All of the Rubio's closed in my area. This is the closest Rubio's to me. I'm afraid of this chain going out of business. I'm giving this place 5 stars because this restaurant has my favorite shrimp burrito.

Rubio's is one of my go-to's for a healthier fast food meal. I typically get the cilantro quinoa bowl with grilled chicken. Sometimes I'll add guacamole & tortilla chips. Another solid option l get is the grilled chicken gourmet tacos with no sauce. Those are tasty. I highly recommend.

Rubio's Coastal Grill off Crenshaw Boulevard in Torrance is in Rolling Hills Plaza. Nearly a decade ago all Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill restaurants became Rubio's Coastal Grill restaurants to focus on their seafood offerings. A lot of their locations were closing, especially near June/July of 2024. In August 2024 they were sold to good folk who wanted to keep their signature taste, and that's what we found today. When I was living in Rancho Palos Verdes from 2005 to 2014 I tended to eat Subway at least once a week and save Rubio's for every three weeks, the mayonnaise based sauces (if I can guess at their secret ingredients and recipes) giving my taste buds a decadent taste, with especially their delicious fish or shrimp burritos, and it's a feasting too that keeps the body strong, as at the time I was obsessed with martial arts, training in Capoeira, Makulele, Tai Chi Chuan, Kung Fu, and Dahn Mu Do. I wanted to make sure I got the good stuff including protein and that I myself didn't look like a giant loaded burrito. Rubio's Coastal Grill has super fresh ingredients and is to me very healthy for the body too. I had a lobster burrito just now * and * a lobster bowl. I was that hungry, I missed these Rubio's flavours so much, and my New Yorker tough as nails stepmom is just that sweet. She exclaimed something about how that it was a very good deal to get the lobster bowl under $25, and also to get the lobster burrito under $25 too. That lady got two fish tacos (The Original Fish Taco trademark) and had the good idea to get chips and guacamole. My langostino lobster stuffs was an OMAD one-meal-a-day type of happy nom noms because it was my lunch and dinner combined. The lobster bowl came with a mild mayo sauce and a butter sauce which, I combined the ingredients which came also with guacamole and a lemon. My burrito had a different tasting sauce from the bowl, subtle but appreciated. Her man decided on The Coastal Trio, which I think was two different kinds of fish tacos, mahi mahi and salmon? His third taco was shrimp. We all really enjoyed it. Rubio's Coastal Grill seems to have a menu with five times more multiplied items to choose from than the Rubio's Mexican Grill of our yesteryears. There is definitely an upscale vibe for "Mexican"/Californio fast food. (Our parking lot time right in front of the restaurant was limited to forty minutes.) The blond wood looks swanky. Along with the giant fish art piece. It was fun to revisit, but to have it different also so thus to refresh and reload. The employees were very nice to us. To Go pickups were happening but our food was served at our table in ten minutes. Thank you Rubio's! :hugs Rubio's: Glad to have you! Yum yum yums.

Busy! Lots of parties already eating @ tables inside & people standing around waiting for TakeAway orders. Fortunately, no lines for ordering. Ordering was quick. We really like the salsa bar. The fire Roasted salsa is very good, we also like the verde sauce, & chopped onion & cilantro. We particularly like Rubio's for their seafood choices; grilled fish, blackened fish, fried fish, & shrimp! They make delicious seafood tacos & burritos! Taco Tuesday specials!!! Taco discounts every Tuesday.

Rubio's has always been one of our favorites. Don't think we've every been disappointed with our meals. This location is great, clean and the customer service is always fast as well. Even when there is a big line they get thru the orders pretty fast. We love their bowls they have always with the shrimp and you can pretty much add any protein you'd like. They are fresh, flavorful and well served. I tend to be a Chip/salsa connoisseur if that's a thing ha ha. I can tell when a lot of love goes into a salsa and seeing if they are fresh. Their salsa's are amazing and they have different ones if you like spicy or mild they have something for everyone. There is always parking despite there being other restaurants so that's never a problem. Their bathrooms are clean and they keep them that way. Overall this place is great for a sit down lunch. Love that there is an outside patio as well so you can come with friends. Overall great spot!

Alert: no longer a free shrimp taco for checking in on Yelp The prices have really gone up. It's now about $20 per person for a fast food place. Wow Ok, Cali sticker shock aside: the fish tacos are famous for a reason. They're really good. The street tacos are super small, not a good value for $5 each. You probably want to skip these Aside from that, it's a order at the counter and get the food delivered to your table place. This stops folks from congregating around or having pesky announcements Inside , it's a typical fast food place

Haven't been here in years. I have always like the food and the staff. I decided to check on Yelp what was on the menu. Went to the website and they had a special for $5 to join the text club. Sweet. I fell for it. Made an online order, put in the code and the discount never went through. Felt played since I ordered more food than I would have wanted. The place was crowded and the manager that I used to see all the time was still working. The food was good. Had the Especial Tacos and ordered the guacamole and chips. They used to come in a bowl with the guacamole in the middle, surrounded by chips. Not any more. Now, it's a little sandwich side bag of chips and guacamole in a small plastic container. Sigh. Don't fall for the $5 off trick. I feel taken!! Ok, bye.
