I've been getting left on hold for over 15 min duration when I'm trying to call in advance before my lunch , I call on another line and they answer and help that line ( what's the deal with that ) so if your looking for a good fast service this is not the Rubio's to go. Manager doesn't seem to care when I confronted her about the long wait on the phone and replied with a rude voice. I understand we are in pandemic but you should train your staff and crew to do better during the pandemic read more

Now, I haven't been to a Rubio's in a few years, but wow this Rubio's location is basically a restaurant. Real utensils (metal), real bowl with my California Bowl with Seared Shrimp, and Manager delivery of food. I was blown away. Rubio's food has always been tasty and good but I literally felt like I was at a restaurant with the good service, large dining room and patio, and just the ambiance. Will definitely be coming here again after my work outs! read more

Truly terrible service. I'm not a Yelp person and I work in a restaurant but the service here is terrible. Ordered online and waited 30 minutes before telling me they never received my order yet I got an email for conformation. They handled it unprofessional and rudely. The cook lady in the back then begins to yell my name. Strictly unprofessional. read more

This review is long overdue but shout out my girl Hannah for giving us good customer service and plugging us with the fountain drink, making sure we had everything we needed like she opened up that Rubio's her damn self. Clutch to say the least. Appreciate you Hannah. read more

I don't like the location of this Rubio's, but their food is good and they seem to give more food than the one up by Walmart on Temecula Pkwy so now I just go to this one. The shrimp is SO good! I end up craving it and I love their salsa! read more

I love the food here. But I gotta say, the tables are gross---sticky from who knows what. A few weeks ago I asked the server to tell the manager I was disgusted with it. She came back a few minutes later and said the manager knows about it and they are working on getting them properly cleaned. I return today and no change. I feel like I need to post this bad review to get them to do something about it. I've decided to not go back again until I read a review here that indicates they've fixed whatever is wrong with their tables. Too bad, I'll miss the food until then. read more

Rubios really delivers for a fast food restaurant! Their freshness and quality and usually top notch! When you dine here ask for chips if you order a burrito and they will give them to you ahead of time (I like having something to snack on while I wait for my food). A for cleanliness B for price to portion ratio A for service A for food quality read more

So I just came in 10min ago ordered 2 fish tacos and a side of chips should be quick and easy order for the cooks but unfortunately not...15 min went by still didn't get my order meanwhile 3-4 people ordered after me they all got their food within 5min which is complete bullshit... you guys were watching me WAIT the whole time smh!!! read more

I had the veggie salad with shrimp. It was good but the soda fountain was messed up as diet coke tasted like vanilla. Reg coke also

i come to rubios sometimes when i get a break at school, which isn't the best idea just because their lines are ridiculously long. they usually only have one person on the registers which is crazy because they're one of the busiest food places in this plaza. its also getting three stars because one of the first times i went to this rubios (a few months agthere was a beetle in my onion/cilantro mix. i wish i would've gotten a picture but i was just so disgusted that i walked out. overall they have great employees they just need to be quicker. UPDATE: i'm super happy that the manager of this location contacted me and did his absolute best with customer service! he was super sweet and helpful and i just wanted to say thank you to the manager for putting customers needs first! read more

The food is good and fresh and the restaurant is very clean! The staff was prompt, friendly and a pleasure to work with. The street tacos are really good but on the small side. The mild salsa is decent, the chili salsa is flavorful but not much heat. I mixed it with the Diablo sauce and that did the trick. The tomatillo sauce was not my cup of tea . I would definitely come back the next time I am in town. read more

As with the Murrieta Ca location, we now have the Temecula location doing the same. Tacos are now $3.50 each and very small portions of fish. The tacos also tasted like burn't grease. Salsa bar empty of certain items and NO limes. read more

Food is ALWAYS fresh, hot and delicious. The staff here are absolutely the best & I can't thank them enough for always performing 100%! Keep it up :-) read more

Extremely disappointment in the service. Had some shopping to do at Target with my 20 month old grandson and decided to get an early lunch before returning home. Arrived at 10:58 am and placed my order. The restaurant was very quiet; only a few customers. By 11:20 I decided to find out why we hadn't received our food. The kitchen was staffed with only 2 people and then there was only one cashier. My grandson chicken nuggets were in the kitchen window and my order was sitting on a tray behind the cashier. She noticed that my grandson was restless and asked if I wanted it to go. REALLY! I guess so. It didn't help that I had to remove him from the high chair so I could find out were our food was. By the time I got home the food was cold. There are a lot of restaurants in Temecula and I will probably not come back to this particular Rubio's. read more

