    California BowlCalifornia
    Aryanna K.

    Honestly upon walking in we were greeted by the nicest guy Glenwood. He was super kind and made sure to take my avocado allergy seriously, by making sure everything was on the side. Even with us coming in an hour before closing he was super nice! He brought all the food to our table and asked if he needed anything and this is not a "dine in" restaurant so he totally didn't have to do that. The California bowl and tortilla soup had very little chicken so we asked if it was the usual portion and he said no, and very quickly apologized and grabbed extra chicken which was so nice!! The food was flavored to literal perfection! It was super fresh and flavorful! We are so so excited to come back. It taste just like our favorite Rubios in California.

    On my 2nd visit I had the new Al Pastor shrimp bowl which was amazing and the fresh guac is the best around. Service by Manager Aiden was A+ again and the condiment bar was full stocked with my favorite sauces.

    I got a coupon for the new carnita and thought I would give it a try. Used the online / app to order my meal. Pretty seamless ordering on the app and it offered an option for curbside pickup. Went to pick up my order and thought it will be nice not having to get out of my car. Guess what, they say they have curbside pickup but they really don't. The carnita bowl was very good.

    Not here on Taco Tuesday and it was fairly empty. Which is good! I hate waiting! Especially for food. Whoever said patience is a virtue probably wasn't hungry at that time. The young ladies who worked tonight were delightful. Greeted and thanked multiple times and even asked how my day was going. They stayed busy with their duties even though there no customers ordering. You don't see this kind of engagement a lot from the kids these days so I was impressed. Ordered the California burrito for a change. It was fresh but a little on the skimpy side. Good thing it comes with a side of chips otherwise I'd have to order 2 just to get filled up. Gotta love the fresh salsa bar though. Wouldn't mind if this salsa bar was at a wedding reception along with the chips and bean dip. Lol This place is nice and clean and gave good service. For that I rated 4 stars

    There's just a smudged of salmon.  See all the tortilla?

    Seriously this was the last time ever going to this location. They're awful and they get our order wrong almost all the time. Ordered a Wild Salmon Burrito. A flauta has a lot more filling than this burrito. The amount I got was equivalent to 1/4 or 1/5 of the normal burrito and I've gotten this before at other locations, so I'm comparing to those locations. Basically I got a little more than the tortilla, which that was basically what this burrito was - a tortilla with 10 kernels of corn and maybe 1/2 oz of salmon. I also ordered a side of street corn but got nothing. Tried calling that Rubio's back but their phone system for 4 hrs said they were busy. I doubt that. The point of ordering takeout was I didn't want to cook. But I ended up doing that. The time before, which was 3 weeks prior, I ordered a salmon burrito but got a shrimp burrito. Maybe don't order the salmon burrito because they just can't make it. Now I have to go back in tomorrow to deal with this because I'm not paying $11 for basically a tortilla, 10 kernels corn, a few flakes of salmon and a teaspoon of guac. Rubio's used to do a good job, but it seems this location usually gets something wrong with our order. Not worth the stress and hassle.

    Burnt chicken

    Extremely disappointed with my recent online order from Rubio's. I ordered a chicken chopped salad, and as you can see from the photo, all the chicken pieces were burned. It was inedible and ruined the entire meal.

    Men's bathroom
    Stu C.

    Food is pretty good. Love their salmon burito and citrus jalapeno sauce. Chips were old. Now their men's bathroom is disgusting! See pictures. That looks like mold and needs to be replaced. Not sure if it's a health violation but who knows. The owner should be embarrassed.

    New Baja Bowl
    Brad W.

    This meal, the new Baja Bowl made its debut. There are a few choices and ways to customize, but mostly it's a choice between lettuce and rice flavor or both for your bowl bottom layer. In general , all the ingredients are the same as usual, just another way to arrange things. With a drink, this meal will run close to $12, so drink water and keep it under $10. I chose chicken and everything was fresh and the flavors melded together nicely.

    The Original Fish Taco* (I couldn't find the footnote belonging to the asterisk) ‍

    Original Fish Taco Plate, Fri., 10/21 Extremely disappointing and actually inedible. Disappointing in part, because all previous experience with this store over many years and including the most recent Taco Tuesday, has been consistently good. That said, I don't believe this food should have been served. The fish appears to have been battered and (refried) multiple times. It did not have the flavor or texture or appearance of fresh. Image shows what it all looked liked from the inside out. Limes were not packed in as they typically are. The salsas I selected were not packed in*. The black beans I opted for did not have the usual cheese garnish. I will be requesting a replacement of this order. *that may be my failure to pack them as I usually would for a take out order there...

    Steak burrito and a side of chips.

We also ordered bottle of wine and then informed they were out of that kind of wine. So I ordered the Chilean Seabass and my husband ordered risotto. My husband did enjoy his risotto. The Seabass was very disappointing. It was tough. I had to cut it with a knife. It was very bland!

What a treat. Exactly what I'm looking for in a Caesar salad. So good! The pesto on the Caprese was house made and so tasty. I want to try a pesto dish next time. My wife had the Sacchetti Porcini with truffle and it was light and perfectly balanced flavor. The pillows melted in your mouth. Will definitely have again. The Lobster Ravioli had a well balanced limoncello flavor and not too creamy. Cool striped pasta. Perfect for those not super hungry but wanting a unique dish that is sure to please. Steak Nicola was was cooked to perfection and had a suburb combination of black truffle, aus jus and prosciutto cotto to make it a memorable dish. I'm still craving it the day after.

We ordered a shrimp burrito, which was a bit plain and dry--just rice, fajita veggies, and shrimp. The fish and chips were better, with a good sized portion of fries.
