Rubios is probably my favorite Mexican / seafood chain spot. The food always hits and for Mexican seafood style food at a chain, I've yet to find something better. Rolled into the desert for the holidays and I remembered this Rubios is pretty close to where I stay. I've been to this location and handful of times and it's one of the better Rubios locations I've been to. The only downside to this place is it's located in a fairly busy shopping center so I'm definitely careful when parking here and watching out for the old folks speeding through these lots. Otherwise that's the only thing negative I could say. This location is always impeccably clean inside. Another reason I like this location is they keep the salsa counter and toppings area immaculate. Back home I don't find my rubios to be as clean as here so i definitely appreciate the attention to detail and cleanliness. The limes and lemons slices are always stocked which is another plus. Staff here are friendly and seem happy here always. Today was no exception. When I walked in the two gals at the registers were warm and inviting. Also brought my food out to my table right away. My go to bite here is their classic shrimp burrito. The shrimps are grilled and pretty big for a fast food type place. Impressive quantity and quality of the shrimps. I also love love love their chipotle cream sauce, I always get extra. Cheat meal! If you want something besides shrimp you can't go wrong with their fried fish tacos. That's what this place is known for and they always taste so bomb. A second favorite of mine for sure. Great crispy batter, say no more. In La Quinta this location is an A+. read more

I was so excited to try their " Fish and Chips " which has been promoted heavily on social media. I should have realized that it was a PAID endorsement from some millennial touting the entree as " FIRE". The fish was 90 percent batter and the fish had dark pieces in it. Tasted very fishy even after using a lot of lemon wedges. I ate half of one and threw the rest out. The French fries were overly cooked and tasted awful. I was so disappointed with the entire meal and will not return to Rubio's again. read more

Worst place ever ordered my lunch online at 12:19pm, said it would be ready by 12:30 ended up receiving my food at 12:50. Just to find out later when I was eating it that they didn't even take off the tail on a lot of the shrimps, I got the California bowl with shrimp. This place has always been awful and so slow missing things and meals and forgetting a lot, over the years with my family ordering from there also.

I haven't had Rubio's in a long time. The mahi mahi burrito was actually really good! The food came quickly and was filling. The restaurant itself is why I am giving 3 stars. Firstly, the A/C was not functioning well. It was very hot in there and we had a 2 month old baby who was sweating like crazy because it was so hot in there. Secondly, the lady working the front seemed stressed out and overworked. Not sure if she was working a double or something. Thirdly, the trash can was overflowing and trash was being piled up. It would make sense if the lady in the front was too busy to change it so it got that full. Overall I would probably go to Rubio's again in a different city where it's not so extremely hot. read more

Good food when they get the order right. Not sure why the idiots they hire have trouble with 5 ingredients in a taco is beyond me, and it never used to be a problem, but recently we've been getting orders and finding out that they're missing pico or chipotle sauce or cheese. Like it's so basic, how can anyone fuck this up and how can anyone let these orders go out when customers can tell at a glance that ingredients are missing? Pay people better so they can focus on their jobs more and provide service that doesn't require me to double check the order in my car every time. read more

I was famished and wanted to get some thing fairly healthy to eat. I was too hungry to pick up groceries and go home and cook. I knew I could count on Rubio's. Hadn't been here in quite a while, but, as usual, the food tasted great. Yes, it's fast food, but the beans and rice taste perfect. The veggie gourmet taco is literally one of the best things I've ever eaten. I am watching the calories, so I got it without the toasted cheese. It still tasted amazing, and I'm so glad that they still carry it. I just got back from Texas, where I did a bunch of fine dining. The food here actually tasted better! Another awesome thing is they brought back their salsa bar. They have so many choices and they are all so good that I never throw away the extra. I always take it home. The entire restaurant is clean, including the bathrooms. I did notice that they served me on a paper plate, and the utensils are plastic. In the past, I always appreciated the fact that Rubio's had reusable plates and silverware. I hope they will bring those back. read more

Excellent customer service and very good fast food. My to go order took about 15 minutes on a weeknight near closing time when the restaurant was mostly empty, but I was happy to wait and enjoy the tropical fish in the saltwater tank near the entrance. I can always count on Rubio's after a long day of work when I just want to take something back to the hotel. This Rubio's kept up with the standard of good quality seafood and beautiful presentation. Don't miss out on being up close and personal with a sweet little puffer fish in the tank! Puffers are intelligent fish and will track you if you walk up close to the tank. They have some other beautiful tropical fish that I have seen in an aquarium in Singapore, and while I don't like that they're cooped up in a restaurant, it's a great way to expose people who may never otherwise have a chance to see these kinds of fish. read more

I went to eat today at Rubio's Coastal Grill around 1pm, and I didn't have to wait to order. I placed an order of fish tacos. The fish tacos were awesome, good size and full of flavor. I also ordered 2 plain burritos to go, and they did not disappoint. Rubio's meal prices are very reasonable. Everyone working at Rubio's had a positive attitude and the restaurant was very clean. I read some of the previous unfavorable Rubio's restaurant reviews, and I didn't experience any issues. Perhaps management made some operational improvements recently? I will visit the place again when it gets a little busier and will fully update this review. I do recommend Rubio's Coastal Grill in La Quinta. read more

