The food was absolutely amazing! We ordered three family taco kits. One was the shrimp, one was the steak, and one was the chicken. All very delicious! The only thing I wish was that each kit included more than 8 tortillas, as the amount of food included in each one was way more then that and we had to buy more tortillas. Other than that, we are very happy with our order

Have been eating fish tacos for years. The food is consistent, it honestly is not as good as when this joint first opened, but they offer a good selection and change up the menu every so often.

The store just opened up for the day and I wanted to order the classic fish tacos. So good! :) They were cooked fresh and served hot! None of the toppings were old, so everything about it was crunchy fresh and wonderful! Friendly staff, fresh food, and a clean restaurant. *thumbs up

Stopped at Rubios for lunch today. Had the Original Fish Taco Plate. Always good! I love their fire roasted salsa. It is unique and has not changed in 30 years. I just love the charred flavor it has. I am happy that they are open and it's great to see that they are busy as well.
