    The Coastal Trio with a couple of substitutions
    Jack F.

    I always come to this Rubios location and the food here is consistently delicious! The restaurant is always kept tidy and orderly and the staff is always helpful and quick with my order!

    The Taco Tuesday special is really good. However it's only three types on special, Chicken, Steak and Original Fish. You can order a Fish Especial with guacamole and pico sauce for 29 cent more. However my experience was it has a much smaller piece of fish on it. That's the Especial on the right. Really disappointed with this. I have to say the regular fish tacos are really good.

    Coho salmon burrito with fresh greens
    Karen W.

    I was hungry so I wanted something quick. I also was craving salmon. I like burritos. Boom. Rubio's fit the bill for lunch. Their salmon burrito is made with wild Coho (Silver) salmon which was even better since I tend to like wild salmon over the farm raised stuff. It wasn't too busy here around lunchtime on a weekday. Perhaps it was because it's fall break here apparently so there was no lunchtime rush of students. It's been forever since I had something at Rubio's but the menu is pretty much the same, with various seafood options and chicken for your taco, burrito, bowl or quesadilla. I got my order to go. While you wait for your meal there's a nice little salsa bar with various spice levels and a few different salsas in a bottle. I got a little of the mild, hot, and jalapeno citrus salsas. Something I wasn't aware of until I glanced more closely at the menu was that if your meal comes with a side, you have the option of either chips or fresh greens. The cashier neglected to ask me and inputted chips as my side. Hey, I want my greens! It was an easy enough fix though but in the future if the cashiers could ask which side you want instead of automatically assuming you want chips it would clear up any further adjustments in orders. The salmon burrito was as expected. I liked the salmon, and in general I like burritos. Do I like both together? Hm, still not sure about that one, or at least I'm not sure about the version they serve here. The filling consisted mainly of rice, a little bit of cabbage, and a decent amount of guac stuffed to the edge of the burrito. The fresh greens were, well, fresh greens. It was a simple pile of lettuce with a small container of citrusy dressing. Theoretically it's a healthier option than getting the chips and the dressing tasted alright. The cost? Around $10. I wasn't a big fan of the burrito but maybe I'll try one of their tacos next time!

    I ordered the Mahi Mahi Street Corn Bowl, it was delicious! The service was fast and restaurant was clean. Overall 5 stars!

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.

The sausage was sliced instead of a free form piece of sausage, but it was still amazing. You could see a piece of fennel seed in the slice which gave it so much flavor along with the pepperoni. The crust was thin at center and then built up to a puff on the rim that was so flaky like a croissant. The crust just kept building to the flavor profile. When we placed our order, I asked the employee to explain their sauces. She described them all and then said the cherry hot pepper sauce was her favorite. The sauce put the pizza to the next level. If you like crushed pepper seeds on your pizza, this sauce is a must and so much better with fresh peppers. The employees were super friendly and explained everything and answered all our questions as first time visitors. They all worked together and impressed on us that they enjoyed working there. It was a nice day, so we sat outside. The sunshades could be bigger to put out more shade, but that was all forgotten with the first bite of pizza. I will definitely return. I will be attempting to copy the cherry hot pepper jam, so yummy.

Located on the main drag of downtown Mesa you can eat inside or on the patio. There aren't servers, instead, you order at the front desk. The menu has a variety of options, mostly pizza (both classics and signature pies). There is also a bar area where you can grab a pint or two of local brews The interior was electric with people enjoying pizza, locations, watching the Olympics, and just unwinding for the day. We ordered a salad and a couple of pizzas. The salad came out first, and the pizzas weren't far behind Being a self-proclaimed pizza snob, the pizza was fine. It wasn't overly flavorful, and it didn't blow me away, but it also didn't disappoint. The salad was LOADED with toppings, and I was somewhat impressed there. Unfortunately, polling the group, the beer was slightly lackluster. But again, this spot is a fun vibe and is great if you want to hang out for a bit and enjoy a brewery/pizza parlor type atmosphere Some tips: When you're done with your drinks and meal consider walking down the Main Street and stopping by one of their many bars, museums, and other eateries There isn't a lot of parking off the main drag, but we were fortunate enough to find parking on a few different occasions Cheers!

I did not appreciate this. CLAM CHOWDER- creamy and more on the fluid consistency, being made with fresh clams makes the difference. Not the best chowder i've had, but was pretty decent. The fish variety can vary with seasons, but it is nice to get different choices throughout the year. There are limited offerings here compared to the bigger location across town, as far as menu and fish selection.

There's the regular loaded fries and wings, salads, and a nice election burgers. We ordered the Philly Salad and the Very Summer Salad with a side order of fries. They make their own ranch, and it is good. I will say they don't seem to skim on salad ingredients either - - the Philly salad was covered with shaved beef, and my berry salad had a lot of chicken and tons of blue cheese. The fries were delicious - - slightly seasoned and crispy. This place is clearly dog friendly. In fact the day we went there was a sweet Pitbull named Daisy who literally hopped up on a bar stool and sat there like a little angel the entire time. The bar had a dog full of water that they sat down on the counter next to her owner's beer. They also have dog biscuits to give. It made my day to see that sweet little dog hanging at the bar having a treat. This really is kind of a spot that feels like it's probably the hangout spot of many people. Great bar food and a good selection of beers. What's not to love?
