Rubio's Introduces New Carnitas

Rubio's introduces new carnitas to the menu to kick off summer 2023. The new protein option features pork marinated with oranges, garlic, and onion. The pork is slow-cooked and then grilled before serving so there's some crispiness to it.

Rubio's carnitas can be found in a trio of new dishes, the Carnitas Macha Two Taco Plate, Carnitas Macha Bowl, and Carnitas Macha Burrito. In addition to featuring the chain's carnitas, the dishes also feature new Salsa Macha, which features a blend of ancho and guajillo chiles, roasted pepitas, chipotle peppers, and a squeeze of lime.

Carnitas can also be chosen as a substitute for chicken or steak on many of the chain's menu items.

Also, as a summer special that runs through September 3, 2023 (Labor Day weekend), where you can get $3 alcohol and free chips with any drink purchase when dining in from Thursday to Sunday, after 3PM. They're calling the promotion, "Baja Weekends."
