    Mound nachos
    Jill M.

    Came back from a long day of traveling. Decided on Bubba' always a good burrito. We placed our order. Had to get the " mound nachos ( sounded amazing) as well to share with my husband. Sooo looking forward to those! The menus stated "loaded". What I got was pile of soggy chips and some cheese. Nothing like what I was expecting. Disappointed wanted them so bad Our burritos where good. But not great this time. I did call just to ask if I ordered correctly. The girl stated I should of got things on the side. She also said this happens a lot . Well, maybe it's a problem and should be looked at‍. Just a thought. So my " mound nachos" went bye bye and it was a sad day for this gal

    Bubbas has always been one of my fave burrito places. I first came here back in 2018 and always come back when I'm in the area. Their burritos pack so much flavor with simple ingredients. My favorite is the land and sea burrito! I love their take on the sauce in the burrito is so yum !! Service has always been good. Everyone there is very nice and super friendly. I have never had bad service coming here. The space is so cute. They have surf boards on the ceiling which gives it that beach town vibe. It's a very clean place and clean bathrooms. They have indoor seating and a full bar. They also have outdoor seating in the summer. Their outdoor seating is pretty big as they have seating in the front and back of the restaurant. I will say i got their chips and guac and it was pretty mediocre. The guac needed some more acidity and cilantro. But they did give a big portion of guac (see in pic). Overall love this place, I'd just skip on getting guac.

    Bubba's has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember! The restaurant itself is small and is seat yourself. The staff is always super friendly and nice and are definitely nice and quick so you won't be waiting in line forever! They have such a wide selection but their signature burritos are absolutely amazing. My two favorites are the Brotato and the Guilt Trip. This time I decided to go with the Guilt Trip. It's definitely a "treat yourself" meal but is SO delicious! The fact that there are mozzarella sticks and chicken fingers in a burrito is unreal. It's a great size, very filling, and at a very fair price point.

    Apartment hunting can be exhausting, especially in a different state. However, after signing our lease, we were excited to see what the community had to offer, in terms of food. We came across Bubba' s Burrito Bar and safe to say we are excited to come back. Food 5/5: let me start off by saying that these burritos are massive. I didn't know what to expect as I walked in and placed my order. I saw a couple people eating their burritos outside and saw that they were packed. I ordered the Idaho because I love potatos inside my burrito (a habit I have picked up from Taco Bell). The portions are large and one burrito could definitely be two meals or shared depending on your appetite. This place is also excellent for vegetarians. Service 5/5: I particularly loved eating here because while I was waiting for my food, 3 different staff members asked me if I needed anything and checked on my food for me. It was very nice to see, especially as a stranger who is moving into the area. They all had smiles on their faces and willing to help me. Ambience 5/5: what a well decorated restaurant. It basically has all the vibes of a beach bar without being on the beach. I loved the look of the interior, however there was no indoor seating. We did eat outside in the back and while it was not the prettiest, we didn't mind as the food was good and we were excited to eat. Pro Tips: If you need parking, it seems like they have a lot in the back. I found parking easy on the Main Street, but I came on a weekday so the situation might be different on the weekends.

    The food here was so delicious! The burritos are super big I was really surprised. You'll def be full no question and the variety is crazy. All the servers are really nice and helpful. Even while it was a little busy they got everything out quick and correctly. The vibe here is really cool it's like you're out for the summer even though it's cold out. I can't wait to come back here and try more of the menu!

    Guilt Trip
    Steve P.

    I have heard a lot about Bubba's and today was the day we went. We ordered the Buffalo Burrito and the Guilt Trip. They were both delicious, and great portions. The Buffalo Burrito was more traditional as it had rice in it. The Guilt trip was more like a wrap as it didn't have rice, but had fries / chicken / bacon. Both were equally delicious and I would definitely go back. They also have a bar area which is where we are. They mentioned this was added right before covid, but obviously during that time they shut down. It essentially doubles the size of their restaurant.

    Indoor setup due to Covid
    Phuong H.

