It was the first time that I come to this location of Rubio's. The decor was fine - - not as cute and beachy as the old location that we used to love at Mesa Grand. There's plenty of seating which is really good on a Friday during Lent. I like just about everything on the menu at Rubio's. One of my favorite things is to order the chicken chopped salad and the street corn and mix them together. So good. But today was no meat Friday, so I got the battered fish tacos, which are always yummy. My son got the fish and chips, and hubby got the shrimp tacos. I really liked my battered fish tacos, but I did order the grilled fish tacos. As it turns out, he did not charge me for the grilled fish tacos. I did say three or four times I wanted the grilled fish and I was perfectly happy to pay the extra $2, so I was a little sad that he put in the order as the wrong item. The person who brought them out to me said he would be happy to take them back and bring me grilled fish tacos, but I said not to worry about it because my family already had their meals and I was fine with batter fish tacos. In the end it was fine and I was just as happy with what I got. The food is consistent at Rubio's, and there is something for everyone, whether you like fish or chicken or just bean cheese. It's a good choice for a chain. read more

Consistently excellent service and excellent food. This is my favorite Rubios location. I love sitting outside by the lake on a nice day. And I really appreciate the vegan and vegetarian options! read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Burrito Especial- No meat, add pinto beans and remove crema. My favorite combo! - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Recently, I had stopped at another location as I've been craving a good shrimp taco. Unfortunately, it left me still desiring a good one. I recalled Rubio's having good fish tacos when I last at fish/seafood. When I saw they delivered via Ubereats, I knew it was a sign I should hopefully redeem the lackluster ones yesterday. Rubio's didn't disappoint! Love that the salsa bar can be ordered on the Ubereats app, so you don't miss out on your favorite meal accompaniments. I got the coastal trio to try mahi mahi for the first time, and try the shrimp taco for the first time at Rubio's. All three tacos were delightful and would easily get for lunch or dinner again soon. Previously, I have been to this location and always enjoy the decor & vibe of the dining room. The staff is always friendly and gives me beach vibes. Definitely stop in or do what I did tonight, order via Ubereats. read more

$9 for a bean and cheese burrito. $9 ... for beans, cheese, and a tortilla. Never again. Good service tho. Place is clean. But there are no deals at Rubios. read more

The size of the fish they put in their original fish taco reminds me of a little fish stick I used to eat as a kid. Other Rubio's have much bigger portions. read more

We may just a quick stop for lunch here. It was such a nice sunny day out and this was the perfect location to grab a bite to eat. There is a nearby lake. Food came out really quick and Service was friendly as well. Perfect day to enjoy lunch on a Wednesday. read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Outdoor patio - lovely - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We walked in at 8:30 pm on a Saturday night after checking the website to see they were open until 9:00 pm. The closing time on the door also stated they were open until 9:00 pm but the staff were all cleaning up, the restaurant smelled like cleaning products and the staff were not happy to see customers. They were extremely rude when we asked if they were still open. The guy behind the register said we could only do takeout. We walked out and won't go again to this Rubio's location due to poor customer service. read more

The taco trio is really good for the flavor and experience. I also tried the lobster taco. I think they are all unique with their own flavor. Unfortunately the taco trio is quite expensive for dinner. I think they are a bit small but mighty. I heard there are lunch specials where they are cost less. They come with two small containers with rice and beans. The rice is separate from the beans. I think the beans had a smoky flavor. At least to me they tasted different than what I am used to. The rice was okay as well. I will need to try something else next time as a side to see how those go. The lobster taco was delicious and buttery. I don't feel as though the lobster has a distinct flavor. The crispy fish was crispy but needed to be eaten fast before the coating got soft. The salsa verde shrimp taco didn't have much flavor beyond the salsa verde. It also has quite a bit of mayo. The mahi mahi didn't seem to have much flavor for me either. The corn kernels were the most attractive flavor in it. The taco trio consisted of the following: The Original Fish Taco * Salsa Verde Shrimp Taco * Wild-Caught Mahi Mahi Taco read more

