    California Burrito with Grilled All Natural Chicken
    Mandy F.

    I love how my favorite Rubios ever is minutes away from my house. Food is so consistent. It is so important to have the app because of all the cool rewards and it's also easier to order on the go through the app. You know how i know this? The wonderful staff from Rubios. The manager (Don, I believe) is on top of it! He is professional (and reminds me of Gus from Breaking Bad), but he seems truly trustworthy! The store is always clean, including the tables and the salsa and drink stations. Love this spot. I'm a fan

    I'm so glad Rubio's in Vista is back! I had the Shrimp Trio and my boyfriend got the Beer Battered Fish Burrito--both were delicious and super fresh. The shrimp had great flavor and variety, and the burrito was crispy, hearty, and satisfying. We used to come here before it sadly burned down, and it's great to see it reopened and just as good (if not better) than before. The place feels clean and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and quick with our order. So happy this location is back in action--definitely worth a stop if you're craving quality seafood with that classic Rubio's flavor!

    The Original Fish Taco

    I love Rubio's fish tacos. I got two on a flour tortilla and one on corn tortilla. The corn one was super dry but I really enjoyed the flour ones. I like how their to go containers are shaped to hold the tacos in place. Visually the tacos don't looks that good but I think they taste good. The bathroom was pretty clean and they have a code so not everyone is just coming and going. The parking lot is absolutely horrendous. Yes there is a lot of space to park but it will take u forever to get in and out because there isn't a lot of openings to the main road & it's pretty tight so good luck if someone backs up on you.

    We were so excited that this Rubio's was now open. The place looked really nice. Came in around 6:30pm during the dinner rush. It took a while to finally get to the counter to order but we were ok waiting. My family ordered the steak burrito and my husband originally wanted the Mahi burrito and was told they ran out of Mahi so he settled for salmon. I ordered the gourmet shrimp plate with chips and beans. And a side of chips. We got our food and I was sooo dissatisfied with my meal. The beans I got were very runny. Went back to ask for another and was told "at this time the beans are all like that" YUCK. Why would you serve beans like that? Keep in mind the "batch" of beans prior to mine looked so much better and my boys and their friends said were good. So instead of beans I asked for the citrus rice. That was the blandest rice I've ever tasted. No flavor at all. I had to add my own lime juice to make it taste halfway decent. And to top it off, the side of chips was stale and their salsa bar needed to be refreshed with fresh salsa. It looked as it was sitting there from the lunch rush. The mild salsa did not taste right. I seriously thought I was going to get food poisoning. I did not enjoy my meal at all. The only good part about my meal were the shrimp tacos. Flavorful and tasted good. Gave 1 star for the tacos and 1 star for the decor and 1 star for the nice young man at the register. It's too bad because we love Rubio's. Hope management reads all the reviews and makes the appropriate improvements. Hoping to give it another try but will give it a few months to make changes.

    Receipt showing steak burritos were ordered (cropped to remove names)

    Edited to add: After receiving a response from Brad, the owner, I've reduced my review to one star. The fact that Brad did not offer to refund a portion of our order or to remake the meatless burritos shows a lack of good customer service. We were looking forward to Rubio's reopening...but disappointed now that we've tried them. We ordered the family burrito box with shrimp and steak burritos. The box came with two shrimp burritos, two steak burritos, beans, rice, a tiny bit of guacamole, and chips. We also added on several salsas, limes, and spicy carrots. The cost was $59.54 The "box" was actually a huge plastic tray (shame on you, Rubio's for not caring about the environment) with a huge plastic cover. Which came in a huge plastic bag. The burritos were cut in half and wrapped as eight halves rather than four wholes, something we did not request. The beans and rice were in the corners of the tray, and the chips came in multiple small bags as Rubio's stated they were out of the "catering" chip bags. Here's why I only gave two starts... We ordered shrimp and steak burritos but received shrimp and chicken burritos. I tried calling the store to see if they could/would correct their mistake only to be hung on by their automated system, stating the store was too busy to answer my call. Here's the funny/sad part... even though the burritos were tagged chicken and we ordered steak... there was literally NO meat (chicken or steak) in the burrito. It was rice, beans and salsa... I understand shrinkflation is a thing, but a little taste of meat would have been nice! The shrimp burrito did have a few pieces of shrimp (a few, as in three), but it tasted nothing like the shrimp burrito I remembered and loved and my reason for ordering Rubio's last night. The beans were excellent, the guacamole was very tasty and all of the salsas have great flavor. The rice was a bit crunchy. My husband picked up the order and said the inside of the store looks very nice. He also said the staff was friendly and helpful. Will we be ordering from Rubio's again? No! I don't mind paying $60 for a meal as long as I get what I ordered and it actually has the ingredients in it I'm paying for. Unfortunately, Rubio's wasn't able to do that for us last night.

