    Cilantro Lime Chicken Bowl
    Jen N.

    We were craving Rubio's, as it has been a while. A favorite is the Cilantro Lime Chicken Bowl. Tried the California Burrito this time. Cilantro Lime Chicken Bowl was decent. I liked the cauliflower, and the mild Lime flavor. My husband was disappointed that the Lime flavor was not stronger. California Burrito was really good. I would definitely recommend this one. It was messy and tasted good. The tortilla chips were cold. I would prefer them to be warmed, as there is more flavor. This visit was just okay. Service was good though.

    It's has been years since I have eaten Rubio's. A dine and donate type fundraiser put Rubio's back on my radar. Rubio's hosts dine and donate fundraisers for schools and non-profit organizations. Food was prepared quickly. We paid at the register, and the food was brought to our table. Everything tasted and looked fresh. Bowl with quinoa and rice are surprisingly filling. Avocado was ripe. Chicken had a nice char to it. Nachos are well topped. Burritos come with chips and salsa. Children's meals come with an entree, two sides, and a drink. Children's bean and cheese burrito was stuffed. Several taco deals on Tuesdays. Self-serve salsa bar. Salsas range from the very mild to hot! Several salsa varieties to choose from... or choose them all. Salsas all looked and tasted fresh. There was also cilantro with chopped onions, peppers, and limes. Fast casual with pictures that have a Baja Mexico or surf vibe. Seating is available inside, as well as on the patio. There is plenty of shared parking. An app is available to order from. The app also allows members to earn points from their purchases towards free food.

    I feel odd writing a review of a fast food place but I had a really great experience at this Rubio's. One, I like that Rubio's has mexican rice and not just the cilantro lime stuff that every other fast food mexican place has. I'm a picky eater, to put it mildly. I ordered a burrito from Rubio's. They don't have the burrito I ordered on the menu because I have to customize things to what I will eat. The man taking my order found a great way to ring up what I wanted without overcharging me and he made sure the people in the kitchen made it correctly. My burrito was delicious. I will absolutely come back to Rubio's!

    Super clean entryway!

    I have no idea why people are rating Rubio's just 1-star. I mean, if you don't like seafood or Mexican food - then why in the world are you eating at Rubio's? I've eaten here numerous times and I've also ordered here for delivery many times. The food is always fresh & my orders have always been perfect. If I don't want salsa - there's no salsa. If I prefer a taco with no avocado - there's no avocado. I'm not quite sure how or why I would rate them lower? Plenty of ample parking. The parking lot, the entryway and the seating area is super clean. The employees always greet me when I enter which is great. I don't need anyone to be my BFF as they're taking my order. I don't know what some reviewers a mean when they say the employees aren't friendly? You butthurt 'cuz you ain't invited over to the manager's house for BBQ this weekend? They greeted you. They took your order. WTF else do you want? lololol. I have no issues recommending Rubio's to my friends, family and fellow Yelp'ers!

    Had phenomenal service cashier was super nice and restaurant was clean- but my tortilla of my tacos was moldy, I reached out online and was given an automated response and told that somebody would reach out, and that never happens, hoping this will expedite the process and making things right ../disappointed at the corporate response.

    Street corn in July 22
    Brad W.

    The bowls here have become very good and better value than ordering a burrito. The street corn bowl with chicken has beans, rice, corn and other stuff. I liked the bowls a bit better when they had lettuce also, but these are still filling fir about $11. Ice water saves money if needed.

    New layout after remodel. Looks good.
    Michael P.

    This is one of my favorite fast food stops. I know they don't consider themselves fast food but they are quick when I need them.to be. Great fresh salsa bar. I love the shrimp anything. The fish tacos are cooked great and crispy. The restaurant just got a good remodel and is nice and clean. The staff was friendly and service was fast and professional.

    Shrimp and Bacon Burrito with Chips.  Delicious!  Free entree for your birthday if you sign up for their E-Club.  Do it!

The restaurant was about half-full and bustling brightly indoors and on the deep shaded wrap-around patio. Our server, Branden, was one of the best servers we've ever had! Attentive and polite, even reading off the entire menu and describing highlights to hubs, who'd never been before. We were seated immediately at a booth table and brought complimentary chips and salsa. These are good fresh, thin chips and smoky mild-hot tasty salsa. Branden brought us a second round of chips and salsa as well. We ordered: - Coca-Cola fountain drink - Coke Zero fountain drink - SHORT RIB MACHACA ENCHILADAS 5/5 - Highly recommend - caramelized peppers & onions, yellow cheese, ancho chile sauce, cilantro. Served with sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, rice, & choice of beans. Classic enchilada sauce like how I remember, delicious tender shredded marinated short rib inside. - CARNE ASADA FAJITAS 4/5 (sweet soy salsa verde) served with blistered peppers, charred onions, jack cheese, guacamole, salsa fresca, sour cream, choice of beans & tortillas. Hubs said these were good. He did want rice with his meal so he ended up taking my rice which I didn't want. As you can see in the pics, the tortillas are scratch made in-house as well as the sauces and sides. Bar seating, booth and table, and patio seating available. Men's and women's restroom available for customers.

    Been to this place three or four times, last night ordered fajitas and when we got home there were…read morezero tortillas. that was pretty lame. this place starts out with ok ingredients, they try too hard. the fajita steak last night was tough, and again zero tortillas. flavors ok, there are many many hundreds of better Mexican restaurants in Phoenix. and while I otherwise really like Fox Concepts restaurants, this one is a bit of a fail that I predict will not survive.

Upon arriving and being greeted we waited an inordinate amount of time to be seated. Chips and salsa were delivered to a large table but we were never told that was our table. So we just went and sat down. Apparently it was our table (?) Strange. We were given menus which were quite worn out, but at least clear enough, and we ordered drinks. Most of us had blended House Margaritas. They came in a beer glass which also was peculiar, but the Margarita was good. The menu leaned toward seafood, which frankly I wouldn't order here. I chose the Carne Asada dinner which came with the usual beans, rice, cheese, large grilled pepper, etc., and I got flour tortillas with it The meat was quite good and the meal as one would expect in this type of Mexican food restaurant. Portions were large. The service was fine. I wouldn't call it overly friendly. Overall the food was good, typical run of the mill fare, yet overall the experience was nothing special. I got the impression they just wanted to close up and go home.
