You can't go wrong with a Rubio's original fish taco! Crunchy deep fried fish in a corn tortilla with cabbage slaw and sauces. I also really like their refried beans for dipping crunchy corn tortillas in them. Yum to all! This Rubio's is very clean and inviting. read more

We ordered takeout while staying at an Airbnb in Temecula. The food arrived promptly and was warm. I had the Shrimp Taco trio, which was excellent. My partner had a Chicken Bowl. We also had Chips and Guacamole and Churros. I forgot to take pictures, but the food was good and I would recommend. read more

Either my food wasn't fresh or it was ready before the pick up time and was just sitting. The fish and chips entree was mediocre. Fries didnt taste fresh, and fish had soggy batter. I like fish and chips, so I do want to try again, hopefully it'll be better. read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Fish and fries with cole slaw. - Mexican Near Me - Temecula, California

I am a big Rubio's fan in general, but the Temecula locations tend to be performing at a much lower level. I ordered my usual shrimp and bacon burrito, and it was basically a rice burrito with 3 or 4 shrimp on it. I feel like this location is being cheap and it's very obviously reflected in the food. At other locations in San Diego you get like 25 shrimp. Do it right or don't do it guys come on. read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Shrimp & Bacon Burrito (with hardly any shrimp) - Mexican Near Me - Temecula, California

Started out at the store around 11AM. Got in, looks like a remodel. It's clear they didn't think things through. The order lane was empty and everyone was hovered around the pickup counter where they moved the registers Confused customers wanting to place orders mixed in with pickups coming to the side to ask for their orders. Most not ready. After a solid 15 minutes I got my order in... Order comes delivered with LEMONS??? What the heck happened to limes? This store has been pretty good in the past but they gotta figure things out. Lemons??? Who does that to a fish taco ? Some mid-west white dude? Sheesh. I'll give it a year or two to see if this store gets its act together read more

I have been coming to this location for about 26 years. & i have never been unhappy with the service or the food. I always either get the chicken quesadilla or the fish taco. I have tried making Salsa Verde, & they just make it so better! read more

I often order online for either pickup or delivery. The prices are reasonable and the quality of the food is reliable. I almost always get a chicken taco and small rice and small beans, plus a bunch of picante sauce. Today was no exception. My chicken taco was full of chicken and guac. They gave me my 6 salsas. It's always clean and the employees are friendly. I know the company has had financial woes recently and I really hope they find their way out of it so that I can continue to enjoy this deliciousness. read more

Tried the famous FISHTACOSfor the first time, and they did not disappoint! They were so JUICY and DELICIOUS, especially with their mild salsa. I got the tacos as a platter with beans and chips and they were also good, the beans were warm with cheese on top. Would DEFINATELY RECOMMEND and would get again! read more

Manny the team leader is someone you want on your team. Thank you for the service and hospitality sir. We will be back !

It's like a 5/10 at this location. The wait time is extremely painful. I get the lunch rush but the business should schedule more people to work mid day instead of just 3 people with a line out the door. read more

After paying $7 for 2 Fountain drinks I found the tables dirty. After finding a clean table I sat and never saw anyone cleaning the tables or floors. The bathroom had broken toilets. When I pay a premium price for food or drink I expect the facilities the match the price. FAIL ! read more

I didn't "dine-in" but I ordered the "Fish Taco" and the "Steak Taco" which were great by themselves. The "Mango Lime Tea" was refreshing and perfect for the 90°F+ weather. I also tried the following salsa's (*day after purchase), "Tomatilla Salsa", "Picante '...'", "Jalapeño Citrus Hot", "Mild", and the "Roasted Chipotle Salsa". Out of all six salsa's the first two mentioned were my favorites. And, yes, the "Mild" and the "Jalapeño Citrus Hot" are actually mild and hot. Not to mention the entire meal was under $15 USD. read more

The chicken bowls rice, beans and the extra side of sauce yumm. Nice treat every now and then. A bit pricey but good.

Rubio's just isn't the same from what I remembered. The prices are decent and food was decent. The fish tacos were okay, it wasn't as good as I remembered from a couple years ago. I thought the food would've been a lot cheaper for Taco Tuesday. Service was decent. I had to wait a bit, but it wasn't too bad. I will probably just go to other places for Taco Tuesday. read more

Poop in shrimp. Customer service was great but I can't eat my food now because I'm disgusted. I haven't tried them for a long time because I felt with my last visit that they've gone downhill and this is just confirmation I won't be coming back probably ever again I'm gagging. read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Poop in Classic Grilled Shrimp - Mexican Near Me - Temecula, California

