If you're looking for a ton of flavor options, affordable prices, and huge portions, head to Bubbakoo's. We were looking for a fast and easy dinner and grabbed two chicken taco salads. The staff were super friendly and kindly explained the menu options to us, gave us huge scoops of all ingredients, and were patient when we added on a third item at the last minute. The chicken was cooked well but a little bland, but we also didn't get many added sauces which would have made a difference. Right now they have Halloween decorations up inside! read more

I was having a Munchin Mergency and needed to Shake Hands with one of Bubbakoo's Boss Level Burritos immediately!! In case you didn't already know, this place is a super solid spot for all-things Tex Mex plus they don't skimp when it comes to filling up their ENORMOUS tortillas. You can also count on them to prepare some seriously delicious Tacos and Nachos every day of the week.     The Humongous Beef Burrito that I ordered was roughly the size a of a Football and came loaded with delicious Seasoned Beef, Peppers, Onions, Cheese, Rice, Jalapeños, Guacamole, and Salsa. For about ten minutes I was in my foodie happy place and it doesn't get any better than that. Don't Snooze - Order Bubbakoo's!! Come And Get Your Munch On!! read more

I really like this restaurant Jane in general. But this location has definitely been hit or miss for me. The rice will be cold. The toppings are not prepared correctly, they don't put on the correct sauces, etc. I feel like the staff needs to be a bit more mindful of putting everything together cause that's really the whole point of this restaurant. It's very similar to a Qdoba or chipotle. And if you aren't doing that correctly, then people are going to go to the other locations. I've also had issues where I'll order some of the sides like the fries or the chips and again it's very hit or miss for the quantity of food that I'm getting. I definitely think they need to be reminded of how the chain is supposed to operate in general. Cause other locations in the area have the higher level of service that I'm used to. read more

I just had to write a review about their amazing birria tacos!! They were stuffed with delicious flavorful meat and the outside was grilled to perfection with crusty cheese. The consome that came with it was a bit thicker than others I've had before but it was delicious and tied it all in together. I saw online they're a limited time offering but I hope they never take it off the menu because these tacos alone are I'll keep me going back! Service was also quick and staff was friendly! read more

Bubbakoo's Burritos - BIRRIA TACOS - Mexican Near Me - Budd Lake, New Jersey

I ordered online and picked up the order was ready on time. The chips and Pico were great. The shrimp & steak burrito was tightly wrapped, flavorful. The only issue which wouldn't have happened if I ordered in store was the excessive rice. I did not eat in store but looked pleasant. I will return, if I order online I will note less rice. read more

Found a huge plastic chunk that must have belonged to a bag storing food contents inside of my cold burrito. Never ordering there again. If management reads this, get your staff straight and put care into your food. Ffs. read more

Not bad at all for a local fast casual TexMex style food. All were polite--got three meals which was enough food for 4-5 people for @ $38.

When I first walked in, the place smelled amazing and I knew the food would be pretty good. There were a variety of options on the menu including tacos, quesadillas, burritos, bowls, and something I have never heard of, chiwawas and a taco salad. I like how these two menu options I have never heard of makes it a unique Mexican fast food place that differs significantly from others. I was very tempted to get the bbq chicken quesadilla, which was a specialty on the menu, but I ended up ordering the burrito bowl. In the bowl, I ordered carnitas, sour cream, lettuce, pico, corn, pinto beans and shredded cheese. The carnitas were soft, flavorful, and are easy to pull apart when eating. However, the watery residue from the carnitas made my bowl a little soupy which I didn't enjoy. The sour cream on the other hand didn't add much flavor in my bowl, so I would recommend asking for extra. Everything else tasted fresh and delicious. I would totally come back here to try other menu items, especially the quesadilla. I would also love to try the specialty sauces they have on hand. read more

Today we went to @bubbakoos_mountolive during their Nation Wide Fundraiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. A portion of today's sales will go to this cause. So get to your nearest #BubbaKoos to eat for a cause. #BubbaKoosMtOlive created a 3 foot long #burrito for us. It was a #SweetChiliShrimp #ShreddedPork #BuffaloChicken #HibachiSteak combo masterpiece with rice, black beans, guacamole, lettuce, sour cream...It was a legendary burrito to say the least. I think one of @bubbakoosburritos skater/surfer regulars could of rode this one down the sidewalk or on the next wave.