Great lobster taco , always consistent on their food , this was my first time in temequila location and it was as good as other location , service also was good . read more

Rubio's is my all time fav especially the Salsa Shrimp Taco's however, the Rubio's by Target has gone down hill! We just had a visit and my first experience after ordering our food was that the forks in the fork dispenser were wet and still had food in them. Then, the shrimp on my taco's were still translucent in color (still raw). The food was under seasoned and the beans were super soupy with no salt of flavor what so ever! The Rubio's in Murrieta and the one in the 79 south supersede this establishment. We were famished so we did not complain but in the future our decision will definitely be one of the other 2 Rubio's. read more

I'm a big fan of Rubios. They have a really solid fish taco, bean and cheese burrito and salsas. When the crispy shrimp tacos are in season (usually March) they are scrumptious. The grilled shrimp tacos are not good at all (little soggy shrimp). The salads are good and fresh and be sure to try the chipotle white sauce on everything.....it is very yummy! read more

Stopped by to grab a quick note for lunch! Staff is extra friendly at this location which I love! I ordered the lobster tacos which are always delicious! Wait time was a little bit longer than average, but I assume that it was only because I came in during peak lunch hour. Would definitely come back to this location again! read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Lobster taco yummm - Mexican Near Me - Temecula, California

Daniel at the front register was great! Great customer service and professionalism from him. Always like coming to this Rubio's... Michelle does a great job with this store and it shows. read more

Ok food but SUUUPER SLLOOWWW. I waited sooo long to almost just cancel my order. The staff don't even acknowledge that at least your order is coming up and apologize for the wait. Ok, maybe they don't have to do that, but at least acknowledge that the food making process is slow... never again. read more

I frequently go to Rubio's to meet friends or enjoy a meal with my husband. We get great service, especially by Amal! She is friendly and very helpful. She often remembers the adjustments we make...like no onions etc. This Rubio's is my favorite to go to for the service and food! Great job everyone! read more

I was put off of fish tacos a few years ago but decided to give Rubio's a try. So glad we did. Ordered the original fish taco which had a nice size batter coated piece of white fish with shredded cabbage. Put some lime that came with it, picante sauce, and some chopped onion and cilantro and loved every bite. Loved sitting outside in the fresh air and sun. Great place. read more

Door Dashed delivered a late, cold and wrong meal to me and my special needs son. After getting cold shoulder response from Door Dash ; the manager of this Rubios came and delivered personally. That's what I call love and compassion for your fellow human being. This place rocks. Thank you read more

I love Rubio's but the customer service at this location was fantastic especially an employee that goes by, Francis. I had ordered through Uber eats and wanted to make modifications to my order but they didn't get it yet. Over the phone; Francis got a piece of paper out and wrote out what I had needed done to my order to make sure I was completely satisfied. I love Rubio's, and my guy Francis just made my process a little easier. read more

Came by tonight to get a quick bite to eat for Taco Tuesday. Not too busy, but the wait has been crazy long. I think I've lost my appetite.

I love Rubio's food! Convenient location, ample parking, fast service!

The Fish Tacos here have always been the signature dish, although lately they seem to have gone down hill a bit. Perhaps they are turning to "The Way of McDonalds" by pumping the fish with GMOS thus ruining the wonderful taste, but I can't say for sure. I've been going here since it first opened, and the fish tacos were amazing. The last time I went here was about six months ago so maybe they changed back to the old recipe, but maybe not. I would give it three stars simply because of the new recipe for the Fish Tacos, but since I haven't been there in awhile and they could have change, ill add on another star. read more

I used to order from here a lot. But I stopped going as much because they obviously don't care about to-go orders. I ordered the California Bowl with grilled chicken. There was like 7 little cubes of chicken in this entire bowl. I called just to let the manager know and he wouldn't listen (talked over me), was argumentative and made excuses. I didn't want anything from them... just to let them know that it happened and to be mindful not to screw over other customers. Hey manager, try LISTENING before talking over your customer and getting argumentative. Oh and add a little more chicken to your orders... customers shouldn't have to pay $10 for a bowl of rice. read more

