Vegans and vegetarians know how tough it can be to find some good, authentic Mexican food on-the-go. However, if you’re in the Jersey City area, you’re in luck. The most underrated Mexican spot in Jersey City may just be Bubby’s Burritos, located at 440 Jersey Avenue {they also have a food truck that you can find on the waterfront in downtown Jersey City as well, FYI}. Originally from Toluca, Mexico, Elias Irineo and Reyna Villarreal immigrated to Jersey City and opened Bubby’s Burritos in 2013. This local spot has plenty of vegan + vegetarian items on the menu and is totally worth checking out — see what we love about it:
Vegan Options
First, let’s talk about their GI-normous burritos. Made with the freshest ingredients by the friendliest staff, you can get yourself a burrito the size of your head for under $10 {and can easily make two meals out of}.
Vegan burritos include:
Vegan Burrito {brown rice, beans, guacamole, salsa in a whole wheat tortilla}
Vegan Chili Burrito {brown rice, chili in a whole wheat tortilla}
Vegan with Veggies Burrito {brown rice, veggies, beans, guacamole, and salsa in a whole wheat tortilla}
All burritos come with a choice of black beans or refried beans and choice of chips or a salad.