    Meat was burnt, avocado was nasty, fish tacos was mushy. What happened rubios?!
    Tia M.

    So we got a catering order time ago and it was incredibly good! Ordered a small order of 6 tacos and they were NOT good. So it depends. They shrimp tacos was great but the rest were not. They didn't send enough of the sauces we requested. Their white sauces is super good. Wish they didn't mix onion and cilantro. Only want cilantro but no option for that. And it's like two pieces of cilantro with the rest being onion. We will repeat for the shrimp tacos. The rest nah. Read the photos to see more info.

    Shrimp Taco. See the crispy cheese on the bottom? Yummm!

    5/5 for Best Pizza and Brew -- easily one of the best spots for a slice in town…read more The pizza here is consistently great. I'm a big fan of their white pies and anything with a balsamic drizzle, and the margherita is always a safe win. The Caesar salad pairs perfectly, and the garlic knots... honestly addictive. Only downside there is you'll wish you had more--4 doesn't feel like enough for how fast they disappear. The staff is a younger, upbeat crew and always helpful when you interact with them--just a heads up, it can be tough to flag someone down when they're moving around. Best move is to go straight to the counter if you need something. The vibe is lively and modern--definitely more of a "happening" bar/restaurant energy. Plenty of seating, a great outdoor area, and a big firepit that makes it a solid hang spot. Only knock is occasional construction outside lately, but it hasn't stopped me from coming back. Value-wise, their combos are actually really solid and make for a great meal. This is one of those places I go to regularly, and it holds up every time. Best for: pretty much any occasion--just expect it to get loud during peak hours, and show up early if you want to avoid a line out the door. Compared to other artisan pizza spots around here, this one beats most. There are maybe one or two that edge it out slightly, but this is firmly in the top tier. Favorites: White pizza, margherita, balsamic drizzle pies, Caesar salad, and (of course) the garlic knots.

Burgers are usually surprisingly excellent for a Pizza place too. I just wish everyone was a bit more on point.

Additionally, their sushi, smoothie bar and pre-made foods are top notch - they are MILES ahead of any of the "big" grocery stores. So the question is - if they are so great, why do they only have 4 stars on Yelp? One major reason is that they stretch their products. If you don't check the expiration date on every product you purchase, you will end up buying something months after it expired. I purchased a Brie-en-croute on sale for Super Bowl. I was so excited to try it. When I opened the box, the product had mold all over it. I looked at the expiration date and it was not supposed to expire for another week. Then I looked more closely. They had an expiration sticker that was on the box that had already passed, and then they put another sticker on top of that one with a different expiration date. That's not accidental - that's intentional. I definitely felt taken advantage of. Is it enough to make me stop shopping at Frazier Farms? Absolutely not. But, if this grocery outlet wants to improve, they need to look into why so many products on the shelves are expired. I understand not wanting to waste things. But you can't put new stickers on top of old stickers while selling a moldy product. I hope someone in management reads this review, and takes it seriously. I don't have time to go back to Fraziers every time I have to return an expired product. If that changes, I will change this review to 5 stars.