Will not be returning for any reasons what so ever. Rude and spiteful staff with crappy attitudes. Too many hard surfaces in the dining room makes the noise in that place echo and amplified. So darn loud in that place you can't even think. I would rather eat Jack n the Box cheap tacos in my car on a busy freeway than ever think about stooping there again. read more

So came here with my husband and another couple for a quick bite. It got busy while we were standing in line. We order first and almost 15 mins after our friends got and finished their food, we had to stop someone and ask about our food. The manager finally ran out food out to us and when I asked about the delay, he abruptly answered and rushed away. On top of things, our food was lukewarm and I heard another customer who had been right behind us complaining about the same issues we did. Bad service, rude manager, lukewarm food...... nah, not a redo, many other restaurants in that center, don't bother with this one. read more

Terrible location. They are located inside of Target and nothing on their site states that. As for the service, not really positive experience. It took a lot longer to get the food than other rubios . read more

I have just discovered what a $7.00 taquito is. I thought I ordered a burrito. If I wanted a Del Taco $.99 sized burrito, I would have gone to Del Taco. Waited 15 minutes to get a cold burrito. Last visit here read more

It has been 6 months since my last review. It's a shame I will have to change it this visit. I normally stop in every Tuesday after the gym for the Tuesday special. Today wasn't so busy. 12-15 individuals were waiting for their food. I arrived almost exactly at 2:30. It is 2:46, I just received my food. Others have come in the same time I did and still haven't recieved theirs. The tacos were good. A little too crunchy on the outside leaving the inside a slightly less desirable texture. (A little too greasy) Their not bad just not the perfect taco they usually are. For the few people in the restaurant today I expect service to be moving faster. The 2:30 time on the 1.50 tacos is a little ridiculous but I get it, however, when the cashier told me they had been doing it earlier I was a bit frustrated. As a previous business owner I would not allow a promo outside of the time frame setup to be acceptable. Now he could have meant minutes earlier not as I assume hours or anything. He was very nice. I hope the owners and managers look at these reviews and do their best to improve on the critiques that are put out there for them. There is no reason they can't obtain 5 stars and keep local loyal customers. Without critiques you can't improve! Ps: my third taco was absolutely perfect all around. Don't know how that happened but that would be the standard. read more

Just waited 32 minutes for a to-go order. Most of it stone cold. Not even an apology from the staff. They acted like it was completely normal! read more

I have yet to eat bad Rubio's and this place keeps up to that standard. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They won me over when they tried using an expired coupon and it worked, they care. I would recommend. read more

Today I ordered rubios curbside from the app and my order was to be ready at 11:49. I was sitting in the parking lot until 12:09 and still no order. I proceeded to call and let them know I hadn't received my order, mind you I had 3 hungry kids waiting, and they told me they'd bring it right out. I waiting another 10 minutes, nothing. I then called again and asked for a manager and told them what was going on.. they said "oh sorry we're really slammed in here". I said I've been waiting nearly 30 minutes since my order was supposed to be ready and they didn't seem to care about how inconvenient that was for their customer, not to mention the gas I wasted in my suv. I asked them to cancel my order and they said they did. I'm still waiting to see if they actually canceled it. Needless to say I left after more than 30 minutes after ordering with no food, 3 hungry kids, and a loss of patience with rubios. This is the second time this has happened to me with them and I will no longer go to rubios and support their business. If they seemed to care it may have made it a better experience but their lack of customer service is unacceptable. read more

The food's ok but nothing special. I've been twice and both times there were problems with my order.

The food is good. They are known for their fish tacos which are great, I haven't had anything I didn't enjoy from there but it's nothing that will blow your socks off. However I think that are very over priced, and if you have special request on your order, such as no cheese, you REALLY have to emphasize that to them, and even then sometimes they still don't listen. We normally call ahead then go to pick up. It's always clean, and the has a nice environment for a sit down laid back lunch. read more

Twenty (20) minutes to cook and deliver one (1) grilled shrimp & bacon burrito to-go. I know it's lunch hour, but the place seemed ill prepared to serve its customers in a timely manner. Not sure if I'll return to this location. read more

Loved coming here in the past, but ever since the renovation it stopped being my favorite spot. First is smells like paint and glue inside. Plus a wave of new employees, who lack training, turn experience of coming here into a negative one. I'll be eating at Wahoos next time. read more