I came to this location based on a promo and needing lunch while traveling. Rubio's corporate hasn't responded to my contact forms for the last 2.5 months so I was wary of trying this again. My order wasn't exactly correct here today I asked for pico on the side and it looks like it was included inside the bowl and given on the side. I didn't think there was enough meat to the ratio of other ingredients. The worst was the lid to the bowl doesn't fit. When I went to get my lunch from the bag it had come out of the bowl (guac and tomatoes pictured) and I had to scoop it up back into the bowl. I confirmed the lid was the issue. I understand environmentally friendly bowls but that lid did not stay securely on. I'm highly disappointed in this aspect of the product. This is a huge miss. read more

This was mine and a friend's very first time. 5 of us went for lunch. The food was really good, service was quick, and we got a good laugh that the server got 4 out of 5 names wrong! It was clean and plenty of room to sit and chat. I loved the variety of salsas! read more

Come join us for taco Tuesday at Rubio. Can't go wrong with the original fish taco, delicious. Perfect for large families with budgets. $2.50 per taco. The 3 of us spent a total of less than $20. Service is fast, and the place is clean. Join us next Tuesday read more

I ordered bean and cheese burritos. I was asked if salsa was ok as if being cautioned that they might be spicy and I said ok that would be fine . When i got home I found that there was no salsa only bland beans and cheese not even salt or pepper .I had to add my own salsa to improve the plain unseasoned flavor. I paid $20.00 for these and felt ripped off read more

Great food and service. We would go back! Love the fish, shrimp, guacamole, and all the fresh sauces. Nice place

Tried this place again. Customer service was great but this time the food was bad. My wife's chicken tacos was cold. The battered fish in my tacos were soggy, the cabbage in the taco tasted better. The tortilla chips was stale and beans was watery. Never coming back here again. I'll go to Hungry Howies. read more

This is a really nice Rubio's where I sat in their outside patio with a nice park, lake, duck view. I had a chicken taco recommended by shift leader Ryan which was great. Their classic fish taco was delicious as usual. And the star was the Atlantic blackened salmon burrito which was the best I ever had of that type. Their salsas are amazing too! Service by Ryan was outstanding. Top 5 Rubio's. read more

I always come here for lunch with my bf when we want to get a quick bite to eat. Every now and then they'll have specials which is somehow cheaper than just ordering tacos alone. Once you order, they'll give you a number and deliver right to your table. I always get the fish tacos and they usually fill me up (3 tacos). If you get the combo, the plate comes with chips and beans. If you're not a chips and bean kind of dipper, you can head to the salsa bar where they have plenty of choices. I enjoy the tomato basil salsa! The burritos are huge and full of protein. I will want to try the nachos sometime. The outside patio is nice during the fall and spring. Parking is a bit tight. The plaza has other stores which can get full when its busy. If not, there is more parking in the back. read more

When we get a taste for fish tacos, we head over here. Everything always tastes fresh. I try to sample the seasonal items (and hope they get added to the menu) but always manage to order tacos. I can never remember which are my fave, so it's a surprise every time. Salads are a great option here as well - packed with ingredients of complimentary flavors! If you don't leave here full, you ordered wromg!! read more

I eat at Rubio's fairly often, because I enjoy their food and fast service. They have great menu options and their fish tacos are their specialty (though they do everything else quite well). I usually get grilled salmon and gourmet steak tacos but will get lobster tacos when they're available. I've frequented this location and have generally been met with friendly, customer service. They have inside and outside dining - and online/phone/app ordering. I highly recommend their app, to enjoy their occasional offers. read more

Excellent price to taste ratio. I would give this a five if the ambience was a little better, but you cannot improve on the quality of the food you get in this amazing restaurant. read more

