Disappointing Rice Portion and Price
I usually get good food when I eat there. Because I recently had surgery, I have to be selective in what I eat. I can't believe they charged me $3. 99 for rice. And this was supposed to be a large. Last time I ordered large rice it was much much bigger.

Great Food, Okay Service
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, especially concerning the food quality and pricing. The food is consistently really good and the prices are amazing. It's a great place to go to on the meal plan. However, I did notice that some of the workers seemed a little forgetful and tired, which I understand. The atmosphere was enjoyable.

Puerto Nuevo Burrito was Great!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I had the Puerto Nuevo Burrito and really liked it. The positive vibes were definitely there, and I even did a vlog about it. The food, service, and atmosphere all received a perfect 5/5 rating.

Disappointing Find in My Burrito
I visit this place quite often for lunch during my class break, primarily for their bean and cheese burritos. The food is generally okay for the price. However, today I was pretty disappointed. I ordered my usual bean and cheese burrito, and as I was nearing the end, I bit into something hard. It turned out to be a piece of wire, similar to what you find on wire sponges used for dishwashing. It was gross, and I imagine it wouldn't have been pleasant to swallow either.

Wrong Order, Normal Food
My experience at this Rubio's was that the food, while of normal standard and quality for the establishment, was not what I ordered. Everything tasted good, but it was simply incorrect. Additionally, there was a lack of napkins provided with the takeout order.

Reliably Amazing Food, Efficient Service
My experience at this restaurant was reliably amazing, especially with their picante salsa and classic chicken tacos. While their food is a bit pricey, it's competitive with other campus meal options. The food is greatly flavored, and they offer good fish tacos and large servings of salad. A minor inconsistency noted is the varying size of burritos, which can be noticeably smaller on different days. Despite long lines, the service is efficient, with orders taken and food outputted at a reasonable time. They are also awesome about helping student clubs on campus fundraise.

Quick Service, Consistent Quality on Campus
Despite how busy this place gets on campus, they move pretty quick! What's even better, they maintain the quality of nearly every meal while simultaneously pumping out one after another each minute.

Burrito: Amazing First Time, Horrible Second Time
My first experience at this restaurant was fantastic; the burrito was amazing. However, my second visit was a complete disappointment. The burrito was horrible and nothing like the first one. I am never going back and feel like I lost money.
