My friends and I go there every Taco Tuesday for the fish, shrimp, and steak tacos. Half price for their specials. Can't beat it!

This place is filled with rude employees!
I went to grab my lunch on my lunch break and as I went to find seating I slipped and fell completely back onto the ground when I was able to get my self up I almost fell again. I went to the front and asked them to put a mopping sign in the front and their response was " we have on back there" and I said "no you need one right here in the front where I just fell!"

They didn't care and continued to keep mopping while the restaurant was full of guest eating and walking on the slippery floor try to walk carefully so they wouldn't fall like I did.

Horrible my back and tail bone still hurt from falling hard to the floor!

Not a single employee walked over to check on me when they saw me fall idk what else there is to say about the customer service.

Managers in particular at this location are rude and condescending. Sadly, it appears Rubio’s is committed to a constant decline in the customer experience across all their locations… Only a matter of time before this one closes too

Ordered online today and got no cheese in my burrito despite paying extra; a 2 taco plate with 1 on corn tortilla and 1 on flour tortilla despite requesting flour tortillas; “guac” that was really just smashed avocado and had no flavor. The cooking is so hit or miss here, wish the one on SMB hadn’t closed.

Rubios is delicious as always but 2 chicken tacos - without beans, rice, and chips was $17 (that included a 15% tip.
That seems outrageous for a ‘fast food’ restaurant even if it is - more healthy than burger and fries.

This place is always epic from service to food. It's the great equalizer when my family gets into the whole "what do you want for dinner" game and has 6 different answers. I can say Rubios? And get a unanimous YES!! And that reason alone folks is why you should eat here.

This is by far the most unprofessional and unorganized Rubio's in the area. If you order online, the food isn't ready, and when it is ready they put it on the side without telling you even after you checked in. My food was ready for 10 minutes and it sat there. I had to go "bother" them again for it and it shouldn't be that much work just to get food. The Doordash drivers were also experiencing the same thing and I could see they're frustrated as well.

Reliably good. Simple cali-mex menu with lots of options, plenty to satisfy anyone. Dine in or take away. Simple, fair value.

Woof… Food was very average. Sides of beans and rice were overpriced for such small amounts. Very disappointing that the “chipotle sauce” was dairy (which I’m allergic to), and I had no idea. Add the word “cream” so people like me can ask to leave it off. Won’t be back.

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed that Rubio's is running a scam as a promotion. I went in to get the Tuesday Taco special. $1.99 for a taco. I normally don't eat fast food, but I was stuck at Bressi Ranch last evening with only $5 on me, no wallet or phone. I had to wait an hour for my ride to come get me, so I decided to get 2 fish tacos from Rubios. However, upon biting into the fried fish, I was surprised to see there wasn't any fish, just fried batter. So, I started to break the "fish" into pieces. Alas! there wasn't any fish. I had to throw the tacos out because I didn't want to have fried batter. Is this just on Tuesday because of the special, or is this the norm? I wish I had my phone so I could take photos as proof. Has anyone else encountered this?

This is a good Rubio’s location. The service is good and the food as always has quite good. The restaurant is clean and attractive.
