New burrito spot eyeing Brockton location. When? Where?
Brockton might (might!) be getting a brand-new burrito joint. Emphasis on might. Bubbakoo's Burritos has officially enquired about permitting information to build out the burrito chain's first-ever location in Massachusetts, according to Isaiah Thelwell, the city's planning and economic development administrator. If everything goes as planned, the store would be located at 735 Belmont St. in Brockton . That said, the company hasn't even begun the permitting process, let alone the necessary construction, so any potential ribbon-cutting wouldn't happen for quite some time. Burrito overload: New Brockton Chipotle one step closer to reality. When will it open? What is Bubbakoo's Burritos? Were this to pan out, Brockton would receive a counter-service option for Southwestern cuisine. Similar to a Chipotle or a Qdoba, Bubbakoo's Burritos offers burritos (duh), burrito bowls and salads. But Bubbakoo's menu isn't limited to boilerplate Tex-Mex staples. There's a cadre of chaotic options as well, like a loaded crunch burrito with tater tots, another burrito with pineapple salsa and even a mango habanero taco salad — served in a tostada shell, nonetheless. Founded in New Jersey, Bubbakoo's already has a handful of New England locations — though a location in Brockton would be its first in Massachusetts.

A second Liberty Tavern opens on the South Shore. What to know
South Shore diners may have shed a tear with the closure at the end of 2025 of Uno Mas , the taco and tequila bar that brought more Tex-Mex options to Weymouth Landing. The opening of Liberty at the Landing Tavern and Restaurant in the same spot might be consoling. The restaurant touts itself as a "Classic American Tavern with a modern twist and city vibes." Led by culinary director Andrea Rechtiene, Liberty at the Landing's menu has an eclectic array of options, from pizza to fish and chips, and French onion soup to pulled pork baked macaroni and cheese. The restaurant at 35 Commercial St. in Braintree is owned by Nick Palermo, Evan Harrington and Michael Johnson. The trio also opened Liberty Tavern , located at 1647 Hancock St. in Quincy, in July 2020. They had opened Uno Mas in the fall of 2024. Prices at the new Braintree restaurant range from $14-$18 for appetizers, which include meatballs and toasted raviolis, and $22-$31 for entrees. Pizzas range from $13-$17, and sandwiches are in the $17-$19 range. A limited, "late night" menu is offered on Fridays and Saturdays from 10-11 p.m. Liberty at the Landing features several specialty cocktails at
