I have food allergies so choices are always limited. The service was very nice: Friendly and professional. The server was thoughtful about what she could recommend based on my allergies. Suffice it to say it was not much. It's not her fault. $11 for a burrito?! I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. If you've got a group or a family, the ambience is good for that lots of tables open spaces and if you have no food, allergies, you can build one heck of a burrito, I guess Five stars for the service and a combination of two and three stars for the pricing. read more

I've lived in the area for years and never tried Bubbakoo's because of sticker shock. But today they had a BOGO for the chicken bowl or burrito and I had errands nearby, so I gave it a shot. For $6.50 a bowl, the food is acceptable. To use a modern colloquialism: it's very mid. I liked the pineapple salsa. The chicken is okay, the chunks are decent sized. Portion however is a joke. The main issue is that there is NO WAY I would ever pay regular price for this. $13 each for this is outrageous. And that's without chips and guac. That would put it over $20 Last week Salsa Fresca had a similar deal and the food is better, the helpings are bigger, and they give you chips and salsa. No such courtesy here! You would need to fork over $4 more for that! In my opinion, this place isn't worth it. I'm half expecting a response to this from the owner in an attempt placate me with phoney customer service to look like they care, but the best way to do that is reevaluate your prices and stop trying to squeeze every dollar you can from your customers. And give us chips like your competitors! But I know you won't. In fact you'll probably end up raising prices. Peace out read more

Bubbakoo's Burritos - People pay $13 for this?!? - Tex-Mex Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

Would not recommend they were using the same spatula that they were cooking raw chicken on my quesadilla. Definitely not the most sanitary. Ended up not eating it due to not wanting to get sick waste of money. Like you would think it's common sense not to use a spatula you're touching raw chicken with food that's being served to customers. read more

I was really excited to try this new place. We placed an order ahead and I'm glad we did because the place was super busy. I really wanted to love my food but felt like there was a lot I was missing. I ordered the bowl and online, there are so many toppings they don't offer without an additional charge which doesn't seem right. I'm wondering if they need to work the kinks out with their ordering platform. When I got the food, the portion was definitely very large but the problem was flavor. Everything seemed like it needed to be kicked up a notch and tasted kind of bland. The ingredients could definitely use some more seasoning and I really missed toppings like sour cream and many others, requiring an additional charge. I wasn't thrilled by my visit but I'd be willing to visit again and try something different next time. read more

Just paid $15 for a cold burrito. That's not good. The cheese wasn't even slightly melted. This is the only review I've ever written in my life. That should tell you something. read more

This place never disappoints. I love their whole healthy rice bowls with all veggie toppings. Plus I usually add mango habanero over it and it's delicious. Definitely great for filling dinner when you don't want to cook. read more

Cool space - Looks clean. Chipotle style service. Got the steak quesadilla @ $11+. Greasy cheesy mess. Woulda been better off @ Taco Bell. Ill skip this overpriced fast food spot. Tortilla was literally covered in oil. Newsflash - oil is not needed to crisp a tortilla! Maybe the rice bowls are better, but if you are looking for a solid quesadilla, keep it moving. read more

Ordered catering for 12. Chicken quesadillas plus chicken and beef burritos. Food was fine, nothing particularly good, but nothing bad. Wasn't told that entrees come with house made chips and salsa, sour cream, & pico de gallo, so I spent and additional $45 on what ended up being a tray of chips, a pint each of queso, guacamole, salsa, pico, and sour cream. Everything was fine but $45 is an absolute RIP OFF, especially when everything else is included with the entrees except the queso & the guacamole, which I didn't need! My bad I guess! At least the food was okay! read more

Came here for the first time last night. Food was awesome. The menu is really cool and they have unique things like chicken bacon ranch burritos, buffalo chicken quesadillas, etc... I got the Birria quesadilla which was really good. I would def recommend read more

We grabbed lunch at Bubbakoo for the first time today. I was very impressed. Their bowls are huge. Their ingredients are fresh, such a wide selection of toppings and sauces. I found the food much more impressive than Chipotle. They also have many other menu options such as quesadillas and fries That you don't get at chipotle. They may have become my new fast food go to place And I will definitely be back read more

The bowl I got was just OK. The service seemed discombobulated. It wasn't slow but everyone seemed to be in training. I did get my food in under 5 minutes although I called in my order. It wasn't bad or good food and service. read more

Bubbakoo's Burritos - Crispy Tacos! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

Have been here a few times and always a great experience! My son says the atmosphere isn't pretentious like a well known similar type food chain, and is made for "someone like him", and if we lived closer is a place and and his friends would visit often and even try to get a job there. The staff is always super friendly and even apologizing that my food wasn't ready when I was 5 minutes early! I love that there are so many options-burritos, bowls, tacos, etc. everything I have gotten has been great and tasted fresh. I am also happy that I have to drive 45min to it, so it keeps me from grabbing dinner there all the time. Great staff, atmosphere and food! read more