Looked great and was busy. Maybe I just had a bad experience. The first person in the assembly line could not stop adjusting their glasses while wearing gloves and serving food. And the second person had their long hair down. Ended up with a massive piece of hair in my burrito and somehow there was a spider in my bag of chips. The guacamole comes from a weird bag and didn't brown overnight. Nothing tasted fresh and I question the hygiene of the areas we can't see from the counter. read more

Pretty gross on more than one occasion and overpriced. Friend agreed. How can you not get Mexican food right??

Love this place. The food is really good. Love the burrito bowl with steak, peppers, onions, & mango salsa on rice. Wow! Get it every time. My daughter loves the nachos with queso and a boca burger. Been here a few times and they don't disappoint!! read more

If Chipotle and Buffalo Wild Wings had a baby, Bubbakoo's would be it. We came here for lunch on a Sunday and the line was nearly out the door the entire 3 hours we were there, which is a testament to both the popularity of the restaurant and the inefficiency of the staff. (Although, to be fair, the restaurant's grand opening had been 2 days prior, so the staff was probably still adjusting). The menu is similar to Chipotle's and gives you a choice of burrito, tacos, bowl, quesadillas, etc, but with many more options. The number of meats you can choose from is staggering, including sweet chili shrimp and General Tso's Chicken. They also have multiple add-on sauces of varying degrees of spiciness, which is very reminiscent of BWW's menu. Beware: guac, queso, and mango salsa all cost extra! I got a chicken quesadilla which was delicious. The tortilla was so crisp it tasted like it was fried and not grilled. My only complaint was that they didn't ask me what other fillings I wanted, so it was just a chicken and cheese quesadilla with pico and sour cream on the side. I was able to add more flavor with their variety of sauce bottles, including chipotle and mango habenero sauces. My friends got bowls and they said that the rice and beans were too soggy, and that they preferred Chipotle's bowls. The portion sizes were also a lot smaller than Chipotle's but around the same price. Overall, kudos to this Bubbakoo's location for being so popping on their third day of being open, but there is still a lot of room for improvement! read more

Bubbakoo's Burritos - Quesadilla with sauce bottles - Mexican Near Me - Budd Lake, New Jersey

The food is mediocre for Tex mex, but the portions are large. The biggest issue is they NEVER get your order right. Don't even add stuff they won't put it on, or they'll forget it. Don't order the queso as aside, you'll pay for it, but never get it. This has happened multiple times. I normally get from Moe's, it has smaller portions, but you get what you order. I don't know if the people at Bubbakoo's don't care, or are just grossly incompetent. Either way the food will taste ok, but don't expect them to be able to read, and then fulfill what you actually want. That is just wishful thinking. read more

Ok here's the deal. 3.5 minimum. This review solely based off grub hub delivery on a Saturday kinda late lunch early dinner "Lun-inner". Ordering online very easy. I kinda live far away from this place so wasn't sure how food would turn out vis delivery... I ordered a couple soft shell "3 taco meals". 1 Ground beef ( charged extra for more beef in tacos & it's worth it). Can always use fall out meat and scoop with taco chips 1.shredded pork "Carnitas". 1 Quesadillas with shredded chicken 1 side boneless chicken wings All meals homemade easy to add lettuce / salsa / guacamole / pico etc.... The do charge extra for usual items Homemade salsa very yummy and while delivery served on side it's delicious! Other items while excellent portions needed some flavor... the beef . Chicken. Carnitas all good & fresh just needed some help during cooking process . Even w/ lengthy delivery food was surprisingly warm. Shout out DoorDash!! Boneless wings offer variety of sauces when order I went traditional buffalo sauce. Sauce was good not overly smothered. Wings themselves were dry ( over cooked ). The base of hard shell chips were a great compliment to allow scooping to taco etc meals etc...but they were stale. I'm chalking this up to getting caught in late day " delivery hell". Will definitely try this place again just want to see how it goes eating in house vs delivery read more

