We drove 12.5 hrs, across 3 states, and made a direct bee-line for Rubio's. Turned our kids onto the fish tacos, although the fish burrito is still my all-time fave. Although our trip took us away from S. Ca, we were still able to hit Rubio's another 2 times in 3 days. C'mon Rubio's! Come to Texas!!

Can't beat the price for fish tacos. And, they are quite tasty.

This place had really good mexican food as well as tradition appetizers. The menu was a nice assortment of food and they had great value meals, like a 3 course dinner for $12. Worth the money

My Family and I are semi-regulars to Rubio's which basically means we visit at least once a month. The Rubio's Restaurant on El Camino Real in Carlsbad is our usual haunt but their all good and they have all been recently remodeled for a very spiffy modern look. Food is excellent, especially the house specialty Fish Taco and the price... More

Fresh Baja-Mex, fast, yummy and delicious! Ono taco's and burrito's are my usual pick, but they always have a new special that's worth trying.

Rubios, if I've got this right was one of the restaurants in Carlesbad Outlet mall. We were exhaused and hungry and a cheap fish taco and beer was just the thing we were looking for for a refreshment.

We ate here while visiting from AK and knew what to expect. Grilled fish tacos were excellent as was my husband's steak burrito. Salsa/condiment bar was great too. They served beer which was a nice surprise. Would return when we are back in SD.

When I travel to SoCal Rubio's is one of the places I sometimes stop at for a quick fish taco. As many chains the food is just OK (lots of better tacos out there), but like the Fish Especial taco I had at the Solana Beach branch you know what to expect: it tastes fresh and it's quick and cheap.
