Bubbakoo's Burritos - BURRITO - BUILD YOUR OWN - Tex-Mex Near Me - West Long Branch, New Jersey

First time eating at one. Went better than I anticipated. This location had friendly service and quick. The burrito was stuffed big time ! I picked the wrong sauce (mango habanero), I mean it was okay but it was not a good choice. Pretty reasonable price wise for these days. Curbside outdoor seating available here. Will try it again read more

Ordered the chicken burrito bowl with sriracha ranch sauce. The food was ok, but unfortunately there was a long red hair in my food which definitely ruined my appetite. Then, when I went to let them know and get a refund, the manager who came out looked for my receipt and started telling me he couldn't refund me because it's not there. He continues looking and telling me he can't do anything because he "knows" my charge didn't go through. The cashier who rang me up was super sweet and helpful. She confirmed that I had paid and it went through (I had even signed the receipt only 15 min prior). After about 5 minutes of telling me he couldn't find my receipt, I went to my baking app and showed him the charge and suddenly my receipt was in his hand. Extremely disappointed with the cleanliness and service. Will not be going back to this location. read more

My delivery did not show up. I drove to their location and my order was sitting there. They said no one showed up. I did try calling and left a message. When I asked about that, they said they don't have a phone. Two very unpleasant and unconcerned young men were not helpful. I probably won't order from there again. Very disappointed. read more

I had placed a delivery order on the app over three hours ago and had never gotten my order. I had multiple uber eats drivers contact me and say that they could not pick up my order and that it was already picked up by someone. I love the food and the vibe there and I get things go wrong, but the fact that when myself and two other people tried calling not only this West Long Branch store, but the corporate number, over 40 times and had no one pick up the phone or even try to call us back. All I wanted was a refund and it's very frustrating that I have to go through all these steps to try and get it. read more

Love this place! Great value and great selection of vegan options and toppings. Love the sauces! It's kind of a Chipotle ripoff, just with better sauces and some nice sides! I want to try the Buffalo cauliflower next time around. My only qualms were that (a) my burrito was too big to roll and (b) the guy at the register weirded me out a bit, he kept calling me "man" and "dude" lol read more

We avoid this location due to overall not great experiences historically, but we accidentally called them tonight for a question about an order (not realizing it was them). The man who answered just kept yelling at us to order on the app and when we attempted to say that this was not our question and we were inquiring about how to order and item that was not showing on the app he start screaming into the phone and calling us a f'ing bitches over and over and not to call them. Avoid. read more

I must say this is thee best kept secret in my book anyway I had no idea until a coworker actually told me about there habanero sweet chili sauce omg I could put this stuff on everything!!! This place with all of its varieties is a must try for burritos and bowls and a few more items I forgot but you just have to try it you won't be disappointed I think it's awesome read more

This location was difficult to find and ithis seems to be a local brand of burritos. New experience was rice balls about three inches in diameter part of dish called Chiwawa ? Squashed on which beans veggies onion cheese and other garnished of your choice topped on it for veggie sandwich. Little dry but hot sauce/salsa was amazing. Chips and salsa extra- drinks extra similar to Chipotle but much better tasting, see my photo read more

Bubbakoo's Burritos - Chiwawa a rice ball topped with veggies - Tex-Mex Near Me - West Long Branch, New Jersey

2 quesadillas, 6 tacos. The meat seemed over cooked and dry. The quesadillas, made on griddle, tasted like they were drenched in butter. I typically wouldn't mind butter but this was so much so that it took away from the taste of the quesadilla. Expensive for what I got and the wait time to get the food. read more

The staff is very pleasant and helpful with options - A LOT of toppings options. When in doubt, always order The Chiwawa and layer it up! Toppings pricing adds up quick for only one order. read more

