Bubbakoo’s Burritos Expands in Essex County with Opening On Rutgers Newark Campus

Drawing foot traffic from the bustling Rutgers University-Newark campus, the new restaurant is strategically located at 136 Washington Street, making it ideally positioned to serve students, faculty, and the surrounding community. The location will be operated by Dhruval Patel, a seasoned multi-unit entrepreneur with extensive experience in the restaurant industry. In addition to this new venture, Patel owns and operates Bubbakoo’s locations in West Orange and Saddle Brook, NJ.

“I’m incredibly excited to bring Bubbakoo’s Burritos to the heart of Newark,” said Patel. “With this strategic location on the Rutgers Newark campus, we have a unique opportunity to serve a diverse mix of students, faculty, and local residents alike. We look forward to introducing the community to Bubbakoo’s bold flavors, customizable options, and the welcoming atmosphere.”

Bubbakoo’s Burritos has become a fan-favorite for its unique menu, customer service and welcoming dining environment. The new Bubbakoo’s Burritos offers the classic menu items the brand is known for, such as the recently renamed Papi Hibachi (hibachi style steak and shrimp) burrito, Nashville burrito, Burritodilla, customizable entrees and more. Each menu item is made with fresh, tasty ingredients that will please any palette.

“The opening of our Newark location is a testament to our dedication to serving vibrant communities like those surrounding the Rutgers Newark campus,” said Bill Hart, co-founder of Bubbakoo’s Burritos. “Over the years, we’ve built a great relationship with the university and its community, and this new location is a natural extension of that connection. With a prime spot near campus and the expertise of Dhruval at the helm, we’re confident this restaurant will become a go-to destination for bold flavors and a welcoming atmosphere.”
