Ordered a steak quesadilla but was brought a chicken burrito? Talked to the cashier and explained the situation... and then received a steak burrito? Not sure what the communication problem is but clearly we got one. read more

Love me some Rubio's Fish Tacos! It always takes a long time for your order bc they put it in new! So you must call or put it in via- the Internet!! It's alway sooooo delicious! It reminds me of my FAVORITE place in HB-CA WAHOO's fish TACOS YUMMY! So, yes I love this Rubio's! read more

Tonight I went to Rubio's to pick up food. If anyone is wondering why your online order or DoorDash/grub hub food looks awful and is wrong it's because the person preparing the food doesn't care. This person has a small mustache, messy hair and dirty looking. They where throwing the food in the bags chest high,on the counter and throwing burritos just hap hazardous in the bag. Our food was prepared wrong and I was standing there! This employee didn't care about the food or anything. What a shame, don't work if you don't care. Or if your employees are not happy, find out why!! Hope this person finds a job they care about. Whenever Brenna is there it's prepared correctly and cared for. Disappointed! read more

Perfect citrus finish with fresh limes. Cooked fresh when arriving with short wait. Friendly workers that accommodate special requests with a smile. Very clean and well kept salsa bar. Coming back often. read more

Rubio's used to be a favorite. It's Taco Tuesday, so thought I'd get their fish tacos, it had been a while and it sounded great. The tacos were big, but they were bland! I don't think I've ever had to put salt and pepper on a taco in my life but I did tonight. Even the tomatillo salsa - I used to say I loved it so much I could do shots of it - blahsville... even got the stink eye from one of the chicks working there. Come on guys, I know you can do better!!!! read more

the manager there penny is awesome. Great customer service and even better food! I would definitely recommend this rubios over many in the valley. All are great, this one is just better read more

We were super happy with the time it took our food to be ready! The quality of our food was great. We even forgot to order one of our meals. The employee we spoke to when we called it in got our order quick in so it was done at the same time as the rest of our order! Penny the manager is also great to work with when I plan school fundraisers! Always pleasant and goes over and beyond! We also love the family meal deals they now offer! read more

i got the Mexican street bowl with mahi-mahi, i would the portion as... pretty enough for a petite girl. And flavor is really good! I would definitely come back read more

Food arrived quickly. Chips and "guacamole" was a big disappointment. Guacamole container was maybe half full. Picture to prove. read more

My girlfriend and I had a great time at the Tempe Rubio's on June 16. The manager there was very friendly, professional and hospitable. He went out of his way to accommodate a special order, and he threw in some chips and salsa, too! The fish and salmon tacos were DELICIOUS! I received an email from them the following day with a generous Father's Day offer, so we went back for more on the 18th and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves again. We had been to several restaurants that week. Rubio's was by far the best! Thanks very much! Sincerely, Brad read more

Our visit wasn't terrible, but I'm disappointed because I really enjoy Rubio's and have never been let down until now. My food looked great and tasted good, but my wife's quinoa bowl came to the table looking pretty bad. It looked like it had been scooped from a feeding trough and carelessly dumped into the bowl. I know a bowl with quinoa, beans, and steak isn't always going to look perfectly neat, but they couldn't even slice the avocado neatly and left smears all along the inside and rim of the bowl. All in all, it appeared messy and unappetizing. I hope the place doesn't slip into complacency. read more

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

Rubios fills that niche of I need to get my kid from after school care to the Tuesday swim lesson in one hour or less with food in her belly. I've been exploring different options; at least I was until I found Rubio's. The first thing you notice is the great service. As I'm not a regular quite yet, I usually spend a few minutes studying the menu. The staff at Rubio's has perfected the art of not starring me down during my minutes of quiet contemplation, which seems to be a lost art at other establishments. After ordering, the staff brings you your order. Casual dining with wait staff service. Tip #1. Sit near the salsa bar when with child. It makes getting extra napkins easy. The wait is short. I've measured this based on my daughter's behavior after we sit down and she immediately says, "I'm hungry and I want my food NOW!!" Although saying, "We just ORDERDED!!" doesn't help; we've never gotten to the melt down stage. The food has always made it with time to spare. Tip #2. You can never have enough napkins. So, save the Earth by just getting a few and more as needed. You sat next to the salsa bar, right? The food is good for the price and there are many options. So you don't have to order the same thing each week. Tip #3. Mixing the onion cilantro with one of the salsas is a good combination. Comparatively speaking, I like that my daughter and I can eat something on the healthy side of the casual dining spectrum. Usually, a bean and cheese burrito for her and fish tacos for me. The quality seems appropriate for casual dining, although I could do with some more sauce in my tacos. Tip #4. The churro makes a good incentive to finish the growing food for you and your kid, but you have to get a kids meal. The Churro is the real bonus. On Thursday, my daughter suggested that we go to Rubios. Telling her that we go every Tuesday didn't seem to make a difference. We take the churro to go and my daughter eats it on the way to swim. read more