I was turned onto this place by my husband. I prefer local places as opposed to national chains. I was a fan of Chipotle. Keyword WAS. I am a bigger fan of this place. I like the freshly cooked meat. Plus there is more variety. You can get steak & shrimp or chicken & steak or chicken & shrimp & you can get A1 or sriracha. I tried the 'Chiwawa'. It was too heavy for me, plus it was dry. I prefer the bowl or a burrito. I do think the rice could use a little more flavor to it. Plus it's a bonus to get a free burrito when you have the frequent flyer card. The one thing I would truly like to see is instead of Styrofoam takeout container, I would like to see plastic that's easier to recycle or reuse. The staff is friendly & makes sure your order is correct. read more

Update: The story gets even weirder. We contacted Grubhub to cancel the order and get our money back and they also could not get in touch with the store. But then an hour later someone from Bubbakoos showed up with 1/2 of our order. We were missing a Quesadilla and an order of chips with Guac, but the two bowls made it here. The driver was super nice and I tipped him because obviously this mess wasn't his fault. Leaving the review at 1 star because even though the order made it here, it was 1. Cold and 2. Incomplete. Plus I had already gone out to get us dinner elsewhere so now I'm sitting here with a tremendous amount of food. Food 3.5/5 It's fairly average--quality is on par with any Chipotle or other Tex-Mex style chain at this price point. The 1 star review is for the two times now, that I have been able to place a Grubhub order when the store is closed. The first time I waited for an hour and a half, before calling, repeatedly, and being sent to a generic voicemail for the number they have listed. The second time, I remembered what had happened the last time and called immediately after the order (I should have called first) and again, same generic voicemail. I called another store and was told that they are all independently owned so they're all allowed to set their own hours. Every where you can check online (including Yelp) shows them as being open from 11-9pm today. Yelp even has the 'Start Order' button showing on the page. Between the two orders I didn't get it's close to $100 that I had to work with Grubhub to get back. I guess Bubbakoos in West Long Branch is doing well enough that they don't need to be open on Sundays, and they're definitely doing well enough that they no longer need my business. Go to Neptune or Shrewsbury--they answered the phone immediately when I called during their listed business hours. read more

Rude oriental server. Definitely not buying from this store again! Most deliveries are done by uber or doordash. saw him humiliate a driver for not having a code. All he could have asked was for the driver to go back to car and get it. He told the guy very loud and clear " no code no food" Felt sorry for the driver. hate to see people do that. by the way driver waited for about 20 min , the entire time i was there.. rude ass. read more

Ordered here today for a large business. Order was almost 300 dollars. The lunch was for 1145 and the office called me at 1200 wondering where it was. . When food wasn't delivered on time, I called the restaurant and spoke with Owen, the manager. He told me it left 15 minutes earlier and to be patient. Honestly, the restaurant is only 5 minutes from the office and the staff has scheduled lunch shifts that begin at 1145. I asked him if he knew what was wrong because the office was very upset. His temper flared almost immediately and he told me it left so it is my problem. He said I have no right to question him and how dare I speak to him like this. When I got to the office, the delivery driver had left it in the foyer outside of three offices. No one was alerted that it was delivered. Anyone could have literally walked away with the food because no one was notified and it was in a common area at the entrance to an office building. Honestly, in this environment, a restaurant like Bubbakoos should question the ability or lack of a manager who escalates a simple situation when it was not necessary. I have done business with many other Bubbakoos locations and never received such unprofessional treatment read more

