Yes, it's a chain, but because it's freshly prepared, as they claim, it is noticeably better than say, Chipotle. I wasn't too impressed with the pricing (gourmet tacos coming to about $4 each), but I did enjoy them. The salsa bar is a nice touch, and I do dig the Mexican beach theme. read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Gourmet tacos, chips & salsa, and rice. - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is by far the best Rubios I have been to in North Phoenix. I live to a closer one, but find the difference in travel far worth it. Serving sizes are generous, and the food is fresh. I also love the employees. Many remember what I order, and are always smiling. The manager always strikes up a conversation and is a pleasure to see. Plenty of seating and reasonable wait time when the lunch and dinner rush hit. read more

Love their Fish Tacos if you go when the staff is good. We have gone several times and the food is excellent. All you would need in the to go boxes. Other nights - not great. Instead of being given limes, seasoning etc we just got tacos wrapped quickly in foil and dropped in bag. Last night one of my tacos had one tiny piece of fish and lots of cabbage to fill it up. Typical there is 3 pieces and a very nice balance. It can be hit or miss at this location. When it's good it's great, other times- disappointing. Roll the dice read more

I LOVE the California Bowl with Grilled Chicken and the Red Chipotle Salsa! Reminds me of Chipotle with a more authentic mexican taste! Healthy option and def worth trying! Also, Taco Tuesday they have a special on their fish tacos a la carte! read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I typically don't write yelp reviews, but after tonight's visit it was necessary. The food was fine, but the staff was so unprofessional it was shocking. When a group of us walked up to the counter to order the entire kitchen staff just looked at us in disgust. Then started whispering to each other while we were up There! Um hello?! We can see you! My husband and I's order came out in a timely matter, but our friends took 10 minutes after ours and all she got was nachos! Then the lady brought it out and said sorry it took so long we ran out of beans. My friend asked specifically not for beans. The kitchen staff was screaming and laughing in the background while customers were waiting for their orders. All in all, just a bad experience and definitely won't be coming back to this location. read more

first and last time to this place. the server name K in front feeling like she is not happy working there, bad attitude and bad customer service. i asked her if any of my food is spicy 2 times and she said no(with a not.willing answer attitide) then when i go home everytjing is spicy the food is not great either. read more

Rubio's has surprised me lately, I've become a fan! They have great battered fish tacos and if you go on Tuesday night, they are only $1.50!! You can't beat that deal. I also really like their beans, I know that seems like such a simple thing but they have tasty pinto beans on the side with yummy tortilla chips to dip. The staff has always been friendly and accommodating no matter which location I go too. My dad raves about the shrimp burrito, it's one of his favorites!! Because of the great prices and fresh ingredients, I may find myself at Rubio's more often! read more

Tastes a little lower quality the past year or so. We still eat there when we crave cheap and fast fish tacos or steak nachos. Food always seems to take a while but maybe because it's more fresh? read more

For good old 'baja style' fish tacos, Rubio's is a pretty good place. They might have other stuff that's good, but...I just go with the traditional fish tacos. Good. Quick. Reasonably priced. Not the same-old same-old fast food. Give it a go! read more

Literally my favorite place to eat. The staff is so friendly and eager to help you have a good dining experience. Their nachos are the absolute best ever. When I used to walk in with my little one, Allan would rush to 'my' table with a high chair. Courtney, the manager, is so kind and friendly. The food is awesome, the coupons are stellar and the staff is the best ever. read more

Bombbbbbbbb, amazing food. I love this place so much that i frequent here about 2 times a week. The service is outstanding! Edgar, Daniel and Ariella are too sweet and they always know what im going to order. The fish taco is a standout, tasty and sustainably sourced. The red sauce they use on it is very mild though almost like a marinara but it works with that crispy fish fillet. Yummm. My ultimate favorite though is the gourmet chicken taco, holy taste buds! Let me break it down for you. Served on a corn tortilla with a melted goey white cheese and a crispy layer of cheddar cheese im guessing, crusted on the tortilla like a damn cheese crisp. Atop that is the grilled chicken, red tomatillo sauce that is very flavorful and mild, a creamy chipotle sauce, fresh onions and cilantro and then of coarse bacon! YOU MUST GO NOW!!! read more