What a lovely experience! I hadn't been to a Rubio's in I-don't-know-how-long, but our friend chose the restaurant and off we went. Placing our order was a breeze. After finding a table, we filled our beverages and, to my surprise, they have a salsa bar. It was very clean and well-stocked. I was in Heaven! I asked for larger cups and was graciously supplied with as many as I wanted (6). I got onions and cilantro, mild, green and chipotle salsas. Oh, and don't forget the lime wedges. I was ready for my meal. They delivered our food to our table. WHAT?!?!?!?! NO ONE does that anymore. It was a wonderful touch making me feel like they appreciated we chose their restaurant for dinner. My fish taco platter was SO good. I added the green salsa, onions and cilantro, and lime juice to EVERYTHING! Dipped my chips in the refried beans and mild salsa. If I had been alone, I would have drank the extra salsa it was so good. This visit has put Rubio's back on our rotation for places to go out for a meal. THANKS! read more

Yesterday I was working from home thankfully and I went and picked up Rubio's I got a California veggie bowl it was fresh delicious and ready for pick up when I got there can't ask for better than that all three bowls that my son ordered on the app or perfect definitely will be back sorry I don't have a picture I ate it yesterday and I ate it all Yum Yum Delicious again today!

Ordered tonight for grad night!! 4pm pick up. My order wasn't ready. She thought I needed it at 4:30. Then I go back inside at 4:30 to get it.... She has my order & another confused.

I drove out of my way to go to Rubios for the 99 cent fish tacos. I've been a loyal Rubios customer going back many years after living in San Diego, CA for 20 years. As I approached the Rubios, at 7:30 pm on Sat 1/25, there were signs up on the front of the entrance door stating no more fish tacos. I am disappointed and baffled that there were no exceptions being made to the special promotion in which I understand that food items do run out, but when I approached the employee to place an order I asked about the fish taco special and if there were any substitutions available in light of the situation, she was very nasty and rude in her remarks and said no that's not how it works. I walked out and will not be returning again. I would have bought other items as well but after the way the employee spoke to me and treated me with no other options to honor the 99 cent special, I won't continue giving my business to Rubios going forward. The disrespect and way I was treated all while due to the shortage of fish tacos, it doesn't make sense that there were no other options for potential customers to have at the 99 cent special promotion. Very disappointing and a waste of time. Don't run a promotion if there's going to be a shortage of the item on promotion. Terrible marketing!! read more

Everyone is always so friendly here and food is always hot. My only complaint is that they don't offer the chicken tortilla soup as a regular menu item. I know it's Phoenix but I could eat that soup all year. How my toddler eats a burrito lol! read more

All around cold shrimp tacos. Acting out call of duty gaming by staff on frontline. Store is a mess but employees have time to horse playing. My trio plate didn't even come with limes thought was a violation during an internal inspection by company. Even the famous fish taco no lime as well. Guess to busy to put on a metal mesh glove than a glove than wash off lime before putting through manual wedge slicing tool. Do your job no wonder you filed for bankruptcy and are trying to rebuild. First tip you get what you pay for pay a good wage will get good employees and good service. Hence, more income real simple if higher ups are not enforcing this fire them. Waste of payroll the way it's being ran might as well not have them.that will save your company. read more

I have been going here for a long time. I like this particular Rubio's because they try harder to make your dining experience personable and better each visit. Over the years I have seen staffing changes. When someone is new, that person will make mistakes. I don't get hang up on that. We were all young men and women once. I also see these young men and women become much better in a short time. The seafood tacos, salads or burritos are good quality. And where else can you get these for the price they offer? I recommend Rubio's for quality and price. I recommend this particular outlet because they try hard to make your visit a pleasant experience. read more

We love the food at Rubios, we have been to this location well over 50 times and have purchased their taco bar catering package about three times for our office. The staff is friendly enough and the overall eating experience is usually good except for the sticky tables. My one star review is for one reason. Rubios run a relentless email marketing campaign and several times the emails we receive are the catalyst for a trip there for lunch. We have tried to take advantage of their offerings about 6-8 times now. Each time, we printed the offer to hardcopy and took it in to the store with us. .... and... every single time it has been a nightmare to process the coupon in their system. try and fail, try and fail... call the manager to help... all the while, the line of customers is backing up behind you. This has happened every single time almost like their email offerings are a lost leader. We wonder if they are trying to make it so difficult that you just give up and say... "just go ahead and charge us the full price"... which we have actually done a couple of times. Our visit last week was the final straw... we might give Rubios another try in the future... but never again at this location!! read more