We discovered…read moreOceana Restaurant on the Greater Palm Springs Restaurant Week website -- the Pulpo Chicharrones caught our eye -- so we decided to check it out. Thank goodness we did. Our group started out with the above mentioned Pulpo Chicharrones. Crispy Octopus bites served with fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, and flour tortilla chips.The octopus had a charred crispy exterior that gave way to a buttery-tender interior. None of the rubbery texture that so often turns people off. For entrees, we selected the Whole Fried Huachinango (Red Snapper), 7 Oceanas (think "Spanish Chioppino"), and Pan Seared Halibut which was the special of the day. The halibut special featured a very generous pan seared filet on a bed of white wine risotto with a sesame seed veloute and asparagus. The 7 Oceanas consisted of perfectly cooked octopus, white fish, clams, mussels, shrimp, salmon, and scallop in a rich broth with tomato, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, and guajillo peppers. Served with housemade telera bread sticks to sop up the amazing broth. The snapper was deep fried to perfection leaving the skin super crispy and fleah moist and flaky. Drizzled with an adobo sauce and served with grilled sliced lemons, chayote squash and baby potatoes. Our only complaint was the snapper was not true red snapper as advertised, but rather porgy (we think). Red snapper is one of the most substituted fish and very few people in the world could tell them apart. My partner Ernie is a connoisseur, and he can. The dish was still excellent, we just wish it wasn't advertised as Huachinango. This hidden gem delivered fresh seafood, tasty cocktails with a nod to tequila and mezcal drinks crafted by owner Marco Castellanos, and friendly attentive service from Gina.

Happy Hour is 3:30-6 and there's a few dollar discount on selected food items and drinks. For appetizers, we ordered the Burrata platter and the dates. We also ordered a date burger and the following martinis: pear, pink lady, and espresso martini. This was my first time trying an espresso martini (ever) and I'm glad I waited until the end of dinner before ordering it. It's more a dessert or finishing drink. The Burrata platter was delicious and beautifully presented. The dates were good but too sweet for our tastes (yes, we are aware dates are naturally sweet, LOL). We only ate a few and saved the rest for later. The date burger and fries were delicious. The only downside was I asked for the burger to be cooked medium and it was well done. The drinks were good and beautifully presented. The ambiance and atmosphere, for this restaurant, is very upscale and unique. I will continue visiting each time I'm in La Quinta. See you soon!

Incredible pork ribs - melt in your mouth and super flavorful. The seafood ceviche was also surprisingly yummy - the sauce they created was perfect and the best part!! Salmon was good - flaky and had a unique smoky flavor. I would definitely get the chocolate mousse again - light, airy, fun consistency and it reminded me of European chocolate.

The Bulleit Sour, Spicy Margarita, Yellowtail Sashimi, Stetson Cove Oysters, Steak Tataki, Chilean Sea Bass, Lobster Mashed Potatoes, Filet Sliders, and Point Judith Calamari were all delicious. The Sea Bass was extremely tender and flaky, the Yellowtail melted in my mouth, and Stetson Cove (Hood Canal, WA) Oysters were so delicate, they dissipated with ease. The oysters were the best I've ever had. Their bread was also super delicious! Service from Audrey and staff was excellent and very personable. I was happy with the experience, but not sure I'd return.

We didn't have reservations and requested to be seated inside. There was a little awkward first impression with the hostess who told us that there was only one inside table left in the back corner. She didn't come across very friendly when we asked if we could see it before deciding if we wanted to sit there or not. I understand they were busy but she was a bit short with us. We were seated in Isabel's section and she more than made up for it. What a gem! She was so friendly and very nice. She made sure to check on us often and we had a lovely time at your restaurant because of her. We are giving this review 5 stars because of Isabel. The seared ahi tuna salad and the ahi tuna nachos were both delicious. The fish was fresh and so very tender with a light dressing. The pulled pork tacos were good too. The brownie dessert was a bit dry though.

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I feel obligated to warn others…read more My fiancé ordered a Cobb salad, which should be one of the safest, most straightforward items on any menu. Instead, she bit into a sharp chicken bone hidden in the salad--something that absolutely should never happen. This wasn't a small, soft fragment either; it was sharp enough to cause immediate, severe pain and pierced her gums. This is not just a minor oversight--it's a major failure in basic food safety and kitchen preparation. There is no excuse for serving food in this condition, especially something as simple as a salad. We trusted this restaurant to provide a safe meal, and that trust was completely broken. What makes this even worse is that the situation could have been far more dangerous. If swallowed, this could have led to choking or internal injury. No customer should ever have to worry about that when ordering a salad. I strongly urge the restaurant to take a hard look at their food prep standards and quality control, because this is unacceptable. Until then, I cannot recommend this place to anyone.
