Steak nachos
Catherine M.

Ordering food was quick and easy, waited a few minutes to get our food at our table. Came just before the lunch rush on a Saturday. I got the two fish taco plate and my friend got the two fish taco plate especial and steak nachos. Soooo bomb! The difference between the original fish taco and the especial is the especial has guac in it. Anywayssss, all the Bay Area locations closed so when we go to LA, we have to make a stop here!

I'm abt to scarf down this bad boy coz I'm bulking.

Hadn't been in awhile I had a pleasant ordering experience on Uber Eats nice to see Rubio's has a lot of selection now. Very nice experience picking it up with friendly faces even tho she was busy taking orders and dealing with Uber ppl it was all very smooth. The FISH and CHIPS is dynamite, very very fresh. Go on put jalapeño in my tartar, I'll allow it, Rubio's just this once! Or I'll prolly be back coz that was YUM enuff to make me get on Yelp! Haha

Surf & Turf; small portion for $15.99.  Get Asian or Hawaiian BBQ for a much better deal.
Derek I.

Surf & Turf bowl was very tiny for $15.99. Get Asian or Hawaiian BBQ for a much better deal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is nice and quiet, with easy parking in the back along Loara St.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But Rubio's needs to give more food for what they charge.

Original Fish Taco® Two Taco Plate

Nachos (black instead of pinto beans), added chipotle white sauce and fire roasted corn

Had the BEST nachos!!! Whoever made my lunch cared about quality and has a love for food! Also to note swapped pinto for black beans and added white chipotle sauce and fire roasted corn. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was clean, staff was nice, gardens out back were beautiful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

The food was delicious. Conveniently located off the 5 freeway. Service was fast and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating and the salsa bar stayed fully stocked.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tried the new steak fries which are an instant favorite. Located in shopping strip with lots of parking and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the interior has a lot of natural light which is really nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Fish tacos (99c for National Fish Taco Day)
Grace T.

Came here for the 99c fish tacos for National Fish Taco Day. Service was just ok. I asked if the side of brown rice and quinoa was vegetarian, and the person at the register just stared blankly at me and said they didn't know. So, I asked if they could find out. They had to ask someone else who then had to shout the question into the kitchen, and it just made me feel kind of uncomfortable and like a burden for even asking. When I got the side of rice, it was literally like 2 bites of rice??? I don't know if this is normal across all Rubio's, but how are they going around charging $2.29 for 2 spoonfuls of rice? It was slightly bigger than the salsa container. This portion size is honestly offensive and a scam. Fish tacos were big and fresh. Add your own lime, onion, cilantro, pickled jalapenos and carrots, and salsas from the sauce bar. They were decent fish tacos - not bad, but I have had better. The restaurant was clean and had ample seating. Parking in the plaza is easy. I hadn't been to Rubio's in years, and, after this visit, I probably wouldn't come back unless it was the last place left on earth serving fish tacos lol.

Grilled Shrimp & Bacon Burrito
Jessica C.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was overall very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were nice. I ordered from the under $10 menu and got the beer battered shrimp tacos that had chipotle, cabbage, and tomatoes and a side of chips and beans. I ordered a side of rice for $3 and was a little disappointed at the size but the flavor of the food was still really good. As a street corn girly, I had to try their street corn in a cup. It was mainly roasted corn with some seasoning and little bit of a dressing. It wasn't your typical street corn, it was different but still paired well with the rest of my meal.

I used to work here years ago so I know how much care goes into the food & drinks. The Puesto Perfect Margarita is still my favorite margarita I've ever had. Everything is made fresh & you can absolutely taste the difference. I always order mine with a sugar rim. It's consistently refreshing, balanced & incredibly smooth. We stopped by on a Monday around 4:30 p.m. just before happy hour ended. It was nice & relaxed when we arrived. It only started getting a little busier as we were leaving. We took advantage of happy hour & ordered a few favorites. The potato taquitos have been one of my go-to menu items for years & are just as delicious as I remembered. Crispy on the outside, flavorful inside & served over a generous bed of fresh guacamole that makes every bite even better. We also tried one of the newer happy hour items the short rib mini burrito served with a green sauce. Both my husband & I really enjoyed it. The short rib was tender & the sauce added the perfect amount of brightness. I was happily snacking on the chips with the molcajete salsa. It's one of my favorite restaurant salsas. I also love the chips with Puesto Perfect guacamole. It makes it hard to stop eating. Since it was my birthday I treated myself to a Tropical Candy Shot. If you like bold flavors definitely order one. It reminded me of a Mexican street candy in shot form with a Tajín rim & a pineapple garnish. It was festive, flavorful & the perfect birthday treat. The sweetest surprise of the evening was the complimentary birthday dessert. A slice of pistachio tres leches cake. I love tres leches but I've never had a pistachio version before. It was incredibly moist & rich without being too heavy. The pistachios added the perfect crunch & nutty flavor. It was one of the highlights of the meal. One small detail I always appreciate is that they bring a pitcher of water to the table. This makes it easy to refill your glass throughout the meal without waiting. It's a thoughtful touch that makes the dining experience feel more comfortable. I'm so glad we came back after not visiting for quite a while. I love the consistently amazing margaritas, delicious happy hour menu, & warm hospitality. The thoughtful birthday surprise made it even better. It was a wonderful way to celebrate. I'll definitely be back! If you're visiting for the first time do yourself a favor & order the Puesto Perfect Margarita & potato taquitos. Also save room for the pistachio tres leches if it's available.

