    Shrimp taco plate, fish and Fish & Chips (2 pc)
    Evelyn B.

    This Rubios is the best! Food is always consistent & fresh! The employees here make you feel like family and truly care about the experience. Clean environment and fun music and sitting area.

    Is this extra shrimp then what's the normal amount ?
    Alexandra L.

    I have chronic gastritis and specifically ordered a burrito without salsa or any kind of spice. However, my burrito was filled with salsa, jalapeños, and other spicy sauces. I also ordered a quesadilla for my kids with no guacamole, sour cream, or salsa, but it came with all of them anyway -- and the quesadilla was wet and unappetizing. Why offer customization if you're just going to give people whatever you want not what they want and what they payed for ?

    Im so disappointed in the service from Daria. While taking my order she kept trying to do things and talking to everyone else. Our visit was on a taco Tuesday. My husband ordered 3 tacos. And we were charged for a taco plate and a $1 extra for 3 tacos when the special was 3 tacos $3 each . What a rip off.

    The new Steak Nacho fries

    OK RUN DON'T WALK to Rubio's. I have been coming to the Temecula PKWY location for years and this is a wonderful location. Actually the only location I will go to in Temecula. All the employees are amazing and fun to chat with. I am the type of person who gets stuck in only ordering 1 or 2 things because I don't want to be disappointed. I like eating what I know is good. Today I tried the new steak nacho fries and wow 10/10. It doesn't take away my love and very frequent order of Salsa Verde Shrimp Tacos, but if I wanted to "spice things up" the new steak nacho fries is definitely going to be ordered again. (In my top 3)

    Alex, great manager did my order for me on my phone app.

    Alex, one of the managers, really made my first visit to this location easy. It was all about I had 490 points that were going to expire and I could use them for a free drink or dessert. And then I had another survey coupon for a free drink or dessert. But I felt the computer may not let me use both on the same transaction so I wanted the employee to make it two tacos for this transaction and two tacos for another transaction so I could use both vouchers that have expiration dates. Well it got so complicated to do on my phone so Alex took over and he just gave me the 2 free items and made it one transaction was a lot faster. I thank Alex and I'm having a good meal. I'm getting everything to go and packaged separately cuz I make the tacos at home. Maybe two tomorrow night and put the fillets in my toaster oven and make it all like from scratch from the ingredients they package separately here today. So Five Yelp stars is for Alex's service.

    I like this specific Rubio's a lot food is great and consistently good. Always busy but there service is very good considering how busy they are. I really really like the California bowl it's huge and packed with food. And always a must is the beer battered fish burrito. They also have a salsa bar with 4 or 5 different salsas and jalapeños. Place is clean as far as I can tell so definitely no complaints there.

    places is very dirty tables are not cleaned or anything
    Christian C.

    Service is really slow. Customer service sucks. The food takes forever to come out and they're very annoyed when you ask questions, especially the girl in the redhead, came in here with my rewards there was no Wi-Fi so they made me pay for everything, would not recommend!!!!

The place was was nicely decorated. The bathrooms were nice and clean (not funny smells). The dinning area was spotless with updated sort of nautical beach hints.

    My family and I visited for dinner last night, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing…read morefrom the moment we walked in. When we were seated, we asked for a high chair three separate times before one was finally brought to our table. The high chair turned out to be too small for our son, so we asked if we could use a booster seat on the end chair instead. The server seemed hesitant, mentioning she wasn't sure she'd be able to get by the chair. We said that was fine and instead placed the booster seat between my wife and me. After struggling to get our son comfortable, we eventually realized the booster seat has two different height settings depending on which side is facing down. It would have been helpful if that had been pointed out when it was brought to the table. Throughout the meal, our server seemed distracted and wasn't around very often. Our food was brought out by other staff members, which isn't necessarily a problem by itself, but combined with the lack of check-ins it made the service feel disconnected. The biggest disappointment came when I took my son outside while we waited. The benches, chairs, and handrails in the waiting area were covered in bird droppings. There were spider webs in multiple places, and the entrance to the restaurant itself looked dirty. I understand the restaurant is going for an old harbor or fishing-boat atmosphere, but there's a big difference between rustic and neglected. Instead of feeling charming or nautical, it felt like years of dirt and grime had simply been left in place. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but basic cleanliness and attentive service are things I expect from any restaurant, especially when dining with a young child. I hope management takes this as constructive feedback because the restaurant has potential, but our experience left us with little desire to return.