My first time! Your first time is always a little scary, but when it makes the hair stand up on your arms (and elsewhere) you are truly hoping you have found a love to be savored. That's how I felt about my first time with Rubio. Rubio's is a new love (fast food) that is better than just about every other choice within a five mile radius. Some have been ok, some have been good . . . and others have been downright unsatisfying! Rubio is fresh and, oh so savory! My first time was quick and very satisfying. Boot scooting boogie good! read more

I have to say, this place is great! The customer service is really great. They are very fast with your orders. They keep the place really clean. In all the many times that I have gotten food to go from here, they have never once gotten anything wrong. That is a pretty good thing they have going on here. Food is great and always hot and fresh. No complaints about it at all and they always have coupons that they will email you. Lots of parking in the lot. read more

Just want to thank Penny and all the staff at this Rubio's location for my last minute catering order. I was originally going to go with a competitor (starts with a "C") but they didn't want my business (was told they require a 24-hour lead time on all catering orders). Called this location and got a real person and she was great. Showed up early and they had it all bagged up and ready to go so effortless! It was a hit - everyone loved it! Thanks again. read more

The last time I was at this location years ago I was not impressed. I was in the area and decided to give it another shot. I was happy with the quality of the food and the service. I will always give a place another chance in time. I will be back. read more

I haven't been to a Rubio's in probably 10 years. I'm obsessed with trying new tacos all the time so figured I'd give this old place a go again, and was pleasantly surprised. I love seafood, though not fish really, but found their flagship fish tacos to be pretty dang delicious and surprisingly filling. I personally ordered the langostino lobster tacos, which were sooo good despite being completely drowned in butter. There was a small oily lake at the bottom of my takeout box that rendered the tacos a messy eat, but they were worth the mess & the calories. The lobster was really sweet and had a nice fresh flavor. The grilled shrimp burrito, which my boyfriend remembered fondly, was just okay. Definitely looked better than it tasted. I hate rice in burritos, so I might be a bit biased. For one, gross, and two, it's entirely too filling when you're attempting to work your way through trying one of everything on the menu. I might try their shrimp tacos if I go back. My only complaints are one, the salsas. I didn't find any of the 5 or so they had to be all that appealing. They did have a bottle of some diablo hot sauce that was more my speed, however. I couldn't eat any of my (not salty enough) tortilla chips though because the salsas tasted funky. Complaint two is the soup-like beans, which had zero flavor in them. I added salt, hot sauce, lime, and eventually cheese and tried dipping my chips in them but I could not make them palatable. Decent tacos, shitty sides. Location is nice, clean, and the guy at the counter who helped us was courteous. I might come back again. read more

Great place to eat, had the steak burrito and it was great! You can definitely tell the food is freshly made because my food was still nicely warmed when it came to me. The dining area is always clean. And the professional staff are super nice and they make sure your taken care of. You never wait a long time when they see you they help you right away. This place is definitely recommended read more

Rubio's fish taco last time we visited. Still great fish tacos and nice selection of salsas to spice it up. Eat here or carry out. All staff wore masks. Will come again. read more

I frequent this location specifically. The employees are friendly and accommodating. The food is always delicious and quickly prepared. The steak street tacos plate is my personal favorite! read more

This is our favorite Rubio's location, and we're frequent diners here, especially on Taco Tuesdays. It's always exceptionally clean and we love the staff - genuinely friendly and accommodating young men who serve our food with a smile on their face. We love the fish tacos, guacamole and beans. Yum! read more

We enjoyed our food on national taco day and appreciated the price cut that day. We also like the salsa bar and the fountain drink options. The only thing I was disappointed with was the carry out order was not correct and unfortunately I did not think to check the order before we left. I ended up having to drive back from home which was not all that close to get it redone. I was surprised that not even an I'm sorry or a kind comment was expressed by employee or management. We will go back but now I know I will have to check the order before I go home! read more

Super awesome food!!! Love this place. Gourmet grilled tacos are the best! Sometimes they scrimp on the avocado slices though...

