GREAT EATS HAWAII: RUBIO'S FRESH MEXICAN GRILL

RUBIO'S FRESH MEXICAN GRILL

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA

I tasted my first Rubio's Fish Taco some twenty years ago while living in San Diego. We used to eat at Rubio's several times a week because the tacos and taco sauce were great and the prices were dirt cheap. Much has changed since those first fish tacos near San Diego State in the 1980's. Rubio's has become a full blown Mexican Restaurant with much more than their Original Fish Taco. A trip to Southern California is not complete for our family if we don't visit Rubio's at least once. We always get the Fish Tacos ($5.69) and occasionally the Carne Asada ($6.89). These prices are for (2) tacos and include beans and tortilla chips. The fish tacos here have been copied by just about every restaurant in California. The beer battered filets are topped with fresh cabbage and white sauce. You can go to the salsa counter and choose from four different salsas. I go for the hottest and add some chopped onion with cilantro along with some jalapeno. Rubio's is hands down one of my favorite fast food restaurants.