Doubling stacking deals was a big brain idea, I'll admit. I originally discovered Puesto through the Crazy, Wild Taco Night event I attended earlier this year, and it's nice to know that their restaurant offerings maintain their quality even outside of the competition setting. We ordered chips and salsa, esquite, non-alcoholic passion fruit margarita mocktails, filet mignon tacos, surf and turf tacos, and a grilled shrimp taco. I think I would skip the grilled shrimp taco next time, but the other two tacos were great and the 50% off price point made them even tastier. Our host and server were both very friendly, and we enjoyed the meal. Free self parking is available for two hours with validation from the restaurant.

I usually have enough leftovers to take home and have for lunch the next day. Parking is a bit sparse, but there's residential spots available next door and within walking distance (as well as my favorite romance bookstore, Heartbound Bookshop). All their dishes are made to order, so please have some grace and be patient with their kitchen. As I always say, you can't rush perfection!

The agua de melón was delicious, and the side of beans was excellent. We also ordered a plain quesadilla, and it was surprisingly really good. The menudo itself was just okay--not bad, but nothing special. The reason I'm giving 2 stars isn't because the staff were rude, but they definitely weren't friendly or welcoming. My biggest concern, however, was what I witnessed with the condiments. When you order menudo, they bring a plate with limes, onions, and chili. I watched two employees clear tables, throw away some items, but keep the unused onions and uncut lime wedges from customers' plates and take them back into the kitchen to be served again. Even if I didn't use all of the onions or limes, that doesn't mean I didn't touch them. Reusing food that has already been on a customer's table is unsanitary and unacceptable. After seeing that, it made me wonder whether other items, like leftover chips, might also be reused. Whether or not that's the case, what I witnessed was enough to make me lose confidence in their food handling practices. Unfortunately, I won't be returning

Review #1,082 Posted on 7.8.26…read more We stopped in here for a late night burrito & quesadilla on Sunday night the 5th after driving up from the Bay prior & getting checked into our room. This spot is located in a small strip mall shortly off the freeway on La Palma Ave in Anaheim. The food was really good, I was impressed with the meat portions in our burritos & quesadilla. There was a ton of meat. Both the red & green salsas were hot but still edible too. The rice & beans were quality as well. Highly recommend hitting this local spot up as they stay open late, and serve quality food.

I asked for their Birria tacos, the lady said this location doesn't have the Birria menu. Which is weird because other Yelpers posting a pic of their menu and it's their Birria menu. But alright. I proceeded to order and asked for their street tacos. She didn't tell me this is a cash only location also. So I went to go pick up/pay and when I go in to pay the man says, "cash only." I offered debit card, tap, Zelle. Nope. Cash only. Sucks they don't tell you over the phone. It's not advertised online either. I don't know what it is about this location. But imma keep my business at the Whittier location where they're friendly, offer their Birria menu, and other ways to pay.

Cool spot with some great margaritas and cocktails!…read more Love this little Mexican restaurant located on the bottom floor of the Packing House. Came in for a little date night on a Saturday evening. The whole staff was friendly and accommodating, always quick to refill drinks or clear empty plates. We started off with some delicious and spicy oysters which were topped with a shrimp! We also had to try the Chori-brussels which are flash fried Brussels sprouts with chorizo, balsamic reduction, and Oaxacan cheese. For drinks we got a Santo Dia, a whiskey based cocktail with watermelon, lime, and fizz served over ice. We also ordered the Spicy margarita which had watermelon habanero, lime, and hibiscus flavors. They were both delicious and refreshing, the spicy marg had a good kick to it. For dinner we got a caesar salad, the ribeye plate, and the Urbana burger. We both loved the dressing on the caesar, it's made in house and it shows. The ribeye was cooked perfectly with a delicious herb butter on top, a really good steak sauce on the side, and thick cut fries. The ribeye wasn't the highest quality but it tasted good, the fries were perfect. My fiancé got the burger which had chorizo, melted queso Oaxaca, and an egg on top. Not gonna lie it was absolutely delish! I want to come back just for the burger. All in all we had a great time and I would definitely come back for some other menu items, especially to try more of their margs and specialty cocktails. Thanks Urbana!
