Always a great place to be on $2 Taco Tuesday. I usually sit at the bar, but later in the evening it seems there isn't a dedicated person there. I sat there for a minute or two, and about the time I decided I should go to the line, someone showed up with an order of chips. Tacos came out pretty quickly after ordering, as usual. The house margarita seemed to have a different formula since they have gotten the premix device back in service. It was a little disappointing after the last few years experiences. Maybe it was just an off night. read more

This was my first time at Chubby's Tacos which was a fast, convenient, and reasonably priced restaurant for dinner. Chubby's has great specials throughout the week that make it an easy gathering place for drinks and tacos especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They have a wide selection of salsas at an open station which is a plus. The flavors aren't very strong and the portion was decent. My only feedback is that the chips didn't seem very fresh and the grilled chicken for the loaded nachos was not good. The service was casual and pleasant. Most of the restaurant is self service besides ordering and food being brought out. The restaurant is perfect for a casual sit down dinner or gathering with music playing, sports playing at the bar, and open space. Feels like a perfect college vibe. read more

I love finding taco restaurants with plenty of veggie options and Chubby's did not disappoint! The sweet potato/black bean taco was very yummy and filled to the brim! The tofu/veggies were well cooked, but I would have preferred a little more seasoning or sauce to go the extra mile. The beans and rice were good as always, but the salsa bar is what really stood out! My favorite was the chubby's salsa, so give that a try if you dine in. I'd recommend this spot for anyone looking for an affordable and filling Mexican sit down restaurant. It was quite full for a Thursday night, but we had no trouble finding a table. Tip: If you're vegan, the refried beans are vegetarian so make sure to ask for no cheese on the beans. read more

I was in town and in the mood for tacos. I found this place, the crew working was pleasant enough, food was out fast and pretty good. However, I thought paying $20 for 3 tacos was a bit high. But they were tasty, service was great and they filled me up. So, I would do it again read more

It was Taco Tuesday!!! $2 tacos - why not. It was the best $2 I've spent in a long time. Tacos were great. Sauces were even better. I tried them all. You get free chips with every order. In addition to the tacos, we got queso and black beans. All the tacos and food were good. Service was fast and friendly. Couldn't beat the price. Plenty of seating. Clean and cool ambiance. I will definitely return. Meet you there. read more

Whenever I've gotten Chubby's, it's always been a large order that we had picked up. My friend even had them cater her wedding. I absolutely love Chubby's and especially this Chubby's. The steak is always good, tortillas warm, queso cheesy, green salsa spicy. Everything in perfect harmony. Tried the churro donuts for the first time and wasn't the biggest fan but otherwise, I love this place. read more

Food came out extremely fast- we barely even sat down at our table before it was there! The prices are great- ~$10 for build your own burrito bowl with grilled chicken. Lots of seating options both in and outside. There is a nice bar if you are interested in a drink with your meal. Thirsty Thursday is $2 beers! They also did LOTS of to-go orders while I was there so that's another great option. Definitely will be coming back soon! read more

This is a quick and convenient counter order place with a bar inside. Ordered to go on a busy night and the food was ready quickly. Spicy beef tacos were actually a bit spicy, which I appreciated. They have a wide variety of salsas, too. Overall pretty good food. read more

I tried it one more time, sadly ..not anymore . My best friend put in an order for me to pick up . I told them the name and the girls said no order was placed . The order was sitting there the whole time . The salsa bar is never 100% when I go there always out of something . The manager came out and gave me a card for 2 tacos . When I got home it was all cold ...I don't know who owns this ,but if you don't change things quick ,you might as well sell it to someone who can . You can keep your free tacos ...Minus 10.

