    Craving tacos and decided on Rubio's. It was an off hour so there were only a few parties eating and no one in line. The clerk was so kind and helpful in answering questions and suggesting what I should order. Thank you. I bought the $8 meal - 2 tacos and a drink. Delicious and it hit the spot. Ok, bye.

    I was planning a day trip to Torrance on the Saturday of a week when I received a reward for a $3 off lunch entree, which arrived shortly after my lunch at a different Rubio's location, also on a Saturday. However, the reward was set to expire on Friday of that week. I was having such a busy week, being swamped with work, and there was just no way that I could go to Rubio's for lunch on a weekday. I had to let the reward go to waste, right? Not quite! I was able to find a workaround. On Rubio's online ordering platform, you can order ahead up to six days in advance, and so that's what I did. On Friday at lunchtime, I decided to see if I could place an order for pickup the next day and still redeem that reward. Sure enough, it worked! One thing to keep in mind was that reward would only work between the hours of 11 AM and 2 PM. I didn't try to see if a 2:30 PM pickup would work on Saturday, but it wouldn't have worked with my schedule anyways. My go-to at Rubio's is their Atlantic Salmon, but I had already gotten that particular protein on my most recent visit to Rubio's. This time, I chose something from the 5 under $10 menu, which is a menu of 5 different Rubio's entrees that you could get for less than $10, at least pretax. I chose one of the two cheaper entrees, the Baja Grill Chicken Burrito, which consists of all natural grilled chicken, melted cheese, guacamole, and salsa fresca. A relatively simple, no-frills burrito that would certainly pale in comparison to an Atlantic Salmon Burrito, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a comparable burrito elsewhere for only $6 (after the $3 off, that is) in today's economy. The burrito by itself, even without a side, may also suffice for one meal if you're trying to eat lighter. The burrito would come with a side of chips, but you can swap it out for beans, rice, or even Mexican street corn. I chose the no-fried pinto beans. Although not totally necessary since they have a salsa bar, you can also choose your salsas and other extras in your online order. For my burrito, I chose the Roasted Chipotle Salsa and the Jalapeno Citrus Hot Sauce. This Rubio's in Torrance is in Rolling Hills Plaza on the eastern corner of Crenshaw and PCH. You probably won't find an open parking stall directly in front of the restaurant or any of the other restaurants in that building, but there are plenty of spots in any other direction really, even on the west side of Crenshaw. On my last visit to a different Rubio's, my order was ready 5 minutes before my scheduled pickup time. On this visit, I arrived 10 minutes before my scheduled pickup time, and they had just started on my order. I didn't get it until about 8 minutes later. At least they were on time! The cups of salsa and hot sauce were only about half full, but like I said earlier, they have the salsa bar, so I could have gotten more if I wanted to. The no-fried pinto beans had a layer of melted cheese on top and even some melted cheese dripping off to the side. They weren't bad, but they certainly could have used more seasoning or at least some salt & pepper. I kind of regret not getting the chips because then I could have used a multitude of salsas from the salsa bar to go with the chips. The burrito met my expectations in terms of taste, but missed the mark by a longshot with the guacamole. There was guacamole smeared on the outside of the burrito, and there wasn't even that much guacamole inside the burrito! It almost made me wonder which side of my burrito had more guac?! lol I didn't really taste much of the melted cheese in the burrito, but I did taste a great deal of salsa fresca. I felt the amount of chicken inside my burrito was adequate, especially for the price point, but I also felt the chicken was overcooked a little, which reminded me why I don't order that burrito often. I kept my expectations in check this time, and they were actually met! There is definitely ample room for improvement in perfecting the Baja Grill Chicken Burrito, but I was overall fairly satisfied, so three stars it is then! I know some business owners perceive three stars as bad, but with how stringent my rating system is compared to others, three stars is actually not that bad at all! If I lived near Rolling Hills Plaza, where this Rubio's is located, I'd definitely be open to a return visit. It was a pretty quick lunch that I even had time to make one more quick stop before heading off to my volunteer gig afterwards.

