Rubio's

On Tuesdays Nate and I are both in school from 9am until 5pm. Then we have an hour break to eat dinner together before Nate has another class from 6pm-9pm. Good times. Anyway, trying to bring lunch and dinner to school is a nightmare (my backpack already feels like I am carrying around a baby walrus) and the cafeteria at the U is pretty much closed by 5pm (which I think is ridiculous) so Tuesdays have become our out to dinner reward night for such a long day in class. Luckily 400 South, which is only a few blocks from campus, has a pretty decent selection of places to eat.

Rumbi
became "our spot" (their Aloha salad with tofu is awesome!) and then one day the parking spots in front of Rumbi were all taken so I parked in front of Rubio's which is right next door. We both saw the sign at the same time: "1/2 Price Fish Tacos Every Tuesday!" We thought we would give it a try and have been going every Tuesday for the past three weeks! A lime wedge is included with each taco and the sauce that they put on is finger lickin' good! For those of you who like fish tacos this is an awesome deal - $1.25 for a fish taco (you get the option of corn or flour tortillas - we like corn - and we ask for lettuce instead of cabbage) and 50 cents for chips ---I happily said goodbye to spending $17 at Rumbi! Yes, we live in Utah so of course there is no comparing these fish tacos to Wahoos, and their salsa bar is no El Chubasco, but for $1.25 I'm not complaining too much.

Yummmm -- fish tacos are my favorite. Do you get them grilled or fried? Sounds like a place we'll have to visit when we are up there in a couple of weeks -- that and the tomato soup from the Soup Kitchen!!! It's lunchtime ... I'm hungry!

Love Rubio's! We have been going there for years. Not so much lately but you have given us a reason to go back.
