Always good food. Order ahead—works great!
Mary is always great I haven’t been there in a long time but the service and food are still greatness Terri
Everything was delicious! Restaurant was immaculate! Service with a smile, so helpful!!!
Casual California-style QSR San Felipe Mexican tacos and burritos. Consistent, healthy, fairly-priced, and tasty.
Great food, great service, great people, great atmosphere! We will definitely be back soon!
Rogelio is a huge reason I enjoy coming back! He’s friendly, welcoming and always working so hard. He makes me and my kid feel like family when we come in. All the other ladies I see work here work their tails off too. Food is consistent. The salsa bar is always clean. The indoor and outdoor dining areas are always clean as well.
Food is fantastic here. My food is always well cooked and has great presentation,. The employees are very nice. I always get my food really fast.
We love Rubios’s and have been to several, but none of them compare to this one. The service is outstanding, it is always clean and the staff is not only friendly, but very knowledgeable. It’s a very comfortable environment that we enjoy going to each week.
I like how easy it was to order my meal online. The menu set up is great! And the fact that my food was ready when I picked it up, and it was hot. I will definitely be ordering again 😊
I usually don’t leave these but I definitely enjoy this place and part of why I prefer the college location is because of the quality customer service from Marcie. Her positive attitude and kindness makes my Rubio experience 10/10. Thanks Marcie! - John
Rubio's Taco Tuesday is always a great experience, but I wanted to give a shout out to the staff working at this location. They were very kind and got our food out quickly, also offering to give us napkins and utensils when they dropped our order at our table. The outdoor patio was also a nice spot to have a bite, the lights were cool at night.
Fun local branch of the restaurant. It’s been a family favorite for years. I love the sweet potato cubes offered as vegetarian protein with their bowls.
I love this location for the PEOPLE! Marcie & Connie are so personable helpful & kind. I thought they got my order wrong once, but I found my missing tacos on the floor of my backseat the next day! In other words, they’re always top notch & NEVER got my order wrong. I must find myself here buying food for my household about 3 times a month! Rubio’s may seem a bit expensive & like portions are small, but it’s actually just the right amount of quality food you need! They don’t rely on the quantity over quality most restaurants use a lot these days to trick their consumers into thinking they’re getting more for their money. Rubio’s is awesome!
I now live in West Virginia...upon arriving in San Diego I already had my restaurant stops picked out. Rubio's for Taco Tuesday. I got the especial fish tacos, my sister got the shrimp. The food was so good we ate in silence.
Love that they offer taco Tuesday... great deal for really good shrimp and fish 🐟 tacos 🌮
Very good fish tacos, decent burritos. I only come here for one thing. Fish tacos! I have tried the burritos and some of the other items which are ok (good but not great). But the fish tacos just hit my palette well. The prices are reasonable for what you are getting. The service has always been great. The chips, beans, and salsas are good. Thus is a must hit for anyone coming to the area.
