    California steak burrito
    Amber G.

    I don't eat here often, but when I do I am always happy. I like getting the fish trio so I get a little bit of each, original fish-shrimp-mahi mahi. It's nice to get one of each. My hubs got the California steak burrito and I loved it! The French fries in the burrito added nice crisp and flavor. So many salsa choices!

    Island bide with shrimp add pinto beans. Jose recommends Tomatillo and Jalapeño citrus ‍ hot sauce. You should sell. jose is the man / saucieer.

    The wall when you walk in has the history of Rubios! Super cool story!

    This is one of our favorite places to go eat fish and shrimp tacos!! A must try are: Shrimp Gourmet Taco, Fish Especial Taco California Bowl Chips with Guacamole They have a fresh salsa bar with a good variety of distant salsas! Definitely recommend Rubios!

    Half hour before close and BEFORE we got our meal. Young man started cleaning up the salsa bar. I asked him to wait for our food to arrive before doing that and he said that he had to close it but they had more salsa behind the counter. When I told him I can't go behind the counter to get it he showed indifference. When we asked him to please wait - because they don't close for another half hour he said, but we Pre-Close I tell you what - if I heard an employee do that it would be the last night they worked for me. Shortly thereafter, has started cleaning up. He left the salsa from behind the counter, sitting on the main register counter, unguarded and dump the salsa bar into the main salsa containers from behind the counter, and then walked away, clear health code, violations, with no regard for health and food safety. Music was nice and volume ok. Chicken was dry when it finally came.

    I came here to redeem a reward and ordered the chicken Baja bowl. I got my order home and saw there wasn't guacamole on or in it as ordered. It was such a bummer to find this out because I always look forward to the guac in this bowl. Other than that, the bowl was par for the course.

    My mahi mahi tacos

    The food was pretty good I got the mango mahi mahi fish tacos and it was really sweet, juicy and just pretty good, not the best but certainly not the worst. Would go again. The only thing is that my dad found a hair in his shrimp burrito and when he asked about it the kind lady went to go remake it. The customer service is amazing very friendly and my dad got a new burrito

    Bean & Cheese Burrito. And of course I got a Warm Cinnamon Churro

    Waste of time and money. Came here after work to grab my girlfriend dinner but that was a mistake. I should have known things weren't going to end well when I was told it would be a 20 minute wait but I order food anyway. 5-8 minutes after ordering in store I decide since I had to wait I might as well order myself something, so I did (on the app). Well 20 minutes goes by and what do you know, my mobile order is done but not my in store purchase. When I asked the employee where my food was he had no idea and didn't seem to care. The manager on duty also didn't care as she proceeded to process orders and avoid eye contact. Their resolution was for me to keep waiting and they'd eventually get to it. After nearly 40 minutes of waiting I finally received my food (unfortunately by that time my other order had gotten cold).

    Pier 88 Boiling Seafood is our go-to seafood boil restaurant in the Valley. We regularly dine at…read morethe one in Tolleson, but found ourselves in Mesa today and were in the mood for seafood boil. This location is a much nicer facility and in a better area than the one in Tolleson. The menu is consistent too, which made it easy for us to order our favorites. I hope you get Gigi as your server as she is very pleasant, friendly and checks on you regularly. However, the two (2) greeters at the hostess stand are a different story. It is obvious neither of them like their jobs and just come in to punch a clock. It would be nice if they at least made eye contact with the customers before they have you follow them to the table they have picked out for you. Smile? . . . that's out of the question, too. We determined by the expressions on their faces their parents probably told them since they graduated from high school they aren't going to sit around the house doing nothing all day so this must the the place they applied to.

    After driving by this place many times on our way to nearby Dink & Dine, my daughter and I decided…read moreto give it a try. We are fans of the local competitor and wanted to see how this one compared. TLDR: the other one is better! We each ordered the Famous Low Country Boil - mine with lemon pepper sauce and my daughter with the 88 Special, a combo of all the sauces. She went with no spice and I went with mild. We also ordered a bowl of rice. We did enjoy what we had but it seemed heavier than what we are used to. We were not big fans of the sausage mixed in and our service was fine, but not amazing. We were also disappointed that there were not scissors offered to help get the meat out of the crab / lobster - we really had to work for it! On a positive note, we did make good use of the wet wipes that were given to us as well as our bibs and gloves. It is quite a messy meal and note that I learned the hard way: don't wear white if you're planning on ordering any kind of seafood boil! Pricing is similar to the competitor. Ambiance is chill but not as fun. I would not rush back, but I also would return with reasonable expectations.

Being the desert, the quality of Seafood is important, since we are nowhere near seawater and the reputable Chula Seafood is here to serve us, desert dwellers, well. TUNA MELT- it's refreshing to have a tuna sandwich that is not canned tuna. There is a chimichiri sauce that you can get to drizzle on it that really gives a depth of flavor. The bread was a nice sourdough that was not just a cheap white bread and did not get soggy. However, with my sandwich, the bread was burnt so that bitterness ruined the flavor of the delicate fish. My pictures shows a few burnt spots, but on the bottom side was way more burnt and it was like they put the most burnt side on the bottom to hide it and hope I didn't notice. I did not appreciate this. CLAM CHOWDER- creamy and more on the fluid consistency, being made with fresh clams makes the difference. Not the best chowder i've had, but was pretty decent. The fish variety can vary with seasons, but it is nice to get different choices throughout the year. There are limited offerings here compared to the bigger location across town, as far as menu and fish selection. But for a small store it is a good place to get some quality seafood to take home or sit and eat. Check out the great happy hour deals
