I came in for my birthday free meal. The cashier(Bryson) was particularly helpful. A meal is always just a bit better when the employees seem to be enjoying their job. I ordered the Baja Combo plate. A burrito, a fish taco and beans/chips side. This location seems to be a notch better at the size of the burrito. I generally substitute black beans for both the side and on the burrito. It was as tasty as always, but I find I need to add some of their salsa to add to the general flavor. As a side note, Rubios picante salsa is terrible, however all of the other fresh made salad are enjoyable. I came with a friend, and the food was more than enough to split for lunch. Its location is convenient for parking, but it is busy and can take a few minutes to get the fresh made food.

Picture a more taco shack Chipotle if you’ve never been. This place is pretty fantastic when you want a fairly inexpensive, fairly healthy and pretty dang yummy meal. The boyfriend gets the beer battered fish burrito and I get the Baja chicken burrito, they’re pretty sizable and cut in half. We trade one of them for the other persons and it’s pretty great combo. Large(free) salsa bar, but I think the sauces in the«ketchup bottle» containers are the best. Staff has always been friendly to me, I think you just need to be friendly to them(pretty much the same anywhere you go and anyone you meet). Overall, a good spot– come here about every other weekend since I live nearby!

This Rubio’s in Mesa Riverview is clean and friendly. The salsa bar was clean and refreshed often. I was disappointed to find that Rubio’s is not yet on the online ordering bandwagon. I’m not a fan of waiting around and taking up a dining room seat. But I will say that my order was prepared and ready with lightening speed! The seasonal langostino burrito is always awesome, and the tomatillo salsa rivals my own(gratuitous booster). The chips and refried beans are ridiculously good. The fish tacos, citrus shrimp burrito and street tacos are excellent. Even a plain salad is good, and they will accommodate your diet; in my case adding bay shrimp and salsa only to a plain salad. Everything has been fantastic. This franchise is a good one in the chain, and I appreciate their wonderful customer service.

Rubios is always a favorite. I just stopped in for some seafood tacos and Anthony was very cordial and informative. He also seemed to be interacting and assisting the other staff as well. It is nice to see effective leadership. The food and salsa were delicious as always and it was nice to eat off of real silverware and plates. When did they start serving alcohol?! Right on…

First time at visiting a Rubio’s restaurant. I was really craving some Mexican food and this was the closest place. I ordered a burrito and a churro, my lady ordered the balsamic salad. The first hint should have been that the staff did not know how to pronounce anything in Spanish correctly. A second hint should have been that I was the only Spanish speaker in the restaurant. Overall the service was slow and poor, even taking into account the dinner rush. The quality was lacking. The salsas were fresh(the only plus) but even the hot salsa was not actually hot. Overall, poor service, bland tasting food, and even blander salsas. Next time I crave Mexican, I’ll go elsewhere.

Stopped in at about 1130 am Saturday morning 9÷12÷15. The food was delicious and the staff was exceptional. I watched the ladies cooking in the kitchen and could literally sense the love they were putting into each dish they prepared. Well done!

I don’t care much for breaded fish, ie. Rubio’s original fish tacos. However the new grilled sea bass taco with coleslaw, cilantro, lime, chipotle sauce rivals any of my fav fish taco places in California. It’s super fresh, zesty, smells delicious, and hits all the right taste buds! It’s everything a proper fish taco should be, highly recommended. Everything you read about their shrimp is also true. The grilled shrimp gourmet taco is to die for. I’ve been meaning to try it in a burrito, yes a grilled shrimp burrito! Besides the sea food, the grilled chicken quesadilla combo is one of my favorites with all the right ingredients, and the sides of guacamole, sour cream, pico, beans, and chips, yum!

I have been a long time fan of Rubio’s and will be as long as they keep doing what they do. Grilled fish tacos/burrios…YUM!!! That’s basically all I care about here. Decent salsa bar, sodas blah blah blah… end of story. Come… Eat…Go forth happy

Went here last week for dinner. We frequent the 44th and Indian School location and have been to another location in the west Valley. LOVE their food. But this location was probably one of the dirtiest restaurants I have ever been to or I can remember going to. Trash everywhere, spilled food all over the floors, dirty tables… I’m honestly not very picky and understand being busy, messy customers, etc. But I was preoccupied with thinking about how dirty everything else might have been the whole time I was eating. There were two or three other people in there, so it wasn’t like they were swamped. Food wasn’t great either. I won’t be coming back.

