My 800th All-time Yelp Review!!! 6/5/26 Rubio's Coastal Grill LA Verne, CA... Met up here with a couple good friends and I had some good eats. I ordered a $4.99 Fish slider and a $7 Two tacos & drink combo. My tacos were shrimp and chicken. Ordered on the kiosk. My friends had a shrimp burrito & chips and a chicken bowl. Thanks to them for being part of this milestone review!!! Food tasted really good! All the workers here were really nice. Jill brought out our food to the table instead of us having to go get it, many kudos to her! We got table # 59. Restaurant was clean! Restroom was also clean. Parking is shared with other businesses in area, but is plenty. Check this place out if you're in the area!

Fish & Chips (2 pc) Mexican Street Corn - Large Side

I haven't ordered from here in years! But the fish specials have been tempting and today I gave in lol. I'm surprised just how good this dinner is! The tartar sauce has a bit of a kick and I added green chile for more. The fries are good but overly salty and I couldn't finish them. I ordered on the app and my order was ready when I arrived. It was busy tonight and limited seats. Sign up for deals. Great dinner for under $20! Cons: coleslaw taste like mayonnaise. No flavor Fries to salty Not enough fish! Pros: Taste great Great value

Saw an Adds for fish n chips for this place so we went to try it. They have others seafood selection of grilled and fried seafood here. Have tried the fish taco and it was good. Make sure to eat it there since it will lose the crunchiness. The fish n chip was good and a bit salty. It came with 2 small pieces of fried fish and a boy 20-25 pieces of fries. The portion is a bit small but it was good to try it. They have a good salsas bar. Different hot sauce to try with the fish or seafood tacos. Their indoor and outdoor seating areas are very pleasant. Walk up the counter to order and they will bring the food out to your table.

Stopped by on Saturday, 11/04/23 for the first time. The last time I had Rubios was when I was an undergraduate student at UCLA, and there's a Rubios on campus. This is my first time in this particular location - I ordered the following to-go: - 1 Taco Salad with Shrimp = $12.49 - 1 Street Corn Bowl with Carnitas = $12.49 - 1 Cilantro/Lime Quinoa Bowl with Salmon = $13.99 SUBTOTAL = $38.97 10.25% SALES TAX = $3.99 OVERALL TOTAL = $42.96 Wait time should be improved - I probably waited around 15-20 minutes. There is also an outdoor patio where you can eat outside and enjoy the breeze. Salsas were also yummy and you can grab/pack as many as you want. Overall, I feel like the portions were really small and not worth the price. It is best to go to Chipotle or El Pollo Loco. I was still hungry after eating my taco salad.

Rubio's in Laverne, California. I ordered two fish tacos, beans and chips.

I ordered food tonight paid $$14.67. I ordered it to go. And when I got home this is what I saw. Couldn't believe it. So disappointed in that place. I almost went back, but I was 25 minutes away from there. I would've got my money back if I would've went back. I'll never eat there again. It took at least 20 minutes for me to get my food for it to look like this.

Mexican street corn bowl with salmon
Corey B.

The service is slow usually here. The workers are always nice but it just takes a long time to get your food. The food doesn't disappoint though if you've got the time to wait! I always enjoy my meals, especially the street corn bowl with salmon. That's been my go to for awhile and I eat every last bite every time. The real reason for the 3 star is the cleanliness of the restaurant. Almost all of the tables had some sort of rice or leftover food hanging around. When I have to clean my own table when I sit down, that's a big bummer.

Took them 1 hour to realize they gave my order to someone else. Food was trash, and other people were waiting a looong time for their food.

Which 48 Rubio's have they closed in So Cal just prior to them filing for bankruptcy? That's what happens when idiots raise the minimum wage to $20.00 per hour...

24 Rubio’s in the LA area, 13 in San Diego and 11 in Nor Cal. I know they closed our Santa Clarita Rubio's, which I will miss. Here's a list I found: Adelanto, Anaheim…

I'm not usually a Mexican food kind of person, so this was a pleasant surprise. The cheese was flavorful, and the ground beef and beans added so much to every bite too! And of course, you can never go wrong with sour cream haha. I wasn't planning on taking leftovers this time, so one of the servers recommended I get the small instead of the large, and I'm glad I listened! Even the "small" was still super loaded and filling. I was struggling to finish it by the end haha. All in all, I would definitely come back again and reorder the Nachos lol. One of our friends got the La Paloma Wings, and they looked so appetizing that I'm already thinking about trying those next time! The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful with all my questions, which made the experience that much more enjoyable!!

