If I'm not mistaken, these "lobster" tacos are not meat from the traditional large Maine Lobsters that are familiar. Instead, I understand that this is meat from the small Baja Lobster / Langostinos. I enjoy the meat for what it is, but don't expect hunks of big claw meat or anything like that.
 
As far as the Rubio's lobster tacos and burritos, I think they're o.k. The burrito has so much "stuff" in it besides the meat that the taste is overwhelmed. The tacos are a better choice in my opinion. The meat is the usual slighly-sweet shellfish taste.
 
I find Rubio's okay on the fast-food circuit. I like the standard deep-fried fish taco, but quality varies widely. Sometimes the fish is hot and crunchy and good; other times the tortilla is tough and the fish is fried less skillfully. For fast-food prices, and chain stores, that's to be expected.
