    The first photo is what is advertised and the second is what you get. I ordered it without the black beans but apparently i shouldn't have because the lack of protein is evident. $11.49 before tax but after is $16.62 for 5 shrimp in a strongly sauced dish, the server was nice but the food was abysmal at best. Highly disappointed.

    I don't remember having any problems with Rubio's. The food is good and not fast food. Nice Variety of food, and it's good.

    A small water bottle is $2.99! The beans only taste like pepper and watered down too. The only flavor to the Verde tacos is the one piece of cheese you randomly come across in each one. I like the idea of healthier, but not the idea of a rip off.

    Part of my order was wrong, I ordered the 2 chicken taco plate and received a 2 fish taco plate, usually I wouldn't have minded but the batter for the fish tacos had way too much seasoning on it, all I could taste was oregano, no fish. This location used to be good, but the last time I came here was prior to covid.

    Good food, honestly

  • 4/5 Rafael I. 2 years ago on Google
    Great tacos, unfortunately delivered cold to our table.

  • 5/5 Preston H. 2 years ago on Google
    Fish Tacos Especial are the bomb! Great food, huge portions, and classic San Diego flavors. Thanks.

  • 3/5 Patricia D. 2 years ago on Google
    For a good taco, you need good soft tortilla, my taco tortilla felt hard and reheated. The salad bowl was great very tasty with Chipotle sauce.

    It was so bad I called their customer service department to complain and of course nobody ever did anything nobody called me back nobody offered to refund my money I don't know that I will ever go to Rubio's again and it used to be one of my favorites UPDATE - Rubios contacted me and asked me to fill out a survey and said someone would contact me AND they never have - where is Ralph Rubio when you need him - it makes it even worse when they ask you about your experience and you take the time to complete the questions honestly and it probably goes in a garbage can! All I want is my $24 back that I paid for a lousy lunch - DONT GO HERE EVER

  • 5/5 Peter P. 7 years ago on Google
    The cashier was friendly and helpful. I ordered the classic shrimp burrito plate that comes with beans, chips, and a drink. Food tastes delicious, although burrito could use a few more shrimps. Great variety of drinks and restroom is very clean. Prices are a little above average, be prepared to spend over $10- $11 each for lunch.

  • 5/5 Filtaon B. 2 years ago on Google
    Fresh food, sometimes portions are small or food is burned. I like Rubio's because of the more healthy option that they have, such as the salmon bowl. The salsa is pretty good. The employees are nice. The atmosphere perfectly matches the theme of the food. And the food is fresh, easy, and delicious!

  • 5/5 Deborah T. D. 2 years ago on Google
    Rubio's is the best! The fish tacos are very tasty. The restaurants are clean and the service is impeccable.

  • 5/5 Rosie C. N. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff. Clean and organized. I ordered the Shrimp Trio. 3 kinds of taco, prepared differently, which were individually wrapped, and choices of salsa. I was impressed! Each taco was very tasty, fresh and so satisfying. The shrimp was cooked just right, moist and seasoned well. I will definitely order from their menu again. I highly recommend this Rubio's.

  • 1/5 Marisela S. 2 years ago on Google
    I like Rubios a lot but lately is been so hard to eat there, tonight got the gourmet tacos and the onions a cilantros were already bad in side the tacos and on the side cups, like 2 weeks ago the salsa in the cups was bubbling, and like a month ago the side of red rice was burned!!! I have mentioned to the employees working at the time but it keeps happening so maybe I just need to find a new restaurant!!!

    This place constantly gets my orders wrong and I have repeatedly had to come back to correct their mistakes

  • 5/5 Bryce 9 months ago on Google
    So far the best Rubio's I've been to in SD. You can tell the plates are made with care, tortilla chips are fresh and not stale, and the salsa's are mixed to perfection. Will keep returning.

  • 3/5 Alex C. 7 months ago on Google
    Busy during lunch hours. False advertising. Ad on door and wall menu shows $2.25 for the original fish taco, for Taco Tuesday. I was charged $2.50 each. There's way too much batter on fish compared to other locations. I ordered 3 tacos. 2 had more batter than fish. First bite was all batter. Venue was cleaned and organized. Plenty of parking.

    We made a pit stop here and was very impressed with the service level. Aleksei and Troy were kind, courteous and exceptionally pleasant.

  • 4/5 L. G. de C. 1 year ago on Google
    Too much rice in my burrito. Jaded responses from the manager, but helpful and accommodating nonetheless. Watched the sunset from the patio.

  • 5/5 Tarsa D. 1 year ago on Google
    Always good food. Very nice staff! Clean.

  • 3/5 Elizabeth 4 years ago on Google
    The bowl was good, but their burritos are rather small. The gourmet taco with crispy cheese was overall pretty good, but bacon was pretty much all you could taste in it.

  • 5/5 Ernesto H. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious fish taco experience. Love that despite the Baja Chicken Burrito taken off the menu, the workers were able to create it. Highly recommended!!

  • 2/5 Judd A. 1 year ago on Google
    Most of us know that Rubio's has been on a downhill slide for a while now. I'm thinking since it became a "coastal grill". There are far too many great options for tacos here in San Diego to bother with over priced, bland fish tacos....

  • 5/5 Jason K. 2 years ago on Google
    Fish taco lunch special, for under $10. The price alone was enough to make me happy, some good tacos to boot.

  • 4/5 Britt M. 3 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Rick B. 3 years ago on Google
    I just drove 15 minutes and picked up my favorite "shrimp and bacon borrito". It was way to spicy to eat. When I called she said sometimes that happens.

  • 5/5 Jaime F. 3 years ago on Google
    Best service. Delicious food.

  • 5/5 Christensen C. 3 years ago on Google
    The best fish tacos I've ever had and so crunchy. Tuesdays they are only $1.50 each. You can find Rubio's everywhere lately. I've been a fan of Rubio's for a long time. I do miss the Mahi-Mahi Burrito they used to serve, but there are other choices that are good there. The food is fresh and made to order. Grilled fish tacos, and burritos are my first choice.