The following review is my opinion based on the services I received from Rubio coastal grill. It was ok at best. Let's start with the tacos. The tortillas were cold and tough. The fish was fried decently. They were garnished pretty good. The salsa was ok and average. Smokey, spicy, and just ok. Good portion, decent portion really. For a big eater it might be on the lighter side. The beans are terrible. No flavor, just completely bland. Combo plates are served with chips and a small cup of beans. I would like it better if the combo plate came with better sides for what it costs. Overall unhappy, the only thing that will keep me returning is the short line. Didn't have to wait long to order and food came quick. They do have plenty of menu items that look pretty taste. I'll have to try one the next time my favorite restaurant near by has a long line. Staff is friendly and to be fair, they have decent customer service. read more

Just went to Rubio on Ynez. The clerk Nicy was just on point. She did 3 things at once and made me feel like I was her priority. How refreshing to get great customer service. Thank you Rubios for a good experienc. A loyal custome. read more

I order takeout at a Rubios maybe 2-3 Tuesdays a month, but at the La Jolla Village location. I came to this one Tues June 13, 2023 only because I was AirBnBing at a Temecula Wine Country house, and I ordered the 6 fish tacos to treat my friend for dinner the next day. Well, I had the worst experience I ever had with a Rubios, EVER at THIS location. It as because the order taker Karlo did not pay attention to the specifics of my order. I told him specifically that I wanted 6 Fish Tacos Especial to go and to package all the ingredients separately on the side. I told him that I was gonna have Debra over the next day and was going to heat the fish fillets in the toaster oven and make the tacos from scratch. Having had the two previous orders at the La Jolla store missing items, sch as cabbage, or missing one tortilla when I ordered 3, this time I checked the bag and opened the first wrapper. It was a completely assembled taco with the fish, guac, onions, etc. already inside the tortilla. In otherwords no one followed my direction that each item be packed separately. When I confronted Karlo, he said "I thought you meant you wanted each taco packaged separately". I said "You do that anyways! I told you I was gonna put the fish fillet in the toaster over the next day, now the fish is ruined cos it has all the guac and onion all over it, and the tortilla is messed up and is gonna be wet and coming apart tomorrow". He said "That's true, I forgot." So then they took back all 6 tacos. I said "You gonna throw those away?" They said yes. I said what a waste. Then I had to wait till they fried up a second batch for my order. When they presented it, all 6 fish fillets were in a bowl, where they would get all steamed and soggy. I told them I wanted them separately wrapped in foil. They got sent back. Then they gave fixings only for 1 taco! I complained this little container is only for 1 taco? the other location I buy from gives me the larger plastic sauce container full to the top with sauces or cheese for 3 tacos. The people in the counter said well here they only give this little. So they added some more containers of sauces and onion for my other tacos. I ended up spending at least 45 min at this store, all because Karlo didn't pay attention to my specifics and they didn't package anything separately as I specified. I told him it would be common sense when I already told him that I was gonna crisp the fillets in the toaster oven the next day, that the fillets not be coated inside the tortillas with guac and onions all over the fish fillets. I never had this problem at the La Jolla location, only issues I had there was they forgot the guac one time, another time forgot the cabbage, another time gave me 2 tortillas only when I ordered 3 tacos. The extra long time it took to get my order right at this store caused me to be 1 hour late to Temecula Grape Stompers, where I was going square dancing. It starts 6:15. read more

I've always said Rubio locations quality depends on the manager . That being said this is the best one I've been to. Super clean and while my food (fish tacos) took slightly longer than other locations . They were super hot , super crispy and they could not have sat but for a few seconds . Excellent on all counts read more

I stopped by at this Rubio's after hitting the nearby gym at 24-Hour Fitness yesterday evening. There were plenty of parking spaces at any time of the day. I figured that I would need to reload on a few carbs and protein after a strenuous workout, so I ordered their Wild-Caught Shrimp & Mexican Street Corn Bowl. The bowl was topped with Mexican street corn, cotija cheese, chile lime Tajin, creamy chipotle sauce, fresh avocado slices, cilantro, onion, black beans and cilantro lime mojo sauce. I decided to eat in the facility and was surprised to see that this Rubio's actually used a deep porcelain plate and silverware. I didn't expect the stint upscale customer service. The serving was plentiful, in my opinion. The food was considerably fresh, tasty and healthy. The lead supervisor was friendly and accommodating. I'll certainly stop by again in the near future. read more

Went in for a couple original Fish Tacos and Taylor was so helpful. I could see she is a hard worker and wants to make the guest have a wonderful experience. Love that I have a "Friend" at Rubio's.....because that's what she called me. read more

Terrible customer service by the assistant manager. Waited 40 mins for a mobile order and all he could do was shrug his shoulders.

