Reviews for Rubio's Coastal Grill in Vista, CA
Would give 0 if I could. Me and one other customer in store. I ordered a nacho and a quesadilla. 30 min this order took while... employees laughed and joked in the back. No one apologized for wait or even acknowledged we were in the store after placing theorder. On top of waiting for no reason besides laziness, the food was made incorrectly,Not one of their better run stores. Read more
Our California Bowl and quesadillas were great. Service was slow - they appeared to be understaffed. Had to wait for napkins.... The patio needs some more umbrellas badly. Read more
Our family has been dining weekly at this location since it opened. Things have changed in negative ways and we will probably... not continue eating here. For years they had an older gentleman managing this location, but since he left things have soured. We ate here last night and told the guy taking our order that we did not want any cheese on anything due to our lactoseintolerance issues. When the order arrived, there was cheese on everything! When we pointed this out the guy just said "sorryabout that" and went on to the next customer. No offer to make it right. On top of that, the restroom was filthy, the floorssticky, the tables had not been wiped clean and there was trash everywhere. We borrowed their rag and cleaning just one tableturned it black. Sad to have to admit because we do enjoy some of their food. We're done. Read more
Love Rubios but didn?t love this location. Stopped in for a taco this Sunday evening. The place was empty with 4 employees in... the kitchen and one at the register (so adequately staffed). Garbage was overflowing, napkins were empty, I was not asked if Iwanted any salsa, and the bathroom was filthy and stunk of urine. My taco had barely any fish in it - just a ton of overcookedbreading. Not my favorite Rubios location. Read more
Been here a few times and it?s usually been a good experience. Just a few suggestions?if you say you?ll bring someone?s to go... order to the patio when it?s ready please remember. I sat outside thinking it wasn?t ready only to go back in and ask?food hadbeen sitting there and wasn?t warm. With the amount of people working behind the counter and hardly any customers inside?notsure why no one figured the order made a few minutes prior should be taken to the only person in the place who ordered in thelast few minutes. We will definitely come back but we liked this location because it was way more efficient as far as time toorder to pick up?vs the national extremely slow location in San Marcos. Read more
It?s your quintessential go-to spot for a quick (fast-food healthy) meal. In this case, it was just some tasty tacos. The place... is clean and spacious. They also have a nice shaded patio with a view of the Sycamore road and the shopping center. Iappreciated the cleanliness of their gender-neutral bathrooms and their service was friendly and efficient. Rubios isreasonably reliable and their food is consistently good, with a price range that won?t break your bank. Read more
I have been going to this restaurant from the very beginning. When Ralph owned it they had a good menu and since it was sold too... big corporate, they have buried it! The only thing good anymore is the sauces. They don't even give you beans and maybe a sampleof rice with the meals. I used to always order the shrimp burrito with fish taco and the burrito now has four pieces of shrimp total. The fish taco has a piece of fish that looks like a carrot stick. Skimpy portions, reduced quantities will end thiscompany. Spending almost $50 for these few plates doesn't make sense anymore. I would rather go to Mr Taco or anywhere they knowhow to make a quesadilla. Read more
I can see why there are so many 1-star reviews lately. I have been going to this Vista location for nearly 20 years and it has... never been this bad. This time they refused to take my phone order. When I went in the store it took nearly 30 minutes whichused to take 5. The staff seem like they're zoned out and have no customer service etiquette. The order was not the same qualityor quantity as it used to be, and the sauce was wrong (not even sure what it was but not chipotle). Prices are higher butproduct is poorer. I don't see how they will stay in business at this rate. Too bad.... Read more
