I was really excited to try their new fish and chips as I love fish and chips. The thyme in the breading is very over powering. Not really my favorite thing on battered fish. It was actually off putting. I also got an extra fish and I like how they gave me like half a fish but covered up my 3 pieces of fish with fries so you can't see the mishap. Someone really dropped the ball on that and I got gypped. That's not cool. I haven't been to a rubios in a few years and this was not it. Don't get the fish and chips. Get something else when you go here. read more

Rubio's never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. The fish tacos are outstanding, and there are plenty of options for everyone on our team. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and service is consistently fast. Our team especially loves Taco Tuesday--it has become a favorite tradition for us. The great deals, delicious tacos, and welcoming atmosphere make it the perfect spot to enjoy lunch together and take a break from the workday. Highly recommend Rubio's for anyone looking for fresh, tasty food and an excellent dining experience! read more

The taco fillings were good, but the tortillas cold and stale. Kind of ruined it. The Limes were old and had no juice in them. Bathrooms were clean and so was the establishment but cold tortillas out of the package is not tasty. read more

Nessa was amazing and had exceptional customer service. Will be back for sure because of it!

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! read more

Great fish taco plate! We love how fresh the salsa bat and fish tacos taste. Always cooked to perfection and fresh!

I went to Rubio's today to place a takeout order. As I approached the register, the woman working there gave me a cold, unwelcoming look, didn't even say hello. Her behavior while I was ordering was blatantly rude and completely unprofessional. This isn't a one-time issue, it's the third time I've experienced the same disrespect at this location. I gave this place more chances than it deserved, expecting some level of improvement. Clearly, nothing has changed. I won't be coming back. No need to respond, I'm done! read more

Wow What a difference a couple of months makes. That last time I was here it was an amazing experience. This location is usually very nice and receptive. NOT TODAY!!! I think I disrupted a conversation with the crew, Because when a counter person came to take my order they just stared at me. I was waiting for a greeting and so I asked if everything was okay. She said yah. It's not welcoming when you just get stared at and not greeted. I kinda felt like leaving, didn't know what was going on. They seemed to be happy amongst themselves, I guess I just effed up the social aspect. Even the person who brought my food just said here ya go and walked away, I said thank you but it was to their back. I love the food here, I guess I'll find a different location. There a few left I guess read more

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. read more

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. read more

The food has always been good, but when I picked up my order customer service has deteriorated, the woman in the front counter did not even say hi or bye or a single word. I hope they train the staff better for customer service. read more

Always fresh and tasty. The salsa bar is really good too. Never had a bad plate of food from here

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 read more

Rubio's employee stated company policy is to not permit service animals in the restaurant. Advised him this is a Class 2 misdemeanor. Yes my animal is fully trained and VA certified for my 70% rated service-connected disability. Probably spit in our food since I refused to tip him for breaking the law. read more

Feeling ripped Off... I ordered a steak burrito with rice and guac, however, what I got was mostly a "RICE" Burrito with flavorless dried steak and almost non-existent guacamole! I even asked the cashier how old their steak was prior to ordering and I was "assured" it was fresh! Spent about $18 with a drink! I could have gotten a REAL MEAL elsewhere for that price! Save your money skip this place for sure! No I do not recommend... read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Rice Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

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). read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Bean & Cheese Burrito. And of course I got a Warm Cinnamon Churro - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Ok, it was easy to order and the food was brought out not slow. downhill from there. my friend and i ordered the fish taco plate with refried beans, which cost extra. the fish in the tacos was soggy in a slop of mayo, bland with no flavor. the corn tortilla was cold. the beans came in a miniscule little cup and were the blandest beans ive ever had. my hubs got the shrimp taco plate. soggy, 3 shrimp (tiny) per taco. never, ever again. read more

Staff is super RUDE. Didn't know taking someone's order was the most annoying, inconvenient task. Also, gross watching an employee make your overpriced food with her ENTIRE a** crack out 0/10 recommend read more

