We come here often. The service is always great. We enjoy Rubio's because it just has healthier than other fast food options in the area. We always switch up and this is my children's favorite go to fast food place. The have a nice variety of hot sauces and a good mix of drinks. The menu is great for anyone. They have veggie options as well as meat , poultry and sea food. They literally have something for everyone and the kids meals are a very good varied for little ones.

Great selection of Baja California style delicious food. Their lobster bowl is a must try! Daily Agua fresca and sweet teas are refreshing. Plenty of kid friendly choices in main menu and kids menu.Kid-friendliness: Many Kid friendly options to choose from.

I have always had some nostalgia for Rubios but the original tacos seem to not have the quality they used to. Still pretty good though.

I here come often, maybe once or twice a week ... at least. The food here is like any other rubios, you should know what to expect, you like it or you don't. I personally have never had an issue with my order. The service here, though, is amazing. I would like to take a moment and recognize the staff. They are always friendly, helpful, place is clean... etc.... Ok, so here we go... Most times when I come to this specific Rubios location, there's a girl who comes in, maybe a teenager... not sure. I don't want to mention her name for privacy, but she has some.... limitations. You can tell she absolutely loves coming here, she literally lights up when she walks through the doors. Every time I've seen her, almost every single staff member on duty acknowledges her like she's the most important human being on the planet! She seems to love engaging and conversing with them, I think she knows them by name, and she even has her own order thats called it out when she walks in. Although the staff makes it seem like it's a normal, pleasant part of their day, It's one of the most beautiful acts of kindness I have ever witnessed from a single group of people in my life.

They need some help in the management department. I had the Chicken bowl it was garbage, who wants a cold chicken bowl. I was in a hurry dumped most of it in trash. This location is going downhill. I think I will no longer visit this location. I think they should shut down and clean up the place and train the so called cooks to serve hot food. Total joke I'm done with this dive. (09-03-2023) I had lunch at this location again and the grilled chicken burrito was ok. The tables are horrible food all over tables and seats and the floor. Restrooms are a total mess. I cleaned my own table and was very disappointed. The employees are nice I blame Management for the problems. I can't eat here anymore.

The food was soggy not crispy and very small pieces of fish,,very few chips, not enough toppings, just one lime for 4 fish tacos and the fish was barely worth the money. I won't be going back at all and suggest you do the same.

The staff was very nice and friendly. The atmosphere is typical corporate, fast food so meh. I'm probably not the best person to ask as i don't typically eat fish but I had the chicken street tacos which was bland and just okay. Everything else looks and smells fresh, including the salsa bar so I'm sure it's fine just not to my liking. I'd say don't listen to me and try them out. Definitely a different take on tacos being a coastal grill and different than most things in the area.

The fish taco was tough, overcooked and almost inedible. When my husband asked for a kids cup for water he got told he had to purchase a cup by two associates who quoted him two different prices. The lady who brought my food seemed happy to bring a cup for free. The restaurant was sweltering and I heard another customer also complain about the heat. I would never return to this location.
