Service was polite. It was very clean inside. Always a good sign. The parking lot in front is a little small but it's in the same parking lot as a grocery store, so parking should never be an issue. I placed my order through the app. They have a deal right now for a free taco with purchase through the app. So, I've been here before. Zero issues today or with prior visits. Beverage options include mango iced tea. Yasss. They have coke products. They have a salsa bar. I love a good salsa bar. Lots of options for types of salsa and toppings. My fave salsa is the green salsa. They also have jalapeños and carrots. I got 3 kinds of tacos. Langostino taco -my fave taco from here. It's full of langostino and the combination of flavors are so good. It's mild in flavors, but exactly what you want when you're craving a langostino taco. Avocado is included. It's like $7 after tax for just a singular taco (for this one, not the others), but I crave this one constantly. Shrimp taco- battered big juicy pieces of shrimp really bring it home. It wasn't too salty, and they weren't overcooked. It comes with cabbage and pico de gall and a little sauce. Yum. Signature fish taco -battered fish (no picture bc it got mushed up before I ate it, wouldn't do it justice) however it's crispy battered fish, it was just a little oily, but flavor-wise was pretty good. Would I be back? Definitely. read more

My wife suggested Rubios in effort to not have to cook. We use to eat here quite a bit several years ago. I ordered a Lobster taco, a shrimp taco and a steak taco. They were all horrible. I had a bite out of each and ended up throwing them all away. All of them had so much crap other than Lobster, Shrimp or steak on them that I will never eat there again. Disappointing. read more

Went in on a sunday, place was empty, i asked for the "coastal trio" all blackened mahi mahi, i got the shrimp, fried fish, and blackened mahi, i don't eat shrimp, or fried food, went up and got looks from the manager but they fixed the issue , although i did ask him to toast the tortillas more cuz they're ALWAYS UNDER COOKED -and he did not, they just DON'T CARE ABOUT QUALITY OF SERVICE!!! Trash read more

Ordered from DoorDash. Had the Crispy Beer Battered Fish burrito and the Chicken California bowl. Also Churro and Chocolate Brownie. The Battered fish is not crispy, in fact the batter and fish are tough and unappetizing. It could have been the delivery time where it lost its crunchiness but I'd expect it to be moist not tough. The California bowl was really good. Sorry no photos. I might give them another chance at the restaurant but would never do delivery again, it just can't take it. read more

I ordered online.tacos were horrible !!! Nothing that was ordered on individual tacos. No cabbage. Soggy tortillas! Sorry will not be back

The food was ok. It didn't hit the spot like it usually does it was just off not sure what is was about it.. Great indoor seating and vibe. Employees were kind. read more

The service was prompt and friendly. Salsa bar was full but onion didn't taste fresh at all. The food was ok. Nothing too special. Guacamole lucked taste. Mahi mahi had a weird taste. Most likely will not come back. Although the store was clean. May be they need to fix up the recipes a bit. read more

When I don't know what to eat, this rubios is always a great option! This location is always clean and the employees are always nice. I typically get fish tacos, shrimp tacos or the chicken burrito. My favorite salsa is the green verde salsa- good on everything and a great dip for chips too! Don't forget to sign up for their email list because they send promos and coupons sometimes, the prices on the food can be a little high, so getting a coupon for $2 off helps lower it a bit. read more

Tried the new Oaxacan shrimp bowl, but wasn't a huge fan this time. The shrimp was a bit soft and they included way too many beans as usual. Also,it wasn't as smoky as advertised. Saving 3 bucks made things even out a bit. read more

I have been getting your chopped salad for years. You have always had the chipotle white sauce on it. Now you don't offer that anymore and you put something called chipotle ranch, which is absolutely horrible tasting. Why did you change it? At least offer it on your app to have that instead. You have other sauces you can pick from but the chipotle white sauce is now completely gone from that salad. read more

Came over here and tried some of their tacos. The food wasn't outstanding but it wasn't bad either.

