Langostino Lobster Burrito with a side of chips Strawberry Fresca Drink
Joel S.

You gotta try this limited time menu item! The langostino lobster burrito, sooo good! Comes with a side of chips. You can also get it in a bowl and in a taco as well. Has langostino lobster, citrus rice, black or pinto beans, guacamole, and salsa fresca all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. Really good flavor, not spicy at all. Try before its off the menu, it's only for a limited time! Drink choice, i recommend the Strawberry Hibiscus Agua Fresca. It's not too sweet which i like! Service was great! I was greeted when I walked in and the young cashier helped me with my order. I showed up just before the lunch rush came in.

Frozen margarita from the happy hour menu

Great time I took my mom she's 88 years old ,last Friday and there was a live rock band outside. Seating area even had cooling mist which was very nice because it was a hot day. We ordered off of the happy hour menu for drinks and then we ordered the chicken shrimp and steak fajitas. It was a birthday party that was going on while we were there and everyone's having a great time my mom really enjoyed it. I'll be back soon. It's a great way to spend a Friday evening in the spring and summer months of California as for my mom she really had a great time and enjoyed casual conversation with some of the other people outside. The waiters were friendly and accommodating.

The staff was very kind and helpful, the restaurant and salsa bar were very clean, and my daughter enjoyed her kids meal. The food came out quickly and seems fresh.

Lobster tacos beans and rice

Its been awhile since I've eaten here, very first experience wasn't good, its been over a decade, so my wife says let's give it a try because there doing fish sandwiches, so here we are, ok the fish sandwich was really good, don't look like the picture but what does, the fish was crunchy and flaky not greasy at all, I got sweetness from the bun and a nice creamy crunch from the red cabbage coleslaw. Avocado tomatillo slaw, the Spanish rice was not hard, the rice was soft and tasted good, the beans seem fresh but a little bit more salt, no big deal I added my own, the lobster tacos where really good, no complaints, my wife had the sweet potato tacos and it was so very hot, she likes spicy but she couldn't finish, tacos where so HOT, overall I would come back and give it a go again, blessings

I've been going to Rubio's for 20+ years as my family used to work for them many years ago, and I have to give a lot of credit to the Asian lady manager (possible owner?) of this location... she is always SO friendly and energetic which is great to see and feel... and to boot, their food comes out amazingly quick and fresh... I literally had fish tacos burn my tongue the last time I was there, it was nuts! The only knock on this place is that it's pretty small , and the parking lot really sucks... but as far as the restaurant, food, and service goes... 10 stars for sure!

Quick and easy. Best to go on a tuesday because they have deals all day. Lunch menu is cheaper too on other days up until 2pm. The food was served pretty quick. Also, they got a salsa bar so that's not too bad. Quick and easy too. Not bad :)

Great flavors wonderful service, as well as a clean and enjoyable experience!…read more Chile verde wet burrito was really good. Carne Asada wet also very good. Salsa is one of my main barometers of good Mexican food and the roasted tomato and chile salsa was perfect!

Went here for lunch because my sister had been wanting to try it for a while…read more Parking is a little weird because it's shared with a 7/11 convenience store and some spots are specifically reserved for 7/11. Still, I was able to find a spot quickly. Walking in, there's a sign that says "Wait to be seated", but when the waitress came out, she said we could sit wherever we wanted. We chose a booth by the window. I don't know how old this restaurant is, but I could tell that the booth we chose was really popular because the leather seats were so worn down that they had to patch some of the holes up. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately given menus, water, chips, and salsa. The salsa was really spicy, though, so as much as we love chips and salsa and would normally have finished it all off before our actual meal came, we could only eat half of it. Across from us was a big family of Latinos which for me was a good sign. After all, if they're Latino themselves, they could easily just make the same food at home, but if the food here was good enough for them to come here instead, then the food had to be decent. Since I'm vegetarian, I had to ask for them to not put meat in my enchilada, so the waitress just made it a cheese one. If you're vegetarian like me, there's not really much on the menu for us, but at least they're accommodating enough to leave the meat out if you ask. If you're vegan, you're really out of luck since it seems everything will have at least melted cheese on top. All of the food came out quickly and at the same time, which is appreciated since not all restaurants do that. In addition, the portions were big enough for us to eat most of it there, then be full enough to want to take the rest of it home, which makes up for the cost since it is a little expensive. Again, I don't know how old the restaurant is, but you could tell it's been aged through the years, like the paint is peeling off or splattered with what looked like salsa. Definitely a hole in the wall kind of place. On the other hand, if it's been around long enough to go through that kind of wear and tear, it's a testament to the loyalty of its customers. Plus, they do try to make it look nice with balloons, flowers, and flags. And they try to clean up the tables as soon as people are done eating. I just finished eating my leftovers and it tasted as good as it did when I ate it at the restaurant. So the food is good, the sizes, especially for the cost, are decent. Just know that the place is a little worn down, but the employees try their best to smile, be friendly, and quick to attend to your needs.

Oh boy was this place freakin' great! Ambience: This place…read morewas small but mighty. Super-clean all the way down to the toilet. Very nicely decorated with a great outdoor patio. Wait Staff: I wish I took the name of our waitress because she was awesome, funny and knowledgeable about the menu. All waiters/waitresses were great. Drinks: Unfortunately I didn't get any drinks because we kept seeing the brightly colored drinks and flights being served around us and I was jealous, they all looked awesome. Food: This is where it gets good because the food was A+++mazing. We started off with just the salsa, chips and for a nice surprise, some warm beans. The salsa brought a tear to my eye because it was soooo good. Luckily, my son doesn't eat salsa so I drank it all down. The chips were perfectly fresh and crispy. Guac: So, our waitress brought us some off the menu guac, and, WTF, why are they hiding this recipe from the rest of the world. I literally got into a fist fight with my son because he was trying to take it from me (not really) but I didn't want to share. The presentation was so cute too. Plantains + chips + guac = heavan Fajitas: I ordered fajitas and all boxes were checked, quantity, quality, and taste. I ordered the chicken and it was juicy and thick and perfectly seasoned. Steak tacos: My kid ordered the steak tacos and we brokered a deal to trade some steak for chicken and this was the best deal made since the New Deal (American history). Steak was chunky and juicy and fresh! The only problem with this place is that it is very far from my house as I was in the 'hood for my kids basketball tournament. If I am in the area you better believe that I will be back. Oh yeah, and very affordable for the upscale dining.

Once I called them to let them know they messed up my order but no one spoke English, I got a translator and they told the translator they didn't mess up. Tonight when I ordered I was trying to eye the order as they made it so food didn't get wasted. I seen a similar order and reminded the cook to not put onions and he told me the order wasn't mine. I said sorry and stepped back. The man taking my order was laughing and told me to calm down. I mean it's not really funny when you're spending $15 for a meal that you aren't going to eat and have to be reminding them something that's on the paper. When it was my turn to get my food he decided to have conversations about me in Spanish to other customers and was laughing. My mood was turned off. I come here 1-2 times a week. I don't feel like being taunted because I don't speak Spanish. I told the man at the register I didn't appreciate what he was doing and also told him I won't be coming back. Going as far as making jokes about someone just trying to grab some food after a long day and just wants a right order for once is not okay. Now reading other comments the tall guy at the register is rude and clearly lacks proper customer service skills.
