Rubio’s® Restaurants, the popular fast casual chain known for its uniquely delicious coastal cuisine, announced today the addition of Tostadas Frescas to its menu. Developed by Rubio’s culinary team, Tostadas Frescas offers a fresh twist on the traditional Mexican tostada with handmade guacamole, a choice of pan-seared shrimp, grilled marinated chicken or roasted veggies including zucchini, squash, peppers and onions, and a new signature lemon white sauce for a fresh citrus taste. The new craveable tostadas are available for a limited time.
Tostadas Frescas reflect the brand’s commitment to bringing innovative, new ideas to its menu. Tostadas Frescas combine the new lemon white sauce and handmade guacamole using avocados grown in California, with a fresh blend of spring mix and butter leaf lettuce and salsa fresca atop a crisp corn tostada shell. The plates are served with your choice of any two tostadas and a side of black beans and citrus rice.
“We’ve been passionate about bringing inventive and flavorful options to our menu since Rubio’s inception,” said Ralph Rubio, co-founder of Rubio’s. “As part of our culinary progression, we want to continue providing these unique and delicious flavor combinations. We hope Rubio’s guests enjoy our twist on traditional tostadas, and we invite them to come in and try Tostadas Frescas this summer.”
Rubio’s uses sustainable seafood in nearly all of its seafood dishes and continues to expand its menu with innovative recipes ranging from the sustainable Grilled Gourmet Shrimp Taco and Blackened Tilapia Taco to a California Bowl and Chipotle Orange Salad with Pacific Mahi Mahi.
I was able to visit our local Rubio’s in Belmont Shore and try the delicious New Tostada Frescas! I loved them especially the one with the shrimp! The only bad thing..is I ate them too quickly! Now, I will have to go back for more! I like that they seem healthier and taste so fresh! The burritos are a long-time favorite of mine at Rubio’s but there is now competition with these new Tostada Frescas! Don’t miss them! They are only here for a limited time.
Don’t forget to visit June 6-8th to celebrate World Oceans Day!