Fast friendly service. FISH TACOS- They're the BEST here! I was disappointed that the Taco Tuesday special didn't start until 2 pm. It's TUESDAY ALL DAY, so they really should honor that and give the discount all day. They do not honor the military with any kind of discount either. This location is clean and has a decent salsa bar with mixed onion/cilantro, jalapenos, cut limes and multiple salsa choices. It's not an inexpensive lunch choice unless you go after 2 pm on a Tuesday if you want fish tacos. read more

This was the second experience I've had with Ruubio's lately. Was a little disappointed. Had the shrimp and bacon burrito last time and loved it. This time got the seecomd shrimp burrito option on the menu and found it pretty bland, sadly. Got a burrito and chips and guacamole to go. Felt like it took quite a while to get my order. Wasn't told about the app or frequent customer incentives program by cashier so missed out on credit for my visit, sadly. Also thought putting guacamole on top of c to go is asking for soggy chips. Will probably go back to try other items and/or to get the burrito that actually had flavor Update- I painstakingly typed in the url they said to use to contact them and link is broken. Also emailed their website AND...NOTHING! Update 2- got a very generic email. Not sure what they were attempting to accomplish... read more

Almost Every time I go here, they get,our order wrong - price is too high for what you get

Super slooooow. If the food takes this long give out free chips. My order for four things cost $60: as much as a sit down restaurant. So between the wait and cost give us some free chips. Also had a missing item in my to go order. If staff can't read a simple list and pack the bag knowing everything the customer spent money on is in there: you aren't qualified for a simple job. I wasn't the only one. I saw multiple delivery drivers check their orders and then ask for missing items. Food was okay. Not worth the 25 minutes it took waiting for. And definitely not $60 worth. read more

I was not sure about going to this Rubio's based on the other reviews, but I went and was very pleasantly surprised!! The staff was very nice, I waited about 7 minutes for my To-Go order, and the food looks perfect. I will definitely be back! read more

They have a great menu. Good variety. I often wonder why I don't eat there more often. I love all the fish and seafood options. Most places seem to have the same old tasteless stuff. At Rubio's, I find myself having a hard time deciding. We stopped in around lunch time. There were a few people in front of us, but the line moved quickly. We decided on a steak burrito and a shrimp burrito. Both were hot and fresh. Very flavorful. There is a salsa bar. Prices seem high until you take that first yummy bite. Then you realize it worth paying a little more for good food. Good service. Clean inside. read more

Today I went in to get fish tacos. This used to be a great go to place and I was excited to finally be able to go back to my 'go to' Fish taco place since moving back. Well I ordered my fish taco plate to go, mistake number one. At least 8 people behind me were served before me that were dining in for their food. I asked the woman what was happening with my food and why others that came in after me were being served and she replied they had an easy order. One family had multiple items and I had a fish taco plate. So I call BS. 30 minutes later and still counting people being served behind me and I told her I had to leave and she could just give my food to one of the 6 guys that just walked up cause I had a meeting and I left. This was the worst experience of my life and I WILL NEVER set foot here! I had even provided a 20% tip to these people! Does anyone care that this place has gone downhill? Is there a GM, DM or someone that leads this establishment cause this was completely unacceptable. My total amount that I gave away today was $17.08. Never never go here!! And yes other customers were asking for their food too. But, they got theirs and came in after me. So there is clearly a labor and customer service issue here. Again- don't waste your time or money at this Rubios. read more

One of the best fish burritos I've had by far!! The fish was crispy, well seasoned, and packed into the burrito with beans and sauce! I just wish it came with beans and rice like the tacos do, but nonetheless I'll definitely be back to taste their fish tacos! read more

