    So far soo good!!!
    Jose R.

    Great tasting food. Salsa has a nice kick. Wait time can use improvement. There are more options in this salsa bar or something less spicy if that's not your go to..

    Three Tacos Plate
    Jeremy S.

    Had a great experience at this Rubio's location! Ordered two of the three taco plates and they were delicious. The tacos that stood out to me was the original fish taco. Very well done, crispy, and flavorful sauces. I liked the battered shrimp taco too but found it wasn't executed as well. Restaurant has free sauces and toppings which was nice, the chips were decent as well. What really stood out was the service, felt the staff went above and beyond in assisting us. Nice and clean restaurant as well!

    I needed more rubios fish tacos pronto. The Tuesday fish tacos are $2.50. Nice choices of entrees but I can't getaway from my first choice. These tacos are making me thirsty! Always luv a self serve salsa & drink station. None of that extra charge per salsa nonsense. Salsa to your hearts content. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

    All rice and beans barely any lobster

    Ordered the lobster burrito you get mostly rice and beans such a rip off. Service is nice and amicable It's very clean place but that's because there was bare any customers now I know why.

    Employees were helpful. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. The order that I placed for a specific time was ready . And the online modifications that I did for the order were honored. I ordered during the Labor Day special of 2 entrees for $16. I ordered island fish tacos and a langostino bowl.

    Salmon Burrito
    Nina N.

    Good vibes. Good foods....Although sometimes the portions are not consistent. Always glad there is a salsa bar. Would be great if they can have fresh limes/lemons and chopped onions and cilantro . Kinda long line during lunch time. But not too bad, there are more than one cash registers. Plenty of parkings in front.

    This was a first time try for my kids & they both seem to have liked their food. The place is clean and the staff is kind. The food was pretty good; this is definitely a place I would need to be craving to go and eat. I ate the fish tacos 8/10 with black beans 8/10 and white lime rice 6/10. I'm not a huge fan of their tortillas but the chips and guacamole are fire!

    Puerto Nuevo Burrito  Mahi mahi taco, grilled salmon taco and shrimp and bacon burrito.

    My favorite Rubio's ! Great option if you are looking for healthy food, good taste and neat restaurant. Alondra greeted us with a smile and prompt service. Everything is made fresh ( guacamole, rice, beans, salsas) Puerto Nuevo Burrito pairs great with roasted corn on the side and extra garlic butter

    The Original Fish Taco - flour tortilla
    Amelea J.

    The service is always good here, salsa bar is clean, and the overall establishment is clean. I got the fish taco combo special. 2-tacos with a drink for $10. It normally comes with beans and chips, but I wanted to try the citrus rice and there's nothing citrus about it. I would stick to the way it comes.

    Don't order online they one put one lime for TWO tacos and NO white sauce that they give. they won't pamper you like they will in person!!

    I came to the website in hopes of seeing the prices but none...why?

    You can see the prices if you look @ their online ordering.

    Do they have the new Keto friendly cheese "tortillas"?

    Yes, all of our locations are now offering our Keto-style tortillas as an option. Just ask while placing your order and our team will make them for you.

    Anchos Southwest Grill & Bar: Phenomenal fresh food,…read moreincredible service, and nostalgia! I have been coming to Anchos Southwest Grill & Bar since they first opened! Even though it has been several years since my last visit after moving out to Palm Desert, coming back reminded me why this place is so special. Dean, the owner, greeted me personally, and just as always, the service was top-notch from start to finish. You can't beat those fresh, warm tortillas right off the tortilla press--absolutely divine! Pair that with their incredible, fresh Southwest flavor and the absolute best salsa in all of the IE and OC. And of course, the margaritas are still just as good as I remembered! We came in to celebrate my big sister's birthday, as Riverside was the perfect halfway point for everyone. Even with a party of 10, the entire staff handled our group flawlessly and made us feel so welcome. Thank you, Anchos, for continuing to deliver amazing food and hospitality after all these years. We LOVE your food! Arthur Cervantes, Broker

I guess with the theme of "homemade tortillas" they use them for everything including chips. Tacos hard shell, taste more like "flautas". Drinks are way "overpriced" for the size. We will never get an alcoholic beverage again. Table Salsa needs a fast makeover, it taste very blah, very mild and had a preservative/chemical taste. Quality vs. Popularity is taking over.

    I'm usually a little hesitant about going out for Mexican food because I cook a lot of it at home,…read moreso I'm harder to impress... But I'm glad we chose Ay Mi Pa for my friend's graduation celebration. We came around 6-7 PM on a Saturday and surprisingly there wasn't much of a dinner rush yet. The place is huge with lively music and definitely gives more bar/club vibes as the night goes on. The aguachile was really good and flavorful. We also tried the espresso martini, which was a little too bitter for me. I ordered the Spicy Soltera and they accidentally brought me a different drink first. They let me keep that one and still brought out the correct drink, which was nice of them. And wow... definitely one of the spiciest drinks I've ever had. But I can't really complain when "spicy" is literally in the name. We chose the Jefe Skillet. It's massive and could easily feed three people. All the meats were really flavorful, the guacamole was great, and even the complimentary chips and salsa were good. The rice and beans were pretty average, but everything else made up for it. Overall, great food, huge portions, and a really fun atmosphere for a celebration. 8.5/10

Their Mojarra for one, is amazing with some corn tortillas, beans and rice, and lettuce. The lime garlicky sauce on that one, is what I've been dreaming of. It was THE star of the show. And we also got their wet supreme burrito mojado, with the mole sauce all over it Also tried their agua fresca, loved the cucumber and lime flavor! Great size for two to share, and we had a blast just eating and enjoying the sights laid out to see. Their pickled onions got a spicy kick to it! I loved the added crunch instead of just having the typical hot salsa. Service was great, with the waiters and waitresses checking in on us every now and then, and I liked that we pay first then eat, so we just leave after we're done! Excellent experience as the weather was perfect too, the outdoor seating has some mosquitoes but be sure to go when it's not molting hot outside! After food we got to go on a photo spree and it was wonderful.

    Terrible customer service and a menu that doesn't explain their own rules…read more We ordered the potato tacos and asked if they could be made hard shell. The woman helping us immediately gave us attitude and said they "can't" do that because the potato tacos are premade. That explanation made even less sense once the food came out. My girlfriend's potato tacos were served flat/open, while my dad's meat tacos came out hot in hard shells. So they clearly have hard shells and are actively serving them--we were simply asking for potato instead of meat in one. And nowhere on the menu does it explain that this isn't possible. In fact, the menu specifically labels other items "2 SOFT TACOS" and "2 HARD SHELL TACOS," while the potato option simply says "2 TACOS." It doesn't say soft, doesn't say they're premade, and doesn't say hard shell isn't an option. If there's some legitimate kitchen reason they can't put potato in a hard shell, that's fine. Just explain it politely and put it on the menu. Instead, the woman acted like we were asking for something completely ridiculous and was unnecessarily rude about a very simple request. Customers shouldn't be expected to know your kitchen's unwritten rules and then get an attitude for asking a question your own menu doesn't answer. Fix the menu or fix the attitude. Preferably both. We definitely won't be coming back