This was the first time I came here and it was OK. The chicken was flavorful but the salsa were definitely lacking. Also, kind of on the expensive side considering it's a " fast causal" type place. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this location. I wouldn't call Rubio's "authentic" by any means but if you are looking for a quick fix for your taco cravings it will do the trick. The food is pretty good. I adore their poblano and mushroom tacos. Not many places serve veggie tacos so this makes me happy. These tacos are stuffed with grilled poblanos, portabellas, fresh avocado, cilantro, and queso fresco. Plus the taco shell has cheese crisped on to it. It is a surprising and tasty twist. I have always liked their beans and before I discovered their tacos I would get a plain old bean burrito. My husband always gets fish tacos or burritos and always says they are good. Their salsa isn't the best but they have a few different kind of varieties. Portion sizes are kinda flimsy especially their side items... Service at this location is awesome! The lady running the register is sooooo nice and seems extremely competent. They also sell beer which is nice for a fast food establishment. I haven't imbibed yet because I always order takeout but I saw a sign that said all beer is $2.50 in the evenings. Hmmmm... I might have to come back for that. Give Rubio's a chance- they might surprise you. read more

Good service, mediocre food. Classic tacos were small, she'll isn't crispy, ingredients were OK. Basically Taco Bell food plus 3 bucks.

I remember when Rubios used to taste fresh and now, as my boyfriend described it, it is the Taco Bell of seafood. This particular Rubios has messed up our order the past 3 times we have gone in. It seems like the cooks and other employees are very overwhelmed or confused. I am gonna have to take a hard pass on Rubios next time. read more

I have been waiting on a to go order for about 45 minutes.,... Still waiting.. This is not my first experience at this rubios. Last time I was here and found a hair in my food so I stopped eating it. Later that night I found myself throwing up over the toilet for about 6 hours NEVER COME TO THIS RESTAURANT read more

I love this place!! I go almost every Tuesday for Taco Tuesday ($1.50 original tacos). Every experience has been positive, the staff are friendly, polite and accommodating. I usually sit outside and when the server brought out my food, he noticed that the sun was in my face so he adjusted the umbrella for me. If you sign up for their emails you will receive a free birthday meal and it's not an a-la-carte size meal either. Great value and amazing taste for a fast food place. My only complaint for this location is the front door handles, they are filthy and black. I hate touching public door handles anyway, so I usually bring a napkin with me to use to open the door. read more

Food was excellent, service not good. Order taker was not friendly and when I asked about the beans and chips not coming with my taco meal he simply said my meal doesn't come with those sides. However, the menu clearly states it does. Coke Zero was also out. Again, food was delicious and tasted fresh. Luckily, my home Rubio's isn't this one so I'll be getting better service at my normal spot. read more

There was no waiting for a table as people are doing more takeout. The shrimp tacos were fantastic, but the steak was dry and super small. I would go back but do not get the steak. read more

Came here after seeing one of my friends with a fish taco, these tacos are heaven. Friendy staff and cool Baja feel. Food is made to order, salsas are flavorful. read more

Rubios is starting to take itself for granted. ALWAYS come here, love the service and friendliness from Daniel. I don't see him anymore? Past visits disappointing, and as I listen to some dissatisfied individuals -- with real complaints - I am looking for a new favorite. Thanks for the memories :( read more

Family taco kit is a great deal, we come here weekly and the patio is super clean and many umbrellas to cover from the Sun. Shrimp burrito and tacos are addicting. read more

I just yelled at a kid (8 y/o approximately) that I saw stick his finger in the salsa to taste it. Felt obligated to tell the staff because you'd assume they would immediately toss it out. It's contaminated! You all know where kids stick their fingers. It's usually not good. I go to the counter, approach a man named Chris with dark rimmed glasses and quietly let him know. He thanks me and I sit back down. Then I watch him do nothing. He tells no one. He continues to take orders. So, that's that I suppose. Booger-butt salsa for everyone! Weee! read more

I really enjoy eating at Rubio's and this location at Bell Road and Tatum is my favorite one of all the restaurants in the area. I actually drive past two Rubio's that at closer to eat here. The food is fresh and consistent and this comes from someone who eats there at least once a week. And the staff are wonderful, very friendly, thoughtful and welcoming. This makes a very nice atmosphere among the customers. Keep up the good work. read more

