Oh Bubbakoo's. My boyfriend and I went last night to give them one last chance. We have been let down for the last time which sucks because when I was in high school, this was the best spot around. Back then, they only had 5 locations. The food use to be amazing and flavorful with huge portions. But now, I feel like they have lowered their quality because of their expansion and growth. To a certain extent, I understand that when you grow and expand as a company there are things that have to change, but the food quality should not be one of those things. The place is always clean and neat and the staff is nice and friendly. But if one of the staff member's friends comes in while you're there, prepare to be treated poorly. There have been many times that I have gone in there and was ignored and not paid attention to because of a staff member's friend coming in.
As far as the food goes, it is less than stellar. Back in the day, the Chiwawa was the best. Big rice ball, topped with nacho cheese, meat, and all of the toppings you want. Now, it seems as though they have gotten smaller and are left sitting out for a while so they get hard and cold. Last night, I ordered the chiwawa and was disappointed. The to go containers are tiny. The rice ball was hard and cold. The nacho cheese was warm which helped. The beans were cold and bland. I got beef and shrimp, which were okay. The beef was room temperature but had flavor and the shrimp were good but only because they cook them to order. The mild salsa is okay too. The corn salsa is tasty, but I asked for extra and only got about 10 kernels. Their guac is pretty good too. Topped it off with sour cream, cheese and lettuce which you cant mess up but they are super skimpy on the cheese.
The staff is friendly, but you can tell that they are being fake. They are more concerned with having conversations with each other rather than listening to the customer. The customer should not have to repeat their order 5 times to the employee.
The prices are fair, but in my opinion it is too expensive for the quality. They have really gone down hill over the past few years and I honestly think it is because they are becoming a bigger company and are falling into the "lousy chain Tex-Mex place". I use to be such a loyal customer going at lease 3 times a month. Now, I will not go here again.
