I have had the opportunity to experience Chubby’s Tacos from multiple perspectives—not only as a customer enjoying their food, but also through my professional work as a plumber providing services at several of their locations. Based on what I’ve observed, this establishment is operated with a high level of professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to cleanliness both in the front of house and behind the scenes.
The food is consistently excellent. I have sampled a variety of dishes, all of which were fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor.
I have interacted with Jeremy on numerous occasions. He is consistently courteous, focused, and clearly dedicated to maintaining high standards. Although he is often busy managing day-to-day operations, he takes the time to engage meaningfully when the opportunity allows.
The staff is hardworking, respectful, and well-organized. The kitchen facilities are exceptionally clean—among the best I have seen in the many commercial environments I visit in my line of work.
My company is recognized for delivering high-quality plumbing services across Wake County, and we are not among the least expensive. The fact that Chubby’s continues to work with us reflects their strong commitment to quality and professionalism—values that are clearly evident in the experience they provide to their customers.
I highly recommend Chubby’s Tacos to anyone seeking excellent food, attentive service, and a well-run establishment.

Jennifer at Chubbies Tacos is truly a gem! Despite changes in management over the years, she's remained a constant, dedicated force behind the scenes and out front. Her passion for her work is inspiring, and her commitment to ensuring every customer leaves satisfied is evident in the way she frequently checks in not only as a customer myself but those around her.
As a bonus, I've heard she's an amazing mom outside of work - the kind of person who pours her heart into everything she does. Given her years of hard work and loyalty, Jennifer absolutely deserves praise and a raise. Let's hope her dedication doesn't go unnoticed for much longer!
Aside from her amazing service, the food is pretty good and their salsa bar has many selections which I’m sure everyone can partake in. My favorite is the green guac salsa. It’s creamy, savory, and mild.

The food is great and reasonably priced. You don't have to wait long for your food. The last time I was there, my son thought he accidentally threw his airpods in the trash. The cashier was kind enough to help us search in the trash for the pods. I truly appreciate her going above and beyond to help us. Chubby Tacos will continue to have my family as customers.

AVOID THE BAR ON TUESDAYS (maybe other days as well).
Tried to go to the bar; bartender, on Taco Tuesday, was slow and non-attentive (we stood at one end for a couple of minutes and she never even looked at that end of the bar) and not pleasant to us or other guests who were there, so I can’t say how the food was this time - because we didn’t have time to order it and didn’t really want to interact with her even if we could. Unfortunately, my friend who was with me had been fasting all day; we thought the bar might be faster, but we saw the people just behind him ordering at the register, so we know it’s slower.
It’s ok if we are not, in fact, supposed to order at the bar or if there’s a new bartender who’s easily overwhelmed; been there, done that. I’d just strongly recommend putting up signs to tell people to order in the line and not at the bar in that case; sure, it’s fewer tips for the bartender (not that she’ll get ours anyway tonight), but it’ll help customers have a better experience.

Taco Tuesday! Is a must. Tacos are normally $4ish and on Taco Tuesday they are all you can eat for $2 each.
So, order your tacos, pick the meat (everything except seafood on taco Tuesday) and enjoy your chips and salsa with your meal. Make your way to the salsa bar before you sit down. They will bring your food out pretty quickly. This time I had to have the chicken nachos.....they were so good.
Definitely a spot we will visit again.

Love that they offer vegan options. Chips and salsa bar are still included. If you go often collect the points they pay off. One of our go to places for a quick less expensive meal.

Chubby's Tacos is one of the first NC food gems I found after moving here over a decade ago. It's been one of the places I missed most after moving to another (nearby) city. I was thrilled to stumble on their Durham location while running errands. It's every bit as good as I remember! Definitely worth a visit, and I know we'll be making this a regular stop now.

Today was my first time coming into chubby tacos 10/10 everything was great ! I will be coming back again tonight. I have found my new favorite taco spot. Also the strawberry margarita was so so good. Prices are wonderful I did not expect the prices to be what it was when I first walked in. So worth it I must say. If you haven’t please please check this place out !

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!

Please change the salsas back to the way they used to be, my family and I have been eating here for years and always enjoyed the salsa. Recently they have changed all the salsas they are not nearly as good as they used to be. Hopefully they can bring back to good stuff!

I love chubby's tacos, I have been eating here my whole life, even before moving to the new location. One of my favorite parts of chubbys is the salsa bar, although recently all the salsas have changed and are now not nearly as good as they used to be! I am writing this in hopes that they will consider going back to the salsas when they were delicious.

EDIT (9/6/24): the grievance I raised in the original version of this review has been dealt with swiftly and soundly, and I could not be more satisfied with how it was handled, so I have updated my rating accordingly. Thank you to the owner Rudy for taking my feedback seriously and seeing to it that the issue was rectified, and thank you, as always, to the stellar staff of Chubby’s for consistently going above and beyond! We are very happy to have our Friday night spot back. 😊 Go eat at Chubby’s!!!
