Rubio’s was inspired by a spring break trip that founder Ralph Rubio took with friends to San Felipe, where he first tasted fish tacos. Rubio was so taken by this delicious piece of Mexican cuisine that he couldn’t get it out of his mind, and so he was inspired to start his own restaurant, featuring fish tacos and other delicious, Mexican-inspired creations.

Thus, he founded Rubio’s, a “New Mex” or “Fresh Mex” fast-casual restaurant where customers can get delicious and nutritious coastal Mexican foods without spending a lot of money or time. If you’re in the middle of a busy day, and you need to refuel, the Rubio’s menu has a lot of really great options at affordable prices for just about anyone.

If you’re considering options from the Rubio’s menu for the first time, you’ll probably want to try their fish tacos, as these are the flagship menu items for the whole chain. The Original Fish Taco® started it all back in 1983, and you can get this beer-battered, sustainable Alaskan Pollock in a taco with fresh cabbage, fresh mild salsa, and Rubio’s famous white sauce, all for low Rubio’s menu prices.

Of course, the Original isn’t the only fish taco on the menu. There’s also the Fish Taco Especial, which just adds some more delicious ingredients (cilantro/onion mix, blended cheeses, hand-made fresh guacamole) to the Original Fish Taco®. And, if you’re not sure which one you want to choose, you can also get the Coastal Trio, which is a flight of three tacos: one Original, one Salsa Verde Shrimp Taco®, and one Regal Springs® Tilapia Taco, too.

In addition to fish tacos, you can also find great Rubio’s prices for seafood burritos, enchiladas, salad bowls, and dishes that feature chicken, steak, or veggies instead of seafood. For the kids, there’s a delicious and perfectly sized kids’ meal with several entrée and side options. If you’re in the mood for dessert, try the churros for a truly authentic Mexican solution to any sweet tooth. It’s a piece of heaven covered in cinnamon sugar.

With Rubio’s menu prices set low enough to compete with any other fast-casual restaurant, their fresh ingredients, and incredible recipes, customers love heading to this Fresh Mex restaurant for lunch or dinner.
