    I enjoy Rubios. Especially their elotes street corn (the main reason why I keep coming back to Rubios) in a bowl as a side to two fish tacos (though the price seems to have gone up a little). Service is always friendly with a smile. I came during lunch time and it was quite busy and food took about 10 minutes, but really for good relatively healthy food that is not that long to wait while it is busy. Even though it was busy and crowded, there was still fresh salsa and places to sit. Rubios is one of my favorite places to chill and enjoy good food.

    I love Rubios and this one is conveniently located in Redlands. Easy in and out with plenty of parking. The place is clean. Seating is limited but it seems most were taking out. Service here is good. There's hardly any wait. I partly ordered online to use my Birthday reward which was buy one get one free entree. Then I used my app for another coupon which was 2 for $16 at the counter. Online they have $7, $8, $9 menu deals but I asked her about it and she said that they have it but you have to ask. Overall, they have some great deals! My only complaint hence the 4 star, was the citrus rice which came with my bowl was hard. I don't think it was cooked long enough.

    Warm welcome by cashier behind the register as soon as we entered the restaurant! My daughter was picking up an online order ! Wait was at least 20 minutes. Was busy tonight for dine in and to go orders .

    6 tiny shrimp didn't get any until half my burrito super mushy, fish and chips oily a lot of batter not much fish, corn is green... tacos were sad don't come here

    Receipt clearly saying -minus the onion and cilantro  Them highlighting means they acknowledge that right?

    Placed an online order for 2 trio taco plates. And 2 steak tacos for my son minus the onions and cilantro because he is allergic. Get all the way home to find we were missing 2 tacos, and my son's tacos had everything we asked NOT to put on it. So we had to throw his dinner out. It's probably the slowest day of the year for them and just can't get right an order, why even do online ordering. Eating out is a luxury we only do once in a while, so to be missing items and can't even eat because of restrictions is a real inconvenience. Thanks Rubios.

    They were doing a 2 for $16 deal. Check the app for good deals like that . With one bowl coming in at around $13 anyway using the deal just made perfect sense. I could have lunch ready for the next day! I decided to order the California bowl with salmon and the chicken taco plate for the next day. Both items were made to my specifications. Noticed that they continue to be skimpy on the rice . Why? Why ? Why ? The service was friendly and fast.In fact someone came out to tell me they were out of the citrus rice I wanted and if I wanted to wait for a fresh batch . Yes indeed . That salmon with the tang of the rice was my reason for coming . The wait wasn't long. There is both inside and outside seating.

    I have been getting fish tacos here ever since they invented fish. Tonight I'm trying the burrito which is something different. Also tomorrow is taco Tuesday so I don't want to get tacos on a Monday :-) The staff is very kind. They are young, which makes me think they would be on their cell phones all the time, but they are not. They are very professional and happy to be here. I can always count on and finding a good seat. I'd like to teach chairs aren't wobbly and falling apart like another restaurants. Also, they are chairs, they don't squeeze you into a booth you can't fit. The food is great. The menu has expanded so much in the last 10 years. I know they are closing some of these restaurants. I hope this one stick around because it is in a very classy area.

    I always order the same dish every time I go because I like it so much. I order the gourmet shrimp tacos. I usually order two and sometimes I get the plate which includes beans and rice, or just ala carte. It comes with two sauces for the tacos, a red and creamy beige sauce. The employees are friendly and the inside is clean. They also have tables outside to eat.

    3 Tacos: beef, chicken, Mahi Mahi

    Today we tried 3 different tacos at Rubio's Coastal Grill. The parking is in the rear of the property and shared by several other businesses. Be patient with the parking, there can be challenging times with the traffic movement. The facility is on the smaller size, so have a backup plan for a dining location at peak times - just in case. You can see from my pic our three tacos. Unfortunately, they basically tasted the same with only some minor differences. For what you see, each hovered, plus or minus, around the $5 price point. The Mahi Mahi taco didn't live up to their description. (It's the taco on the right-hand side of my pic.) The fish was dry, and the sauce lacked the anticipated flavoring and was sparse. The cabbage and corn were nice and crunchy. The chicken and beef tacos were closer in flavor with each other than what was expected. It was good that the beef flavor was prominent in that taco. In the chicken taco, the fresh avocado was the standout feature. It seemed the chicken taco had more sauce and therefore more heat - which was good. In both tacos the lettuce was crisp. In all 3 tacos the soft tortilla shells pretty-much held up. The house hot sauce definitely helped the chicken taco.

    I went to grab a bite before going to the Redlands Bowl. The food is always good but the chips were a little under cooked. The service was good and I loved the music in the store.

