Great selection of Baja California style delicious food. Their lobster bowl is a must try! Daily Agua fresca and sweet teas are refreshing. Plenty of kid friendly choices in main menu and kids menu.

This is my favorite Rubio's location. This location honestly does the best job. The food has been perfect every time so far. The staff are friendly and keep the line moving. The grossmont location gives you a taco with 3 shrimp in it, this location gives like 5 or 6. Unlike the grossmont location this one has the hibiscus strawberry tea and the homestyle lemonade. Go ahead and mix em, I won't tell. . Not a lot of indoor seating but plenty of outside tables.

This location has really good food. Occasionally there are specials. The original fish tacos are crunchy and delicious

Amazing food, the meals look, taste, and are very similar to other locations so that is great, as it is consistent. The shrimp trio is probably my favorite Taco Tuesday item. Their fish tacos are also very good, as well as the shrimp and bacon burrito. The burritos do have bunch of jalapeno seeds in there that make it really spicy.