    All of the Rubio's closed in my area. This is the closest Rubio's to me. I'm afraid of this chain going out of business. I'm giving this place 5 stars because this restaurant has my favorite shrimp burrito.

    Rubio's has always been one of our favorites. Don't think we've every been disappointed with our meals. This location is great, clean and the customer service is always fast as well. Even when there is a big line they get thru the orders pretty fast. We love their bowls they have always with the shrimp and you can pretty much add any protein you'd like. They are fresh, flavorful and well served. I tend to be a Chip/salsa connoisseur if that's a thing ha ha. I can tell when a lot of love goes into a salsa and seeing if they are fresh. Their salsa's are amazing and they have different ones if you like spicy or mild they have something for everyone. There is always parking despite there being other restaurants so that's never a problem. Their bathrooms are clean and they keep them that way. Overall this place is great for a sit down lunch. Love that there is an outside patio as well so you can come with friends. Overall great spot!

    Hair in taco
    M K.

    We visited this location often and food is decent but first time catching a piece of hair on our taco :(. To management, please work on this.

    Went to place an order for DoorDash for lunch for my husband and I. I usually go into the store to eat with my kids but today decided to DoorDash. I ALWAYS get a side of pico with my order. It's the sole reason I order the chips. Not a single time out of our weekly trips have I ever paid for pico. I have also asked my previous dashers to get a side of it and never had any problems. Until today. I asked our dasher to ask for a few sides as we ordered a side of chips. He asked the worker and they said no they charge for it. So I then called and they told me also they charge for it and there's no way to add it to my order. (Just a 1 oz side) which is enough for about 4 whole chips. It not even the fact that they charge for it, I have literally paid $5 for a side of ranch. But it's the fact that A- they said that they've "always" charged for it and B- that on the app there's literally NO option to add pico. Honestly we visit this place religiously and I just paid $40 for a bowl, a kids meal, and a side of chips and they can't throw in some chopped tomatoes with lime and salt? That's crazy & reason enough for us not to go back. Note- they have jalepenos & carrots for free & onions & cilantro and salsas galore with no charge. So the charging for just the pico is silly to begin with

    My fish burrito was a little disappointing this time not much fishing at all. It was mostly rice and lettuce

I was bummed but dang.... It was DELICIOUS. It's super juicy and flavorful. We also got Brussel sprouts, fried string beans and clam chowder. The Brussels are similar to expensive restaurant quality with a little balsamic vinaigrette and parm, but a really reasonable price. Crispy leaves, a little sweet a little oily but mmmm they were amazing. The clam chowder is perfectly creamy but not too thick. Needs a little salt but otherwise it's up there as one of my favorites. The string beans were just fine but I'd skip them. There had like a fried zucchini batter, well coated and crispy but eh not for me. My partner got the fried shrimp and fish and chips and they loved it. They couldn't get enough of the shrimp. The batter was really light but crispy. Nothing soggy or heavy. The fries are skinny but kinda battered, good. Everyone here is super nice and helpful and felt bad they were out of the fish but obvy not their fault.

It was located on our way back from Palos Verdes to Long Beach, so stopped in to check it out. It is located in a small strip mall with limited parking, so my wife waited with the car running while I ran in. The first thing one notices is the deli selection of refrigerated ceviches. It is similar to what one can get at the deli section of a Mexican supermarket, including being able to order by the pound. One can get in/out quickly if one just orders what is available in the deli counter. There is also a decent size dining room, where one can order and eat the standard mariscos dishes that the area is well known for. They do accept credit card, and one pound of ceviche de pulpo and half pound of ceviche de camaron cost under $20. It came with 3 orders of tostadas, limes, and hot sauce (thinking half a pound is considered a serving so my order was meant for 3 people). It was packaged well for easy carry out. Brought it home, and it was delicious. The thing I most appreciated was the value: how much seafood was in the serving. Octopus has gotten really expensive, and the amount of meat they gave (vs mostly the vegetables and liquid that the Mexican supermarkets seem to give now) was very generous. This included the shrimp ceviche as well. Both used the lime vegetable ceviche mix that tastes pretty similar to others that I have had.
