This chubby's is so disappointing! Go to the one in Raleigh, it is infinitely better. I got two beans and rice tacos and the beans were super dry and the cheese wasn't melted the way it was at the Raleigh one! It was very bland and didn't hit the spot. Also the staff was so grumpy compared to the friendly faces at the Raleigh chubby's. I ended up throwing away the leftovers. read more

I love Chubby's!!! The best salsa bar I've come across and great tacos to boot!! I have had many of their tacos and have yet to come across one I did not enjoy even their veggie offerings are flavorful. Service is fast and I've hardly ever had to wait long for my food after I've ordered. read more

OMG! I had such high hopes for this place from all of the other reviews. I still prefer Qdoba over this place. First off all I ordered the nachos and my friend ordered a burrito. She said her burrito lacked flavor and was mainly tortilla shell. My nachos had little cheese and lacked in flavor. No Bueno Chubby tacos! read more

Great food and $3 drafts on Sunday. What's not to love? More expensive than some other Mexican places, but the quality is significantly higher. A local favorite. read more

Went over to the city that must not be named because a friend lived over there. My taco was sooo delicious and there were so many good salsas. Plus, it was an authentic Mexican taco with cilantro and onions. Worth a trip over to Dukeville! read more

Found this place just browsing yelp. I am from Chicago originally and this is the closest in have come to tacos like back home that I have eaten in North Carolina.i ordered the seafood sampler grilled with refried beans and it did not disappoint. Really great flavors in those tacos, and the beans and rice were the standard fare and tasty. The tortilla chips are light and have some kind of tasty seasoning on them. They have a ton of salsas to choose from, most not for the weak when it comes to the heat. I would absolutely eat here again. read more

After shopping at The Streets at Southpoint, friends and I went looking for a cheap "hole in the wall" and lo and behold we found Chubbys tucked into a nearby shopping center. Seating was limited on a busy night and their booths are run down with tears all over but you forget all about it once your food arrives. For 8 bucks, I ordered the spicy taco's combo which came with beans, rice and a drink. The meat was spicy and tender. Nachos not only come with a salsa bar of 6+ choices but the nachos are also bottomless and I came back for several helpings. Great place for the price and convenience. To our delight, Chubby's also has several locations in Durham. Will always remember Chubby's for my mexican fix! read more

Best tortilla around! I've tried many options from their menu, and the basic burrito warms my soul (and my belly). They don't give you chips if you get your order to go, so I prefer to eat in if I have time so that I can make use of their yummy salsa bar! read more

My new standard for when I eat Tex Mex. Really tasty food here. The burrito with everything on it was just wonderful.

The food is good, and they have great salsas. One warning.. the staff at the register are consistently a problem. Always check your food before you leave, or you're liable to get a taco instead of a burrito or be missing some side item. I've never had this problem at the 9th st location but every time I come to the hope valley store there is an issue. read more

Really solid salsa bar and good prices but that's about it. Used to go to Bandito's when I was younger and was totally fine with its completely average tex-mex offerings, but the two times I've visited Chubbys have been equally disappointing. Borderline inedible meats, cheese dip that was the consistency of water, guac with too-hard avocados and the blandest beans and rice in town. Seriously if it wasn't for their salsa choices, Chubbys might be the worst taqueria I've ever eaten at read more

Spot on delicious Mexican food every time. The menu has grown some and the salsa bar is fresh and full of spicy choices. Will definitely keep coming back here! read more

Amazing food, usually good service but this time not so much. I called in my order and when I arrived the cashier was very unpleasant. Service comes first and it should always be A1 no matter what! read more

My husband and I stopped here for a quick lunch and we were super disappointed. We each ordered 3 tacos and a side of guacamole and a side of cheese dip. We were shocked when they said pour total was $30! After paying the high price, we decided the tacos must be amazing! Wrong. Our food came quickly but the chicken and shredded beef had little flavor and tasted like they just boiled some meat with salsa. The corn tortillas were not warmed at all. The sides of guacamole and cheese dip we ordered were tiny. The guacamole alone was $1.50 and the total amount was about a tablespoon. Even if we had paid only $15, we still wouldn't go back as the quality of food wasn't great, but the fact that we paid $30 for flavorless, soggy tacos means I'm writing this review to warn you. 2 stars instead of 1 as the restaurant itself was clean and the food was edible. read more

Large hearty portions but nothing that sets it apart from any other local Mexican themed restaurant. If you are hungry, this is an easy decision. If you want a unique dining experience, this isn't the place. read more

My once week dinner/lunch spot. All tacos are great ! I'm a huge fan of the salsa bar and the Orange Salsa is my favorite. Minus 1 star because it's so small and hard to get enough salsa without feeling pressure from the everyone else standing around waiting for you to finish. read more

Absolutely the best Tacos in the Triangle. Fresh, full of flavor and not overly pricey. This is one of my favorite lunch spots with the guys from my work group. read more

Having grown up in Phoenix, I am always on a quest for authentic Mexican food. Chubbys tacos were good, we had the spicy carne asada, but it was the salsa that stole the show. The arbol salsa and the Chubby's salsa were the perfect marriage of heat and flavor. Love hole in the wall, mom and pop places like this that prepare authentic food well. We will definitely return!! read more

Is there such a thing as high quality Mexican takeout? Do not think Taco Bell folks! Chubby's is the best Mexican food out there and it is quick and easy to order and pick up (they do have tables if you would like to sit and eat). I have never had anything there that wasn't a 10 out of 10. read more

A generous four stars. I'd sooner go to NanaTaco or La Vaquita, but Chubby's is also good. I recommend the chorizo tacos, and the carnitas or carne asade as close seconds. Tacos are a little too much corn tortilla and onion for me, but the quality is great, especially combined with a nice salsa bar. Rice and beans are better than average and make for a super filling meal with the complimentary chips at about ten bucks. Ambiance felt like a weird old ski lodge in a weird old shopping center, but at least the bathroom was clean. read more

Sooooo much food. Very good. Can't wait to come back. I got the #1 with three tacos. More then enough to fill you up.

