I went to this place around closing time and I ordered 4 tacos. But after 10 min, we got only 2. So we asked but the cashier was like ' No. you ordered only 2" really strictly.. He also said that "sorry for your confusing" which sounds like it's our fault lol. I hate that kind of service. read more

I had never been to a Rubio's before so I didn't know what to expect, but I was highly satisfied! The food was fresh and delicious! I love the salsa bar! The portion size was good, too much almost, but for others I'm sure it's perfect. The staff was friendly and the service was timely. I'm glad I gave it a try! read more

What can I say, fish tacos!! Seriously, I don't even want to try anything else on the menu I love the tacos so much.

Thank you Penny and her team for a great night of fundraising for our non profit organization Sew Sweet Angel Gowns! Rubios has excellent food and great service! I would highly recommend eating here! Penny was so generous to provide food for one of our non profit organizations community events several months ago and now we were able to do a fundraiser at Rubios. We really appreciate her giving back to the community and love the food here!! read more

The chipotle orange salad was fantastic! Looked really good on the website menu so I thought I'd give it a try. I had mine with grilled shrimp, a decent portion by the way for a salad. The chipotle kicked in as I neared the bottom of the bowl lol. The calorie and carb count in this salad was not too bad either, considering the flavor. I'll be enjoying this again soon! read more

Had the special veggie burrito ..: it was better than chipotle. I loved it. They give chips free with the burrito! Its a sweet mexican hangout place .. read more

I came into this location today and everything was great until the shift leader Alyssa delivered my food to my table. She came up with that I don't want to be here look on her face. Then she didn't even say one word to me ...at all.... she just dropped the food off and left. As she was putting the food on my table I was very nice saying thank you and she just walked off. Then I noticed that she was going on break . So I got the impression I was her last customer till she was free to relax and she didn't care about me. Her cashier working today was very helpful and very very nice. She should be the shift leader instead...other than that, my food was amazing as usual. I love rubios but I didn't love my service today. read more

$1.99 fish tacos on Taco Tuesday?! Awesome!! Lightly battered & fried Alaskan Pollack with yummy chipotle sauce and cabbage. Almost as good as a fish taco on the beach in Mexico. ;-) read more

Delicious! I've lived by this place for years and never visited until today. We tried the taco trio plate and it was fresh and flavorful. Nice little salsa bar plus Odwalla lemonades - yum! The venue was nice and clean, and the service was outstanding. We will definitely be back!! read more

Had never really tried this place despite hearing good things. I had been craving quesadillas, and this place did the job well. Most places mess it up by not putting enough meat and overfilling it with cheese because they are cheap. But mine had enough chicken so I was happy. Overall, a bit overpriced but so far has tasted good so we will be back to try more possibly. read more

Both times I have been to this place, the fish tacos tasted fishy. Both the Salmon and the Pollack. Avoid. The only good thing I can say is that the service was friendly and the salsa bar is decent. Maybe if I do ever decide to go back to one of these places I will just go with the chicken or something. If you want great baja style shrimp or fish tacos that will truly blow your mind, go to La Condesa on 16th ST. in Phoenix. For the same price you will get the best tacos you will ever eat, artful presentation and a cool little romantic location. Sure, you will have to drive to Phoenix which I know is kind of a hassle if you live out in Mesa or Tempe but hey, It's much better than the fishy taste left after eating here. read more

It's really hit or miss at this location. Food is good but not worth what they charge for it. Just getting 2 tacos and a quesadilla is the same cost as if I got a large pizza and 24 wings. read more