Came here during a weekend while the game was playing and sat at the bar. Was very busy bit the server was very nice and answered my questions on the menu. The crowd was very lively and it was loud due to the excitement. I ordered the enchiladas with chicken and green sauce. I like to try different restaurants enchiladas, and thesewere very good in my opinion. Chicken was flavorful and not tough or chewy. The sauce had a nice tang to it. They came with rice and beans on the side which i also enjoyed. I love that they still do free chips and salsa, and they are very good too. I believe the chips are made in house and the taste very fresh. The salsa is not too hot, and i love the taste. I also ordered a pomegranate margarita which was good. It has just a slight pomegranate taste and didn't taste sickly sweet like some restaurants do. Also, it was pretty big! I'll definitely come back here to try more things!

Our waitress Robin was fabulous and her assistant Gabriel was just as tentative as she was. He brought me a box with sauce containers and fresh salsa to go so I didn't have to use the one we were eating. The ambiance gives cozy and intimate. There's Spanish music playing in the background but not loud enough to drown out conversations. You can smell the aromas of the grilled fajitas. Now on to my sizzling Fajitas meal. This is hands down one of the best items on the menu. I usually get chicken but here I prefer steak. It's a flavor bomb. It's savory, it's tangy, smoky, and has a nice caramelized char w/ notes of citrus. It's all meat with very little veggies. Sadly, the rice was bland today and lacked flavor and the beans were borderline salty for me. I mixed it together to balance them and enjoyed it with some chips and salsa.

On Saturday we wandered into TCI for dinner and started with the heirloom tomato and burrata with crostini. It was so fresh and delicious that I briefly considered writing the tomatoes a thank-you note. Next came the Harvest Valley Salad, which somehow managed to make me genuinely excited about lettuce--an achievement that deserves recognition from the culinary Olympics. For our entrée we ordered the Wagyu Steak Frites with chimichurri. The steak was cooked so perfectly it should probably be framed instead of sliced. Every bite was fantastic. We finished with the ube panna cotta, which was elegant, silky, and the kind of dessert that makes you promise you'll "just have one bite" before accidentally eating half of it. Nathan took wonderful care of us all evening. He was warm, friendly, attentive, and struck that perfect balance between making us feel welcome and giving us time to enjoy the gorgeous patio. Watching the sunset with live music in the background and that spectacular view? It was one of those evenings that quietly reminds you why people go out to eat in the first place. Apparently we enjoyed ourselves so much that we came back the very just two days for lunch. (Scientific research requires repeat testing.) We started with the hummus, which arrived looking like it belonged in an art gallery. Fortunately, it tasted every bit as good as it looked. Then came the chile relleno, which was absolutely outstanding. If this dish ever goes missing, I'd recommend checking my refrigerator first. Faith was wonderfully friendly and outgoing, and our food expeditor, David, was so genuinely warm and personable that by the time he left the table, it felt like we'd known him for years. Restaurants can teach hospitality, but that kind of kindness is simply who some people are. My only tiny suggestion: please turn on the patio misters during these triple-digit California afternoons. The food was keeping us warm emotionally; the weather was handling the rest. And on the way out we let Christine know the carpets at the entrances needed a vacuum. Fantastic food, exceptional service, beautiful views, and an atmosphere that keeps drawing us back. Cork Fire Kitchen has once again reminded us why it's one of our favorite places to dine. Bravo to the entire team!