Before covid I'd get food from here once a week. We haven't been eating out as much but m we decided to order pickup from here. Instead of using those third party apps I downloaded the bubbakoos app. Placed the pick uorder which was scheduled to be picked up about an hr after placing. I said ok they are busy so it is what it is. I get there at the "supposed" pick up time and was told I needed to wait another 30min. Like are you friggin kidding me. I wanted to cancel but was told to call back the following day to get my refund. I ended up waiting another 30min to get my food. Needless to say I will never be going back there again. I get it's a pandemic and all but set accurate times for crying out loud. People don't want to be hanging out waiting to pickup food. Can't wait until chipotle opens up in the ledgewood mall Update: ok so I was alittle upset and probably shouldn't have been so harsh about the service. Let's chock it up to having a bad day. But Bubbakoos said they fixed their system and they sure did. Ordered through the app and the food was ready exactly on time for pickup. The food is always on point and I appreciate them working hard to give customers a great experience. Thank you! read more

Decided to finally stop by this place. My husband got the rice bowl. He wasn't super impressed. It was pretty small for the price and 80% rice. I had the quesadilla which I actually really liked- very filling good flavors. I liked the queso a lot. The price was on the higher side. I probably wouldn't return based on that and also the cleanliness. The girl working had her hair in her face and kept pushing it back while prepping our food. Also another girl touched a rag that was by the toppings which looked dirty? The staff needs to be informed of things like this while working with food. read more

I always swing by Bubbakoos for a burrito bowl on my way out to the lake, it's such great boat food! The portion sizes are really big and the food is always fresh, can't ask for much more! read more

Just didn't love this burrito spot. Workers are super friendly which is why I have the 3 stars. But the service is pretty slow compared to comparable burrito places, the food wasn't as flavorful either. Usually just get the curly fries for my kids but had the chicken salad and really tasted like nothing. I know, weird. But it's worth a try to anyone thinking of trying it. Just like chipotle more. read more

This has to be the worst Bubbakoo's, I won't order from here again! It was 8pm on Saturday night and myself and my son decided to order food and they are pretty close to my house, ordered through the app and paid, said food would be ready in about 20 min. I got there about 8:30, the order was ready, staff looked like they were cleaning up for the night and I grabbed my order and headed home. I opened my order and something smelled off, a burnt smell, so I opened the taco and the meat was burnt and looked like they scraped it off off the bottom of the tray. Completely inedible! My son went to eat his food and had the same issue, the meat was dry and burnt. I called Bubbakoo's and they were closing in about 8 minutes, spoke to a man named Cesar who said they would remake the order and deliver it to me. He then told me to hold on, 6 minutes went by and he never came back to the phone. I hung up and called back, hoping it was an oversight but no answer. I again tried calling back, again no answer so I left a message figuring they'd call me back and we'd get our dinner. No call ever came, nor did any food! At around 10:15 pm I left a message explaining the situation and asking for a return call the following day... no call back! I called at 3:54pm on Sunday and I was told I could come in then and get my food remade?!?! I will never return and asked for a refund. I was told I would get it returned to me in 3-5 business days... smh! Poor customer service and even worse food... if I could give zero stars I would! read more

Huge fan of this place, everyone is so friendly and the staff is just great. The manager Steve is so polite and really wants to make sure his customers have a great experience. The chips and queso of bubbakoos is easily better than chipotle,moes and qdoba. Will always give this place 5 stars read more