Great nachos and quick service, will def. be back next time I'm in town

The food is always great. My only criticism is that over the past three years they have done nothing to keep it nice. Benches are falling apart. Borderline dirty. read more

I really love all of their tacos and the amount of different salsa is awesome. The only negative is their customer service. It really sucks.

I always get takeout from here, and their tacos are delicious. I've tried almost all of their filling options and I've NEVER had a bad order. Cheese dip is also delicious. I'll keep coming back as usual :) read more

It would be hard to find better tacos for the price. This is a top pick if you're eating on a budget and looking for something delicious.

Some of the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. Great deal for your money authentic Mexican and very low key yet exquisite menu!

Overall Experience: 2.5 Stars ------------------------------------- Food options: 2.5 Stars Food quality: 2.0 Stars Drink options: 2.0 Stars Drink quality: 2.0 Stars Ambiance: 2.0 Stars Service: 3.0 Stars Other (Salsa bar): 5.0 Stars ------------------------------------- Items sampled and impression: I tried a bunch of Tacos: pork, chicken, chicken fajita, beef, and some Chips & Salsa. Overall, the Tacos were very standard: two corn tortillas, scoop of meat, suggestion of lettuce & tomato. Very reminiscent of the Subway experience. The pork was probably the best of the lot, though it was nothing special. That being said, the Salsa bar was quite good. I'd probably go back just for Chips and Salsa. ------------------------------------- Highlight: Salsa bar. Lowlight: Not satisfying my craving for Tacos when it emerged. On Balance: I would feel better about this being a taco cart rather than a restaurant... though the tacos would probably have been better if that were the case. read more

Just like being in cali! Very good authentic taqueria

Finally got to Chubby's Tacos, and I am glad I did. The food was very flavorful, the salsa bar is great.

Not my fav! I think the chicken in the tacos should have been marinated and grilled a bit more.

Aww.. I love their tacos. Tasty food, neat ambience, friendly staff, good prices. This will be my favorite taco place from now on. :)

Chubby's Tacos is a good place to eat and has a fairly good selection. Some of the selections are medium spicy (Chicken Tinga Tacos), but the sides such as rice or beans help offset the fire. If you are looking for atmosphere, this isn't your restaurant. The indoor tables and bar stools facing out the window are adequate but not flashy. They are generous with the chips and the sides. read more

Chubby's- what have you done? The new location is great that it has more space and a bar, but it is completely devoid of personality. Part of the fun of the old Chubby's location was its funky vibe. Country music and Fox News on not one, but three tvs? The food is still great, but the ambiance is horrible. How about some Latin rock and a soccer game? C'mon- you're a Mexican restaurant. That's why we're here. Embrace it! read more

Great spot! Staff is nice, attentive and food comes out quick and freshly made. Great atmosphere both at the bar and restaurant side. Love the salsa bar- so many great tasting and different flavored options! Similar restaurant to Moes, but better! read more

As previous reviews have said, this place is a great to stop and get cheap and delicious Mexican food. Coming from Texas, I have been looking for my go-to Mexican food joint and I think I've found it! The menu has a good variety of options. They also sometimes have daily specials if you would like to try something a little different. I definitely left full and satisfied! read more

They have the best and biggest burritos in the Chapel Hill/ Durham area for a very reasonable price. I always get a deluxe chicken burrito with sour cream and guacamole, and it is always delicious. The location is somewhat sketchy and the seating is limited, but the orders are always made fast. Those who dislike chubby's are just mad they can't finish the whole burrito. read more

I haven't been to this location in a year or so and wanted to try it out again. Unfortunately I was treated very rudely and I will not be going back. I have a slight onion allergy so I try to avoid them. It's usually not much of a problem, even at Mexican restaurants. I ordered a steak fajita taco without onions, and was told they could not do that. The ingredients were already mixed and it had onions in it. So I asked for barbacoa taco and was told the same thing. I asked what I could order with no onions, and I was told among several things, the grilled tilapia taco. I ordered that. When it arrived, it was, of course, covered with onions. I took it back and and said I ordered it without onions. She didn't say a word to me, but took it from me and said something to the cook. When she brought it back out, she threw it on the table at me and walked away. Very rude! Not only that, it only had a small piece of tilapia with a little sauce and nothing else. I was very disappointed and I am surprised that so many people have rated this place so highly. It doesn't matter how good the food is, if the servers are this rude it's not worth it. read more

A nice little hole in the wall in a strip mall. The offerings are the usual selection for American-Mexican restaurants but it is cheap, tasty and they offer a variety of green and red salsas to spice it up. They have a few outdoor tables so it's a nice place to grab a bite on a lazy Spring or Summer afternoon. read more

Best fish tacos ever, grilled tilapia tacos!!!! All the girls that work there are super nice, their chips are awesome and the salsa bar is all you need. My favorite taco place, I go there at least once a week. read more