I've been to this location a few times and they have never let me down, today I tried the chubbychanga and it was absolutely perfect (the best chimichanga I've had as a matter of fact.) Food was ready in less than 5 minutes but it was hot, fresh, and very delicious. The lady taking orders was very kind and respectful. Overall 5 stars for good customer service, great food, and consistency. read more

Do we need tacos just like my mom used to make. It is rare that you get to eat tacos or burritos that have a real authentic flavor and the way that they treat the meat and the vegetables. This place does just that really laid-back atmosphere very reasonably priced and really really delicious. read more

Super AVERAGE Mexican food. It satisfies the craving but doesn't have all the flavor, spice, and joy of eating real Mexican food. For the "spicy" chicken Tinga and carnitas tacos: meat was cooked well and tasted ok, but I found both to be very bland. Quesadillas were better but still nothing exceptional. Good portion sizes for the price and they have some vegetarian options. Overall, there's better places out there for Mexican food. read more

the lady named myra was excellent she so nice and helpful will be back the drink was very good also the was delicious imma tell all my friends to come there to eat and drink and the games great environment read more

Hit and miss but maybe if you pay attention to online orders and improve how you approach customers when they ask for additional orders that are PAID for, it might work better. Fresh, hot queso shouldn't be lumpy as heck! I went outside to get my phone to show I paid, she was fixing the queso placed it in the bag handed it to me like here now go! read more

Chubby's tacos is a staple of our home. Our family of six enjoys taco Tuesday every week. 10/10 recommend - great food, great price, great location. We love Chubby's! read more

Very good and fast service from the kind and dedicated staff. Try the Mexican Pizza which is enough for two meals! The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean restroom. I plan to visit weekly! read more

The prices were reasonable, the food came out quick and was fresh in a large portion, and I liked the atmosphere. I like that they had a bar too. I would absolutely return. Plenty of parking in the shopping center. They have outdoor seating as well. Weekly specials are a plus also. read more

Although this place is relatively near our home, we had not been here since they relocated to a larger space in the same strip mall. We had a discount from a local dining club and stopped in for dinner. The first night we tried, it was packed so we came back another night when it was quieter. This is definitely a popular neighborhood spot for families. Although the food was filling and quickly served, I would say it was just average Mexican food. We got an enchilada and a taco salad. There was nothing that really wowed us. We might stop in again if we had a craving, but in our opinion there are better Mexican restaurants in Durham. read more

The food was not good and they got my order wrong, the food doesn't match up with their pricing. I do not recommend the food here.

Eating at the restaurant is awesome but 3 out of 4 times when I order delivery something is always wrong with my order.

I last visited years ago when it was smaller and did not have a bar. I'm pleased to report it is as good as ever with friendly vibes, friendlier service, and the friendliest staff. I highly recommend the Hope Valley location! read more

Food was watery and tasted a bit off. They had no salsa. Right when we walked in, we were told it was a 30 min wait.

Love Chubbys!!! Perfect spot for a quick lunch or gathering! I got the chicken tinga, shrimp and al pastor tacos! Super yummy.

Beware the $2 taco Tuesday. I went and confirmed the tacos were $2. You can't order them online, and there's nothing on the menu to specify, so imagine my surprise when my 5 $2 tacos were $20 total. Actually, fish and shrimp are both $3 tacos. Oh, and they upcharged me for everything. Cheese? 49 cents. Cilantro crema (that they forgot to actually put on the taco)? 39 cents. Lettuce? 29 cents. LETTUCE. Even though if you go on the app and order the tacos you can pick "no lettuce" or "no cheese," which suggests these are included. I'm not sure what IS included by default; maybe for $2 you just get a dab of beef and a tortilla. but the fact that it's a surprise when you actually want your tacos to taste like something and your $2 taco is now $5. . . I'll probably keep going because their entrees are a good deal without meat ($5 taco salad, burrito, etc, as long as you don't need a protein in it) but I will never be back for taco Tuesday. Also the bartenders need to be educated about the pricing and/or tell customers. If someone says "$2 tacos today, correct?" you should tell them "oh but those shrimp tacos are $3" and "we are going to charge you 29 cents per taco for what will add up to one ounce of lettuce over all 5 of your tacos." read more

Not sure what has changed - we used to like this place. We've given it 3 "last chances" and no more. Quality is bad, food has been cold, shrimp overcooked, and burritos aren't even wrapped well. They weren't even making burritos the last time. read more

