    Fish and chips
    Dan H.

    I was excited to try their fish and chips... one of my favorites. Things did not go well from the get go. The user interface on their app is not great... could not get it to play so I could get my $5 coupon. The gal in front of me had similar issues. Ordered the fish and chips... oddly the fish was tough... not flaky like usual. The battered coating had TONS of pepper in it... others mentioned it as well. The fish was also quite oily. The Cole slaw was good as were the fries. Service was good. The place was nice and clean.

    Went to Rubis for lunch we had two of the three shrimp taco plates. They were so delicious we really enjoyed them. The restaurant was clean and our favorite employee Neida was working. She has such a great personality and work ethic. She never stops working great asset for Rubio's.

    Kid's Build Your Own Tacos Kids Meal. But it was burnt to a crisp, hard as rock, and inedible.

    Look, cooking is stressful - I get it. But come on... have some pride in your work. Someone really looked at this chicken and cheese and said "yeah thats fine, send it out." Really? Burnt, pure black, hard-as-rock chicken? And flat, melted, pathetic cheese? You can make a mistake, but for god's sake show some respect to your customer and have the common sense to throw this out and fire up a new batch that's not literally the likeness of volcanic rock. The ONLY reason for the 2-star is that the fish taco was good. Otherwise it's a flat 1-star.

    Taco combo
    Jack P.

    Interesting food selection. I ordered the fish taco combo with cheese and guacamole. I was with a part of Five so we ordered different items. The taco had a delicious tangy flavor very unusual and mouthwatering. The steak fries were good but nothing special. But it made a nice compliment to the taco plate. Overall a good dining experience. And yes, they have Coke products!!!!!

    Run! Do not walk if you've never tried Rubios. I haven't been able to look at Chipotle the same since first going to this place. I went for the lobster bowl since my sister raves about it and it seems to be limited time offering. OMG!! I got so sad when my bowl was empty. This bowl is absolutely delicious. I had to leave off the chipotle white sauce since I can't have milk, but the main attraction is the garlic butter they give you to go on top. Absolutely mouthwatering, so I don't think I missed out on much by not adding the sauce, though I'm sure it makes it that much better. I'm actually on my way there again now. That's how much I love it.

    Burrito Especial with impossible meat
    Monica H.

    We were out shopping and my guy was getting a little hangry, so I hustled down Sunset in search of something we would all enjoy. I saw Rubio's and whipped my truck in. Boy, I'm so glad I stopped here. The cashier welcomed us and waited as we made up our minds on the menu. We were first timers and had several menu questions, the cashier was very patient and assured us that she was ready when we were. After paying for our meal, we took a number and found a table. They have a salsa bar, so we got our salsa and sat down. Our food was on the table in about 10 minutes. I had the Burrito Especial with Impossible meat... yummy, yum, yum was it good. I had to do a double-take at my Burrito to make sure it wasn't real meat, that's just how delicious it was. My son had the kids quesadilla, and my spouse had the Burrito Especial with chicken. My burrito came with a side salad; the salad dressing was so delicious I'm going back just to see if they will let me buy dressing for my homemade salads. Overall, our food was tasty and everyone was very satisfied. Reasonable prices, clean restaurant, and friendly staff. We will definitely return. Recommend!

    Mexican Street corn bowl with steak.

    A little over a week ago, I placed an order for three items. One of the items was a dish I have ordered a few times before with salmon, so I thought I would try the Mexican Street Corn Bowl with USDA Choice Steak this time. The photos I've posted are exactly what it looked like when it arrived. What a mess. And can anyone see any steak in the photos? Does this look like it's worth $16.86? I called immediately and spoke with the manager. She agreed to let me re-order another time BUT I only had two days to do this before the restaurant transitioned to a franchise. Whatever that means. I didn't have an opportunity to place that order within two days so I lost my re-order option, although GrubHub is supposed to be returning my money for that dish in full. I have not seen that in my bank account yet There's a huge problem with the particular Cook/chef who prepared this $60 order. And a problem with quality control in general. I'm disappointed because my other orders have always been successful and yummy, but this has soured me on placing orders with this particular restaurant. Not sure joining a franchise will improve your delivery oversight. I'm sure this would've looked quite different if I were sitting in the restaurant...

    Gourmet Shrimp Tacos
    Breanna W.

    I don't usually review fast food or quick service, but I had a great experience at this location :) I called at 8:30pm to place an order over the phone because I didn't want to come in right before they closed and be "that guest". The girl on the phone sounded so unbothered and sweet. At the end I said I hadn't been in since Covid so I'm not sure the salsa policy but I want the green salsa and the brown colored one. When I got there I paid in cash with change, she didn't mind. Told me my food would be up shortly and I said absolutely no rush. It was out within a few minutes with my salsas on the side. I feel like usually at the end of the restaurant day you usually get poor quality or end of day leftovers, but look how green my avocado is, that is fresh! I was so excited. I also learned the cashier name was Brianna and my name is Breanna so obviously she was natured to be so nice and kind :)

That's surprising considering how often I visit the other ones. Not much has changed in seating. I offered the two seats of my table to a couple but they said no and waited longer for another to become available. Apparently they have never experienced a Basque restaurant, where you sit with complete strangers and then leave as friends. Any way, seating is the same. The food was good this time with the exception of the tomatoes, they seemed mushy like were stored to cold or semi frozen along their journey. Otherwise the rest of the salad seemed fresh. Lettuce was crisp, onions and cucumbers were fresh, just not the tomatoes. But in their defense, they normally are. I am always torn in making decisions when looking at the menu, as they have a lot of great items to choose from. I still recommend this place.

The gyros platter included: a whole pita cut into quarters. The pita bread was warm and very palatable. The Greek rice was well seasoned. Not too salty and not greasy. Again, the rice was warm and savory to the taste. The generous portion of beef strips had a distinctive "Greek" aroma that which screamed "gyros....gyros....Gyros!!" Lol!!

Cool, crunchy, full-of-flavor!! (See pic) She had the chicken gyros. According to her, it was 25 out of 10!! Lol!! No but seriously, she did say that "we will be back!!" The baklava is to die for!!!

Next came the gyro with a house salad, which was a delicious blend of diced cucumber, tomatoes, and red onions mixed with a tangy dressing.
