Their food is delicious! Try something on the menu, or try something on the chalkboard!

The chicken tortilla soup is awesome if you just want something light. I order it without cheese its delish.

If ordering the Ono be prepared to wait or call ahead. It takes about 20 minutes but worth the wait.

The portabella taco is awesome. Not on the menu.

Be forewarned, the things you normally order on the Rubios menu are not made the same here. Different ingredients, chips are not the same, and "sweet" tasting medium salsa.

Test Kitchens have better service and food, its worth the drive if you want better Rubio's food. Why can't all locations be like this?

Tried the portabello tacos. Too much shroom for me.

Holy hell... This establishment is the worst place ever. Go to Lolita's or Vallarta because this place blows. Can I hear the words Rip Off!
