I'm not talking about Chipotle and Taco Bell. Since I'm a semi Vegetarian meaning that I eat no meat but fish and shrimp. Rubio's is the place for me. It has many variety of fish tacos, especially the Mahi Mahi taco is my favorite choice. I was walking around my hotel because I didn't want to pay for the lucrative cab anymore. I was heading to Mission Bay park and came across Rubio's. I had to try it since I didn't eat for lunch. I encountered a lady with tattoo eyebrows that didn't look natural. She was great and got my order very quickly. The food was good. Great portion and great price.

History
Every spring, Ralph and his buddies would head to the Baja village of San Felipe, where you could camp on the beach for free, catch some rays, and forget about studying. One night, a hungry Ralph spotted a taco shop with an unusual specialty advertised in the window: fish tacos. He ordered one, took a few bites, and was hooked.
Over time Ralph became pals with Carlos, the man behind the counter. Carlos showed Ralph how his fish tacos were made. Ralph went back to San Diego and perfected a recipe of his own.
Several years later, with his father Ray as his partner, he opened his first restaurant - a walk-up stand in Mission Beach. Since that day back in 1983, Ralph, with the help of a lot of great people, has sold more than 50 million fish tacos.
Of course, a lot has changed from that original restaurant. Rubio's is now Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill® and has over 180 locations serving a menu which features made-to-order burritos, soft-shell tacos, and quesadillas and salads made with marinated, chargrilled chicken breast and steak, as well as seafood representative of the Baja, California region of Mexico, such as chargrilled mahi mahi, sautéed shrimp and our signature Baja-style fish taco. The Rubio's menu continues to expand and evolve, with inspiration from Ralph's continued culinary exploration of Mexico. In addition to the World Famous Fish TacoSM, Rubio's also offers other signature menu items including:
