Bubby’s Burritos
“Can't comment on the delivery, but pick up is always good – no where to park but that is true for most of the area around there”
“I sat down, opened up my skateboard mag, took some pictures of the joint with my SLR and in no time, the waitress dropped my burrito and chips in front of me.”
“Vegan burrito with tofu sour cream that actually *tastes* good (it's probably Tofutti but at least I'm enjoying it).”

decent Mexican takeout, good size portions
I come here a lot for lunch because it is right by my job. I love the authenticity of their food. Especially their specific mexican menu. For example they offer quesadillas but then they also offer mexican quesadilla which is more authentic and out of this world good. Not a lot of seating offered. Could be pricey. Not a fan of the quality of their tortilla chips but their food is delicious!
All I wanted was a burrito and no wait- so Bubby's was the choice.
They have a ton of burritos to choose from and I decided stuck with a safe chicken burrito. Not the best burrito in the world but not the worst either. It was a decent burrito and satisfied my craving. Little heavy on the rice -but they didn't skimp on the guac either.
If you want your next Tex Mex fix to completely I knock you off your feet – you may want to try elsewhere. But if you want something basic and not have to be Taco Bell – this is a fine choice.
When I'm under the influence of alcohol, I will eat anything and love it like food is gonna be out of style. How the the hell did Bubby's Burritos manage to screw this up?
We ordered a burrito bowl – chicken, beans, rice, I think corn was also involved. I hadn't eat much that afternoon. It was a recipe for success that failed. No bursting in Mexican flavors! All separate ingredients with nothing to tie them together.
I didn't enjoy this meal and it was a waste of $8.
A-Ok. Friendly service, nice area to eat your food; no brewskies though and cash-only.
I had a few bites left to go before finishing the whole burrito I ordered when a thought crossed my mind: "I should have gotten a smoothie to wash thi—"
Then I started to choke and a new thought tip toed into my cerebrum: "I am gonna get a ****ing parking ticket if I die right now and can't get back to the car in 75 minutes."
Then I thought about other things…like:
*Did I really drive 30 minutes to Jersey City just to choke and die on a beef burrito? I don't even really like beef.
*I am not gonna see the next episode of The Walking Dead.
*Did it REALLY take me 30 minutes to get here? I usually do it in 18.
*I wasn't even hungry…what am I doing in a restaurant?
*I won't be able to write a Yelp review if I die in her—
And that did it…that final thought willed me to swallow the massive morsel of burrito that thought it would replicate The Grim Reaper and do me in.
Now, no one knows Jersey City better than me. No one. No cab driver, no cop, no city official, no 200 year old local..nobody.
I don't know JUST the 'nice' parts or JUST the 'ghetto' parts…I know it ALL.
So imagine my dismay when I realized that this place is not called "Benny's Burritos".
O_o
Yeah, that's the face I made when I looked at the window from within and read the logo backwards.
I looked at the menu and anyone who knows me knows I don't like to spend more than $7 on food when I eat (no one knows me) out unless someone got a raise or someone dumped an abusive ex and we decided to go out and celebrate.
But I had to go over that and I decided to get a beef burrito. It was simple (aka didn't get cheaper than that)…and the whole time I thought to myself, "man, I just spent $9 on what will probably be the circumference of a Twizzler".
But then I had OPTIONS between chips and a salad.
**** came with a ****ing side! Holy ****!
I sat down, opened up my skateboard mag, took some pictures of the joint with my SLR and in no time, the waitress dropped my burrito and chips in front of me.
She must bench 200lbs at the local gym cuz this burrito was bigger than a tree trunk.
Definitely worth $9 given the prices:portions ratio you come across this close to NYC.
I didn't really expect to come back here and see 5 stars, but I didn't think the rating would be this low. A lot of the problems seem to be isolated incidents.
"Huge" is the only adjective I have used to describe the burrito…I dunno if any of you noticed that…it's definitely not a reason to run out to this place, so lemme talk about taste.
It tasted ok.
I would come here once if you're a burrito aficionado (their menu is STACKED) and try this place and see what you think. Wouldn't hurt. They have a ton of vegetarian options also if you need that. Nice decor, I found parking easy…then again, Jersey City loves me, and it smells amazing when you first walk in.
As of this post, cash only…all you need is a ten and you'll be full for a while.
When I was done, I left behind two grains of rice to make me feel like less of a fat ass.
The portions are HUGE! It takes me 3 sittings to finish these monster burritos, and that is walking away STUFFED! but mmm so good. Forget about trying to hold it in your hands and try not to eat here on a first date, unless you don't mind making a big mess. I keep it in the container that it comes with and spoon out the goodies so that the fillings don't all come oozing out.
We called ahead to make sure Bubby's was open (7:30 PM on a Sunday night), and no one answered the phone. So we called Taqueria instead, found out Taqueria is open until 8, and decided to walk there, with the intention of passing Bubby's along the way.
Bubby's was indeed open. When we mentioned to the cashier that no one was answering the phone, she just shrugged. It was one of the strangest responses. The entire interaction, from the moment we walked into Bubby's, to the moment we walked out with our food, was awkward and strange.
I ordered a Blueberry Blitz smoothie ($3.50) and a chipotle glazed tofu burrito (with tofu, brown rice, beans, hot sauce, salsa, and scallions for $7). You have the option to get salad or chips on the side, and I chose a salad. My friend ordered chicken and bean hard tacos and a side of chips.
My smoothie was delicious and probably the best part of the meal. I would return to Bubby's for the smoothies but probably nothing else.
My burrito was extremely large for the price, but it was the blandest burrito I have ever had. The ingredients were fresh, but the only hot sauce/salsa I tasted was in the center of the burrito. The chunks of tofu were huge and would have been better cut up into smaller pieces. The side salad was a handful of chopped lettuce with jalapenos, no dressing – needless to say, this was NOT a side salad.
My friend enjoyed the tacos, but we were really disappointed by our side order of chips. They were a paper bag of Tostitos round corn chips, with neither salsa nor guacamole to accompany them.
Bubby's is cheap for the amount of food they serve, and the smoothies are wonderful, but the food is bland and boring. The service is awkward too.