I generally don't like to post bad reviews for new restaurants but I tried them twice and both times two weeks apart were not good. The biggest complaint is the food has no flavors it is totally bland. I paid extra for a steak burrito which was freshly cooked ( had to wait) and tasted like pot roast kibble. Not steak. My wife's chicken was colorful but lacked fllavor the chips were good served as a side Sorry to say I won't be going there a third time with the 6 other Tex mex themed restaurants opening in the area I do not expect they will be around long read more

On the menu they have a bunch of various meat options. So you are probably thinking they have various meats marinated and cooked in certain seasonings and sauces. Nope! The truth is they have the usual options then they have different sauces they add to the meat when you order it. Seriously this is not sriracha pork! This is your typical shredded pork with sriracha sauce added to it!!!! Not even some special formulated sriracha that blends well with the seasonings in the pork. They use Huy Fong, you know the one. It has the green cap and rooster on it. They don't hide it. You order like Chipotle. "Yes I would like the Mango chicken". They then take the same chicken they use if you just ordered "chicken" then throw it in a bowl and mix it with a mango sauce. No additional cooking or wizardry. It's a just a gimmick. Seriously they could just add that sauce at the end. Why are they mixing it in a bowl? It's just odd. Seriously just put the meat in the burrito then add the sauce into the burrito like a normal human. Why do we need to make a production out of this?!? Seems like some nonsense an executive came up with that only has that job because his Uncle owns the bank that lent them the money to open. "Go back to the golf course Kyle your ideas are hot garbage" The Queso is good but it's hard to mess up Queso. I like this place better than Moe's but it doesn't compete with Chipotle. Definitely worth a try for the individuals that like the Chipotle style of ordering and style of food. They have a larger selection of menu items as well. - ....except for the meats, they just have a bunch of different sauces to add to the meats. .....Ohh one last thing. The "crispy chicken" is just a typical fried chicken finger cut up. :Edited:::::: to respond to "Tom M, business owner" but really to troll him. Seriously did you read this review? You need me to email some general customer service person about my experience. It's already written right here numbcakes!!! Your response is for me to re-explain myself to them when it's all written right here in this review. It's very obvious my problem with this place? I ranted about it in the whole review the way I am ranting about your ignorant response. Did your privilege not offer you a reading comprehension tutor? No where in my review did I say my experience was bad. I actually recommended this establishment in the review but did you not understand that part with your pea sized brain? Now changing my review to not recommend and a one star, cupcake. I can tell from your standard BS response the type of person you are and feel sorry for your employees. Good day sir. I said GOOD DAY!!! read more

This was my first time trying this place. I ordered dinner off of DoorDash tonight. I've had a lot of taco salads from different places over the years. This was, by far, my favorite! It was very tasty and had lots of chicken in it. The Buffalo sauce was SO GOOD. When I've ordered taco salads from other places in the past, it honestly wasn't that good and the taco shell bowl always gets soggy before I even get it. My boyfriend really enjoyed the meatless burrito he ordered. The queso dip was the best I've ever had. I'll definitely be ordering from them again. Thanks for dinner! read more

I stopped here for the first time after working all day. I paid $14 for a burrito bowl and got about 2oz of meat. I was shocked. Very unhappy with my meal. The staff was great and very polite. My bowl was not worth the price. Bummer. read more

We dropped off my grandson at a birthday party nearby and wanted to grab lunch. We dropped in for a bite. It reminds me of a lame Chipotle or Moe's. The food and ordering was like a fast food place like Taco Bell but the prices ended up being like a real restaurant... like over $55 for lunch for 3 people. And not that good even. I say stay away and this place will probably go out of business really soon. Just my opinion though. read more

I went twice! The first time I ordered this bowl that they have and it tasted like nothing. They need to add way more seasoning to their meat! The second time the SAME thing! I ordered a bowl and very little meat with NO taste. Also I ordered guacamole on the side and they give me SO little. I rather make the drive to chipotle. Never again. read more

Went for grand opening. Absolutely trash. Too many people working. Get this NJ chain out of here and put it back in NJ.

