The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It’s always nice to support a place where the people are just as great as the food. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!“

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire.

“Muy buen servicio, la comida con el mejor sabor en New Jersey.“

“Taqueria María @ Jamesburg NJ Fresh taste Fresh food Great service I JUST LOVE IT“

“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.“

“los taquitos de birria más ricos que he probado!!!“

“From the very first plate, everything felt intentional. The presentation wasn’t just pretty, it was poetic…colors placed like they had a purpose, textures layered like a quiet symphony. Then you taste it, and suddenly it all makes sense. Every bite had depth. Not just flavor, but personality. Rich without being heavy, bold without being loud.“

“We eat here once a week, faithfully. Actually because we have such a big order, we order it for delivery to Piscataway. I ate there twice in the restaurant and was HOOKED! The flavors are so DELICIOUS! We’ve have our favorite menu items and a nice variety. Hands down best place to eat!“

“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.“

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

“We had our son's high school graduation dinner here and it was amazing!! I met with Alfredo to come up with a prefix menu for our family gathering. From the appetizer of chicken empanada with all the fixings, to filled burritos of every kind, and the amazing atmosphere, this was an amazing day! Alfredo and his staff were attentive to us and we left with our bellies full of authentic Mexican meals!! We can't wait to go back and enjoy this local restaurant and share more memories and enjoy delicious food!“

“Bubbakoo's reminds me of Moe's in the best ways with lots of options with delicious queso. Food was pretty good, customer service was stellar. Rep gave me white rice instead of brown. Offered to remake it, I declined. He took a percentage off my total order. You don't get service like that too often anymore. Not to mention I was greeted upon entering establishment.“

“Always very tasty. Great staff. Great atmosphere.“

“Excelente atención al cliente y su comida muy rica.“

“Everything was Great haven’t had Tacos that Good ever“

“Hello, I wanted to share my experience at the restaurant. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was excellent with traditional music and a very clean environment. The food was prepared fresh on the spot, and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys savoring a truly excellent, authentic Mexican dish.“

“My bartender Alex made my experience quite pleasurable. She was welcoming and made me feel at home like I've been there 100 times and it was my first visit. She was attentive. I never felt like i was waiting around or in need of anything. And the drinks she made were phenomenal. Definitely will be returning.“

“I LOVE IT I BEEN THERE TWICE AND WE DON'T SPEAK SPANISH BUT WE WERE HELP AND THE WAITRESS REMEMBER US FROM THE LAST TIME. THE SHRIMP IS TO DIE FOR. WILL BE BACK“

“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.“

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10“

“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!!!!“

“The food is delicious and I love their queso its the best. And service is always good.“

“Food is fresh and delicious with so many options to choose from. Chips and salsa are free with each meal ( you don’t have to pay for them), the staff is wonderful and the place is clean! Queso is a must!!“

“Muy rica la comida y muy limpio el lugar“

“Great experience. We wanted something different than what is offered at rest stops off of 95. This place popped up and we decided to try it out! The guy behind the counter was very friendly and the food was excellent. We got a Chicken Cesar Wrap and a Club Sandwich. They hit the spot! This place really is a “One stop shop”. We forgot to take a picture of the food because we were so hungry. If we are ever traveling this way again, we’ll definitely be back!“

“Their flavor is very good, they have a great Mexican flavor and their food options are varied. An excellent place to eat Mexican food.

Wheelchair accessibility: As it does not have steps, it is an excellent option for people who use wheelchairs since access is very easy and the staff is very friendly.“

“Late night, this place served me despite that another down the street would not because I could not speak Spanish. I was just hungry. I came here, ordered tamales 🫔 & all I can say is " Estos tamales son muy deliciosos!!" Great hospitality, I felt very welcome & loved ❤️“

“This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area! The food is delicious and very authentic. The ambiance and decorations make you feel like you are visiting Mexico. The staff are super friendly too. Overall a great experience.

Parking: When I come at off hours (11:00-3:00 PM) it's easy to find parking on the street. Probably not that easy during the evening rush.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a door right off the street. There should be no problems.“

“Muy bueno la comida gracias“

“La comida deliciosa 👌 era cliente frecuente de este lugar pero el pésimo servicio de atención al cliente por parte una mesera eh decidido no volver. ( Me atendió de muy mala gana y yo amablemente le pedí algo a lo que ella respondió indirectamente de manera grosera).“

“Seemed like they only spoke Spanish, but Idk. Prices were fair, portion size was just right, food was fantastic. Served chips with salsa verde. The salsa was spicy in the best way. I got pollo el chipotle. It was perfect. Also got pupusas. Definitely authentic food made very well. So far my favorite Mexican place in New Jersey.“

“This is a very small place to eat and I usually order to pick up. What I can say is the food it’s authentic Mexican , so tasty and delicious , I’m not a big fan of spicy foods but this place use enough condiments on their meats , they use jalapeños but if you don’t want them, request not to put them on your food…overall food it’s delicious highly recommend“

“Excellent food, service, hospitality all the way around. I cannot express how authentically delicious the meals are here. The taste should give you a reason to pay whatever the price is because it’s worth it. Amazing flavors, forever obsessed. Definitely ordering more often.“

“Tacos tripa and carnitas were really delicious; tender tripa and tasty carnitas with just the right crunch. Pollo de Mole Oaxaqueno was fantastic. The chicken was super moist and tender and some of the best mole sauce I have ever had. Highly recommended- I will definitely be back!“

“Es uno de mis lugares favoritos porque la comida es excelente, muy buen sazón y a precio justo, lo malo es el servicio, cuando están los muchachos ellos atienden muy bien, pero hay una joven que atiende de mala gana, las veces que nos ha atendido ella es lo mismo, hoy mejor preferimos ya no comprar nada, cuidado con eso porque con gente así no dan ganas de volver.“

“Loved free Queso Day On September 20th. Hope having more days like that coming up.“

“The food in this place is really good, the tacos, burritos and homemade Mexican soups are outstanding. The place is a little dated and they have a very small parking lot. I must admit I do have one pet peeve with the beef soup. They put green beans in the soup. Not a fan of that. Other than that the service and people working there are very nice“

“las meseras super atentas la comida muy buena y todo se mantiene limpio ❤“

“We went in our Sun afternoon and here was no wait. The food was ready quickly and everything tasted delicious. The green salsa is delicious and would buy it by the bucket if I could😁. My table tried the birria, tamale, empanada, burrito, and more. Everything was great and I will return.“
