Rubio’s

Rubios is our favorite place to eat, in Tucson, Az! We were a little apprehensive about this restaurant, because of some of the reviews online! We decided to try it anyway! The food and service were excellent! The working manager, was personable, and very helpful! Would recommend Rubios, Ramona, Ca to everyone!

EDIT: Got sick last night; ate 3 fish tacos around 6, vomiting at 1 am. This is not the first time I’ve had this experience with these guys. I will be writing a letter to corporate on their food handling practices, as a couple of other posters have had this problem.
It’s been remodeled fairly recently, but now it’s even more expensive.
At one point in history, Rubio’s was cheap, local, had a lot more menu options, and even had tropical fish tanks for flair! Corporate America got control, now the place is like a faster, healthier and better quality Long John Silver’s.
I guess the upkeep on tropical fish was an unnecessary expense, but would it kill quarterly percentages to have the $ 1.50 fish taco deal a regular thing during summer months again? Where’s the langostino lobster promos?! Why does a two taco plate and a side of beans with 10 chips cost $ 8.50? Why does it smell like bathroom cleaner whenever I walk into the lobby? And Ramona Rubio’s, for God sakes, why isn’t there four people on three register tills on Tuesday nights?! That’s obviously your heaviest time for clientele because of Fish Taco Tuesdays.
Addressing these things would be swell. Also, please have more than one trash can in the lobby again. Thanks.

I love Rubio’s! Every Friday I go for the two fish taco plate. The staff is always fast & courteous and the tables are always clean. Food has never been inconsistent and always delicious! Great stop if you live here or are just passing through…

:(had the Atlantic salmon taco for dinner last night and woke up with food poisoning.

The cashier, Kailey, had a reason why things couldn’t be done and even though I specified what my friends wanted numerous times, she still got our orders wrong. Since it was to go, I didn’t find out until later. The food was good, but it took 25 minutes to get ready (which seems too long for three plates of food consisting of chips, beans and two tacos each; the restaurant was not crowded). After our orders were ready, Kailey said that she could not mark each box with which order was which. I asked if she had a pen. She begrudgingly scribbled on each box, so it still wasn’t legible at all (which wasn’t helpful to us). I gave up and left. I would have given a higher rating if it wasn’t for the poor customer service and lack of attention-​to-​detail. Even if the cooks are doing their jobs well, if the order is incorrect and the cashier has a «NO» attitude to things, it does dampen the experience. Just before I left another diner came up to the counter and told Kailey that she had gotten the details of his order incorrect as well; perhaps the delays were being caused by mistakes being made by this cashier… I have not given up on Rubio’s in Ramona. Next time if I have a to go order I will i) call in advance, ii) check the to go order for any mistakes at the counter, iii) hope for a quicker turnaround time and iv) hope for better customer service.

I’ve been to this place once before it’s never busy which is nice because food doesn’t take long from start to finish. I brought in a coupon for $ 1.00 off a burrito which I ordered. The girl at the register said she had to get her manager to approve the coupon.
The manager came over approved the coupon and finished taking the rest of my order. She was really nice as well as the rest of her staff.
We were given a number and took our seats. The food was brought to us by the manager since the original girl was now on break.
The food is always consistent which is what I love about Rubios!
Great food and clean friendly place to eat. I am happy and full

Wow! The remodeled Rubios in Ramona is really nice. The staff went above and beyond to help me. I’m on crutches so I couldn’t carry anything, so they helped me to a table, got my Arnold Palmer for me (carefully asking specifics of ice to iced tea to lemonade), made sure that my table was freshly cleaned so it wouldn’t be sticky, brought me my food and all the condiments I needed! They were kind and smiling each time they interacted with me. And came back to me several times to ask if I needed anything.
I will definitely be returning! WOW!

Rubios in Ramona is remodeling. I thought they looked fine before!
I like Rubios. Kids always get the bean burrito kids combo. It’s just enough for them. Truth be told, I also get the kids meal. Not because I want to, but I’m on a budget and in my opinion this place is pricey for what you get. Kids meal is a solid deal.
However, I’ve given up eating carbs so the kids meal is now out for me. I have switched to the chicken chopped salad for 7.49. Ooh. A little pricey but what can I do? Ends up being over 20 bucks if I add in a small drink. I know, I know, a blooming Big Mac Meal is almost 7.00 so why should I complain? Well, I can’t afford a Big Mac meal and only order off the value menu if we go.
We like Rubios. We would definitely go there more often if it was a scosh less pricey for a meal that’s semi fast food.

We were visiting the area, and, alas, hungry. Here’s the tricky part, we had no expectations at all, as expectations can kill a great meal.
With that in mind, we arrived, ordered and were very happy.
First, the food was fresh and tasted great. We were in a real crunch for time, and they delivered, during a lunch rush, a quick and tasty meal.
We’d be back, but with expectations that they’d repeat the quality and taste of our first visit.

They get 5 stars, even though they are not perfect. I’ve eaten at just about every mexican place in Ramona and this is the place for fresh food, that is not over fried, or greasy. Much better tasting food, and much cleaner place to eat.

The food quality is slightly better than the dozen taco shops we have in town. And I can taste the difference between the beans and the meat unlike the dozen taco shops we have in town…

Love to stop in here when visiting family… But they are always packed. And that means it is always a bit of a wait no matter when you go. The lunch rush is especially heinous. Keep that in mind if you are in a hurry. However, the food is so tasty and fresh. Prices are a bit steep– but this ain’t Taco Bell.

great place for tacos and anything else really. Can be busy on taco tuesdays, they have outdoor seating which is nice. Staff has always been welcoming and friendly.

Sadly the quality of the food here has gone down since I last came here. I came with a friend and was sorely disappointed when I found out they no longer offer portobello tacos. Being vegan, my options are pretty limited here, so I ordered one of the few things left for me to get, the Burrito Especial with no meat, and it wasn’t that great.

A chill and fabulous place for food! The price isn’t ideal, but is sometimes just not a factor because the food is so killer! I love the fish tacos, the beer battered burrito, and the salads. Don’t miss fish taco Tuesday when the tacos are two bucks each.
The service is quick and there is a free salsa bar.

Stopped for a quick lunch. Javier was so nice and helpful, delivered my meal and was always working… delivering, replenishing, and stocking… great job! Had the Salsa Verde Shrimp Tacos — outstanding.

Food and service really good as most Rubios tend to be. Portion sizes are a little smallish here though. This would be fine it it were cheaper!

The food is always good here. It’s clean. The staff is nice and perky.

Good food and good customer service. The girl helping me was awesome! It was clean and I had an area to plug in my laptop and do some work.

Wow, great food!!!
We recently went to our local Rubios. We had a great meal. The customer service is awesome. The food is always served hot, and delicious. Thanks Rubios, Karen