I was expecting so much more from this new establishment. My son and I are big fans of the Chipotle and Moe's type restaurants so I decided to take him here after his first day of middle school. The ordering process was long and drawn out we had to repeat ourselves multiple times. Then we had to stand around awkwardly until the shrimp I ordered was done. Now on to the food. The ingredients seemed fine and their was plenty of it but it was all completely tasteless. Half way through I threw in the towel and decided to open the burrito and just pick out the small tasteless shrimp. 32 bucks for 2 tasteless burritos a bag of cardboard chips and 2 drinks. Do yourself a favor and go to Taco Bell until chipotle opens by Marist. read more

The food is good. I ordered a bowl with shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, cheese, marinated fresh grilled chicken, and seasoned white rice. I found it to have a lack of flavor, although it was filling. I got the food here in comparison to Chipotle and I do find Chipotle to be better although similar. The service was quick and satisfactory. I order my food using DoorDash, and it arrived within about thirty to forty-five minutes (I live about twenty minutes away). It was a rather big order, and they got everything correct. read more

I thought the food was really good, first time trying it. My order was missing cheese which I paid for. It's in the details that matter to keep customers returning. read more

I ordered on the app today. Estimated pick up time was 6:03 and I waited in the restaurant until 6:30 having to speak to 3 rude workers to actually get my food. As soon as I got home the food was cold, sides were missing, and special instructions were not followed. Not to mention the fried Oreos were hard and inedible. I've previously ordered here via door dash and the food was amazing. Don't know what happened tonight as it was not even busy in the restaurant. Will not be recommending to anyone I know this is complete bullshit. Not worth my $34.60. read more

The line was long and very slow moving. You get the the line they ask you what you want. People or leaning over each other to make orders one lady wasn't wearing a hair net or hat. They start to make my burrito and just clump down rice and toppings with what looks like an ice cream scooper. They then move down the line for toppings. Again same lady reaching across people. Two of the burritos rip before they can even wrap them. So rather then rewrap them they double wrap them. Not a big deal. So 3 burritos 6 pieces of boneless wings and chips with Salsas 60 dollars !! I was a little taken by the price but ok. Get home take the first bite of the burrito just rice and beans no meat. Almost half through the burrito before I get any of my chicken. So called general chows chicken isn't even really good, they take fried chicken fingers cut it up and spray some sauce on it !! The other burrito was shrimp same thing !!! Half way into before you find shrimp. Even on the third burrito same thing. Someone needs to teach them how to make a proper burrito especially at these prices. Chips and Salsa were ok guess you can't screw up that. The Boneless chicken wings were the only reason I gave them one star !! They were really good. Other the place is over priced over hyped and probably won't be back !! Hopefully the manger will see this a refund my money !! Total disappointment !! So after the response from the business nothing. I emailed them at their request and haven't heard anything back from them. I wouldn't even recommend them at this point. This is unacceptable for a new business that claim to want to make things right. read more

Food is excellent. The manager and staff are all very friendly and basically know my face when I walk in at this point. In a world of "build your own" places, Bubbakoo's carves out its own niche from Moe's Southwest and Chipotle. They offer more than just burritos and bowls and never skimp you on the ingredients. Can't recommend them enough. After eating here several times, the other burrito shops won't receive my business again. read more

The good was so good and the service was excellent!!! It is very, very clean tge atmosphere was fun! I highly recommend Bubbakoos's Burritos!! read more

Ordered from grub hub. Called the restaurant to specifically ask for extra sour cream. Ignored.quesadilla had a very old oil taste to it. Not great. No napkins or forks either read more

I made a specials trip to try Bubbakoo's in Poughkeepsie as an alternate to Chipotle in Fishkill. Was intrigued by the similarities of the menu and format and was looking forward to trying this place as is much closer to my home. To be fair with my comparison, I ordered an identical item to what I usually had gotten from Chipotle. (Burrito, white rice, grilled chicken, queso, sour cream, guac and salsa). One nice pro is that there are more menu items and condiments available than Chipotle (loved the cilantro and jalapeno options!) Looked promising. I started my ordering process and peaked into the bins containing all the food for the assembly of the menu items. Noticed right away some bins empty or near bottom. Asked for extra white rice and the young girl behind the counter seemed concerned to just smear on a measured amount. I say smear because as I found out, the rice was VERY gummy and without any flavor. Also the queso bin was pretty much empty and my burrito maker kept scraping the bottom and side to try and get a partial ladle full. It was very thin and soupy looking. towards the end of the line I asked for guacamole and saw it was being dispensed from a plastic bag (like a pastry bag). This caused another young lady who was finishing my order to have difficulty measuring out the guac. This is a presumption, but the staff seemed overly concerned about making sure to only supply the exact amount of product. Paid for my burrito and left. Ate it for lunch when I returned home. It was just ok. Not bad. The most notable thing in comparison to Chipotle is that Bubbakoo's burrito lacked FLAVOR (mostly with the queso and white rice). Although quality seemed decent, was not up to the level of Chipote. Cost was about the same. In short, fairly quick service, just an ok burrito (meh), nice employees (although quite young and seemingly nervous to make an error). OK prices. Not bad quality. Having this one experience I believe if I really was in the mood for a good burrito, I would likely skip Bubbakoo's and drive to Mexicali Blue or further on to Chipotle. read more
