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

    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

    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!

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

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

    we had such a great experience. staff was super friendly and welcoming. The salsa bar was fully stocked and clean! the food came quickly and the quality was great and super fresh!! i rubio

    Chicken Burrito Especial With Grilled All Natural Chicken
    Jackie A.

    More like an undercooked rice burrito with a few beans and 5 pieces of chicken. DO BETTER 's! This is nasty!

    Excellent food and great atmosphere the staff was heaven sent and the tables were nice and clean. Thank you Jesus for Rubio.

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

    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. Restaurant was clean, staff was nice, gardens out back were beautiful!

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

    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.

    The restaurant was overall very clean. 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.

    Come on Rubio's Coastal Grill! You've got to do better. You can't see it, but I'm shaking my head as I type this. With a frustrated look on my face. Apparently, they can't get orders correct. Even if you place your order on the phone app. I ordered an impossible quesadilla, with Mexican rice and guacamole. I got an impossible quesadilla with stale chips. Thanks guys. I also ordered a kids meal, the bean and cheese burrito, French fries and an apple juice. I received a bean only burrito and no apple juice. Wonderful (rolling my eyes and saying that with sarcasm). How you gonna do me dirty like this?! Do better Rubio's! Do better!

    $18 for about 2oz of protein. Sad, last time I will be visiting Rubios

What impressed me this time was how well they handled a busy Friday evening with just three young staff members running the floor. They stayed calm, friendly, and on top of things. Christian especially stood out with his warm and affable personality, and the other two girls were also very helpful throughout. I have been here a few times now and the seafood has always been consistent. I keep coming back for the gumbo at lunch, and their shrimp platter is always a solid choice. Love this place and would recommend it any day.

Our go-to is the Combo 1 ($34.95) -- you pick any 2 pounds of seafood from crawfish, mussels, clams, octopus, or shrimp, and it comes loaded with 2 corns, 2 potatoes, and 4 sausage slices. It's an incredible deal. When we're really hungry, we tack on an extra pound of seafood and still walk away feeling like we didn't overpay. Compared to similar spots, the prices here are genuinely hard to beat. The service is great, the restaurant is clean, and the vibe is super fun -- they've got TVs all around so you can catch a game while you dig in. It's the kind of place where you roll up your sleeves, put on your bib, and just enjoy yourself. Highly recommend!
