I Had the blackened mahi tacos for lunch today and they were really good. Great seasoning and the chips were really fresh. One of the tacos was a little skimpy on the fish (thus the star deduction), but I'll certainly be back again. Delicious! read more

Very clean location and attentive staff but I can't justify $12 for a basic chicken burrito that includes only rice, beans, and sauce with their price hikes. If I'm going to compare chains, for $10, I can go to a Chipotle and pack a burrito with far more options including cheese, sour cream and fajita. Sorry Rubio's. read more

very understaffed, incredibly slow and inefficient compared to other Rubio's in town. The food tastes good like all other Rubio's, just very slow to complete orders. read more

Very efficient restaurant. The service is excellent and the workers are very helpful and polite. I visited on 1/10/2026 for dinner. My mom and I always love their fish tacos. There was an upset customer while my mom and I was waiting for our order however the restaurant cashier was very kind, respectful and professional towards the upset customer even though the customer was very rude towards her, all for a missing guacamole. The customer slammed the door and was yelling at the cashier who was trying to help. Instead of politely asking about the missing guacamole, she made a seen. It was very immature and distasteful. I felt bad for the owner and cashier who was trying to fix the problem. In the end she stormed out and told everyone in the restaurant that she reporting this outrageous incident of missing guacamole. My mom and I got our food. Everything was packaged nicely and it was delicious. I recommend this place. They are very professional and try to do their best. Again I feel bad for the lady and owner who was working this shift. They were very professional and try to fix this order issue with the upset customer however the customer was not in a good mood and went to the extreme by escalated the situation by being rude and yelling at the workers. read more

I never write reviews but today June 5 there was a young lady at the register taking my order with glasses. I ordered and she Missed understood my order understandable it happens. I was very polite and called to ask if they could fix it . She said bring it and we will fix it. I said thank you. Once I arrived she had an attitude with me and said I ordered 2 tacos I said no ma'am . Miss I ordered a bowl with shrimp. She said I know what you ordered, you didn't order that . I gave you the Taco Bowl anyway,With attitude I left speechless. Never coming back to that rubios. read more

I've been to 2 locations in one week and although the shrimp tacos and salad I got were good..I couldn't get past the smell of cleaning supplies on the in and around my takeout. It's so weird and hard to explain. I thought it was a one off the first time I went then I hit the one on Guadalupe and there was the smell again! I smelled it when I walked in and then I got home to eat and I started to taste it. So disappointing and disgusting at the same time..like the chipotle shrimp tacos you can tell would be so on point but then you get this faint taste of cleaner and it ruins it. I had to spit out the last of my meal because it just got worse. I've always had a keen sense of smell but I don't want to taste it too read more

Great for kids. My 6 year old daughter asked me to write them a 5 star review because she loves their grilled mahi mahi tacos and their lemonade! read more

Online ordered some tacos. Tasted good, however, my husband ended up getting food poisoning an hour after eating the fish tacos. It was 10 hours straight of him throwing up in the bathroom. We've gotten the norovirus in the past and could definitely tell it wasn't the same. It had to have been food poisoning. Do not order from this location, if you do, don't order the fish! read more

The Taco Tuesday special is really good. However it's only three types on special, Chicken, Steak and Original Fish. You can order a Fish Especial with guacamole and pico sauce for 29 cent more. However my experience was it has a much smaller piece of fish on it. That's the Especial on the right. Really disappointed with this. I have to say the regular fish tacos are really good. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing. The service is so great and this restaurant is spotless clean. The salsa bar is sooo delicious. It's simply fresh, great tasting food. I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. I have enjoyed the food so many times, and will definitely continue coming!! Thank you!!! read more

I swear, since Covid most restaurants have gone way downhill in food quality, cleanliness, and customer service. This may be one of the last places in Phoenix Metro that actually still cares. I drive past 2 other Rubio's to come to this one specifically. This place is on their game. read more

I was really pleased with the upgrades and the new look of Rubios. Not that it was a problem before but the changes made the place more of a date place. Does that make sense? I used to bring my grandma all the time, she loved it here, she loved the fish a lot. I've tried the bowls. The trio. The salad. The side of beans. And I always come back to the original trio. It's just my favorite. I would recommended this Rubios because they are efficient and clean. The staff is pretty nice too. read more

Food, service, restrooms were clean as always. However, I have to agree with other reviewers: it seems all of the tables are sticky. It's as if there is some type of melting stain or varnish on them. I tried three tables before another patron said, "Yep. They're all like that." Sticking your forearms to the table, or having your plate, cell phone, and keys stick to the table is undesirable. Seems like it would be an easy fix. Either wear long sleeves and bring a placemat with you when you go, eat outside, or take it to go until they address the issue. read more

