Always enjoy Rubio's. Their plates can be creative and all of their food has that "fresh" feel. The shrimp bowl could use a little more shrimp, but still hit the spot as their food usually does.

The Wild Caught Mahi Mahi taco plate was a great portion and very tasty! I recommend you get it blackened it adds so much flavor. The staff is always very nice there as well.

Former Costa Mesa resident now residing in CO. Unfortunately no more Rubio’s in CO so whenever I’m out here I put in an online order and as always food comes out fast and tasty. Fish tacos are a must and their burritos are really good too. Highly recommended!

I mobile order via the app I had two separate app orders and then I arrived both were ready and hot thats under 15 mins my food was ready! I got salsa and each salsa was clean all around the rim was totally clean cups and lids perfectly stocked and my drink cup was ready with my order. It was so perfect I was in and out in less than 5 mins and while its not required when I entered EVERYONE said hello and welcome even the kitchen and both women at the front knew I was there for pick up and were ready. I will be coming more often whatever changes have been made are amazing. Great team, we'll prepared crispy tortilla on my burrito clean salsa bar with clean spoons. This is a 10/10 I dont usually write reviews but this was awesome! My order was completed at 5:40p.m. today

Great food as usual. We especially like how the restaurant was not jam packed with diners. It could also be the timing around 3pm. Love the location, environment & best of all, the food.

We’ve been to this Rubio’s multiple times! They always meet our expectations, and are delicious 🤤! The bowl I got on a recent visit was the best thing I’ve ever had there. We go to this Rubio’s nearly every time we go to Newport and we are always pleased by it! I would definitely recommend this Rubio’s! The workers are nice and the service is great! Also one thing I am always pleased with is their clean bathrooms!

Great food, several options for dining, eat inside, outside or to go. The flavors are great and you can order it your way from the menu. The food is always prepared hot and tasty while you wait by a great team of cooks and they servers.

Overall the tacos are pretty good except for the tortillas they were corn and a bit hard I got the street tacos and they didn't double up the tortillas as well but overall it was a good lunch I would go back

Rubios fish tacos are a classic quick taco treats. Love getting the fish tacos. The chips were a bit cold but their food is still good.

Fast, tasty food! Quick, accommodating service! I called and placed a pick up order...it was ready in 10 minutes and employees were friendly made sure we had everything we needed. And the shrimp trio tacos are killer!

Shared some tacos with the wife. I did the Mexican street corn shrimp tacos. She got the fish. I loved mine, loaded with toppings and sauce. Her fish were just ok. Could have been better.

I ordered the California bowl with chicken which was delicious, but deducting a star because of too much rice. I had the chicken tortilla soup which was also good but again, had way too much rice.

Quantity was my disappointment. Tastes great, but for the price. A half full bowl and skinny burrito feels like a rip off

I paid $45.00 for two lobster burritos with no beans. I recieved what resembled 2 taco smell bean burritos with no rice and extra beans. The manager hung up on me (as I was being polite), and then when I called back a third time, she told me "because you ordered it from Uber Eats (the place they make you order delivery from, otherwise they dont deliver) that they do not guarantee the quality of their food. See my reciept, and this disgustimg excuse for a 25 dolllar burrito.. wow, I feel swindled.

Very unfriendly staff, doesn’t know the words thank you, please and so on. They don’t explain anything, the menu needs to be understood by feeling. The faces are very dissatisfied. I came in a good mood, I’m leaving with a terrible one, eat your tacos with yesterday’s cold chicken yourself.

40 min for 3 tacos and still got the order wrong! Extremely rude staff!
