“What a fantastic night the Gold River community had at Rubio’s pre-opening event,” said Megan Hansen, Vice Principal at Gold River Discovery Center. “Everyone had a fantastic time, the food was fabulous, and the staff out did themselves. It is clear that Rubio’s is a company that wants to be part of the community. The generosity and support they have already shown Gold River Discovery Center is remarkable. We look forward to many more events, and of course great food, from Rubio’s.”

At 10 a.m. on Thursday, June 3rd, the new restaurant’s doors permanently opened to Rubio’s fans in Gold River who crave the Baja-inspired food in the relaxed yet festive atmosphere of coastal Mexico. The menu features Rubio’s World Famous Fish Tacos(R), Grilled Gourmet Tacos(SM), the Big Burrito EspeciaL(SM) with chargrilled chicken or steak, freshly-made salads and Rubio’s proprietary HealthMex(R) line of tacos and burritos, which are under 700 calories, less than 30 percent of which come from fat.

“Rubio’s fans came out in droves for our Gold River store opening,” said chairman and co-founder Ralph Rubio. “Not only were we happy that people enjoyed the great food Rubio’s offers, but Gold River Discovery Center came away with needed funds that will sustain their excellent school programs and staff. We’re glad we could support such an important part of the Gold River community.”

The Gold River Rubio’s will employ 30 team members from the local community. It is the 10th Rubio’s in the Sacramento Area in addition to Elk Grove, three Sacramento locations, Folsom, Rancho Cordova and three Roseville locations.
