“This place is one of the better fast food options in the area. Customer service is always great and quick. The food is significantly better quality than Chronic Tacos across the way. They do sometimes forget the salsa or miss something like a side of guac, so you may have to double check your order before taking it home. But overall great value for your money.“

“Local and delicious. The staff are friendly, food is hot and fast. The place has refillable soda, free tortilla chips and wifi. This neighborhood favorite serves Great Park, Lake Forest and local business with delicious Mexican food. Jasmine was very patient with my numerous questions and helped me craft my perfect breakfast burrito. A Mexicano Burrito with Shredded Chicken and added avocado. I love places like these because it isn't somebody just heating up sysco food in the back. It's an actual cook and usually a family who can make food using the ingredients available to them. So as long as you're willing to pay and to talk, just about anything is possible.“

“They have yummy salads and bowls. Their veggies are fresh and organic. So far I have been able to avoid their ‘junk’ food offerings such as burgers and chickn sandwiches, fries, etc. menu offers healthy stuff and portions are bigger than they used to. Loving their reward app too.“

“I have been coming to this location for quite some time, and while I was disappointed to find out that my favorite Kalua Pork Bowl is no longer on the menu, Bianca completely turned my experience around.

She recommended a similar dish, and I ended up loving it! Bianca is always welcoming, friendly, and has a smile that makes every customer feel valued. Her knowledge of the menu is outstanding, and she's always happy to answer questions and make great recommendations.

What impressed me even more was watching her help her coworkers while keeping up with taking orders and delivering food to guests, including me. She truly goes above and beyond, and it's clear she genuinely cares about providing excellent customer service.

Every time I visit, Bianca consistently provides an exceptional experience. Employees like her are the reason customers keep coming back. She absolutely deserves recognition—and in my opinion, a well-earned raise!

Thank you, Bianca, for always making every visit such a positive one. Keep up the amazing work!“

“This is a special Rubio's. I use my app and pick up lunch here at least three times a week and have been doing that for at least several months. They are consistently professional, welcoming, and on time. The restaurant is always clean and the food is always correct and well made.“

“The food is in a corner food court. There are 4 or 5 places to eat there. The cashier didn't look like he was happy to work there. When I asked a question he grumbed some answer that I could't understand. They don't have Salsa Mocaljete anymore. They was my favorite.“

“Their salsa roja is butthole burning hot 🔥 Pairs very well with their pizzabirria“

“Stumbled upon this restaurant last year during the holidays. Decided to give it a try again yesterday. But was kind of disappointed with how dry the tacos were including the meat. However the staff are extremely friendly, kind and patient. I ordered ahead. It is a little pricey but it's the only taco spot close by.“

“Very nice everything Nice food“
