June 8, 2024 (San Diego) – The company that made “fish tacos” a household phrase at its fast-casual restaurants and airport outlets across the nation now finds itself underwater financially. Rubio’s Coastal Grill, headquartered in Carlsbad, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after closing 48 of its California locations, with 13 in San Diego County, including El Cajon’s Parkway Plaza in East County.
Rubio’s Restaurants, parent company of the fast-casual chain, announced it hopes to sell the business founded in 1983, and indicated it will continue operating the remaining 86 locations in California, Arizona and Nevada.

October 29, 2011 (Lemon Grove) -- “Please help us send 8th grade students at Palm Middle School, Lemon Grove, to Washington, DC in March, 2012,” says Helen Ofield, president of the Lemon Grove Historical Society. “The trip--a first for most of the students--will cap two years of history courses in U.S. and world history and give them that in-person experience with the institutions and people who represent our government in action. These 13 and 14-year-olds will greatly benefit from seeing our nation's capital just as they are preparing to move on to high school.”
