Rubio's Coastal Grill, Encinitas CA

They were not patient enough for my wife who was not fluent in English. She was slow on ordering the food and the guy got very impatient. She was crying after she ordered the food. This all happened while I was out getting my cellphone in the car.

Shout out to Rubios! For a birthday party we ordered 15 burritos (30 halves) and a quesadilla platter for the kids. All was delivered on time right to Moonlight beach. We got a lot of compliments. Delivery drivers were very friendly. They included lots of salsas, a big box of silverware, and the sides are more than they look like in the pictures. It was plently of food. 100% recommend.

The advertisement/coupons are great and all and the food looks fantastic. When actually getting a bowl here the proportions are quite small and yet still fairly expensive. The taste is meh at best, why did you guys lower the proportion sizes from earlier this year. My dinner is now more or less a snack. I’m 6 3” 200 pounds, most places that sell dinner for 12-15$ everything is made in proportions to at bare minimum satisfy someone of my size. I’m always hungry after eating here.

Got the coastal trio and the shrimp bowl. Both were very tasty and fresh with good portion sizes.

Longtime Rubio's fan from days when you could count on a super tasty value meal. I've been disappointed the last couple of years and given them a pass because of the pandemic. But no more. Prices are crazy high and the food just isn't any good anymore. The Coastal Trio was cold and the fish (?) Either soggy or chewy - ugh! I'd be willing to pay the higher price, but the quality and flavor just aren't there. Sad.

Update 6/30: Sorry to say, sad to report but no real improvement. After being comp'd a meal for 2star review, I tried shrimp trio taco and ate on the patio. Taste and texture better, but third taco fell completely fell apart. I may give a burrito another shot sometime, but for my money I'm looking for Chipotle to re-open and new Mendocino Farms. Encinitas is a tough fast food market. Have seen many come and go. May be time gor Rubio's to bid farewell.

The menu difficult to understand all that is offered. They have a big poster of a dish but no price and it's not listed on the main menu. I am 'sauce free' in my diet and I caught the order in time to leave the sauce off my taco. This apparently made my order take longer to do. But they also left the sauce off the other one (for my husband) but that's okay. Everyone should go sauce free. I moved here from the LA area 5 years ago. Rubio's is such a SD thing because of the founder. The town I came from only got one in 2010 I think. Up there it's Baja Fresh everywhere. Honestly the fish tacos at Del T are just as good for a way lower price. I hardly ever go to a Rubio's.

I live Rubio's but three are having a hard time finding reliable employees. They got my order wrong twice. I had to return once to fix it and when I got home it was wrong again.

This location has messed up my order two times in a row. Very very bad experience. Avoid at all costs unless you are ordering menu items exactly as they are written with absolutely no modifications.

Rubio’s has been serving healthy, delicious Baja Mexican food for over 30 years! I love the blackened salmon.

I bought a cheese quesadilla and I got a Chicken quesadilla, I bought chicken nuggets and there was no chicken in them, and I got the California bowl and it was only half way filled

Litterally called over the phone to make sure they got my order right and explain exactly what I wanted. Don't know if they gave me the wrong order or the chefs didn't care enough but it wasn't even close. The manager was nice about it but I'm not going to Rubio's for the nice service.

The cashier was excellent, polute, friendly, helpful however the Encinitas Rubiis chicken quesadilla was disappointed, the guacamole etc was little and wet, the tasty was not the same and the restaurant smells like a house that was close forever, smelling must.
Rubios it's an excellent food chain but this one in Encinitas needs to improve except for the cashier that was awesome!

Love the food from Rubio's. Service time at this location is long. Busy place, so order well in advance.

The STREET CORN SHRIMP TACO is one of the best things I have ever eaten! I always switch the tortillas to flour because I like the texture and the taste better. The trio of shrimp tacos was delicious too. I love the Salsa Verde Grilled Shrimp Taco and the Street Corn Shrimp Taco! They are all so fresh and full of flavor. The staff is great, and they did a wonderful job with takeout. I am gonna be dreaming about these tacos. You gotta try them.

So BOMB! I got a bowl so healthy you pick your protein (meat) and its a healthy full! Mmm mm mm!

I love this Rubio’s! The restaurant is really pretty and has a lot of seating, indoor and outdoors. The staff is fantastic too! They’re all very kind. This location has a new taco called Mexican Street Corn Shrimp Taco and I am in love! It is so delicious. I’ve always loved the Verde Shrimp Taco, but now I have a new favorite. It has roasted corn and crispy melted cheese.yum! I already can’t wait to go back for more.

Team was super friendly even with all the run around to serve only on patio for dine in patrons.

I order some food for pickup. When I came in the store I was greeted by the manager Jacob. Jacob was very friendly and had my order ready. The food was great! I just wanted to thank Jacob for the great customer service and friendliness! Specially with all this pandemic is nice to deal with friendly people like Jacob! Thank you again for the great experience.
