Rubio's Coastal Grill

Rubio's Coastal Grill is a fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in Mexican cuisine, with a particular emphasis on fish tacos. Founded in 1983 by Ralph Rubio in San Diego, California, the chain has grown to operate 82 locations across California, Arizona, and Nevada as of January 2025.

The menu at Rubio's features a variety of items inspired by Baja California's coastal flavors. Signature offerings include fish tacos made with Alaskan pollock, which is battered, fried, and served in a corn tortilla.

Other popular items include grilled mahi-mahi tacos, burritos, quesadillas, salads, and bowls, all crafted with fresh ingredients to deliver a vibrant dining experience.

In recent years, Rubio's has faced challenges, including the closure of 48 locations in California in May 2024 due to rising operational costs. Despite these challenges, the company continues to focus on its core offerings and remains a beloved destination for those seeking Baja-inspired cuisine.