I was hungry so I wanted something quick. I also was craving salmon. I like burritos. Boom. Rubio's fit the bill for lunch. Their salmon burrito is made with wild Coho (Silver) salmon which was even better since I tend to like wild salmon over the farm raised stuff. It wasn't too busy here around lunchtime on a weekday. Perhaps it was because it's fall break here apparently so there was no lunchtime rush of students. It's been forever since I had something at Rubio's but the menu is pretty much the same, with various seafood options and chicken for your taco, burrito, bowl or quesadilla. I got my order to go. While you wait for your meal there's a nice little salsa bar with various spice levels and a few different salsas in a bottle. I got a little of the mild, hot, and jalapeno citrus salsas. Something I wasn't aware of until I glanced more closely at the menu was that if your meal comes with a side, you have the option of either chips or fresh greens. The cashier neglected to ask me and inputted chips as my side. Hey, I want my greens! It was an easy enough fix though but in the future if the cashiers could ask which side you want instead of automatically assuming you want chips it would clear up any further adjustments in orders. The salmon burrito was as expected. I liked the salmon, and in general I like burritos. Do I like both together? Hm, still not sure about that one, or at least I'm not sure about the version they serve here. The filling consisted mainly of rice, a little bit of cabbage, and a decent amount of guac stuffed to the edge of the burrito. The fresh greens were, well, fresh greens. It was a simple pile of lettuce with a small container of citrusy dressing. Theoretically it's a healthier option than getting the chips and the dressing tasted alright. The cost? Around $10. I wasn't a big fan of the burrito but maybe I'll try one of their tacos next time! read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Sure, Rubio's is a chain, but this location never fails to deliver tasty baja coastal inspired Mexican food. I consider myself a refried bean connoisseur and their beans are excellent choice for a side dish. What else do I recommend? Any of their lobster dishes, any of their shrimp dishes and beer! Yes, they have beer and even offer discounts from time to time on their beer choices. Finally, raid the salsa bar! The diced onions, pickled carrots and jalapenos are there for you to enjoy! And the red and green salsas that come in the plastic bottles in the salsa bar......they are the two best offerings Rubio's has and they are a little spicy to boot! Rubio's seasonal options are also tasty; from the lobster to shrimp seasonal options. Chances are you'll run into the owner, who is always working hard with a smile on her face! *Tip* Sign up for the email club and you'll get a Birthday gift and many, many valuable discount coupons read more

Food was good but the dining area was dirty. Food and garbage on the floor. Management needs to monitor the daily cleaning habits closer!

I had the most pathetic California burrito! It had like 3 bites of steak in it. If I just wanted french fries wrapped in a tortilla I would have ordered that. Will not be back to the Tempe location. read more

Look at this rice . Not satisfied and the extra fish tacos no bueno . Please do a better job Diana and team thank you read more

Please mark me down as not a fan of your app defaulting to a 15% tip for a to go order that your people did not even have to enter into the system ... I will tip for carryout service, but it is not for Rubio's to both assume that I will do it and set the amount of the tip. read more

Today, I went in and the sauce bar was so neat and clean! During the day, the food and service is great! Also, the service is really great! During the evening around 7p or later, I notice the lack of tastiness and sometimes the customer service. But I love Rubios overall! read more

This is our closest-to-home Rubio's Coastal Grill. We've been coming since long before the remodeling/re-branding. Big fan of the new decor/style. Seems like a much more mature setting. I'm stuck on getting California bowls lately and just mixing up the type of fish and type of sauce each time. So filling and so delicious. Have eaten them in the store and taken them to go as well. They never skimp on the portion size. Love the salsa bar inside and I always get some Tomatillo sauce for my bowl. A recent addition for us is dessert - you've just got to try their Snickerdoodles. read more

Awesome Team! Clean restaurant ! Great food...great taco Tuesday ! And the salsa bar is back!!

Good place but nothing special. Nice and clean. Salsa is average. Fish tacos have lots of stuff and they have a lot of kinds and varieties. Not bad but also no worth driving all the way across town. Great option if your hungry and passing by. It's your run of the mill franchise spot read more

Only three stars because I think the prices are a tad high. The Mahi Mahi taco I had and shared a picture of was tasty Iwould order this again and recommend it too, but the price seems kinda high for just one taco. The Salmon taco, another pic was loaded, tasted fishy which is NOT ideal. Son had a burrito and since he was opposed to dining here he is not giving it a fair review. He said "it was food". Paying almost $4.00 for a single taco wouldn't you think they would give you chips? Nope, gotta charge for those too. We rarely come here simply because there are so many other Mexican food options within a couple miles proximity to us. read more

Rubio's is a fast casual Mexican seafood chain restaurant. This location was remodeled a few years ago and has held up well. I'm a fan of the salsa verde shrimp tacos. The menu also has healthier options including a variety of salads that one can pair with several protein selections like shrimp or salmon. There's also a decent salsa bar. The service here is usually polite and fast. Be sure to join the Beach Club for online coupons including a free birthday dinner. read more

How do you spell fish tacos?: YUM! Fresh food. Not fast food at Rubios. Good food. Not great at Rubios. Would prefer they knock down the wall so I could see them grilling or cooking my food - just a thing with me. I have had a variety of menu items and it's all good. Bring back the shrimp tacos! Interior is mildly comfy. I usually take to go. Wine and beer are on the menu. Sangria too. The floors are clean. This is always an indicator of a clean kitchen - important feature. Prices are a little higher in comparison to fast food relatives like taco bell and del taco. But the food is fresher, better quality. Not much that goes wrong at Rubios. REVIEW RESPONSE Shared not only with you, but also with the World of consumers. Yes, well deserved. read more

Rubio's is a fantastic lunch option. My favorite thing is the ancho shrimp burrito. The burrito has a good sized portion of shrimp and the flavors mix together very well. I also like the fish tacos and the steak burrito. No matter what you order, the salsa bar is great and has options for everyone. Beware of large portion sizes or you'll be napping at your desk for sure! I really like the way they built and decorated this restaurant. It's very hip and clean. Service is always outstanding. read more

Best experience at this location. My mom LOVES tacos and is very specific on how they are prepared. Jocelyn assisted us and was very nice and professional.
