Rubio's Coastal Grill has emerged as a standout destination for Mexican cuisine, particularly in Placentia, CA. Renowned for its simple yet extraordinary fish tacos, as celebrated by frequent patrons like Dean Sofer, the restaurant’s offerings exceed expectations. The Coastal Trio is a customer favorite, noted for its consistent quality and delectable flavors. The ambiance is inviting, highlighted by a recently remodeled interior that features a centrally located salsa bar, enhancing the dining experience. Customers, including Keith Butchneski, appreciate the fresh fish and expertly seasoned tacos, while the outdoor seating offers a pleasant atmosphere year-round. Service at Rubio's is another strong point, with staff members like Wendy and Emily receiving accolades for their professionalism and friendliness. Many diners have reported exceptional experiences, feeling welcomed and valued during their visits. However, be prepared for some wait times during peak hours, as noted by Connor Finch, but many agree that the quality of food makes it worth the wait. With a diverse menu that includes options ranging from all-natural chicken to a selection of refreshing beverages, Rubio's Coastal Grill successfully combines quality food with a relaxed, inviting atmosphere, making it a must-visit culinary spot.

Simple yet amazing fish tacos! Trust me they taste way better than they look, and the salsa selection is excellent

Great Rubios. Staff is very nice and professional. Salsa station is kept clean. Parking can be a hassle during peak lunch hours.

I always get the coastal trio, and they consistently make the tacos perfect. Great customer service as well. No complaints aside from how long the wait can be sometimes, Besides that a great experience every time.

so glad this location is back after the fire. the remodel looks great and I love how they moved the salsa bar to mid dining area. always fresh fish and great seasoning makes for delicious tacos and burritos. bonus is outdoor seating on warm spring, summer, fall or winter days.

I'm a fan of Rubio's in general...but different locations definitely provide a different experience. I live between this Rubio's and another one and would hands down prefer to come to this location because they provide great customer service and are efficient. There have been some times in the past when it looked understaffed, but even so the staff is always willing to help (i.e. giving big salsa to-go cuppies from the back if the salsa stand isn't stocked up all the way at the end of the day). Food comes out much faster at this location (even when crowded), and it's tastier too IMO. Thank you to the staff at this Rubio's and keep up the great work!