While we waited for my Aunt's car to get an oil change, we came to this cute little taco shop in the Foodlion shopping center. Since no-one was in there besides us, we got our food fast. Their warm chips, and large selection of salsas was tasty. I ordered the two chicken taco happy hour special. One of my tacos was dry, and lacked flavor (they might have forgotten to season it). However my second taco was juicy, but still lacked flavor. My husband enjoyed his huge, juicy char-chicken burrito so much, he ate the entire thing. The staff is very polite, and welcoming, which isn't a surprise because the energy in here was calm, relaxing, had a nice, soft reggaeton vibe. read more

The food had no seasoning and was as basic as it gets. Absolutely tasteless!!! So overpriced it's absurd. Don't understand what the attraction is, but I would never stop here again. I got a fajita platter and it was terrible. read more

Great tacos, great vibe and McKenna was so helpful! Great deal for Taco Tuesday! Great location off of 54!

Been looking for a good taco/burrito joint. Reminds me of a taco shop in Abilene, which I loved. Got two tacos, but should have gotten 3 since they are small. Would have liked it if they had more burrito options, but I see they concentrate on tacos. Will be back again, but still looking for my taco/burrito shop. read more

I only ordered once via DoorDash and it wasn't good at all. I ordered two steak and two shrimp soft tacos with the usual condiments, lettuce, cheese, sour cream etc. The steak was overcooked and really dry, the cilantro, which I didn't want, tasted like grass clippings, no cheese, nothing. The tortillas were also not warmed up at any point. The shrimp was stringy and same issue with the tortillas. read more

Meh... came in for a quick lunch and marg. the Chubbychongha was pretty solid, no option for a "skinny" margarita, or at least the woman behind the bar wasn't familiar with what one was. The chips come with access to the salsa bar, which was nice... I grabbed one and rolled with it. My mouth was on fire, great salsa... but took a while before I could get my server/bartender's attention to get a water to cool the inferno. Chubbychonga was good, rice was dry and black beans... well, they were blackbeans. Location is close to home, and it was easy to get in and out, I'll probably be back to try some other stuff. read more

Small portions of nice (not fantastic) Mexican food. The "spicy queso" isn't spicy, and the chips are covered in some tasteless seasoning. The workers are nice, but still managed to put giant onions in my dish after I quested "please remove any toppings with onions". The salsa bar was understocked and pretty bland anyways. It's fine, nothing special. read more

Great place and food was very good, wide range of salsas but if you going to charge almost $5 for a taco at least double the tortillas to keep the tacos from falling apart, great service and great atmosphere read more

Fajita and chimichanga with a huge bag of chips and best guacamole. Pick up easy and price was great. Black beans with my steak Fajita. Steak was tender and cut up nicely. Easy to assemble and tasty onions and green pepper! Just what we needed for our weekly "support" our local restaurant meal! The tp was a nice surprise! read more

Great customer service and good food that comes out pretty quickly. There are also a bunch of sauces/salsas to choose from as well

Came with a party of 3 on a Sunday late evening dinner. There was plenty of parking in the strip mall and there were a lot of empty tables inside. You line up to order at the counter and they bring the food to you. I ordered 1 chorizo taco, 1 spicy tinga chicken and 1 grilled fish and made it a meal with black beans and Spanish rice and chips. Ambiance: 3.5/5 It wasn't the nicest ambiance but it was decent. You can probably go in a small party but it isn't the most conducive for bigger sized parties (more than 6). Food: 4/5 The chips were crispy with a nice seasoning on it. I loved the salsa options. The food itself was a lot and I ended up having leftovers. The chorizo was ok but the grilled fish was my favorite. The spicy tinga chicken was also flavorful. Price: 4.5/5 The price was moderate. read more

I've been eating at Chubby's since they opened many years ago. Before it was purchased, from the original owners, Chubby's was the best place in town - hand made tortillas and they would grill the carne asada and stew meats in house. Over the years it has gone down hill, cheaper tortillas and more recently, they switched to mushy meat that clearly arrives in a bag and is reheated bringing it essentially to Taco Bell quality. The service is still great but sad to see you go Chubby's as it looks like we are done. read more

As a hispanic person, these are the most whitest tacos ever lmao. No flavor, al pastor tacos were literally the ones you get from the school cafeteria. If you like this , probably means you're white asf lmao. Not authentic. read more
