A second location of the popular national chain Bubbakoo\u2019s Burritos<\/a> is coming to the Lehigh Valley.<\/a><\/p>\n

Signs recently went up stating, \u201cComing Soon\u201d for the fast-casual Mexican-fusion eatery at the Bethlehem Square shopping center, 3926 Nazareth Pike in Bethlehem Township.<\/a> It\u2019s moving into space previously occupied by Subway.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear specifically when the new eatery plans to open. Ben Grannick, Bubbakoo\u2019s Burritos\u2019 director of marketing, couldn\u2019t immediately be reached for details Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The Point Pleasant, New Jersey-based chain has roughly 150 locations nationally in 15 states. There are 10 in Pennsylvania and about 50 in New Jersey. <\/p>\n

The Bethlehem Township location will become the second in the region after Bubbakoo\u2019s opened last summer at the Creekside Marketplace, <\/a>1882 Leithsville Road in Lower Saucon Township. That site moved into the former Unrivaled Fitness + Wellness space.<\/p>\n

Bubbakoo\u2019s is known for its build-your-own entrees. Think nachos, burritos, burrito bowls, quesadillas, hard and soft shell tacos and taco salads.<\/p>\n

Guests start with a protein choice, such as chicken (crispy, grilled or shredded); hibachi steak or shrimp; ground beef; pork; barbacoa; or fried cauliflower, as a base. <\/p>\n

Next, the creation is paired up with a rice and\/or beans choice, followed by standard Mexican-inspired toppings.<\/p>\n

Over a dozen choices are called \u201cKiller Creations.\u201d These items are handcrafted for patrons. Selections include the \u201cRed Pepper Aioli Burrito,\u201d with choice of protein; white rice; red pepper garlic aioli; pico de gallo; corn salsa; and cheese; as well as the Buffalo Ranch Crispy Chicken Quesadilla, with crispy chicken tossed in buffalo and ranch sauces; and the Pineapple Express Burrito, with crispy chicken tossed in a General Tso sauce; choice of rice; and pineapple salsa.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the menu includes an assortment of wings in multiple flavors; curly and loaded fries<\/a> and various other choices.<\/p>\n

Wallet-friendly selections, which are typically ordered as online only, can include two items for $20. Other affordable items are under $8, according to the online menu.<\/a><\/p>\n

The chain was founded in 2008<\/a> along the Jersey Shore by Paul Altero and Bill Hart. It began franchising by 2016 with a large concentration along the East Coast and spanning into the Midwest, according to Nation\u2019s Restaurant News.<\/a><\/p>\n

Grannick previously told lehighvalleylive.com there are more plans to open a handful more New Jersey restaurants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A second location of the popular national chain Bubbakoo\u2019s Burritos is coming to the Lehigh Valley.