I haven't been in Rubio's in a while, and I was driving around starving and decided to settle on some chicken flautas. I stumbled on a Rubio's that happens to be down the street from my house. After a quick glance at the menu, I realized they have completely changed their menu! After a second glance, I realized this was not a bad thing at all. They had some really incredible choices and being that I was so hungry, this made my decision incredibly difficult. I finally decided on a two taco plate with one portobello and poblano taco and one avocado and corn fish taco. And let me say, I couldn't decide which was better! The fish was crispy and not at all greasy and the porotbellos had amazing flavor. After my first bite, I immediately began to wish I had bought more food, even though I ended up full after the meal. There were so many other delicious looking options (including a summer orange shrimp salad that I can't wait to go back for) and the best part was that without even trying, I managed to end up picking a fish taco made with sustainably farmed fish. Bonus because I love companies that are making an earth-friendly effort. The staff was very friendly and my food was ready so quickly (but didn't taste like it had been made earlier and sitting around). Best of all, the salsa bar, which makes me worry, since I never know what other customers might have done to it, was very clean and fully stocked. Nothing had migrated from one spot to the other (like when you find peppers floating in the salsa because a customer has dropped them in there) and everything looked fresh. All in all, definitely check out Rubio's new menu because it may be your new go-to spot for quick, fresh, Mexican food! read more

I hate to make a negative comment since I am a weekly regular, I come into this Rubio's nearly every Tuesday and then some. I generally enjoy the fish taco but since it was Monday I thought I would simply get a bean and cheese burrito. That was not a good decision.....One of the worst I have ever, had. I could not eat a lot of it. First it was just a little above room temp, the cheese was a little cooler, not melted or even warm at all. The temperature was not what made the burrito fall below the rating of "not good" or worse even earn the rank of really bad, it was the moisture that somehow escaped from within to make the outside wet and soggy.....I'm sorry Rubio's to have to make this post because I like this place....I'm sure or at least hope this is only an anomaly and not a sign of things to come. read more

best tacos and crisp water. really delicious water tho. also there's this sauce on their chicken tacos that taste like heaven.

I just want to be able to hold and eat my burrito. It never fails that I alway have to use a fork and knife to eat it. read more

Rubio's Coastal Grill - Every time I get a bean and cheese burrito it just falls apart and requires and knife and fork. I just wish I could hold and eat my burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Food is great. Grilled salmon burrito is awesome! Customer service, very friendly and 'above and beyond.' I was surprised how unhygienic and gross the men's bathroom was; like a smelly truck stop. read more

Absolutely love this place. I am a vegetarian so have only tried a couple dishes out here. Love the salsas. Have already recommended this place to my frnds!! read more

been to locations all around the phoenix area! I found this location to be the one that keeps me coming back due to the staff. Penny and Ashley are extremely nice and always makes sure my meal was delicious and always with a smile. Take advantage of the fish tacos on Tuesdays for 1.50! read more

Ordered a kids meal to go today. The sides were despicable, there were a total of 8 chips in the bag and the churro had been fried without any sugar on it. I assume this is a result of an adult ordering a kids meal because this happens every time I order one without an adult meal as well. Parents be warned, don't go here if you are only picking up for your kid!!! read more

A huge thank you to the staff and manager Penny for your willingness to host our fundraiser for Sew Sweet Angel Gowns last night. You served our guests with smiles, great attitudes and yummy food. We love how the Tempe Rubios is always willing to help out and serve the community! You are awesome! Thank you! read more

For a fast food place, they have very good fish tacos here. Try the fish burrito, I know it doesn't sound very good but trust me it is excellent. They have menus that tell you the nutritional value of every meal they make. read more

Other than the fact that the few times I've been here the employees seem miserable I go to Rubios because it has the best burritos. Sadly there aren't a lot (or enough locations) if you're a fan and that can be annoying. I wish it had the trifecta which for me is, the convenience and availability of a Taco Bell, the salsa of a Baja Fresh and well the deliciousness of a Rubio's burrito. One out of three it is for now but definitely one of my favorite "fast casual" restaurants as they call them. Employees need to cheer up or at least pretend to smile though. read more

I reallllllly really hate posting bad reviews. I don't usually do it unless I'm very disappointed. This is the closest Rubio's to my house, so the only reason I ever go there is for convenience and not quality. My favorite menu item is the California Bowl - it always tastes great at other locations and I've never had a problem with it. At this particular location, 9 times out of 10 the rice is hard, chewy, and almost inedible. It ruins the entire bowl. At this point I'd rather drive all the way to Mesa Riverview location then continue to eat at this location. Learn how to cook rice!! read more

