Rubio's

For a Sat. night they only had one girl up front, running the register, taking phone orders anddelivering food to tables. She was swamped but never lost her cool, was very polite, very friendly and very efficient. The kitchen rocked. They were able to get the food out quickly. But only having one person on a Saturday night up front? There was a longer wait than I've ever had before and unfortunately I did notice at least two people leaving because they did not want to wait. Having said that the food was yummy as usual and the service was outstanding.

Once in a blue moon l grab a quick lunch at Rubio's. I got a bean and cheese burrito which l generously filled and smothered at their salsa sauce bar. Rubio's has a very good selection of complimentary sauces to choose from. Mild, spicy, chipotle (smoky) flavors and tomatillo sauces are neatly displayed in a large self-serve cart. Slices of lemons, peppers and chopped cilantro/onions are also available. My burrito was plentiful, order was quick, staff was great and it cost me $5.74. Not bad for a once in a blue moon fast food lunch! Here is a well-deserved 5 star for Rubio's.

As far as chains go Rubio's is pretty good (hey even Filly b's is a chain). I've been going to this particular location since I was 8 and they have always been consistent. The restaurant is clean and the food is always hot and fresh. The only thing that I would change are the prices but as you already know those are going up EVERYWHERE. I would recommend the taquitos (totally not Mexican at all) or one of their burritos. Oh and since I was 8 means I've been going here for 21 years. God I'm old.
