Rubio's Coastal Grill

The wife and I used to visit this location all the time years ago, but recently it has gone down hill. Normally the food always tastes fresh and vibrant, while recently it seems like it is either not being turned over quick enough or some is being reused past its self life.

The cabbage wasn't as crispy in my lobster taco, and the lobster was dry and disappointing; the shrimp taco was so so, and the street corn was discolored. My wife's Original Fish Taco was mushy instead of the normal crispy and fresh corn taco. Normally I can kill a plate, but couldn't finish it due to how sad it was.

The kitchen staff seemed to not have things organized either; two of them were going back and forth about giving out the wrong item, while the front girl rolled her eyes at them and shook her head like it's a normal occurrence.

Even the drinks were not well tended to: the normal iced tea was watered down, almost like water was added to already brewed tea or a cycle was ran with little to no tea. The mango tea was fine, which is what I ended up going with.

Something just isn't right at this place right now. Maybe this was just a bad day, but with the food seemingly being stored past when it should, I doubt it.

I'd say avoid this location for now, and hopefully management will invest some energy back into it to be how Rubios is supposed to be - fresh, vibrant, and flavorful food.

All that said, I do have to compliment the salsa bar, because it was one thing that looked great. It was well stocked, the small containers were full, and there were available napkins.

I stopped going to this location years ago because the food wasn't as good anymore. I decided to give them another try on taco Tue this week during my lunch break and I was blown away by the service and the delicious food. Tacos were amazingly flavorful like I remember them. I went back at night to get more because I was craving the flavor again. The salsa bar was super clean and stocked. The staff was very friendly and courteous. I will be back for sure, thank you!!!!!

The employees of this store are always friendly. My orders are correct even though I make a lot of changes. The salsa bar is cleaned and typically completely full. $2.50 for an original taco makes this one of my Taco Tuesday places. Highly recommend.