    Service: Accommodating. They were so nice and accommodated for all the changes I had to my order. With Covid, they do not allow for in door seating and have barriers in front of the registers. If you can finish the burritos, you will be in a food coma, so plan ahead. Food: Brotato (Marinated steak, fresh-cut fried potatoes, onion rings, shredded cheese blend, and bacon topped with bayou sauce) - MUST HAVE. The tenderness of the steak and the combination of everything else was so good. I drizzled the queso over this and it is the biggest game changer! Guilt Trip (Chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, fresh-cut fried potatoes, bacon, shredded cheese blend, and sour cream topped with baja sauce) - Food Coma. This is not for the faint of hearts. It is over the top with the amount of food that comes in it. I would suggest swaping out the fries with rice to make it slightly less greasy. Getting extra sauce for this is key because the acid will help break up the greasy taste you have in your mouth. Queso - Very Classic and is a must try on all the food you get! On to my next food adventure...

    Bubba's is hands down the best Mexican quick eats in the Islip area. Everyone there is so friendly and everything on their menu is amazing. I mostly pick up but I've had delivery over a 20 times and my order was only wrong once. That's pretty impressive. They rectified the issue immediately AND re-delivered. My favorite is the Bubb Salad with either shrimp or steak. The chipotle dressing is yum! All the tacos are great, my fav is the fish taco. Their burritos are HUGE and the prices are extremely fair especially with the economy the way it is now. 5 stars all day!!

    Hard shell ground beef ok and soft shell steak chewy not good!
    Cary R.

    After reading all the great reviews I was expecting have some awesome tacos! I knew it would be crowded based on the reviews. When we arrived line was at the door. No table service so if you come with two people one stands on line while the other hunts down a table. If you sit at the bar you get full service. You can order your food and drinks there. I noticed those at the bar getting their food orders before others although they arrived later. I was standing for 45 mins waiting for my order so yeah I had plenty of time to observe hahahah! They have such an outdated system they should have buzzers to let people know to get their order when they are ready. No tables were available inside so we sat outside in the back unfortunately no intercom so they told me I would have no choice but to stand and wait inside until my number was called. I ordered 1 steak, 1 fish (baja sauce was great) and 1 beef. None of my tacos wowed me. Pretty mediocre tacos don't understand the hype at all! Steak was chewy and tough. Maybe burritos is their thing plenty ordered that. I definitely won't be back tacos are just okay but not worth all that wait! 2 stars for okay tacos and 3 stars off based on outdated system for orders and long wait times. I have to admit I was a tad pissed seeing customers coming later but getting food before just bc they sat at the bar. This is bad customer service on their end.

Everything had that fresh, made to order feel that immediately sets the tone for a great meal. The place was booming and the staff was so welcoming! The fish taco really stole the show. The batter on the fish was light, crisp, and perfectly golden. None of that heavy, greasy coating you sometimes get. It had a really clean crunch that let the fish itself shine, and every bite tasted fresh and beyond flavorful with the cabbage and crema on top. The carne asada mulitas were just as impressive. Rich, savory, and layered with flavor, with that perfect combo of melted cheese and grilled meat tucked into the house made tortillas. And the drinks tied everything together. The margaritas were super fresh and well-balanced, especially the spicy piña. No pre-made sour mix or after taste! You could tell everything was made with real ingredients bright, refreshing, and just the right kick of heat to keep it interesting. Overall, it was the perfect Cinco de Mayo stop! Great energy, fresh food, and standout flavors across the board. I will definitely be a regular here!

One of my friends ordered a quesadilla with a side of rice. The menu described the rice as "toasted with garlic," but she said it tasted like plain steamed minute white rice with no seasoning. We ended with coffee and churros. The coffee arrived well before the churros, and when the churros finally came, three had cinnamon sugar and one did not at all. None of them were warm, and the dough inside was undercooked and raw. All three of us agreed that the food lacked flavor across the board. Thankfully, the company was great, which made the experience more enjoyable than the meal itself. Hopefully, this was just an off day for the kitchen, but overall it was a very disappointing lunch.

The ceviche was perfectly seasoned and balanced with that lovely punch of lime and again, the right amount of heat (for me). The space is lovely with beautiful pendant lighting. It's obvious that Pecado took a lot of care to create a beautiful space to gather and share great food and drinks. Oh, and the drinks are so pretty. The sangria was strong but in the best way. I recommend and would absolutely come back again.
