    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 .

    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.

    Main entrance.  Outside seating too.

    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!!

    I was waiting for a tire repair just next door when I realized I was getting hungry! Walked here…read morebecause it was the closest thing and man was that a nice little find. I got the California burrito and it was really well balanced. For those who are uninitiated the California burrito is meat, sour cream, guacamole, and French fries crammed with a few other odds and ends into a tortilla. They found a balance in those ingredients that is really hard to pull off. Other places tend to put too much guac to the point where it's gushing in your mouth with every bite. Sometimes the fries are soggy or there is too much sour cream. These guys managed to get the fries crispy, and the guac and sour cream was even through the whole burrito. The vibe is very different from your normal taco shop. It looks like a cross between a 1950s diner and a taco joint. They were blasting oldies from that era too so that was a nice twist on the typical formula. Looking forward to coming back!

I was passed to the manager who handled the situation in the most unprofessional way. I explained the issue to him, and he insisted that my torta today had the same amount of meat, beans, and cheese as always. I disagreed with him, and he responded angrily, "Everybody makes mistakes!" He raised his voice and repeated it a couple of times. It was completely bizarre that he chose to speak to me as if I was the one who'd done something wrong. It's very childish to do a subpar job and then get upset and frustrated when you're called on it. An adult apologizes and pledges to not blow it again. Anyhow, I don't tolerate disrespectful people so I'm done. I won't spend another penny there.

I found a hair in the chips. It was underneath some chips and the rest sticking out. Okay, a hair, asked for new chips from the host since he was passing by and brought the first. I asked for some fresh ones and told him there was a hair in it. Didn't say anything but looked at the chips to see what I was talking about. I got through part of my burrito and felt something oddly crunchy. I was like, wtf, I took it out of my mouth and it was dark and flaky. Part of it looked red and part just too dark. Since I saw what was reddish, I thought it was a roasted pepper , that didn't seem right though. I thought I was a pepper, kept eating. Had some a third of the burrito left and was getting ready to ask for a box. As the waiter was passing, I started looking at the crunchy thing I took out of my mouth and took a closer look. It became more apparent that it was a ROACH . Yes, I unfortunately ate part of it if not most of it. I had been there a few times and never had an issue. I was still in disbelief but asked him what it was. I placed it in his hand. He said it looked like shrimp, that it turns dark when it's cooked, but it still shouldn't be there he said. I was just tripping on it and was like, no, but then was like it has to be. What else could it be? There's no way shrimp gets like that, I don't eat shrimp. I don't know what it turns out looking like... They didn't charge me for the meal. Marco's first reaction though when I told him was like ugh, you're going to put me through this and went off looking back at me. Yes, I put him through it. His service was mediocre but still gave him a decent tip. You tell me what it looks like. I was nauseous and disgusted all night and to this day. UNBELIEVABLE!

Today I go and take my family on my lunch break and show my discount card with a bill of $54 and she gave me $1.35 and said that was the discount and when I explained to her that I always go there she proceeded to tell me that next time I could get a free drink. Patio has a lot of flies. They should really do something about that. All of our food minus my dad's burrito was very cold. Everything! 2/10 I had an hour lunch and just needed to rush back to work. She also told me that soon there will be no discounts, not even for seniors. Ok, so cool, you guys stay raising your prices and then want to be unkind and now this. No thanks. I told her it was ok but this is literally 2 times back to back I come here for some nonsense. I'm not going back. Also, the older man who cleans the tables is very sweet and kind. Too bad everyone else can't say the same.
