Rubio's Coastal Grill

Rubio’s Escondido. Literally just watched the guy packing my to-go bag drop a side dish container on the floor (lid stayed on) and put in directly back into my food bag straight from the floor. I literally laughed out loud and looked directly at him and he has zero concern looking right at me and placing it directly into my bag from the floor. Soooo disgusting. If that’s what they do when I am watching can you even imagine what they do if no one sees. Ugh. Sucks, zero concern for anyone’s health. Would have taken 2 seconds to make a new one but nope.

Food as usual is disgusting. Green salsa was inflating its vessel, so it has gone bad. Food is flooded with sauce. Shrimp is either over or under cooked. Breading on fish taco tastes like frying oil is long past due. Amazing how bad it can be consistently.

I haven't had Rubio's in almost 10 years and it was better than I remember. The Gourmet Chicken Tacos were perfect and the hospitality was top notch. This is easily the best meal for under 15 bucks you can get.

I have been here a couple of times, and the last two visits were disappointing. The food tasted bland, and the Mahi Mahi those smelled fishy. The tostada chips had zero salt, and the refried beans tasted watered down. It looked like what appeared to be the manager was there doing paperwork and had her receipts, laptop, and personal items strewn about one of the customer tables. Service was stellar, but the food is why we came. I would not recommend Rubios as we have had better food at the California Fish and Grill down the road.

It"s OK, cheap fast food, what do you want? I had the Mahi fish taco plate. It was fine, nothing special The fish was cooked perfectly and not overcooked. They need to fix their ripped vinyl seating. Show some pride in ownership Rubios.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp
