If you love fresh, Baja-inspired Mexican food, then you’ve probably hit up Rubio’s Coastal Grill at some point. I mean, who can resist those fish tacos? But here’s something you might not know—Rubio’s will actually hook you up with a free fountain drink or dessert just for sharing your thoughts about your visit.
Yep, it’s that easy. I recently took the TellRubios.com survey, and in just a few minutes, I had a validation code for a freebie on my next visit. If you want to take advantage of this, I’ll walk you through exactly how it works.
What is the TellRubios.com Survey?
Think of the Rubio’s Guest Survey as a super quick feedback form where Rubio’s asks about your recent visit. They want to know what they’re doing right and what could be better—and they’ll reward you for your time.
All you need is a receipt from a recent purchase, and in 2-3 minutes, you’ll get a validation code that lets you grab a free fountain drink or dessert next time you stop by.

What You Get for Taking the Survey
Once you finish the survey, you’ll receive a validation code that you can redeem for:
✅ A FREE fountain drink OR
✅ A FREE dessert
The only catch? You have to write the code on your original receipt and bring it with you when you visit Rubio’s.
My Experience Taking the Rubio’s Guest Survey
I wanted to see just how easy this process really was, so I took the TellRubios.com survey myself. It took less than three minutes—literally just answering a few questions about my meal, the service, and the cleanliness of the restaurant.
At the end, I got my validation code, which I wrote down on my receipt. Now, next time I stop by, I can redeem it for a free drink or dessert (still debating between a cold Coke or a churro… tough choice!).
To make it even easier for you, I’ll be adding screenshots of the survey process so you know what to expect before you start!

Pro Tips for Completing the Rubio’s Survey
Check your receipt expiration date – You usually have just a few days to take the survey, so don’t wait too long!
One code per visit – You can only use one reward per receipt, so don’t expect to stack up multiple freebies in one go.
Use a valid email if required – Some surveys ask for an email for follow-ups. If so, use an email you check regularly.
Be honest – Rubio’s actually reads this feedback, so don’t just rush through it—share your real experience.
