| - Oddly enough, this was my first time eating at a Rubio's. I was in the area and decided to give it a try. After browsing the menu for a while, I decided to go for the Steak Burrito w/Pinto Beans instead of Black Beans ($6.29) and a Carnitas Taco ($1.69).
While I was waiting for my meal, I went to the Salsa Bar and filled up 4 cups of their spiciest Salsa. The food came out relatively fast. I decided to go for the Carnitas Taco first......it kind of like the "Street Tacos" found in Mexico.....Corn Tortilla, Meat, Onions, Cilantro, Lime Juice. I poured some Salsa on it and took a bite.....it was pretty good, but not great. It's very small and in my opinion not worth $1.69.
Next, I went for the Steak Burrito which came with a side of Chips.....bonus! I took one bite of the Burrito and became a fan. The Steak reminds me of the Carne Asada I had in So Cal growing up. The flavor of the Burrito hit home for me. The Salsa was pretty spicy too, so that was awesome! The Chips weren't that good though.....good thing I didn't pay extra for that.
Overall, it was a good dining experience. Glad I found a new quick Mexican joint.
