great. I feel like you can order anything on the menu, unless you don't like a good group or you have allergies and be happy with whatever you ordered. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the space has booths, as well as tables. Outside seating is covered and had high volume misters. The place is modern yet cozy. We have been back twice, once for breakfast, once for lunch and both experiences were great. We have found a new go to spot!

A Hidden Gem You NEED to Try - Don't Let This Place Stay a Secret!…read moreI've been to Sage & Barrel Craft Eatery a few times now, and every visit leaves me wondering why this place isn't packed every single night. We stopped in on a Monday evening and had the whole vibe almost to ourselves--such a shame because this spot is seriously awesome and deserves a full house! The atmosphere is so vibey--warm, inviting, perfectly lit with that perfect mix of casual and upscale that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. It feels special without being stuffy, great for date nights, family dinners, or just unwinding with friends over craft beers (their selection is impressive--40+ local options with plenty on tap). But the real star? The food. Everything is scratch-made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the care in every bite. Deeply flavorful, innovative twists on classics, generous portions, and consistently excellent. Whether you go for the Nashville hot chicken and waffles, fish & chips, burgers, or whatever catches your eye, it's all done right. No frozen junk here--just real, delicious food that keeps you coming back. Queen Creek (and the East Valley) needs more places like this. Support local, support quality, and help keep this gem thriving so it doesn't disappear. We'll definitely be back--next time on a busier night so more people can discover it! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and go. Tell your friends. Mondays (and every night) deserve Sage & Barrel. You won't regret it.

There was no smile, greeting, or sense that we were happy to be there. Our server was very nice personally, but the service was incredibly disorganized. What made it even more frustrating was that she only had two tables, and the restaurant was not busy. My husband's meal never came out, and she did not even notice that he was still waiting for it. While we were waiting for his food, she brought us a drink we had never ordered. She also filled my kids' lemonades with water. The food was just as disappointing. The salmon was extremely dry and hard, and the pasta noodles my kids ordered were hard as well. After waiting and realizing my husband's meal was never coming, we asked for the bill. At that point, our server actually asked if my husband was ready to order... even though he had already ordered and had been waiting for his meal the entire time. Our bill ended up being high, which made the experience even more frustrating because we spent that much money and left feeling like we received essentially nothing worth coming back for. We all left hungry. Mistakes happen, but this was not one small mistake. It was a series of issues with the service, drinks, food, and basic attentiveness, especially considering the restaurant was not busy. For the amount we paid, we expected a completely different experience. Unfortunately, we will not be back.
