Bubbakoo's Burritos — Restaurant in Hamilton Township

I was so honored to have received an invitation to try out some of the menu from the brand new Bubbakoo's Burritos in Bartonsville, PA a day before their grand opening. I got a chance to sit with the franchisee and talk for a while and he has such a strong desire to please his customers and provide a great workplace for his employees. I was honestly very impressed with him as a Franchise owner (he has a few others in New Jersey as well) and also with his food.

We started with The "Crispy Chicken Bacon Sriracha Ranch Quesadilla". No, I did not attempt to say that three times fast. The first really cool part about this menu item (that I learned from speaking with the franchisee) is that an employee of the company one day tossed this together and said they thought it would sell well. It then went through the necessary channels and became a menu item across the whole company. How awesome is that? To be working for a chain restaurant and having your ideas matter in that type of capacity is not something you see often. The Quesadilla by the way, was very good. The chicken was breaded and in fact crispy, lots of cheese, a really nice cook on the tortilla, and the sriracha ranch had a nice touch of heat but nothing anywhere near too much. I enjoyed this a lot.

Moving on to the "Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito". I got this specific item exactly how it would come on the menu and I played around with the next one a bit. Nashville hot is a big trend right now but I've often found that most places that sell it, leave the hot behind. This burrito had just enough heat that I wanted a drink, but not so much that I needed one. Keep in mind that I thoroughly enjoy heat though so this one may be a bit much for people who don't typically eat spicy foods. Plenty of chicken, rice, and pickles stuffed in this burrito and the tortilla was warmed and wrapped perfectly.

After that it was time to try the "Hibachi Steak and Shrimp Burrito". I wanted to personalize this one a bit so I had the white rice, black beans, white queso, lettuce, onions, cheese, and some Thai chili sauce to toss the shrimp and steak in. The flavor combinations were nice, but I think next time I'll sub out the Thai chili for a different flavor so I can keep trying everything! The steak and shrimp were very tender, I was impressed by that. A lot of times at restaurants like this I've gotten some questionable steak or shrimp but this was spot on. All of the toppings were also fresh as well. This was a very good burrito.

Dessert! Did someone say Dessert?! How about some Boardwalk Cookies and an Apple Pie Empanada? The Boardwalk Cookies were fried Oreos that we got some caramel dipping sauce for and they were excellent. Nice and hot from the fryer and just melted in your mouth. The Apple Pie Empanada had a really crispy shell and was topped with more caramel and confectioners sugar and it was light enough that it wasn't overbearing, but still hit that sweet tooth just right.

And now...time for a nap! Bubbakoo's Burritos brand new location in Bartonsville, PA -...

My new favorite spot! You MUST get the CRISPY BIRRIA CHEESE DILLA. Pls don’t take this off the menu EVERRRR. My god. Literally the most delicious savory, cheesy, umami, crunchy food in The Poconos. I’m so mad I didn’t know about this store sooner. The Queso is perfect! Beautiful little hit of spice that I dipped the Dilla into. My husband got to customize his burrito exactly how he likes it (just beef and cheese, no rice or beans) that is hard to get elsewhere.

Just stumbled on this place yesterday (January 14th, 2025) right around noon. There was a young black man and a young white lady, I should have gotten their names, my apologies, that were literally the nicest and most helpful ppl. Walked me through all the choices and explained some cool stuff on the menu. Super sweet. If the Manager or owner sees this, pls tell them we said so. They deserve it.

Going again on Friday. I live all the way up in Bushkill but will be making a special trip to go there. Gonna try the CHIWAWA! It’s a giant rice ball that they smash open and then put anything you want on it! They also have 3 kinds of chicken, shredded/grilled/crispy and lots of other protein options like hibachi steak and birria and carnitas. Lots of choices! Vegetarian options too!

This review got long, but forgot to mention the atmosphere/interior. Super clean, love that! And really fun decor/wall murals. Would be chill to eat-in. Listen…definitely go...

Received a 5.00 coupon in the mail, so went to try it for the first time, food was okay. When I walked in the First thing I noticed was the exhaust hood was dripping with grease. Second thing I noticed how black and dirty the flat tops were. Third thing, how dark the fryer oil was. Took around 20 minutes for me to get my order with only 2 people in front of me. Had three people in the back preping while only 2 out front cooking/wrapping. The person handling cash is also handling food. The preson wrapping my burrito didn't know how to wrap a burrito and needs more training. When I sat to eat my food my napkin dispenser had like 3 napkins left in it. This was at around 12:40 in the afternoon. I would rather gone the extra 5 mins to Moe's south west up the road. I was not the only one noticing the condictions if the kitchen. A family of 3 walked out mentioning how it didn't look clean. I know these are small things but if your letting these small things lapse, what large things might be getting let go too? This more of a letter to owner, that they need to crack down on the management team to make sure their team is properly cleaning the establishment. Especially with a...
