“Best authentic mexican food around. The place is super clean and the people ate very nice with smiles on their faces. Being that we love the food so much and we go quite often I decided to learn Spanish and I communicated what food we wanted in Spanish and to my surprise we got exactly what i asked for. Anyway, I highly recommend this place as the food is so fresh and full of flavor! We get the Empanadas and Huaraches with a side of rice/beans.“

“Fun atmosphere and had the best "new" waitress, Lila!!“

“I ate at the Monroe store today. I had never been at a Buubakoos before and did not know what to expect. I had the pork burrito and it was off the hook. The place was spotless and the service was spot on. The manager came over and introduced himself as John and asked if everything was satisfactory, and it was more than satisfactory. You would think John was the owner not just the manager, he cared as if was his own business. It was good to see that. I will be back for sure, my new go to place.“

“The best Mexican food and service!!!“

“This is a clean, fairly quick stop for food. Both the jerk chicken and chicken tacos were tasty, I enjoyed the fried crunchy hard shell. The kids meal is a great portion. I look forward to trying the crunch wrap. The temperature of the food could be hotter and a side of rice or chips would be nice with the regular taco meal. They have 2 person tables for seating. Late night hours are helpful.“

“We don’t order or dine out much, but we highly recommend this place. It’s a hidden gem that makes Mexican food with a very traditional approach. They also use fresh products. I can’t get enough of their Raja Tamales. The owner and staff are very friendly. Give it a try.“

“The Manager, Krish, was happy to speak with me and patiently answered my questions regarding GLUTEN-FREE options including GF chips and crispy tacos!!!! The restaurant is always busy, the food is so fresh and delicious. The lettuce is chopped thin, not too thin just right. The dressings, such as the lime cilantro vinaigrette and chipotle mayo and spicy red salsa are incredible. The chicken and steak are grilled to perfection, they are able to handle large take out orders with advanced ordering and my office is so thrilled when we order from Burrito Bowl Mexican grill. We no longer have Taco Tuesdays-only- Now we have Taco Weds, Thurs and Friday too with many options not just Tacos!!!!“
