    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.

    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 :)

I took my three daughters after telling them how amazing the clam chowder, charbroiled oysters, and pan roast are.While we were enjoying our meal which consisted of those dishes, a seafood boil, and a Caesar salad, I noticed a small bug on the rim of the seafood boil bowl. The establishment is quite dark, and because my eyesight isn't the best these days, I initially tried to swat it away thinking it was a fruit fly. It didn't fly. We looked closer and realized it was a baby roach. I asked our waiter to come over, handling it discreetly, and he was genuinely shocked. He hurriedly removed the dish and asked if we wanted a replacement, which I declined. At this point, I fully expected a manager to come over to check on us or apologize, but that never happened.Our waiter returned to ask if we wanted boxes since we were only halfway through eating and had a lot of food left. However, as you can imagine, we had all completely lost our appetites. When the bill was brought, they did take off the cost of the seafood boil, but I was incredibly disappointed that this was the only effort made. I never saw a manager, and they did not offer any additional discount for completely ruining our family dinner. I paid the bill, left a 20% tip, and left.I went back and forth on whether or not to post this, but decided it was necessary. The customer service and hospitality following an incident like this were completely nonexistent. I will never be back.

We ordered cocktails from a very limited menu. Our waiter wasn't sure how to make the lemon drop martini on the menu but said he'd try to follow the recipe. We asked for Grey Goose but watched him pour shelf vodka. Drinks were served after the appetizers arrived even though they were ordered first. We started with oysters. Waiter said they only had two kinds tonight so we ordered 6 of each. He set them down and left to get tobasco we requested. When he returned we asked which were which he said "we only had one kind so they're all the same." I feel he should have told us before serving them since they were $4 each! I ordered coippino which at $46 was expensive but I wanted a treat. Hubby ordered large clam chowder in bread bowl and Caesar salad. Cioppino lists first ingredient as crab. What I was served had no crab, 2 overcooked shrimp and rubbery calamari. The sauce was flavorful but so disappointing otherwise. I asked about the crab and was told "no crab" and I was offered additional scallops as compensation. He brought three small scallops on a plate. Hubby was served two small bread bowls of chowder with the explanation of "we are out of large bowls". Again, it should have been discussed prior to serving that there was a substitution. Who wants two big loaves of bread bowl??? The salad adequate-- a big bowl of romaine with croutons with a side of dressing. All in all not worth the over $150 it cost. Not in the least! And they charge an extra 3% if you use a credit card. We will not be back.

The restaurant itself has that classic Red Lobster feel--very nostalgic and comfortable. It wasn't busy when we arrived, and we were seated promptly, which was a great start. Unfortunately, things became frustrating after we placed our order. About 30 minutes later, we were informed that they were out of both filet mignon and rice, which meant our Jambalaya order needed to be changed and our Surf & Turf had to be modified as well. It was disappointing that it took that long for the kitchen to communicate those shortages. We then waited another 20 minutes before being told they could actually make the Jambalaya after all if we still wanted it. By that point, we had already been waiting nearly an hour for our food and just wanted to eat. When the food finally arrived, most of it was fine. However, my steak was very tough and difficult to chew, which was disappointing, especially after the extended wait. The rest of the meal was perfectly acceptable. Our server, Matthew, was very kind, professional, and apologetic throughout the entire situation. He handled everything as well as he could and was not the issue. From what we observed, there seemed to be a disconnect between management, the kitchen, and the serving staff. We could hear management walking around discussing that there was no rice available, yet the information wasn't being communicated consistently to guests in a timely manner. I understand that restaurants run out of items, and that happens. The bigger issue was the lack of communication and the amount of time it took for accurate information to reach our table. Hopefully these are just growing pains, because the staff was friendly and the restaurant itself was pleasant.
