This one is located at The Outlets of Orange (also known as The Block). They have Taco Tuesday specials as seen in my pictures. The service is swift, and the staff is friendly. Plenty of seating. The dining area was bright and tidy. The food was fresh and tasty. Their protein to veggie ratio is not balanced. I think an increase in their protein would make the food even better. read more

I placed an online order for pickup at Rubio's, and unfortunately this visit was a letdown. My daughter wanted her usual Cali Steak Burrito -- it's normally one of our favorites, honestly one of the best Cali burritos we've tried. But this time... big disappointment. If you know what a Cali burrito is supposed to be, you know exactly what I mean. This one looked like it was missing half its fillings. It was noticeably smaller, lacking that hearty, satisfying fullness we expect. My daughter even asked, "Where's the rest of the burrito?" And honestly, I was wondering the same thing. We usually have great experiences here, which makes this one even more frustrating. Hoping this was just an off day, but it definitely wasn't worth what we paid. read more

I hadn't been to Rubio's in a long time since unfortunately they've closed the location close to my home, but today I was able to enjoy this location... The restaurant was very clean and even though they appeared to be short staff, the young lady who took my order was busy multi-tasking by taking everybody's orders and bringing their food to the tables... She was very pleasant to deal with and apologetic at times! I'm glad I listened to her recommendation on the two different bowls I ordered because they were very tasty! When she asked me if I wanted to order anything to drink and I told her no, she offered to give me a cup, in case I wanted to get some water, and even though I didn't get any, I really appreciated the offer... If I'm ever in the area again, for sure, I'll be back to try other items off of their menu!! read more

Located in The Outlets of Orange. It was a decent spot to grab a quick lunch. It was quick to order and get the food. There is a salsa bar inside, which was great to try a few different sauces. For my order, I got the surf & turf bowl. It was a delicious and healthy option! For seating, there's plenty of spots inside and outside as well. The staff were kind enough to bring the order outside once ready. American Express is accepted here. read more

We went to Rubio's and ordered two burritos and guacamole. Unfortunately, my fiancé found an avocado sticker, a chunk of avocado skin, and the stem (the brown nub from the end of the avocado) inside his burrito. I calmly asked to speak with a manager so I could show what was found. A team leader came out, apologized, and said they needed to speak to their boss -- and then never came back. After waiting, the front cashier pointed at us and asked, "Are you the ones with the burrito?" When I said yes, he responded with "Sorry, I'll talk to the kitchen people," and that was it. No follow-up. No manager. No resolution. It honestly felt like we were being avoided and brushed off. Mistakes can happen, but finding foreign objects in food is a serious issue, and the lack of concern or accountability afterward was extremely disappointing. The way this was handled showed a complete lack of care for customer safety and experience. This was truly unacceptable, and I won't be returning read more

My friend took me here. Because this was one of her favorite places to eat. I wasn't familiar with the food here. So she ordered the 3 taco deal. Because she said that its good. All three tasted delicious. But the shrimp taco was the best. Omg. I got water for drinks. Because I drink water over anything else. I was supplied with a nice little plastic cup. Water was probably tab. But it tasted good, nice and cold. Overall great experience here. read more

I love that there's a location here at The Outlets of Orange...aka The Block. There are a lot of new restaurants here now, but I will still usually choose Rubio's to dine while here. I absolutely love their classic steak, chicken, and fish tacos. All of their sides are really good too, especially their guacamole & chips! And don't forget to save room for a churro! read more

Walking and shopping makes you feel a little hungry. We had dinner plans for later, so we decided to get something quick before then. We were debating on a pretzel or taco. The sign in the window for an advertised special caught our eye. For the same price as a pretzel, we got a taco, chips, salsa, half a churro, and a drink. Fish taco was nice and crispy. Staff was nice, but busy doing other things upon entering. Seating inside and outdoors. read more

Loved coming here for lunch haven't been here in a really long time. The one in Brea closed down, I was so sad. Actually thank you to Roselia for reminding me about Rubio's. So ordered the gourmet tacos and the kids chicken plate came with a drink too. The girl who took our order was nice no smile lol but that's ok. She took our order quickly and we got our food fast! It was delicious I haven't had the gourmet tacos in so long! Thank you for our delicious meal and fast and good service. They have inside and outside seating. Chose to sit outside there was a gorgeous breeze coming through. It felt amazing to be outside and have a delicious lunch. Have a beautiful day :) Aloha read more

Fast, friendly service. They have an under $10 menu with varied choices. I had the taco trio. Just right. My daughter had their steak fries and said they were delicious. Moderate pricing. We love their salsa bar that includes chopped onions, spicy carrots, lemons, and limes. Located in the middle (food court) of The Block Outlets in Orange. read more

This Rubio's location is tucked in an outdoor food court at the block of Orange. I went on a Taco Tuesday and ordered 4 tacos - chicken, carne asada, fish, and fish w avocado taco. I also ordered a margarita which came in a can. As I sat down and waited for my food, I noticed the AC was running probably 80-82 degrees, it was hot! My food came in 10 mins. Chicken and carne asada are mediocre, fish tacos are the only tacos that are worth to eat imo. My experience here was just average, hopefully you can crank up the AC next time. Fish tacos are good but we need good AC so my sweat don't drip down on the tacos! read more