I should have learned my lesson when I ate at the Bubbakoo's in Brick. Alas, I'm too much of a sucker for giving places a second chance, and I decided during a workday to hit here for lunch, instead of Chipotle (it was closer, I was feeling lazy). In two words? Overpriced garbage. Just as with the other locations, Bubbakoo's loves to express the fine art of up-charging for everything. Want mango salsa? That's extra. Want guacamole? Lots extra. Want some veggies on it? Extra! If you want to pay the "sticker price" for their burritos or tacos, you're basically limited to rice, beans, and maybe some tomatoes. I had to specifically ask what they didn't charge extra for, so I didn't end up with a $15 lunch. This would be forgivable if the quality was anything special, but it isn't. The meats are decent, but generally lacking in flavor, especially when covered up by the fairly bland rice and/or beans. Speaking of which, the portions meat are TINY, leaving your burrito to become a mostly bean, rice, and cheese roll-up. Must be a decent profit margin, considering they charge a whopping $7.50+ for these things. Hey, at least the service was friendly, but then again so are sleazy used car salesmen before they rip you off. When all's said and done, I ended up with a fairly anemic burrito without much in the flavor department, which cost me close to $10 after tax, and that's a fairly basic burrito - without a drink. My usual burrito bowl at Chipotle only runs me $7, is utterly loaded to the brim, comes with veggies and sour cream for free, and even free guacamole if you get the vegetarian bowl. I won't be returning here, or to any further Bubbakoo's locations. What a ripoff. read more

Loved it , I would consider moving to long branch just to be near this place. Very good fast food!

This food at Bubbakoo's is similar to the faire found at Chipotle and Qdoba but a little cheaper and not so crowded. Also the people at this location were very helpful and not like machines found at the big chains. The food was fresh and delicious even thought not really true mexican like you can find at many places in the long branch area. read more

Bubbakoo's Burritos - Tex-Mex Near Me - West Long Branch, New Jersey

Giving 4 stars because I love bubbakoos, staff is great, foods excellent, vibe and atmosphere is good, my only issue is the steak, I paid $17 for triple steak bowl because I think portions are a little skimpy although fair, but I'd like to say that possibly 80% of all the steak I received was almost inedible, Chewy to the fullest and just didn't break down no matter how much I chewed lol, like chewing on a rubber band, that's my only complaint, every other meat is great, but the steak is cheap and for the most part inedible, which is weird because I've had it before where it was tender, juicy and seasoned great, but this time it was dry, super chewy and kind of bland ‍ other than that, no complaints, won't lose me as a customer which is almost 3-4 times a week, but maybe management or owners will take notice to the way the steak is going out read more

I am proud to say I can give this place 4 stars, not 5 only because the staff is a little standoffish & makes me feel belittled when I go in. Basically, most of the employees are rude. BUT, they give great portions & everything is always fresh, the meat is usually never fatty & you definitely get more than what you payed for. Bubbakoo's over chipotle any day!!! read more

Not really sure why people all flock to this place. The food is so bland. Salsas are bland. Steak was reheated (I watched them do it, it was precooked). Not for me. read more

I happen to love bubbakoos. I'd rather eat here than at Chipotle. The staff are usually pretty friendly.. and they start to recognize you when you go in on a regular basis. It's expensive.. yes.. but They are able to make a meal for you including chips/salsa and a drink. I drive 40 minutes to go there so I can avoid the other bad places around here. read more

I had a veggie salad and yes it was $8. Very disappointing and they charged $1+ for adding peppers/onions. And, they were very stale. The salad almost had no flavor to it and overall, the ingredients are not fresh. I ended up throwing more than 50% of the food in trash! Definitely worth going few miles west on the highway to get food at Chipotle is a good idea... read more

Sorry, but literally wish I could give this restaurant 0 stars. This is the THIRD TIME my food has tasted spoiled. I keep giving them the benefit of the doubt and tried for my last time today!!! Used to love them.. however they've gone WAY downhill. What the hell??!! Rice tasted like dirty dish water and cheese/sourcream tasted spoiled. Had to throw out 2 bowls and now I'm out $35!!!!!? Ridiculous. Won't be going here again. read more

The meat was tender and well seasoned, all the vegetables were fresh and the service was great! I'm slightly disappointed that I paid an extra dollar for the "spicy sriracha pork" and all they did was mix sriracha chili sauce with the pork. It doesn't matter though because the big portions and quality were impressive! will DEFINITELY come back! read more