This place time after time has let me down, wether it's not getting my full order or just taking for ever to get my food, every time I get let down, keep telling myself not to go back stay away!! read more

It's 8:40pm, they close at 10:00, and they are excepting take out only. The drive from 25 minutes away to have dinner with the family and now we have to take it all to go. So much for a fresh meal. Now that we are home... the kids meal has a whopping 7 French fries. Pretty disappointed with the overall service this evening. read more

YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE BLOCKING THE DOOR AT 8:30 PM causing you to lose business in when you CLOSE AT 9pm! Check that young girl on the cameras Feb 13, 2024 at 8:30. Blocking the door with a grey large trash bin. How do they expect to get paid when they are blocking customers from coming in before closing? Unless this is how you run your business. I'd fire people. read more

California steak burrito was my favorite. That burrito was something i had for the first time here and it's something i would definitely come back and order again. I also got the tacos they were alright but I think for the same price the burrito is more worth it. I also ordered a side salad which came with lemon balsamic dressing which i thought was really yummy; the dressing. Price is more on the pricier side for Mexican food in my opinion like it's more expensive than chipotle. Also ordered it on UberEats and picked it up at the table. Contactless pick up check. read more

I ordered the mango mahi mahi taco plate. I customized my order to flour tortillas and received corn. I was annoyed by this point but whatever. I then bit into the second taco and realized it felt tough. I look and it's raw. Now I'm worried the first one I ate wasn't cooked all the way either. I'm so disgusted. read more

I hate to write a review that isn't complimentary, but this particular location has maintained a lengthy track record of serving stone cold food. This is an amazing concept. Who doesn't like fish tacos? I just don't understand why, if you wait for the food to be prepared, the food arrives to our table cold. read more

Very clean , fast friendly service thank you AMAL she is so sweet. Ordered the mango avocado salad. I was offered steak, chicken or shrimp (I think) and I said "veggies" not an option I was offered but it's what I would always order at my last local Rubios . I also asked for extra tortilla chips and it was to go. I waited about 5 min to order then about 7 min to receive my food. read more

I got the Mexican street corn bowl with chicken and the food was absolutely delicious but what stood out to me the most was Taylor. Her service was so friendly and her energy was infectious in the best way. As I was eating my meal, I even spotted her cleaning the place. We need more people like her in this world that actually take pride in their job and that are naturally kind. 10/10 will be back. Rubio's, give her a raise read more

This was one of my favorite places to go but their portions have change big time, their quesadilla tortilla is smaller than it was, they put a very small amount of meet and the guacamole side is like half of a teaspoon, and off course their prices increased just like everywhere else which I get that, but if you increase your prices than serve a decent portions for the price you charge. read more

On a recent trip to Southern California, I was introduced to the Rubio's Coastal Grill chain with a stop to this location. I loved it as it reminded me of a California version of Hawaiian fish tacos and burritos. It's a simple system, order up front and receive your food. Drinks are self-serve, as is the ample salsa bar. The food was fresh and delicious. I liked the quality of the seafood, the method of cooking, and crisp vegetables. All the salsas had flavor and spice. The restaurant was busy, but managed the customers with ease. Everything was kept clean, including the restrooms at the back. Rubio's is a safe bet for a quick and yummy meal! read more

Great service! I was immediately greeted with a smile and she was ready for me to order right away. I went a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy, only a few families. They had nice music on which only made the place seem more welcoming. When I ordered, she gave us tips on how to get better deals and save money (very nice of her). It only took around 10 minutes for the food to come out and we had 3 big items. I had two steak tacos and 2 sides, the steak was AMAZING! I absolutely loved one of my sides, Mexican street corn. I could eat that every single day and I'd still love it. The whole experience was very easy and nice so I'd definitely come back soon! read more

Ok first I am a BIG Rubio's fan!. But as a faithful i can see paying $16.00 for "street Tacos" & a drink. Come on by nature the term "Street Tacos" warrants a lower price point. In LA if I go to a Very Good Taco truck i wont pay near that amount! And your in Chapter 11. . Yes the meal is good but $16 for lunch is a hit on many levels. Open less stores and lower your prices that will help you staying around which should be the goal! read more

My partner became horribly sick after eating a steak burrito especial. We are positive this item was to blame, as it was the only thing they had eaten that no one else in our family ate in more than 48-hours. Customer service was fine, but we obviously won't be eating at any Rubios location again. read more

We were feeling a bit hungry after our wine tasting at nearby Briar Rose Winery (not to mention a little buzzed), so it was time to get something into our stomachs... and seeing how I had some coupons for Rubio's and that we hadn't gone to the chain in a while, we figured we'd use them! Wow, has the chain gotten a remodel... for a fast casual restaurant, they've put less emphasis on the casual. Table service (from the manager on duty, no less!), ceramic plates, metal utensils, very clean and sharp interiors - Rubio's has sure stepped up their game. The food is still on point; Kathy ordered the two Shrimp Salsa Verde taco combo, and I had the two Fish Taco Especial taco combo. No problems with our orders, though the hot carrots I got from the salsa bar were very spicy due to being marinated with a bunch of sliced and pickled jalapenos. Also, this particular Rubio's had Odwalla lemonade and strawberry citrus lemonade fountains on the beverage bar. Not sure if these options are available in my stomping grounds of San Diego (or Kathy's up in the Chino Hills area), but hopefully these are around in our areas. read more
