| - My fiancée and I were in the mood for a quick bite after having seen a movie next door at the AMC Theater.
She is familiar with this franchise; however, it was the first visit for me.
Some others reviewers of this location have reported their food being cold, incorrect orders, and poor service.
Perhaps beginners luck had something to do with it for us because our experience was fairly positive overall.
We shared the Coastal Trio, which included an Original Fish Taco, a Salsa Verde Shrimp Taco, and a Blackened Mahi Mahi Taco.
We also ordered a Beer-Battered Fish Burrito, which consisted of Wild Alaska Pollock, guacamole, black beans, Rubio's white sauce, mild salsa, shredded cabbage, and a cilantro/onion mix.
We were dining in and we arrived in the late afternoon when the restaurant was fairly quiet.
The service was friendly, prompt, and both of our orders arrived at our table in a reasonable amount of time.
The food was served, everything was correct, and the portions were plenty for us to share.
The quality of the food was also very good in our opinion.
The Mahi Mahi was not overcooked or over seasoned, we could taste the shrimp, which had a tasty grilled flavor, and the batter on the fish in the Original Fish Taco had a nice, light crunch.
The burrito was as good as any we've ordered at other, similar restaurant chains, although I much prefer the seafood version at Rubio's.
Our lunch came to a little more than $20, so the prices were maybe a bit higher than we normally pay at restaurant of this type in a strip mall. However, the tab for lunch was certainly not that much more than other chains such as Chipotle and the food was considerably more satisfying.
