    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

    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!!!!

    See all

    A bit pricey and customer service could have been a little better but the fish tacos were excellent!

    Omg. This place... we are coming back for sure. The service was amazing. Our waitress, Justina,…read morewas on it. Our table did not lack at all during our visit. 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. They got me with the fish fridge/market at the entrance. Everything in the fridge looked so yummy. The food was delish from the symphony of the warm bread crust all the way to tartness of the key lime pie. Come here... you will not regret it.

    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.