Man! I was so disappointed. I walked in on a Wednesday as we were waiting for our movie to start. Upon walking in, the place was a bit messy as I am assuming customers just left and the salsa bar looked like it needed some help. I decided to get shrimp tacos, but they were out! Out of the batter and out of the shrimp. They were out of most of the meats besides chicken. I ordered the mexican street corn bowl with chicken, it came out within 20 minutes and it was extremely salty! Not sure if they were rushing as there were other people waiting way before us for their food! I usually enjoy rubios, I think today was just a off day for staff and the establishment. Hopefully when we visit again it'll be a better turn out! read more

Terrible service. I ordered online for food delivery at 11:50 am. After waiting for 2 hours the DoorDash delivery guy couldn't find the address said it was 20 miles away when it was only 2 miles. I spoke with the manager after driving to the restaurant for a refund and didn't even apologized for the bad service. Skip this place its not worth your time or money. Horrible customer service Avoid at all cost!!' read more

Do not come here unless you want to be given attitude by a worker who has red hair who has had "a long day." My wife came in to pickup an online order and was helped by this associate with red hair. My wife had placed her order 30 minutes prior so the food was on the window ready to get picked up. She asked the girl with red hair if she could also get a side of tortillas because she was planning on transferring her meal to fresh hot tortillas rather than the ones that came with the meal that were probably cold by now. She paid for the tortillas and then the red hair girl looked around for my wife's order aimlessly (even though the order was right in front of her). She couldn't find it so she proceeded to get the manager, meanwhile another girl jumped to the register and promptly found the order (again, it was right in front of the window counter, kudos to the second girl for finding the order that was RIGHT in front of the window counter). Red haired girl came out with the manager and saw the order was found. My wife then asks for the side of tortillas that the red haired girl charged her for when she originally came in to pick up the order. The red haired girl proceeded to make a stank face and my wife told her "why are you getting mad" and she replies with "because you are fucking annoying." This whole interaction happened while the manager was standing next to them. The manager told the red haired girl to go to the back and he proceeded to help my wife out. He gave ZERO reassure that there was going to be any type of disciplinary action for the way this red haired girl talked to my wife. All he could say is "she has had a long day." Let me tell yah, I work retail too and I have long days every day, heck I had worked a 6am-5pm shift the day all this happened (today). I would never treat any guest the way that my wife got treated and I would have immediately given this red haired girl a write up or put her on a final for disciplinary reasons. Worst part about it all is my wife is pregnant and works at the mall and Rubio's is one of her go to spots because that's all that she can eat. Now this established has been ruined for her and she no longer feels safe entering here. Do yourself a favor and do not come here. I am soooo upset I had to leave a review, not only on google reviews but also on yelp, nasty work. read more

Placed an online order and food was ready a few minutes prior to the time promised which is always good... ordered a steak Mexican street corn bowl and everything was yummy, minus the rice being a little stale and crunchy in my bowl The inside is pretty small and got crowded quickly, but their outdoor seating is nice too, no major complaints read more

The tacos here are really great! I got the Original Fish Taco Two Taco Plate and it was so delicious. The fish was huge and the corn tortillas was very tasty. I picked chips and Mexican rice as my side. The chips were a bit stale and needed a little more salt. I also think they accidentally gave me white rice instead of Mexican rice since the rice color was white instead of orange. The main star was the fish taco and I would definitely recommend to get them. The staff here was also nice and friendly when I came to pick up the order. They gave their full attention to the customers. read more

It's funny how we keep end up eating here, when hubby said it's his least favorite of the fast/casual/mexican spots (Chipotle/Baja Fresh/Zaba's). (Is it funny that we always stop at Orange solely for the Lindt?) I really didn't want anything heavy and the kids meal is just the right size for me; comes with a drink, two sides, and you can select your own salsa too. I got the chicken bowl (cubed cut chicken over rice) and hubby got the quesadilla. Surprised about the fries (seasoned), but that's a nice surprise. A nice selection of drinks at the fountain drink section, as well as two different tea drinks available too. (Oddly, our son wanted Charley's cheese steak sandwich instead of his favorite, kids meal; nine times out of ten, he'd get a chicken bowl.) Has inside seating and outside seating (pretty sizeable) as well. We have eaten outside a bunch of times, over the years. Always a solid meal here, for me, anyway. Always busy around lunch time. read more

Another pretty solid Rubio's. Manager was very friendly. Better than the Anaheim and Yorba Linda ones.