Stopped in for lunch. Same setup as so many other Mexican fast food joints. A bit slow getting served, I was 2nd in line! But food was fresh and tasty. 3 stars for now. Returned with wife for an early dinner. She ordered boca burger tacos. Took 20 minutes. So much for fast food. Kids behind counter not trained well. But food was excellent. read more

Service was above and beyond You can tell everyone works as a team! Went twice in one week and my hubby and I tried a few different options from the menu. Everything was excellent. This is an awesome location and blows Chipotle completely out of the water. GO GO GO read more

Here for dinner on what I think is the opening weekend and the line is almost out the door. Usually in a new place this would be a disaster but it looks like the staff was well trained and the line went really quick. Impressive. And folks were polite despite the rush. The food is really good. Similar to Chipotle or Q'doba but with a simple to understand menu. I had a steak burrito. My daughter had a soft taco. Definitely will be back. This is also a good location. read more

First time here and if I could give six stars I would. The place is nice inside only wish there was more seating. Staff is super nice and helpful. The food is fantastic and you get a lot for the price. Way better than other places like this. I had a bowl with ghost pepper chicken. Was really good. I also had the ghost pepper sauce while yummy could be a lot hotter. The bowl was topped off with guacamole which was nice. I also had a rice ball. Omg I could eat 20 of those things. I got a discount for being a vet which was nice. The owner is really nice and attentive to everyone. I will def be a repeat customer! read more

Lots of good options and the food tastes good. But - they get every single order wrong. We've been here a couple of times, and every order was missing items or had stuff in it that was not ordered/wanted. It's like they just toss whatever random ingredients into each item. At least they have all been random vegetarian ingredients. But most of the people in our group ended up eating only a few bites of their food because they contained stuff they just don't like. (As I type, I'm eating a burrito that was supposed to have grilled veggies, but has veggie patty instead. It is also missing sour cream and cheese; last week, it was nachos that was supposed to have guac, but had grilled veggies, and also contained two kinds of beans. Not really sure both beans were vegetarian actually.) read more

Stopped in for a quick bite ... the food is good, fresh and prepared with care ... if I could change anything I would have servers , only because the set up is awkward .. it's like a fast food joint with better food but to stand for 10 min not being able to see the menu till you're up to the counter is a little awkward... I would go back because I think the food is good ... I'd order online before picking it up just to have time to study the menu first ... did I mention good food ? read more

My friends and I order from here a few times a month and I'd say for the most part, they get the order right. They've messed up a few times but nothing all that bad. Until last night that is. We ordered 3 Burritos and not one of them were correct and the portions were smaller than usual. They left out all the sauces on all of the burritos. We were in the mood for some spicy food, not bland burritos. My friends ordered sour cream one theirs too, one of them had a tiny amount on one end of the burrito, the other none. For 12-15 dollars per burrito, it's pretty annoying for them to mess up the order this badly. Also, not one of the burritos was marked again. I've talked to them before about this multiple times in the past and was told this would be something they would remember to do for now on. It's not that hard but for some reason, they can't grasp this concept. We're still going to come back but we'll only order in person for now on. read more

