⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been coming to this Rubio’s since I was a kid, and now I come here with my own kids. It’s one of those places that just feels familiar in the best way. The people who work here are like family. Always welcoming, always kind, and they remember you. The food is consistently good, and the atmosphere is easy and comfortable. I come here a lot, sometimes two or three times a week, and it never gets old. This place has been part of my life for a long time, and I’m really grateful for it.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Johnny Miano · Mar 2026

Food was solid for the price. Atmosphere was way too bright - felt like a cafeteria Service was great. Andrew at the register was warm and friendly, and patient in reviewing the newer lobster dishes with us.

The staff went above and beyond. I am often running around for work and rarely eat any other fast food except Rubios. Your food is fresh and healthy. I wish you had more locations. Please open one in Bend Oregon. There are so many Californians there that I know it would be very successful. An In and Out opened in Bend and they are printing money at that location. It is always packed.

I have always enjoyed Rubios fish tacos! Tuesday $2.50 Special is a good deal. I got 3 fish tacos with all the fixings. Thoroughly enjoyed them and totally satisfied!

★★★★★ 5.0 Encinitas Tony · Nov 2025

With the cost of food being so high, I am grateful to Rubio's for maintaining Taco Tuesday and their other deals. The crew at the Encinitas location is always hustling on Taco Tuesday. I am grateful to them for staying positive and serving me with a smile. Please pass along my thanks!