Gave me horrible food that was improperly prepared & caused a bad reaction. BEWARE!!! read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - There should be NOTHING orange in this California Bowl. Now my mouth & throat are burnt. Beware. - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place NEVER answers the phone!! Try to do a group order today and legit called 8 times in the course of an hour and not one time did they answer!! This isn't just a fluke either..:I used to always just go in and wait because to try and call to order food...forget it. But now it's not worth it. What business is allowed to just not answer the phones? Terrible customer service. read more

I ordered Rubio's for lunch today at Desert Ridge, paid by ccard, went to pick up and the store was closed. The landlord locked them out. I could not cancel the order or get in touch with anyone. I called the location on Bell and they offered to make my meal if o showed them my order confirmation. I applaud the manager for taking care of me. He could have asked me to contact corporate. I appreciate him helping me out!! Great manager!! read more

I love their taco fish! It is incredible, nice place, and friendly staff. super clean, I also like to eat the shrimp burrito is delicious

I ordered OVER $600 in food for my office for delivery on 5/5/22, which was also teacher appreciation week. I ordered it a week before so they had plenty of notice. I waited and waited for my order to come and it never arrived. I called and they said "we're sorry, your order is here (getting cold of course) but we haven't found anyone to deliver it yet" (they use DoorDash). I was shocked! I said you could have called and we would have come an hour ago (when it was supposed to be delivered). I sent a teacher out to pick it up. She said the restaurant was not busy at all. I was assuming it would be busy with Cinco De 'Mayo. I added a $70 tip on for the delivery too! I asked for someone to contact me so I could at least get the $70 tip and delivery charge refunded and nobody ever did! Extremely disappointed! Will never use them for catering again! I will definitely use Valle Luna next time we're catering Mexican Food! read more

My first time in here and will not return. Started with guy taking our order cut me off to get free red bulls from the red bulls sales gals. I mean, who is the customer here? I ordered a salad and he had no idea if there was Romaine lettuce in it and my kids cheese quesadilla came out with no cheese in it. There are two ingredients in that order...cheese and a tortilla... needless to say we will not be returning. read more

This place was alright. I asked the lady at the register for any recommendations and she said she doesn't eat any of the food and couldn't recommend anything. I ended up getting two tacos with chips and beans and the tacos were good but the beans weren't. I did like the salsa though. read more

My kids like the food here so I take them sparingly. The cleanliness has always been a concern so I now only do take out. I'm sitting here now and we're 25 minutes into a take out order for my 12-year old daughter and myself. This will be our last Rubio visit. Very disappointed. I'm not the only one sitting in the dining room wondering what's going on. We're all stunned and confused. read more

Kind of shocked at my recent Rubio's experience. Shortage on staff led to many things wrong with the place. For one, the place was filthy. Dirty tables, dirty floor, messy drink station; it was foul. Secondly, our food took forever. I'd understand if the place was packed, but there was only one order ahead of mine. Then, when my burro finally did come, it was just sitting there on the plate by itself; no chips, no garnish. Just the burro! I bit into it & the tortilla was hard and almost cold. I have never had a "hard" burro in my life, and I'm hoping never to have one again; it's not a good thing. Needless to say, I left the restaurant feeling totally unfulfilled and yet quite happy that places like chipotle and cafe rio are nearby. read more

I always look forward to going to Rubio's! The food is always great, the employees are always very friendly, and the restaurant is always extremely clean! It's just a great, great place to go! read more

This place is ran sooo smoothly. No matter how busy or slow, employees are super friendly and patient. Daniel (i think) is truly a delight. I love that I can have a beer while i wait. Although, I never finish it before my food pops up. Outstanding chicken. Thank you, Rubios, for making it so easy. read more

What can I say, Rubio's rocks. I can go to almost any of them and they are very graceful and accommodating to my diet needs. This one is on the way to my kids old school, so I could stop here and get some to go items. The manager and employees are very nice. read more

Rubio's did contact me about this problem. They were quite fair in resolving this issue.

I agree with a prevous poster who says this Rubios is the best in the area. The employees are super friendly and nice. Between my kids and myself, we usually make tons of modifications:( hold this, add that etc.)...I always order the chipotle ranch chicken salad (minus chicken and cheese w/ dressing on the side)..they always take my order without batting an eyelash and ALWAYS get it right..my salad is always crisp and fresh and we probably take out from Rubios 3 times a month... read more

$1.50 fish tacos on Tuesday that taste like good quality fish. A couple cold Coronas and it don't get much better for the price. I'm definitely a fan. read more
