Great deal, low prices! Unlimited chips and salsa, and there is a large variety of salsas! Good vegan options as well, and festive atmosphere. One of my favorite places to go.

Although they moved to this larger location a year or two ago, the menu is much the same: tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. It's not one of those menus with 100 different combo platters -- they keep it nice and simple. And quick! Food arrives very quickly after ordering, even during busy lunch times.
I often get the enchiladas or the taco salad. The chicken and beef is well seasoned and tasty and the lettuce and tomatoes are good quality. But the real star is the salsa bar! They have an array of freshly-made salsas, so there's something for everyone.
I have lunch here every few weeks, and the service and quality is consistent. I'm happy to have this in my neighborhood.

Chubby's doesn't disappoint, with delicious food -- their tacos are amazing! Plenty of sauce options for you to self serve. Margaritas are even better. Laid back atmosphere, mix of people unwinding after work & families. It also seems to be a good option if you're looking for a place to unwind solo, as there's usually good conversation at the bar. Seating includes bar option, tables and unpadded wooden booths. The service is top notch. Lots of easy parking and convenient location.

Staff it's friendly and they always engaged in conversation make you have a great time. The barkeep keeps you having fun. If you have any questions they're not scared to give you any answers or prices on different drinks they are very knowledgeable. Let's just say my brother and I will be returning for a Saint Patrick's Day. 👏👏👏👍👍👍😁😁

Large dining room and covered outdoor seating provide plenty of space for patrons to eat. There is a fully stocked bar with a friendly bartender and lots of TVs for viewing inside. The food is great and we love the tacos, and especially the salsa bar.

I love this place! The food is good as well as inexpensive. Nice eating areas inside as well as a extensive salsa bar for your chips! The nice thing to is that you can either order at the counter or sit at the bar and be served there with drinks. Parking is easy as well.

Chubby's is a Durham classic. The tortillas especially taste fresh and authentic. All the chip sauce/salsa options are always a hit. An easy choice if you unsure about dinner or want a place to bring company. Very reasonable prices for the quality.

I really want to thank the lady that took my order when I came in about 7:40pm. I'm not sure how she knew I was feeling down, but she really made my day. I won't say how but she knows and I am so very grateful! I'll definitely be back in for nachos and queso dip. She really made my day. This is the best place ever!

Super welcoming and friendly staff. If you're looking for a decent, and quick basic taco place, this is your spot. My only complaint is that my rice was dried and chewy.

A delicious medium between Americanized Mexican food and authentic Mexican.
The Chubby Changa is a delight. The tacos are good but, and to be fair I've only had them takeout so far, they are a bit dry.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. I ordered 2 vegan tofu tacos (trying to eat better) they gave me chips and my drink was a water. Grabbed my number took my chips and water, grabbed some salsa from the salsa bar, sat down and one bite from the chips I was hooked. Warm chips, toasted, seasoning on them and wow. Then my tofu tacos were dropped off. Wow, these were great, tasted great, and I almost ordered some more but had to go. This is a great place for some super tacos.

Great regional chain that feels very 'local'. The staff was friendly. They kept everything we could see clean and everyone was wearing masks. Their food was very good and they had a decent selection of vegetarian options including the vegetarian-friendly black beans and refried beans (no lard). They couldn't offer either of beans as a protein option on their famed chimichangas which was a bit of a disappointment however they said they were working on it. Their fresh salsa bar was a treasure trove and added to the meal experience. Would go again and recommend to anyone asking.

Chubby is not bad or good just middle of the road. The prices are jacked up like crazy. Expect to pay through the nose for adding any protein. The only good thing is the salsa bar but it does not make up for the high prices. You are much better off going to Moe's.

I ordered here go Grubhub the tacos where very good. My only dissatisfaction was that the fish tacos had like no fish on it one small piece and no cabbage. I also received a big bag of chips but no salsa to be found which I was looking forward too trying the salsa. They presentation was a F and portions although the tacos where good. Will try again

This place would be my new go to for Mexican food, but it's too far away! That's my only complaint. Everything I had was great, my nachos were soggy. So, I guess that's two complaints. 👌🏿

Got takeout so maybe the food would be better fresh. The queso, chips and salsa were great though. They were very behind with orders and even though I ordered ahead, I still waited at the restaurant for 25 minutes for my food. There are apparently some regulars in the area though, so I expect they were just having an off night.

This is a regular spot for me and my friends and family. The prices are so reasonable and everything is always delicious. I love the salsa bar as well. The best deal is the nachos for only $5, which are big enough to share.

So I’ll be honest, I have never been inside this place. I only eat it via Uber eats, but it is WONDERFUL. The tacos, chips and rice is always tasty. They are quick to make my food and pack it well. Love this place and plan to visit in person once the pandemic ends.

Had a great dinner before heading home was really good and got plenty of food. Got two tacos which had Hardy portions of meat definitely were very filling and they definitely did not short me on the free chips! Definitely a nice relax spot to get lunch or Dinner. Also had a nice small bar which is perfect for meeting a few friends for drinks. I love this place and come here often!

Generally, I love Chubby’s. They serve good food and they do it quickly. Though there’s a bar, I don’t smell alcohol and I appreciate that. The place is extremely kid-friendly, making it a good place for a fast dinner with a family. My main complaint would be that there isn’t enough vegetarian/vegan options, and some of the service can be prickly, but though that doesn’t bother me that much, it can bug others a lot.

We called to place a pickup order and were immediately put on hold. We had been on hold for so long we decided to drive to the restaurant to place our togo order in person (while still staying on hold). When my husband arrived to the cashier, we showed his phone being still on hold 15 minutes later. The two girls look at their phone, at each other and just shrugged - not even an apology was given.
The food is good but I am giving a three star review because of their average customer service.

Food is good, but I've never had the same order filled the same way twice. One tiny bag of chips, or two huge ones? Taco actually filled up, or two shreds of slaw on a fish crumb? Will we get the hard shell taco we ordered, or a soft shell? Entirely different order, or something in the ballpark of what we asked for? Believe me, I understand that working in food service sucks. I don't care if things aren't perfect. I just wish I knew what to expect.

We love Chubbys! They always have delicious food and excellent service. We recently used them to cater a work event for 25 people and they provided everything we needed down to the serving utensils and cutlery. The manager on site was there every step of the way to ensure our order was correct! Can’t wait to order more tacos.

This was our first visit to this location. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food tasted great. We only gave 4 stars because all the sides were warm, not hot though. Ordered the 3 Taco and
Seafood Samplers. Happy with both. The lemonade is a must! We will be going back.

I'm confused about this place. My husband ordered loaded nachos which looked great and were served on a nice plate, but this was my lettuce bowl. I wish I took a photo of how it first came out because it didn't even have the lettuce, just a few beans, a scoop of rice and the chicken. No tomatoes, cheese, sour cream or guacamole. I'll maybe be back, but I wouldn't order any of the bowls again.

Always at least 'good' and often 'very good' food with an above average atmosphere. I like pretty much everything here. The tacos are good, the torta, the burrito, etc... but the beans keep me coming back. I think they must make them from scratch (not from cans)... because they're just really good.

I was visiting Durham and had eaten here a year ago. The taco are delicious made to order and the salsa bar is a nice added touch with the varieties they offer. I always stop by here when I'm in the area. I got the chicken tinga tacos.