We ordered drinks get which we were slightly disappointed with but mixed drinks they are always a hit and miss at any place. We ordered our food. Never received it. We kept advising the waitress that we haven't done our food and also let her know that there were two tables were sat after us paid, are and left and we still didn't get anything. Then we were told there was no asada or no Carnitas. Which is fine because that's not what we ordered in any of our meals. The ambience was filled with other disgruntled customers and one guy actually advised us he was about walk out since he never saw anybody. So I can't comment on the food because we never got it. The service was horrible. When we got our bill, they charge us for extra drinks which we never received which I had them correct. We live up the street from them and trust me. We will never ever go back. I am a resident of Claremont over 21 years. I had tried them twice and both times were not that great. We were hoping they had improved, but sadly dissatisfied. Our little girl was really starting to get bothered because she was hungry and it took forever. I highly recommend any other place besides this place

We absolutely love this place and decided to come for our anniversary. I'll preface this by saying…read morethe food taste was amazing, like always. But some shady charges or maybe we'll call it miscommunication just rubbed me the wrong way. I always order the mole chicken enchiladas and my wife (being vegetarian) asks for the same dish but if the enchiladas can be vegetable or cheese. Apparently this means a 8$ up charge? We've done this many times in the past and always been charged the same price for both. I asked the server at the end "the veggie version is 8$ more expensive than chicken?" And he just shrugged and said yes. Just found it interesting that a meat dish would be 8$ less than a purely cheese/veggie dish. Especially since done this in the past with no issue. I also asked for "hot sauce" for my dish. They brought out a spicier house salsa as the hot sauce...totally understandable and the salsa here is usually free. Apparently it's a 4$ "chipotle sauce" that the waiter did not inform me would be charged. I would've easily just said I want tapatio or no "hot sauce". I used maybe a teaspoon for 4$. I told the waiter this when we questioned the bill and he just shrugged. These may seem like small inconveniences but when they seem like they intentionally don't tell you the details and then when called out about it just kinda shrug it off, it was a disappointing end to an otherwise tasty dinner. We love it here and will certainly be back but it just sucks that I have to be extra cautious & skeptical when ordering from now on.

Nevertheless, the cashier was super friendly and even brought my food and drink out to my table. I was delighted to discover just how generous the meat portions were in the chicken, carnitas, al pastor, and buche tacos! The meat was practically overflowing at times, which I definitely appreciated since sometimes it can feel like you're eating more tortilla than filling haha. In the moment, I only managed to eat 2 of my 4 tacos and ended up saving the other 2 for later. Still just as good! As for the Cucumber Lime Agua Fresca, I loved how huge the cup was, and it was indeed super refreshing. Perfect for a hot day!! Overall, I enjoyed how spacious the restaurant was inside. If I ever came back with a group, there would definitely be plenty of seating available.

My biggest problem with this place is they are way too slow. You can come late in the afternoon after the lunch rush-hour and they are still way slow with only just two or three tables with people. Seriously too slow. No excuse for this other than management is NOT on top of their game. They need to step it up or they or they are going to lose business. You can't operate like this let alone in a downtown environment.

Great food, atmosphere, and staff. Sad potato tacos. My family and I have eaten here quite a few…read moretimes, both in restaurant and ordering out. Despite my harsh critique below, I like this place and will continue to visit. That said, here goes the part that cost a star. I really like crispy potato tacos. Solid shell on the outside, delicious seasoned potatoes and cheese on the inside. I have ordered these a few times this year. Admittedly each time, I ordered out. What I received was soggy, lifeless, half-mooned shaped globs of depression. Today was my last time. I remembered the challenges with these in the past and hoped for the best. I popped the container in the car after picking them up right on time. Same thing. Three observations: 1. The tacos are routinely served with wet ingredients on top. The juices permeate the shell quickly causing it to go soggy. The toppings would be great on the side. Unfortunately, the ordering app I used doesn't have a comment box to request it this way. I did try to move them off when I received it, but it was too late. 2. The potatoes are "gummy" or stodgy according to our friends from the UK. This happens when the potatoes have been cooked too long and results in an undesirable texture. Fluffy and creamy is the goal. 3. More salt, other seasonings, and other ingredients needed. You're getting potatoes boiled and mashed with a whisper of butter and sour cream in there. That's all. Salt brings out the natural flavor. Additional seasonings such smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic as fresh cilantro elevate the flavor. Also, cheese is a must in my book. I tried administering emergency air frying to revive my corn and potato mash when I got home, but alas my efforts were in vain. Again, I really like this place. That said, I'm going with the cheese enchiladas next time.
