I have been coming to this Rubio's since it opened 20 years ago. I recently was in the area with my wife and we had our well behaved pup with us. We had a tradition the past few years of bringing our dog with us late at night and eating on the patio. When we got to the patio it smelled worse than a dumpster. It smelled like the trash had not been taken out in a week.
Inside was even worse as visible through the glass was trash on 3 or 4 tables with no one bothering to pick it up. They seemed severely understaffed as I saw only 1 employee who did not come out for a few minutes while my wife and I debated if we wanted to eat there tonight.
When I went in to order I looked at the salsa bar and they were all almost empty. What salsa was there looked old as if it had been there since they opened. There was also salsa all over the counters. It was at that point that I walked out and we went elsewhere for Mexican food.
I could not be more disappointed. In the past week I also had been to the Mesa location which was in pristine condition as well as the one in the Chandler Mall.
I will not be coming back to this location until they get it together. If they don't they will face the same fate as most of the other locations to the left of them have over the years and go out of business as they will lose customers due to the disgusting conditions of the establishment..