Bubbakoo's Burritos - Buffalo chicken bowl with brown rice and veggies! - Tex-Mex Near Me - West Long Branch, New Jersey

Bubbakoos west long branch is alway a great place to grab a quick bite for lunch. The staff is friendly and adamant on making sure you get what you want and they may even throw in a funny joke here and there. I really have no idea what some of these other reviewers are talking about when they say the food is not fresh...if you go in early enough in the day you can actually see the staff in the back kitchen prepping the ingredients for their line. And yes, the guacamole is fresh and homemade, they just put it into those bags to dispense it. Bubbakoos never fails to please. Furthermore, it's a build your own lunch place so the size of your meal depends on what YOU decide to put on it. If you're disappointed at the size of your meal well you can always add a ton of cheese, corn, lettuce, jalapeños or more salsa for no extra charge. read more

I went there last night for dinner with my husband. I ordered a bowl and he got tacos. The chicken in my bowl tasted like it was three weeks old. It was disgusting - The guacamole was old and turning dark. My husband asked for steak tacos and the girl said well - I have to go in the back and cook that.......Obviously she didn't want to really work. At least that was his impression - TOO BAD..... I had an event catered by these guys a year ago and it was delicious - but as far as coming here to empty store - no so great! read more

This place is the worst if you order delivery. They've completely lost my order twice. The first time I called them and complained and they came right away. This time around they swore it was out for delivery. I waited an extra 30 minutes before calling grubhub to cancel. It sucks because the food is good, but now I'm stuck missing my lunch at work, not able to go to break and having to go straight to a second job on an empty stomach. You call and complain and they lie. Go pick it up or just go to chipotle. Lame. read more

As other Yelpers mentioned, Bubbakoo's is a very similiar menu and food service style to Qdoba and Chipotle Mexican Grill. The staff is very friendly. They seem to have come to terms with the indecision most people approach the counter with when it comes to the life-changing decisions of what type of tortilla, what type of meat, beans, veggies, salsa, and cheese. The team was very patient and seemed to understand the importance of each exchange with each customer in crafting their custom meal. All of the ingredients looked to be very fresh and more were being prepared as I was there, which is a good indicator of quality. While I was at Bubbakoo's, I was made aware of the following facts: they are a BYOB establishment and they honor a student discount. I will certainly have to return in the future for an El Hefe and some packaged goods in tow. read more

Great go-to for unique mexican-ish food. The grilled chicken is great quality, the queso is delicious. Sometimes it can get crowded but the line is never too bad. Definitely recommend! read more

Always fresh and quick deliveries! A little pricey but you get a fair amount of food! Definitely a go-to in our home.

Honestly, I have no idea what kind of "Mexican food" the other reviewers had before this place. I would gladly take Qdoba or Chipotle any day. This is a review of my first (and last) time trying this place (and I only came because it was close to my new office). FIrst of all, $9.08 for a regular (not "double") steak burrito? Give me a break. (I still think I was overcharged, since the menu said $7.49 with your choice of meat.... but no need to be stingy at a place I'm not planning to go back to.) Second of all, compared with the chain stores, the steak portions were VERY modest. (I cringed a bit when the guy fished a couple of pieces out of the 'gutter' of the grill when they reheated the steak pieces...) For the record, I gave two stars (with some reluctance) because the service was good and the food was edible. Do yourself a favor and go around the corner to the pizza place that sells a 16" pie for $9.99 (though I have yet to try the pizza myself). read more

Yo. This place freaking rocks balls, yo!!!! The assortment of meats you get. The queso and pico is good as well. A most def alternative to chipotle read more

Good as it gets, from the greeting to the atmosphere. Everytime fresh food and kool vibes.I go to other places with my kids and their meals are 10 bucks at Bubbakoos they have a 5 dollar student special. At least a twice a week joint! I go to the Point Pleasant one. read more
