      I order the shrimp quesadilla which is my fave at Rubio's. This specific location always has pretty fast service and the food is always nice, hot and fresh. I will definitely be back again!

      I came in for a pickup order and within two minutes two separate employees had very rudely responded to me. I understand they have a rush but learn to speak to your customers better. This is the last time I get food at this location.

      Great pickup experience for taco Tuesday night.
      Workers were nice. The chipotle salsa is my FAVORITE to go with the fish taco especials. Rubio's food quality at every location has been pretty consistent. I love going here for fish tacos on taco tuesday.
      The workers here seem less experienced than at other locations, however.

      Still one star. Ordered online thru the app & it said order would be ready at 7:11pm. Nope. Husband had to sit for an additional 30 minutes. The best part? We ordered a kid's meal THAT COMES WITH A SODA & the guy who handed him the order said "here's a complimentary drink on us"..that we PAID FOR! We're done with this Rubios.

      I went on Taco Tuesday and it was busy as expected. The service was relatively quick but the classic fish tacos were very average. They were lacking in flavor and I had to drown them in sauce. It was a good price, but average tacos. I would just come back if I want to get a lot of food for cheap.

      I came in here to get some ice tea and they have unsweetened mango and passionfruit! The girl who helped me was extraordinarily friendly and I got a mango iced tea to go. They give refills!!

      Food is overpriced and garbage. I had the bacon and shrimp burrito and the cheese was burned, the tortilla was just ripped to shreds when I picked it up. It is mostly rice with 2 pieces of shrimp, and couldn't find the bacon. Customer service was mediocre at best.
