Join us to learn more about the remarkable Battle
that led to its creation…
Selecting a winner from the multitude of amazing fish taco
recipes we received was a battle for the ages.
It was the perfect way to celebrate our 40th Anniversary!
The Contestants
People from all over entered their recipes along with a mouth-watering photo of their fish tacos. And the taco-loving public narrowed the list down to three finalists.
The Judging
Those three were flown to San Diego to make their tacos live, for our panel of judges – including Ralph Rubio!
The Deliberations
The judges compare notes as they try to select the winning taco.
The Winner
The Winner received a Grand Prize of $1000, and their taco will be featured on the Rubio’s menu starting September 20th!
The Winner:
Coconut Shrimp Taco
with Mango Salsa
It was a tough battle, but Cynthia Phillips’ Coconut Shrimp Taco with Mango Salsa came out on top. Her secret? Cynthia collected all of Rubio’s sauces and salsas and experimented in her own kitchen. It took some time, but she found the perfect combination of flavors. Rubio’s fresh, juicy shrimp, rolled in her secret blend of two types of coconut, mango salsa, Rubio’s white sauce, a touch of jalapeno, and a squeeze of lime. The culinary equivalent of a day at the beach! Come try it and judge for yourself beginning September 20th.