Food is always great in Rubios and that is why came to eat the one in the Block Mall. We arrived around 7:25pm the girl at the counter has unusual name on her name tag I wonder why. As soon we ordered she let us know the order has to be to go. We always like to eat right away because of the taste of the food. Then a man asked me if I needed help while I was waiting for food. I asked if we can seat out doors to eat. He didn't like my idea. He mentioned that they have to leave by 7:55pm. I wonder how they would leave early if the restaurant closing time is at 8pm. The business owner should be aware what kind of business he trusting someone to run. Then we went next to Panda Express who let us use heir out door area and enjoyed our food. Ambiance of Rubio's was in welcoming. read more

I noticed that your location is supposed to close at 8 PM. I arrived at 7:15 PM, and as soon as I walked in, the cashier informed me that food was only available for takeout, despite there being 15-20 people dining in. When I asked why, she said the kitchen wasn't working. I don't understand how that affects customers who want to sit down and eat a meal. If the kitchen isn't functioning properly, how are you still serving food? Additionally, the restrooms were closed, yet I saw employees going in and out. Lastly, there were no salsas on display for customers. Update: food came out cold and we never received our guacamole we paid for. read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - The Coastal Trio - Mexican Near Me - Orange, California

Never heard if this place before but certainly glad I decided to give it a try when looking for a light tasty lunch. I ordered two shrimp build your own taco kids meal which was the exact portion size I needed. It comes with a choice of fries, chips, rice or beans. I opted for the fries and chips so I can save and munch on later. The grill shrimp is flavorful and tender and pairs nicely with the fresh shredded cabbage and cheese. The flour tortillas is served warmed wrapped in foil. The warmth and softness of it almost made me want to eat it by itself. So good! The fries is lightly seasoned thick cut and tender kinda like steak fries but not quite as thick. Nice compliment with the shrimp. The chip are thin with a nice crunch which I prefer. It can be hard to find good quality healthy yet fast Mexican food. This covered all bases. Many vegetarian options too. I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again. Actually looking forward to it. Prices are reasonable, service was fast and friendly. Restaurant is clean as I watched the ladies quickly wiping down tables and throwing away any trash left behind. Offers indoors and outdoor seating. Highly recommend this place. read more

Great location at Outlets of Orange. Plenty of seating indoors and out. The shrimp tacos were delicious. Flavorful with just the right amount of kick based on your preference. Vegetables were fresh, shrimp was juicy. Try the shrimp taco trio. Look for special deals throw out the week. Combos came with beans and chips. Always filling when you're hungry. Service was fast and friendly. Love it here. read more

Located in the middle of the food court area. RUBIOS offers a healthier solution to patrons who shop and work nearby. They do offer fresh food which I have tried for 2 days straight. The chips on the sides are mehhh tho. They do offer table service. Seatings are somewhat tight and close. The restrooms were coded but clean. It's a simple 3.6 out of 5. Will eat here again. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for a quick bite to eat before going to the movies. It wasn't too busy, but there were some people enjoying their meals when we arrived. Service was pretty good and we didn't have to wait too long for our food. I always love filling up at the salsa bar at Rubio's and this one's was pretty clean and well stocked. My boyfriend got a shrimp burrito and I got their shrimp tacos. We had a good and easy meal here sitting at the high counter. read more

Ordered the Mango avocado salad and got to work and saw they forgot to add the mangos, quinoa, sliced avocado but instead got guacamole, tortilla chips, and lemon agave balsamic vinaigrette. They must have thought I ordered the California bowl but not correct. On top of that the protein that I got was fish and the size of it compared to the rest in the bowl is not worth it as it was also dry! read more

This is my first time at Rubio's. I got the Fish Taco Plate it came with refried beans and tortilla chips The tortilla chips were OK they were a bit stale, the refried beans were actually really good but it was very hot and in plastic, they don't add enough salt to the beans though, the fish tacos are great, in it was fried fish, cabbage, and tartar sauce, there was more breading then fish though. The service was good, they were very patient. The ambiance was good there was a bunch of posters/paintings of their food. The salsas and hot sauces were mid, more spicy than flavor. read more

The worst service ever and the food portion of my salad was RIDICULOUS! I asked the server if he could take it back and add a little bit more lettuce because it was very evident that it was not the regular portion. I get these salads weekly and they are never like this with little lettuce! He told me flat out NO! This place was also very dirty! The utensils were all gone and the salsa bar was depleted and food all over area of the salsa bar. I ended up having to purchase another chicken chopped salad in order to get the right portion! Please see pictures attached. My friends salad had a decent amount of salad mine did not. read more

I wanted to try the new beer battered shrimp Taco plate, Only 3 heavily battered shrimp per Taco. We also ordered the Original Fish Taco plate. EVERYTHING was Ice Cold!! And tasted like it was leftover from yesterday. The restaurant is barely 15 min away; I have ordered from here before & food was still hot. So no quality control today? Rice dry, cold & hard like it was days old. Large Mexican corn barely half full. Way too much creme, corn too burnt to have flavor. Had to deconstruct everything to heat up shrimp,fish rice & beans. Very disappointed & will not be ordering from here again. Even with using Rewards for corn; this costs OVER $34!!! SMH. read more

Let me start by saying that Rubio's is absolutely delicious and a healthier alternative to many fast food establishments. I work nearby so I love coming here. I came the day after Christmas and for some reason the Block was absolutely slammed. Rubio's had a line waiting to order, despite the line the manager was extremely professional and courteous. Nothing but high notes for her. My only issue with this location, maybe due to it be a high traffic and high tourist area is that I always feel like I get inconsistent amounts of protein. Other stand alone locations will always give you more protein. Great spot nonetheless. read more
