I have been to many Rubio's throughout the valley and this one consistently has the best service. I told the servers that the syrup was out on the soda and it was fixed in less than 5 minutes. The servers always have a smile on their faces and are quick to bring out our food. I love returning to this location!

Don't ya hate it when your favorite menu item is removed? (I realize this is a first world problem.) I used to go to Rubio's for their grilled mesquite shrimp burrito. Since they don't have that anymore, I don't have a "Rubio's fav" anymore. No reason to go. A friend of mine chose it as our lunch location the other day & so I went. Tried the current taco special. Can't remember what it was, so it didn't leave an impression. The mesquite grilled shrimp burrito was the only thing I ordered! If I craved it - I knew what I was having for lunch or dinner. No more. It's been over a year since I've chosen Rubio's. It takes time for me to find a favorite, and I don't want to start over again, especially if there is the risk of it being removed from the menu! So much work thrown aside! Ha! Funny but true.

Last Friday was the first time we've eaten inside this Rubio's. We've always ordered take out. And we were super pleased, especially me about this Rubio's. The manager, Keith, was super nice and totally busy the whole time we were there. We could tell there was a huge focus on keeping things clean and neat. The floors were clean. All the tables were cleaned. As soon as someone left, someone there would clean the table. They were organizing and keeping things stocked, like the salsa bar. I had commented the Rubio's we most frequent, the one on Germann and Gilbert Road isn't always so clean. Keith also explained to us that none of the Rubio's in AZ are franchises. I had commented to him we always get great service at all the Rubio's we've been to, and we've been to all of them in the Southeast Phx Valley multiple times. There were some young workers in there, but that's fine. They had great attitudes, willingness to learn and just were busy working. Awesome Rubio's!!! We'll come more often. The food is good as usual.

This Rubios location is the best around. The manager is great and very involved in the daily activities. Beyond that the food is excellent. I love love love the gourmet steak taco plate as well as the mango habenero fish taco which is tasty as well. Your going to pay between $8 - $11 for a full plated meal. Not the least expensive by any means, but its fresh and the service is great!

My wife and I decided on a whim to check out Rubio's. I had a burrito and she had a salad. The total came out to 16 dollars which I thought was really high but I figured they must give you a lot of delicious food. In short, the burrito was not very large and I still felt hungry afterwards. The food was pretty good but it wasn't 16 dollars worth of deliciousness. My wife also thought the salad was ok but not amazing. They do seem to put a lot of effort into atmosphere and decorations, so maybe they have to make enough money to afford the decorations.

Standard Rubio's Baja-style Mexican fare, with friendly service. The salsa bar has 3-4 different salsas to choose from, including a green tomatillo salsa and chipotle. The mahi mahi burrito was a large portion with big chunks of fish, a flavorful sauce, with cabbage, guacamole and rice.

The food is pretty good, but I have to give this location 2 stars because of some service issues. I ordered a veggie burrito, only to find chunks of chicken in it halfway through eating. Upon alerting the staff, someone in the kitchen said to me "oh yeah I accidentally put chicken in it, so I just picked it out. It was an accident". Everyone that works here seems to be in middle school, so I guess that explains the casual attitude. Regardless, that's a totally unacceptable food handling habit, especially considering this place sells shellfish. I am a vegetarian, so I was a little grossed out, but I glad that I don't have a serious food allergy. The bathrooms are also consistently dirty. We'll be finding a different location to try out.

I'm on the edge of 3 and 4 stars here. We have been here twice now and neither time has been bad. The staff is very nice and the flavor is solid. A few key things for me here; the first time we came the beans were good but the second time they were bland, not a big deal, but I like consistency. The chips are ok, add lime and they get a lot better! The burrito was packed with tomatos and guac and a little bit of chicken, the chicken was really good! So we will be back again definitely even if it's only to figure out exactly how we feel about it. And I want to try the fish tacos!

food is consistently good, although a little overpriced, but this is true for all Rubio's franchises. staff are friendly and food comes out fast which is good when you need a quick lunch bite. the only thing I don't like about Rubio's is that it always feel like the tables inside are sticky. drives me nuts!

I call this chain..ole reliable. Never had a bad meal here in at least ten years. On this day, tried the grilled chicken taco combo plate classic style. The one thing that wasn't that great was the white sauce they douse the chicken in before it ends up on your tacos. It is not a bad sauce, but I think that might be the same one they use on fish and it doesn't belong on poultry. Regardless, the two tacos for 7 bucks were loaded up on white chicken chunks and mostly lettuce and the chips were super crispy at the location and the rice was above average. I will order no white sauce next time and this will be back to it's usual four stars rating.

I'm a 'menu walker' whenever I have the opportunity to go somewhere repeatedly. Over the past several years, the menu at Rubio's has undergone some churn, but the standards are still around. The fish tacos are inexpensive and great -- I prefer the 'especial' version, which cost a bit more for ... This one is above average due to the staff and they should be commended; always fast, friendly and helpful.

I usually don't branch out from standard quesadillas and burritos, but I tried the fish taco's and really liked them. I did also get a quesadilla on another occasion and really liked it, especially b/c it came with sour cream and guac, which a lot of places charge extra for. Also, it was crispy and hot, unlike a lot of places which come out greasy and soggy. I will probably go here again with my friends who really like this place.

Like this Rubio's, it's kind of on a lake/man made pond so the view when eating outside is nice. Love their steak and fish taco meals. They have a salsa bar too, which is a plus in my book! Service was really fast for my to go order and the lady even brought it to me without calling my number.

Amber B.
This was the best fish taco I've ever had! I've never had a fish taco before, but it probably will remain in the top anyway. It was a flavor explosion of beer battered fish, crunchy cabbage, guac, and two sauces mixed together. One was red, and one was white. I have NO clue what they were, but they mixed together to create a delicious flavor explosion that made my taste buds dance with appreciation. The side of pinto beans is pretty esoteric, more soupy than you'd normally get, and with the chips you get access to the complimentary salsa bar, which has lots of options. I will be back for sure.

When I go to Rubio's, I only have one menu item on my mind, the self proclaimed World Famous Fish Taco. On rare occasions, I have foolishly strayed away from the fish taco in some misguided attempt at variety, and been disappointed. I'm not trying to say that the other menu items aren't any good, it's just that the fish taco is what they are known for and what they do best. They are balanced just right, corn tortilla with crispy fish, cabbage, sauce, lime and hot salsa (added from the salsa bar). However, these babies have a short half-life and deteriorate quickly. I do not recommend them for take out, and if you opt for the two taco plate, I would resist the urge to munch on the chips and pinto beans and devour those tacos while they are hot and fresh. The service is always quick and friendly, and sets Rubio's apart from many order at the counter/take out restaurants. They can be very busy around lunch time, but the manager and employees still ask how everything was while they clear your plates. They really seem to care about the patron having a good meal.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