If you're craving decent Mexican fast food then check out Bubbakoo's Burritos. I ordered a chicken bowl and added all of my favorite toppings, standard pico de gallo, corn salsa, lettuce and jalapeños. If I had noticed the grilled veggies I would have added that as well. There was a slight mix up with my order when the cashier placed my order in someone else's to-go bag and the person picking up almost walked out the door with my chicken bowl. But the minor crisis was averted when my eyes darted towards the cashier, then to the bag, then back to the girl who prepared my order and back to the bag while I fumbled for the words, "did you just put my order in his bag?" The quick acting line prep girl caught the mistake and sorted out the orders and everyone lived happily ever after. At least this story has a happy ending. Also, the food was pretty delicious, I added medium salsa and a few splashes of Bubbakoo's Habanero sauce which truthfully tasted faintly like good ole Tabasco. I recommend checking out Bubbakoo's Burritos. Update: changing my review to 2 stars because of the poor service. I brought my boyfriend to try Bubbakoo's and it was such a horrible experience. We left after waiting in line for 20 minutes without even having our order taken. I understand it can be hectic at lunch on a weekend but the line management was frustrating. After waiting about 5 minutes to get to the front of the line, the girl prepping the food asked if we could wait because she had a large order to fill. The line cook/additional prep guy watched the girl throw food shrimp on the grill and stood around while she started the orders. I was baffled by the lack of attention to the growing line. I waited patiently until she was done with that large phone order and then she proceeded to start on a different phone order. At this point the line was about 6 people deep and she still hadn't taken our order. The cashier actually left, did a thorough job wiping down the restaurant, came back and stood around watching the 2 people prep. There was a person in the back bringing out station fillings but he never helped move the line. We left completely frustrated. I doubt we'll be back. I really thought we could be repeat customers, unfortunately the potential frustration is just not worth it. read more

We have been eating here since we moved to town. This place cares, we made comment once about how they made burritos and they made a positive change. Food has been fresher and it's very fast. Highly recommend for a quick bite. Way more options than chipotle. read more

This was my first time and last time at this restaurant today. My boyfriend and I ordered, him a burrito and me a chicken and cheese quesadilla. He got his burrito but when I got home to open my box they gave me the wrong order. Yes, it is my fault that I didn't check the box but isn't it their job in the first place to get the food to the right people? This was my first time going here, my first ever impression, and they screwed it up. Never visiting again. read more

We have been going to this location since it opened. We always order online for pickup because of the convenience. We always did their surveys and always gave them compliments. Food is delicious, portions are better compared to their competitors. Customer service was great and always on time. BUT....they changed their staffing. I had at least 3 different bad experiences with them now. The latest one: ordered online, got to the store, one staff told me she was currently making it, I gave them some time, 10 mins later I come back and the same person told me they had completely skipped my order. Hopefully management does something to get their service as good as it used to be. read more

We ordered from here on a.Thursday before 5pm and they were already out of at least 3 main menu items. We ordered one steak and one chicken burrito bowl among 5 things over $70+. There was literally 2 pieces of meat in each "bowl" . The rest was lettuce, toppings and rice. Very disappointing. This was our first time ordering from here. Will not be back. read more

Placed an order with this restaurant at 6:00 PM yesterday with a delivery time of 7:30. The delivery never happened and I couldn't get anyone on the phone. Finally, at 9:00 PM I was able to call the store where I placed the order and spoke with a manager named Jerry. Well this guy informs me that they are overwhelmed and asked me if I still wanted the order. They charged me $25.00+ dollars for my order so I asked that the order be cancelled and refund the money they charged me. They said they would. Still waiting for the refund. This is a bad business and should be avoided. They promise you but can't follow through. The manager Jerry should look for a new job, maybe bullshit artist. read more

The place was filthy. They took a knife out of disgusting water to cut my chicken. Then i couldnt even eat my quesadilla because it was drenched in grease to the point where it was dripping all over the table as you can tell in the photo.

Bubbakoo's Burritos - Quesadilla with chicken and cheese - Mexican Near Me - Budd Lake, New Jersey

I sent an email to the email address the owner provided and nobody responded. Terrible customer service.

Don't know why I keep trying. This place is so hit or miss. It can be soo good and then soo disappointing, making me wonder why I just spent 30.00 for two items. My Burritodilla, supposed to have Hibbachi Steak in it, not sure what it was, could not make out from the lone half teaspoonful. Beans? Corn? Plenty of that. Cheese? Nope, none. Nothing holding it together, had to add my own when I got it home. Half the items I selected for my meal were not there. I have read the other negative reviews and the manager response,, that it is hard to get help. This place was not busy tonight, no excuses. If the employees don't care how they put the order together, than that is a true reflection of the management. I'll be thinking long and hard before placing another order here. read more
