This place should be closed because of the poor quality of food. They have a separate GF menu but as others have pointed out the safety aspect is not very clear. I had the cilantro lime bowl with chicken. I had stomach ache most of the night. I would say avoid this place. Not sure about other Rubios but the “fresh mahi mahi” tacos that my wife got were anything but fresh.

Terrible! Stay away! No awareness about what ingredients are in their food and said it's possible that all dishes have not gluten bc of cross contamination. Terrible!!

Every time I come here I like it less. It used to have solid food, solid service, and the california bowls with chicken were gluten free. Today my girlfriend got cross contaminated by it and had a bad stomach ache. The service has dropped off and food quality isnt very good anymore either. The food is about 1/2 as good as the one in Sautee and the workers there usually are all friendly and smiles with eachother and barely acknowledge/monotone when they talk to you.

NOT SAFE! Avoid this place. They have no idea what is gluten. They fry their rice on the same frier with battered fish.

I ate the rice here, which other reviews say is contaminated, and felt fine until 26 hours later (celiac). Unclear if I got sick from this or something else.

Their tacos are made on corn tortillas and are extremely delicious. BUT I don’t think their chips are!!! I got very sick after eating here of lunch one day so be careful!

Other than that the tacos are absolutely delicious and would eat here again.
