Love at First Bite. After first tasting a fish taco in San Felipe, Mexico, Ralph Rubio returned to San Diego to craft his own recipe and introduce America to the fish taco. That sense of culinary adventure still fuels our passion for coastal cuisine over thirty years later. Flavorful ingredients, sustainable seafood, and chicken and steak sizzle in our kitchens. A warm welcome greets you at the door, and every moment inside becomes a well-earned escape from the everyday. Visit one of our restaurants to enjoy our delicious and fresh coastal fare or to join our high-energy and passionate team. Rubio’s currently owns and operates nearly 200 restaurants.
