| - I haven't been to a Rubio's in probably 10 years. I'm obsessed with trying new tacos all the time so figured I'd give this old place a go again, and was pleasantly surprised. I love seafood, though not fish really, but found their flagship fish tacos to be pretty dang delicious and surprisingly filling.
I personally ordered the langostino lobster tacos, which were sooo good despite being completely drowned in butter. There was a small oily lake at the bottom of my takeout box that rendered the tacos a messy eat, but they were worth the mess & the calories. The lobster was really sweet and had a nice fresh flavor.
The grilled shrimp burrito, which my boyfriend remembered fondly, was just okay. Definitely looked better than it tasted. I hate rice in burritos, so I might be a bit biased. For one, gross, and two, it's entirely too filling when you're attempting to work your way through trying one of everything on the menu. I might try their shrimp tacos if I go back.
My only complaints are one, the salsas. I didn't find any of the 5 or so they had to be all that appealing. They did have a bottle of some diablo hot sauce that was more my speed, however. I couldn't eat any of my (not salty enough) tortilla chips though because the salsas tasted funky. Complaint two is the soup-like beans, which had zero flavor in them. I added salt, hot sauce, lime, and eventually cheese and tried dipping my chips in them but I could not make them palatable. Decent tacos, shitty sides.
Location is nice, clean, and the guy at the counter who helped us was courteous. I might come back again.