I never had fish tacos before and the idea of it sounded strange to me so I was a little weary to try them. I tried the mango jalepeno mahi mahi taco and the original fish taco. Both were delicious! I liked the mango taco a little more though. It tasted light and healthy. Prices are fair. Rubio's is a mix of fast food and sit down. You order at the counter and then a worker brings the food to your table, kind of like Chick-fil-A. I like this because there's no tipping required! The decor is fun; it's a mexican beachy feel. read more

Best chicken chopped salad ever! I add roasted salsa for an extra kick of spice. The staff, including penny and Chris, always remember my name and are extra friendly. read more

Tuesday is "Taco Tuesday"! You can get their amazing fish tacos for $1.25 each!! The salmon burrito is delish as well. They have an open salsa bar with limes, cilantro, and jalapenos. The dark brown salsa is THE best and highly recommended. Service is very quick read more

Better than a dive Mexican joint and less than an abuellos or Macayos. If you want quick & inexpensive come here. Salsa bar is what brings be back read more

For a chain, the staff and service are great. It's a solid go-to when you're in a hurry and want something tasty.

I thought this place was very tasty. Had the burrito especial. The salsa is very sweet just like I like it. Could use some more chips but otherwise very good. The decor was nice as they recently remodeled. The young lady up front was excellent and kept cleaning the salsa bar. Good employee. read more

Um let's see, where to start... how about telling people the truth on how long it's going to take. I get it when people call out.... Totally get it. Anne who's wandering around, why don't u fill the salsa, make sure all items are stocked. How about u don't walk by someone at the counter who is obviously trying to ask u a question. I get u got a business to run, but when u charge people $20-$50 for their meal & they have to wait... maybe u comp them an item. Throw in a free drink. That usually calms people down. But for the guys making all the food, I see u working hard. Good job guys. Steve, I see ur trying. Normally ur amazing. I get tonite is tuff but open ur mouth a lil better. Like hey I'm sorry it's taking longer. Or u could jump back there to the other side start making food & put Anne behind the register. Seriously her going to the same spots that u already cleaned cuz she doesn't kno what to do... u might as well send her home. Oh ya, tell her she needs to put her hair up & quit playing with it. She's handing people their food, and walking around in the kitchen touching her hair.... I was going to give 1 but I have had better experiences here so I'm going to say this is a rare event. But if I come back & Anne still has her hair down playing with it, I'm going to tell her to wash her hands & put a hair net on. If the guys on the kitchen have to wear a hair net & they have short short hair then tell me why hers isn't up? Here it is, 40 min later still no food & we were told it was going to take 20min... that was a lie read more

I am probably breaking some unwritten rule giving a fast food joint four stars but this place is really good. The Mahi Mahi fish tacos are awesome and even better with the Ballast Point Kolsch they sell. The salsa bar is good. Great kids menu with healthy options. Our son loves the bean and cheese burrito. This location was recently remodeled. Great place for quick, fresh, and tasty mexican. read more

Penny graciously provided an awesome lunch for the Sew Sweet Angel organization - it was delicious. Thank you.

Thanks Penny! We had a wonderful spread of food for our Sew Sweet Angel Gowns event today!! The food is great!!

I tried the Panko crusted shrimp burrito. I would recommend it. The restaurant was clean and well lit. It is family friendly.

Food is dank, always on point! Love the fish tacos and shrimp tacos, and the salsa bar is always legit. Nothing like stuffing up on some tacos and drinking it with ice cold Coke when it is hot outside. read more

I came to the Rubios grand reopening today and was very impressed. The staff was extremely friendly and the food was fabulous. The guacamole was one of the best I have had! The service was very fast. By the time I had found a seat and got my drink the food was quickly arriving. The store was also very clean and the staff kept the tables wiped off almost immediately. I will definitely be returning to this location! read more

The service was really good. This was my first time and I enjoyed it. The fish tacos are the best.

Cassandra was an amazing help today! First time here and had the best experience of a life time!

I've been coming to Rubio's since I was in high school. My favorite items include their famous fish tacos, Baja grill burrito, and their street tacos. I love their salsa bar (the mild and chipotle ones are my favorite, and I love the outdoor patio seating. I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience here. read more