One of the better fast casual Mexican restaurants pretty much ever and I don’t even eat fish. Always get something with chicken and Rubio has never let me down despite many strange menu changes over the years. In this visit, tried the two taco combo with rice and chips for about 8 bucks(about a buck more than it should be really). The chipotle sauce they drizzle on the chicken makes these tacos have a nice smoky taste. Use the coupon option to get a free large drink and you have a decent, healthy lunch. Lots of high tops at this location and a salsa bar that uses two sides finally.

Definitely recommend this place if you’re bored when you get off work on Taco Tuesday and hit the dinner rush hour. Its refreshing to sit and wait 30 minutes for your order and afterwards wondering if the reason I feel like vomiting and having explosive diarrhea is either a gift from god pushing your Faith or possible food poisoning. I don’t know if I’m just lucky enough to be the only person to feel this way especially on God’s day(Taco Tuesday) or if they were in a big rush during dinner rush hour. Won’t be going back again.

Good food, always clean, always friendly, and reasonable prices. We frequently come here for some quick good Mexican. It’s fast food without feeling like fast food. I’ve never been disappointed in anything I have ever gotten here. It’s all good from the chicken to the shrimp. I would probably even enjoy their veggie options.

By far the best Rubio’s we’ve been to. The food is perfection here at the Riverview location. I’ve been to other locations and the burritos never come close. Usually, you get too much filler in the form of rice and beans with sparse protein. If I wanted that, I’d go to Chipotle! Riverview Rubio’s definitely packs the meat into their fare. My favorites are the shrimp or chicken burritos and the salmon or ahi tacos. Enchiladas are okay too. Service is always the deciding factor for me though and the staff and manager John are definitely ahead of the pack!

Rubio’s is good, light and tasty Baja Mexican food. I dig the concept, vibe and food. Definitely a favorite! Beats Qdoba and Chipotle hands down.

My husband, kids and I love Rubio’s, especially me. I’ve been to a lot of Rubio’s and I always get the same great service and delicious food consistently, that’s why we continue to go here. We got an Ancho Shrimp Burrito and it was so yummy. Used a birthday cert and I gave my son the burrito and he wolfed it down. He always gets some shrimp thing. TJ, the manager that helped me when I went to pick up my order comped the rest of the burrito for the birthday. So, it was completely free instead of making me pay another $ 1+. That was very kind of him and totally unexpected. We just happened to be in the area and my son was hungry and I had a certificate to use, so we stopped by here. Will come back to again when we are in the area, but we have been here a few times over the past 2 – 3 years and always excellent! Thank you, TJ!

Where to begin hmmm… great food, reasonable prices, very clean dinning area, super friendly staff. Also, they have whole grain tortillas and veggie meal options(the veggie burrito is to die for), and a selection of beers and other spirits, and very delicious mango tea.

Came here for the first time around August last year and sadly haven’t been back since. But I’ve been craving fish tacos and for some reason thought today was their special($ 1.50 fish tacos on Tuesdays) but discovered it is Tuesdays they do it. I got their trio with an original fish taco, salsa verde shrimp taco, and a tilapia taco. Also some chips cuz I love their salsa(the green tomatillo is best) I enjoyed it payed little over $ 10 after tax. Don’t care for the price so the $ 1.50 is probably the best day to come especially cuz their original fish taco is in my opinion the best. I’ll be back. Great service there and they sell their salsa $ 5 for a 12oz cup.

After a subpar Rubio’s experience at another location last week, I decided to give this location a try because I was craving Mexican food for lunch. I ordered: Chicken Street Taco, $ 1.89 Steak Burrito Especial, $ 6.99 The food came out in a short period of time and despite being busy, the cashier remembered who I was and took the food out to my table instead of calling my name… great service! The Chicken Taco was very good. The Steak Burrito Especial was even better. The Steak was juicy and full of flavor. All of the ingredients were fresh and complimented each other. Of course, I got the spiciest Salsa from the Salsa Bar to eat with the food. I love their Salsa Bar. Overall, a pretty good experience. Return Factor — 70%