I'm sorry but I'm disappointed. We ordered a California bowl with shrimp and a chicken quesadilla. Absolutely nothing special... my shrimp on my bowl were okayyyy but lacking flavor and spice. The bowl price was not made for what was in my bowl. My husbands quesadilla was "Taco Bell" grade. Nothing special whatsoever. Give it a shot as fast food option but we won't be trying again unfortunately. read more

I don't know about you guys, but it has been one heckuva work week. Ughhh. I opted to splurge after work and enjoy dinner at Rubio's. I've been here a couple of times before, but never took it upon myself to write a review... 'til now (and I didn't forget the pics before I scarfed down my food this time either. WIN/WIN!) So... Rubio's is a great, chill spot with good food. They seem to specialize in a tex-mex / mexican / seafood kinda flair. The bulk of their mainstay seems to incorporate seafood into the dish in one way or another. This location is very clean, the employees are friendly and the food... well, like I said, the food is good. I opted for the Cabo Plate which is a good choice if you've come hungry. The plate consists of their classic grilled shrimp burrito and their original fish taco. The burrito has grilled shrimp, refried beans and a host of other goodies. The shrimp is grilled to perfection every time and the beans are not too overdone. I typically smother the burrito in their roasted pichante salsa which has more flavors going on in my mouth than I really know what to do with... it's delicious. Not a lot of spice, but still a ton of flavor. The meal itself really isn't horrible for you and goodness knows there's worse things you could be eating. The plate isn't finished though. You also get a side of their famous no-fried pinto beans and a large handful of their tortilla chips which seem to round out the entire plate without pushing you over the edge into a food coma. Just don't say I didn't warn you. Their pinto beans are creamy and the texture is excellent. This is definitely one of my favorite weekend lunch spots and I'd recommend it to any of my friends and family! Kudos to everyone at this Rubio's location for a job well done. read more

Can't speak to the quality of food. We have been waiting for 45 minutes. Not sure what is going on but the place needs to fix itself

I ordered the Mexican corn bowl with shrimp, but there was only one piece of shrimp and hardly any corn! If you are going to charge me 15$ of shrimp, I need more than one freaking piece! RIP OFF AT ITS FINEST!!! read more

This Rubios location is getting a little long in the tooth but to it's advantage. It really has a nice vibe to it, a little old school in the décor package, a little wear on the fixtures but clean and well maintained. You can almost feel the sand between your toes and the salt air in your face when you walk in (and no, the floor is not dirty-clean up your mind :) Featuring one of the best salsa bars in town, complete with chopped onions mixed with cilantro! I know I consume half a pint of salsa every time I go here. Chips are excellent, the chicken burrito especial is my jam, with the afore mentioned salsa slathered on to the point of deteriorating the tortilla. I'm a member of their birthday club and they sent me a BOGO coupon so the P and I went there for dinner and really enjoyed ourselves. The manager who took our order was absolutely one of the nicest people I've run into this year, so accommodating and friendly. Service was fast and accurate, I know, kind of a low bar but I'm always surprised when places don't hit it. Although I'm a little "Rubio'ed" out from eating there weekly at another location close to where I used to work, it's still one of my favorites, I hope they stick around. :) read more

This location constantly spills their garbage in the parking lot in front of the garbage receptacle. This Friday morning, there were black beans, avocado pits, and garbage spread over the asphalt. Their back door and pavement behind the kitchen are covered in black sludge, while trash bags pile high in the rocks and bushes outside. If this is what is left outside for all the public and customers to see, what must their kitchen look like. Gross. Lazy staff. read more

Man, I forgot about Rubio's for a while, but was pleasantly reminded what a solid option it is when looking for a quick, on-the-cheap-side lunch. I had a shrimp and bacon burrito, spicy and fresh and hearty, and I managed to sample the shrimp tacos my wife ordered as well - really solid. The chips were crunchy, and the many salsa's kept me intrigued by new flavors. The fresh lemons and limes to squeeze over food were a nice touch as well. Rubio's the man! read more

I have been to many of the Rubio's in the Phoenix area but this one takes the cake. I love the morale of the restaurants and there is always ambiance. I can tell why people love this location due to the lines, I drive 5 miles past a different Rubio's location to go to this one on 59th Ave & 101. As far as the food goes, it is always consistent portions and never any complaints, even when I grab take out. The main reason I come to this location outside of the phenomenal food is because of the management, Benjamin in particular. Every time I come here with family or my girlfriend he is always smiling and happy and makes us feel like family when we are there. He is someone I can see moving up the ladder one day due to his incredible management skills, it really shows that he holds his staff to a standard and that is what I think is driving this location. read more

Best time to go here is on Tuesdays. The fish tacos are only $1.50 each! The fish is a generous size, and not a dinky taco that you would expect for the price. I usually order fish tacos along with chips to utilize the salsa bar. It gets pretty busy, so get ready to get comfortable. It took about 20 minutes to get my order of 5 fish tacos today. read more

I hate writing bad reviews but... Don't go to this place if you're a vegetarian. I LOVE Rubios. Tonight is the third time I've ordered food from here and there was meat in my burrito. The employees were super nice about it but I'll no longer be ordering from this location. read more

This is by far the worst Rubios I have been to. The gentleman behind the counter (Ben) was on a power trip and refused my husband and I service because I didn't have a proper mask on. I am in my first trimester of my pregnancy and my morning sickness lasts all day. I have an extremely hard time wearing masks ( I start dry heaving and puking seconds after putting a mask over my face) so I opt for the neck gators. He claimed he would get fired if he served us. I've been to this location multiple times before and had no issues what so ever. This is unacceptable behavior towards a paying customer and we will not be back. I would recommend reviewing your mandates for your employees or having Ben reprimanded for lying and refusing service when completely unnecessary. read more

We were looking for a place to pick up food from, but I was driving and couldn't do a mobile order. I wasn't sure if Rubios did over the phone orders, and when I called in, the gentleman was super nice! He said yes and gave me an estimated timeframe without me asking which was perfect with the distance I was coming from. I went in to pick it up thinking I would need to get my salsa myself, and he offered me the prepackaged. His tone and demeanor was of great customer service! read more

We ordered a family meal 4 burritos beans rice guacamole etc. Was told 40 minutes. I got there 10 minutes early. drove 2 minutes home and found the food was cold, almost no chicken or beef in the burritos. just a tortilla filled with rice and beans and sour cream. The worst part was I had company in town that had to suffer through the meal. read more

Disappointed. Very. We have been coming here for years. It's always been good. But today was just ridiculous. I ordered the Balsamic and roasted veggie salad with chicken and my husband got the Baja burrito. The food was brought out and the chips that came with the burrito were horrible. They were stale and hard to chew. The burrito was fine. The salad on the other hand was missing half of the listed ingredients on the menu. There wasn't any peppers, onions, zucchini and avocado. My husband brought it back up to the front and told the girl. She was trying to argue with him saying "you got the balsamic salad with chicken." Yes, we did. The only balsamic salad is the roasted veggie one. She took the salad and had the chefs add the roasted veggies. When she brought it back out IT STILL WASN'T RIGHT! Still missing avocado. Not worth the argument but we will now not be back. read more

Ordered online todayc5/7/21 at 7:56pm. Came in on time to pickup so food would be hot. Foood was cold I live down the street but I'm seeing the close at 9pm. I didn't realize that, but that shouldn't take away from me receiving good quality food. Now I have a cold order over $17 bucks. I come to this company for food as my cheat food. Like once a month maybe twice this is my favorite spot. Now this, and I'm truly disappointed. I should have figured it out when you walk up to the store this location smells like raw sewage, to bad I paid online before coming to this location. Have to throw away it's so cold inside and the taco shells are atleast 40 degrees imagine what temp my protein in the food is. I hate Rubios now. I work hard for my money I don't get free money.