I must say I was pleasantly surprised with my Rubio's experience! We ordered online: California bowl with chicken, mango wild caught mahi mahi tacos (blackened) with a side of Mexican street corn and citrus rice, cinnamon churro, and chocolate chunk cookie. I also added a TON of salsas: roasted chipotle, picante, mild, and tomatillo. Picking up our order was nice and easy, we skipped the long line and picked up at front. I was pleasantly surprised that our order was correct and all 10-12 salsas I ordered were included! Such a simple thing to be pleased about but I can't tell you how many pickup orders I've had that has been missing something. Bf enjoyed his California bowl. It was nice and big, bigger than Chipotle! It was more rice than chicken but tbh that happens at Chipotle/most restaurants. The mahi mahi tacos were fresh! The mahi mahi was a bit on the smaller side and the sizes weren't consistent in both tacos. I enjoyed the sweet touch of mango and there was a good scoop of avo! The citrus rice was not anything special; tbh it just tasted like white rice. The Mexican street corn (aka elote) was a bit charred but I appreciate that it was grilled in the first place! Too many places boil the elote and it doesn't get that grilled taste. Don't skimp on the salsa!! The salsas are probably the best fast food/restaurant chain salsa I've ever had! There is a variety of salsas! I liked the tomatillo salsa best. I am thoroughly confused as to why the churro was so flattened; it was placed on top of our food so it wasn't crushed. I didn't love it for that reason but bf seemed to enjoy it. The chocolate chunk cookie was individually packaged so they are not made in store. It was a good cookie. For being a chain, I like Rubio's! Our experience was pleasant and the food was good. I foresee Rubio's in my future! read more

Gross!! Big long dark hair inside my burrito. Should have seen this coming since no one in the kitchen cooking the food was wearing any hair nets or even a hat. Just letting their long hair dangle over the prep table. Probably won't be returning even though I love their salsa read more

I have to say the food is always good here! Fresh and cooked properly. Unfortunately, they are extremely shorthanded in staff . So your order takes a long time to be prepared. Although, it is good, you must be prepared to wait for a while . Pack your patience and be kind. They are trying to hire more people. The dining area is kind of a mess and there were no napkins out anywhere. However, that all goes back to not having enough people to work. Lots of Parking in the lot. You will find Rubio's located inside the shopping center, facing South. read more

This location had a good size crowd on a Wednesday evening. If you can it may be best to order ahead by using the brand new Rubio's app. This location has the same great quality food that you'll get at any other Rubio's location. If you've never had Rubio's, it's always great to try their seasonal dish. Currently the seasonal dish is the Smoky Oaxacan Shrimp. It's available in a bowl, burrito, or street tacos. I got the street tacos this time around. The tacos are amazing and I like to pair them with the chipotle salsa that is available at the toppings bar. My only complaint is that they didn't have any plastic forks available for to-go orders. This was only because they had ran out for the day. read more

This is the most disgustingly filthy restaurant I have ever been to. The bathroom is a disgrace! The floor is dirty, the tables are sticky...there is zero excuse! There is zero leadership or accountability at this place. I don't need to get a fake response to say that "we strive for the best customer service" as that is just simply not true. The health department needs to come and close this place down. Bad! Stay away! Response to the manager's response: if you want to make our next visit better, close down for two full days and deep clean your place. The cleanliness and condition ia embarrassing! Clean! No need for me to contact you! Grab a mop and bleach! read more

The air conditioning in this place is either out or on its last leg. I dined in and SWEAT the entire time. Their ice machine is also broken and sounds like an A380 is trying to take off in the restaurant. The employees were prompt, friendly, and definitely working hard despite the temperature in the building. However, My food was served on a paper plate (not typical for rubios) and their salsa bar was closed. I would recommend going to one of the many other places nearby that offer a habitable dining experience in the AZ heat. read more

