Our son had the kid's meal of two crisp taquitos filled with ground chicken and cotija cheese, plus a cup of mild, moist rice. He also loved the warm churro (or, as he called it, the "sugar") that came with his meal.

The food was good, but what really put Rubio's over the top for me was the excellent service. A gracious and attentive lady roamed the dining room during the lunch rush, making sure diners had anything they needed, and the counter staff members were brisk and efficient.

Burritos and tacos $2.50-$7.30, taco plates and "favorites" $4.30-$9.25, salads and bowls $6.50-$6.80, sides 50 cents-$3.50, kids' meals $4.65, desserts $1.40-$1.60.
