I am someone who lived in San Diego in the 80s and 90s and always admired Ralph Rubio and this restaurant concept, as the little chain that could. They focused on good fish tacos, it was (slightly) more upscale than typical fast food, and not as fancy as upscale Mexican food restaurants. I enjoyed their beachy vibes and the salsa bar, which allows you to customize your meal. Lots have changed since then, including a much-expanded menu, but the salsa bar is still there. The prices have gone up a lot, although they have discounted tacos as part of a fairly weak Taco Tuesday promotion. And you can have a beer and enjoy your taco(s) in the restaurant. In addition to the battered fish taco, the mahi mahi is especially notable. The carne asada and chicken burritos are good, although I usually gravitate towards the fish, which you can't find at all other Mexican restaurants. The restaurant always seems empty, and I know this chain struggled with Covid closures (completely closing in two states and declaring bankruptcy), but the staff are friendly and food is prepared rapidly.

Terrible portions!! I got a chopped salad and it was barely halfway up the bowl. The chips came in this little baggie with maybe 12 chips. The salad and chips were good. The service was good, I saw an employee helping out a woman who was deaf and was very patient.

This place has really good food, fast service and everyone is very nice. One of my favorite Rubio's locations that I've been to while living in California. Chicken and steak burritos here are on point and for sure get citrus rice added trust me!

I come here probably once a month for lunch from work. I basically always get the Gourmet Veggie Taco Plate. I usually order on the app and pick up the order. My order is always ready on the shelf for the time requested. I haven't had any issues with the service or my order.The tacos are flavorful and the portion size is very filling. The veggie tacos have cauliflower, bell peppers, corn, & avocado with melted cheese on the corn tortilla. The taco plate comes with 2 sides that you can pick. The salsa bar has a bunch of different salsa options from mild to hot, hot sauces (diablo & jalapeno citrus), onion/cilantro mix, pickled jalapenos/carrot mix, and limes. My favorite is the picante salsa and diablo hot sauce. They have a decent number of vegetarian options, including impossible meat.
Consistently good food.This place is very big with a lot of outdoor seating as well.

I was here 2 mins ago after waiting for over 40 mins, then I got really bad triple chicken tacos , chicken was really over cooked until turn black. I had to returned back to them and get money back. It's really waste time to be here.

The food was pretty good and fresh, the salsas aren’t spicy at all but very tasty

The salsa/condiment bar needs to be cleaned up frequently. It looks gross every time we went there! Please take pride in your restaurant outlook, inside-out. We would appreciate it and would feel safer eating there.
