Bubbakoo’s Burritos Opens In Estero
Bubbakoo’s Burritos opens in Estero tomorrow, in an area booming with growth.
About Bubbakoo’s
The first Bubbakoo’s Burritos opened in 2008 in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. It has since expanded to ten states, including Florida. Until now, the only Southwest Florida location has been in Naples, off of Airport Pulling Road. The newest spot is in Estero Town Commons off of Corkscrew Road. The area, close to FGCU, is alive with new businesses and dining spots.
One of the fun things to do here is customize your entrée. First, you pick an item such as taco, burrito bowl, etc. Next, choose your proteins, or veggies if you are plant based. Finally, it’s toppings time with choices such as beans, rice, salsa, cheese and such. This is a great option for anyone who is particular, or has dietary restrictions.
However, the signature dishes make things interesting. The creations listed here include tacos filled with General Tso’s crispy chicken, Nashville hot chicken burrito, curly fries covered in queso, Siracha pork tacos and nachos, and more.
Bubbakoo’s menu also includes hand-tossed wings with a dozen sauces. Once again looking out for the plant based crowd, cauliflower bites are the vegetarian option. I’ve been told you have to save room for dessert, that the Love Chips are amazing. They have Oreo Cookies in the middle.
According to the website, a third Bubbakoo’s is planned for Southwest Florida. It is slated for Cape Coral but no opening date has been released. In the meantime, it’s time to celebrate, the newest Bubbakoo’s Burritos opens in Estero tomorrow. Congratulations.
Three Southwest Florida Spots Made Yelp’s New List of Top 100 Florida Restaurants
Yelp is out with a new list. They rated the Top 100 Florida Restaurants of 2023 and Southwest Florida has 3 on the list. All in all, Fort Myers, Naples, and Fort Myers Beach made the list. It’s actually pretty incredible since the Fort Myers beach restaurant that made the list just recently reopened since Hurricane Ian. It’s a nice nod to them on the amazing progress they made in getting things up and running again.
The Yelp list ” is based on our community’s ratings and reviews.” So after someone eats at one of these establishments, they feel strongly enough about the experience to go online and express that. We’ll get to the Top 10 of Florida in a bit, let’s see where our local places stack up against the rest of the state in Yelp’s list of Top 100 Florida Restaurants.
At number 57 is Uncle Rico’s Pizza in Fort Myers. You can find them at 2960 Cleveland Avenue, just south of Lee Memorial. Yelp reviewers cannot stop raving about this place. More than one person referred to their pie as “perfect”. That’s what I want in a pizza place. Pepperoni knots, house special pizzas, and Jamaican Beef Patties are go-tos. According to their Insta, they reopen on Friday. Expect a crowd.
