Rubio's was started by an SDSU student who stole the recipe from the lady at K14 marker in Mexico.

  And who he tracked down and paid a massive royalty from what I had read. Not because he had to: it was hardly a secret or patented recipe, but I had already heard he did right by her.

    That's good. I think I heard that too. I'm guessing the founder sold it off long ago.

      All he wanted to do after college was just go surfing with his friends but his dad insisted he "find a real job" so he turned his still at making fish tacos into a job. Maybe after selling the franchise he went back to just surfing with his friends? I would like to think so... makes a happy story to think that's what happened.