Very good customer service i had an item missing from my order (just the salsas). So i called the store to let them know that i wasn't mad because they were a little busy but just so they were a little careful and double checked so that it won't happen to someone else. The girl who took my order didn't think it twice and offered me a free meal for my next visit. Thanks i will be coming back. read more

I ordered the Wild Caught Shrimp and Mexican Street Corn bowl. Sadly, the bowl did not contain any corn or avocado as was advertised. Unfortunately, because this was a to go order, I didn't realize this until I was home. Very disappointing experience! read more

Bought 2 shrimp bowls. Tough shrimp. Undercooked rice, very very little lettuce. Should have come with guacamole. I had half a stringy avocado with some peel still in it in my bowl. Very very very disappointed. read more

I've been coming here for years and I never get tired of those original fish tacos. I love the salsa they make in house and the food is so fresh and delicious. I order from here about 2-3 times a week and Brenda (manager) handles my order almost every time. She's the SHIT at what she does and she has her store on lock! Kudos to her and the rest of the staff for giving such amazing and attentive service. Food is reasonably priced and delicious for any meal of the day. read more

The Chipotle orange salad is the best salad in any fast food chain. The red peppers and the white sauce give it the best spicy flavor and the leafy greens are always fresh. The fish tacos here are also some of the greatest. I'm a sucker for anywhere with a free salsa bar and the cilantro onion mix adds extra freshness to the tacos and salads, or I like to mix it with the mild to make it more of a pico de guio. Anna is the nicest cashier and gets my order right everytime and Alex always cooks the chicken to perfection on the grill they are great. The store has a side seating area that is perfect for the cooler weather months. Love Rubios! read more

Love this Rubio's! Our dinner was fantastic! But most importantly we felt safe. The staff all wore masks and gloves and were constantly cleaning! A big hooray for all our Essential Workers. read more

Rubio's is the bomb. Salsa bar?!?! Hell yeah. When they got the marlin or langostino lobster going... The bomb.

This is my favorite Rubios location. I pick up my lunch here every week. My boss is kind of a picky eater. But even with the substitutions, and changes, the order is always right. I've never been disappointed with the quality of my food. The owner is really nice. This place gets packed at lunchtime, but the owner and staff never loose their cool. You can tell she treats her employees well. Everyone working is always in a good mood. Over the last several years of my coming here there's been a lot of new faces. But they hire competent and friendly people. Always a joy to come here. They definitely deserve a 5 star rating. I'm not a one time happy customer. I've been coming here for YEARS. And I will continue to do so. By the way, the remodel looks great. Love the new bench by the counter. I don't feel in the way while waiting for my pickup orders anymore. read more

The Balsamic & Roasted Veggie Salad with Blackened Salmon was tasty and filling. My partner enjoyed his Classic Grilled Shrimp burrito. They offer sangria, beer, flavored iced teas, flavored lemonades and Coca-Cola drinks. read more

Straight up trash! Second time I try to go here to get some quick tacos and end up waiting over 30 minutes! Other locations have normal service, but this location needs some serious work with their employees. The cashier was trying to use the computer and couldn't figure it, then started using an iPad. She spent 5 minutes to get one order through. Meanwhile multiple tables were waiting for their food and 2 people waiting for Togo orders. We couldn't handle the wait anymore and just went to Amado's where we got our food in 7minutes. read more

Tried to order online through the app and noticed the app wouldn't allow my to add something to a burrito I called Rubio's to place the order instead. The woman on the phone told me I couldn't place an order over the phone and couldn't come in to place an order, only over the app. I told her that the app wouldn't allow me to add something and that's why i was calling. Her exact words to me were, "ooh well sorry you can call another Rubio's because we can't help you" ....... Absolutely some of the worst customer service. I have never experienced this from a Rubio's. And there was a sign on the door saying due to staffing reasons their lobby would close at 6pm. I've never seen a Rubio's do this and I've been getting food from Rubio's for 6 years! read more

My stars are for taco Tuesdays! ! There isnt a tuesday that goes by that i dont want fish tacos! Rubios fish tacos hit the spot and tje price is right! Tuesday special 1.75 each and they are so big that there's no way to have more than 2! Love the salsas at the salsa bar, and sice they also sell beer, highly recommended! read more

Rubio's is pretty pricey for Mexican fast food, but they specialize in seafood. And if there's anything Long John Silvers has taught me, it's not to go cheap on seafood. Anyway, I'm a big fan of Rubio's fish tacos and mango crispy shrimp tacos. The roasted salsa also is tasty, although the chips could use some work. Rubio's beans flat-out stink. For a combo of two tacos, chips, beans, salsa and a large drink, expect to pay about $9. read more
