While Bubbakoo’s Burritos continues opening restaurants across the U.S., the fast-growing Mexican fusion chain is also looking to reach busy, on-the-go customers in other venues.

Leveraging the success of its recent launch within the food court at Soaring Eagle Casino in Michigan, the Point Pleasant-based brand aims to place additional locations in high-traffic areas for maximum accessibility and convenience.

Commenting on Bubbakoo’s plans, co-founder and co-CEO Paul Altero said, “It’s shaping up to be a big year for us … As we celebrate our 16th year in business, we’re not just looking back on our journey; we’re eagerly looking to our future.”

“Expanding our reach means more than just growth – it’s about sharing our passion for bold flavors and fostering community connections,” he said.

Bubbakoo’s has 100 locations and counting across 16 states. It is known for its made-to-order burritos, tacos, quesadillas and bowls — all of which are customizable with more than a dozen protein options.

Sweet 16

“As we reflect on the 16th anniversary of Bubakoo’s Burritos, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the support of our customers, the dedication of our team members and the opportunities that lie ahead,” stated co-founder and co-CEO Bill Hart.

“Since our inception in 2008, we’ve built an incredible fan following, tried and true operational systems, innovative marketing programs and best-in-class training that have helped us live up to our brand vision: provide guests with ‘wow’ service and quality to create a memorable dining experience,” he said. “We’re ecstatic to expand our presence and bring Bubbakoo’s Burritos to even more communities in the years ahead.

To celebrate its Sweet 16, Bubbakoo’s is giving rewards members a 50% discount on all desserts with the purchase of an entrée through May 18. The menu’s sweets include boardwalk cookies, chocolate chip cookies, Rice Krispie treats and “Love Chips,” which are flour tortillas dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with raspberry sauce.