    I have not been here in a while, but I remembered liking the food. Well, we gave it another try yesterday and I have mixed feelings to share: SERVICE: The line was not long but it was moving very slow. When I finally reached the front I was greeted by a team lead that forgot their team lead hospitality. No real interest in helping me but I managed to get my order in. I remembered that they used to have a salsa bar where you could choose your type of salsa, but it was empty. I asked if salsa would come with the food....and the "team lead" advised me that I was supposed to tell her that before she finished the order. I apologized for not knowing the rules and she cancelled my total and added my salsa. Yay! Later I also ordered a "to go" entree for my son and she told me it would be 30-40 minutes because it was busy (I assumed online orders because not many of us inside) they were also telling everyone that walked in the door about the 30-40 minute wait...Can't count how many customers they turned away. Wow! FOOD: Here is where my mixed feelings come in...the food was great! Super fresh and tasty. Their shrimp and fish tacos were fabulous!! The salsa (that I got in trouble for) was just as tasty and spicy as I remembered. (Only reason it was not 1 or 2 stars) CLEANLINESS: Could have been cleaner, don't think they wipe tables down after customers clean up after themselves. At least ours was kinda messy. But not horrible. I would say, order online, the food is good. But unless you like being disappointed in the service, avoid going in. I think they'd prefer that anyway. Good luck Yelpers!!

They have karaoke here on Wednesday's and Sunday's, which is a lot of fun. Usually I get to sing a few times, not just once, but does depend on how busy it is. Last Wednesday I got to sing three or four songs which was great! On Thursday's listening to the open mic night singers and bands is super fun. I'm not a fan of the comedians, but I just tune them out when they go up and wait for the next singer. It's easy to either order a white claw or a bottle of bubbles with oj when I'm here. Bottles here are a bit pricy, $30 for a super cheap bottle of bubbles (like 6 bucks in the store - just google Wycliff Brut), but on Wednesday's for karaoke they usually have half price bottles which is a pretty good deal if you plan to stay for karaoke. I've gotten the house salad and the cali sliders. Both were fine, not amazing, but good. I really wanted to try the duck fat chicken wings but they've been out every time I've come and this time didn't even see them on the menu anymore! I'll prob try more food around happy hour sometime since they have some pretty good happy hour deals. Service is always nice too, and I never have a problem ordering a drink. They're pretty good about leaving you alone once you have everything too - which I love as an introvert. This place is also very dog friendly and my pup is welcome here. Def come here more for dog friendly karaoke and bubbles/white claw!

    So I was craving seafood boil on a Sunday and I usually go to another local place that I love but…read morewhen we got there the wait was over an hour. I was willing to wait cause the craving was REAL but then I saw their score from the health department and looked at their "dings" and said "F THAT! I'm not eating here." So I looked up other places and came across this place which I've heard mixed reviews about. So I decided to give it a try since they had a good health score and it was something new. First off I'm going to start by saying we walked right in with NO WAIT time!! Literally sat down as soon as we walked in! The service was great; our waiter was super friendly and attentive and checked on us multiple times. Not to mention they have really good deals and a lot of other options for those who don't want or like seafood boil. I say that because my bf doesn't care for it but he sucks it up so I can have it every once and awhile and finds something else on the menu which is usually only chicken tenders or fish and chips lol this place had a variety of different options which was really nice! The ambiance was nice and quiet and very clean. The bathrooms were clean and they even have a handwashing station in the front so you don't have to go in the bathroom. The only thing I didn't care for much was their "house sauce" not sure what it was called but it's the one that has all the flavors mixed together! We got the mild spicy and the spice was great but the flavor was a little bland in MY opinion. Didn't taste much like anything! I also REALLY LIKE how they bring you a metal bowl to put your seafood in. That's a GAME CHANGER. Overall I would go back to this place no doubt and highly recommend it! The prices are really good as well and I feel like they have great combo deals! Better than I've seen at other places TBH. Annnnddd, I forgot to take a picture of my food unfortunately but that just proves to show how ready I was to eat!! I did get the after math tho! Haha

The place looked clean and tbh we were the first ones there so there weren't many people. Now the food... We ordered the fried calamari because they looked appealing in the picture off of the menu. I didn't get the chance to get a picture but they looked...sad, soggy and I was surprised because they came out pretty quick. I sent it back and didn't eat it. Me and my partner each got a pound of shrimp and there was no flavor. Not even in the sauce. I got hot and it felt like mild to me (I have a high tolerance). It also didn't have much sauce I had to dig deep at the bottom of the bag to get sauce...disappointing. I also had egg , corn and potatoes in my bag....egg was gross and yolk was very very green...not appealing. Potato had no flavor but the corn was nice and soft so I'll give them that. We also ordered garlic bread and I'm very sad to say that the bread was probably my fave part of the whole meal. Food just isn't worth it in my opinion.