I have been going to this Rubios for a few years now. Started to see a decline in service over the 2023. A few eeks ago they ran out of food and we all had to wait until the manager returned with tortias he purchased at walmart across the parking lot. Today they got my order wrong again and the steak bowl had no steak in it. Brad R will probably responded with his canned response which tells me they dont really care. Hopefully they replace it with a better food place. read more

Dear Brad R. "Business manager", if you truly cared about the satisfaction of your guests and condition on your Rubio's location you would clean the place up. Many customer have been saying the same things for months as you can see on your reviews yet no action has been taken. Wake up and clean this disgusting store. I lost my appetite while eating here because it was disgusting. The problem here is a lack of training and management and total laziness. There is dust falling off the walls and grime built up every where you turn in this place. I realize you are probably going to reply with a copy and paste with a link but don't even bother. Instead, please get in a car and go to this restaurant yourself and have a meal here.. maybe then you'd realize and see for yourself how terribly gross this place is. read more

Friday November 18th. 8 people On shift, yet the wait and service was trash. The store smelled like sewer near the soda machines. All staff except for one of the girls that was working, need people skills. I will not visit this store again read more

This location gets busy at lunch time .. they have plenty of inside and patio seating.. Check the boards as you walk in for specials .. that's where the good stuff is advertised .. I usually have the fish or shrimp tacos but today the pic for their new bowls caught my eye .. I had the avocado mango quinoa bowl with the grilled shrimp (the shrimps extra $) .. it came out in a huge bowl and was really good .. a little bit of green tomatillo salsa helped dress the salad greens under the quinoa .. The food is consistent with this chain and this location never disappoints read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Avocado mango shrimp quinoa bowl .. ($9.59 with shrimp) very good - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

So it's been a couple of months since I ate at this restaurant and gave the food a great review. The big complaint was the dirty, sticky tables. Today, not really busy. Took a look around. So many dirty tables, crumbs etc. My taco came in a small paper plate. When done, I pick it up to take to trash and it's literally stuck to the table! Half of the paper just stuck right on table. Disappointed and disgusted. I'm not going to suggest they clean, they need to scrape down the gunk on the tables! This is such a gross dining experience. read more

The quesadilla is decent but very lacking in quantity of ingredients and not worth the price. The burritos are also not very tasty as their "citrus rice" is off-putting. Should be more shrimp in the shrimp tacos. The fish tacos are where it's at! Both the reg and especial fish tacos are the best things here. read more

Ordered a family meal from this location and it was great. For whatever reason the meal I wanted wasn't available to order online (I got the enchilada meal...only the burrito & taco ones were available online), but it was easy to place my order over the phone). I called in around 3 to pick-up at 3:45 and they were just finishing packing it up as I walked in. Everything was packed nicely. Not only were there plates and plasticware, but also plastic serving utensils. The meal came in one big easy to carry container w/10 enchiladas (we did 5 cheese & 5 chicken), beans (choice of black or pinto) & rice (citrus or Mexican). Everything tasted delicious and was still warm when I got home w/it. The meals also some w/chips and salsa. This was plenty of food for 5 people. read more

It's been years since I've given this chain a chance, and I'm glad I did. Burritos are generous, chips are crisp, and the salsa is tasty

Got a shrimp burrito and it had NO shrimp. Called and was basically argued with over the phone that my burrito did have shrimp in it .. I'm flabbergasted read more

I came in for my birthday free meal. The cashier (Bryson) was particularly helpful. A meal is always just a bit better when the employees seem to be enjoying their job. I ordered the Baja Combo plate. A burrito, a fish taco and beans/chips side. This location seems to be a notch better at the size of the burrito. I generally substitute black beans for both the side and on the burrito. It was as tasty as always, but I find I need to add some of their salsa to add to the general flavor. As a side note, Rubios picante salsa is terrible, however all of the other fresh made salad are enjoyable. I came with a friend, and the food was more than enough to split for lunch. Its location is convenient for parking, but it is busy and can take a few minutes to get the fresh made food. read more
