I give it a 4 star. Quirky decor, as mentioned in other reviews, helped push the rating a bit. Always fast, even when there is a line. Always friendly. There are tons of options to customize your food. I do love the selection. I will say that, as a vegetarian, the vegetables on the hot bar taste like they were from the frozen section. They don't taste like fresh grilled veggies. But hey, im happy to have an option and will be happy to return. read more

Not fresh or especially tasty. It's Subway for tacos and burritos. The service is inattentive and staff never fail to feign confusion on a simple taco order burrito. read more

Chubbies is a fun place to go with friends, especially on Mondays ($9 burritos) or Tuesday ($2 tacos). The birria and al pastor tacos are the best options, but the tortillas can vary in quality. Service is quick, since you ask for fillings in your taco as you go along the line. Even if there is a long line, the workers move fast. There is a decent amount of seating area, making it a nice place for a casual dinner. read more

Chubbies Diner - Chorizo, chicken, and birria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

We ordered: POZOLE- this was super salty. Usually this comes with side of tortilla.. didn't offer me anything until I asked and they gave me chips. ASADA TACOS- asada was just ok. asked us if we wanted topping. So we picked onions and cheese. They charged us for cheese.. $1.50 extra for like 2 TB of cheese over the 3 tacos. Thought that was shady. Did not disclose it was extra. Chips were good but won't be coming back. read more

The food was decent, service was very friendly and the establishment was extremely clean. Fair prices and happy customers. For me though it was a good first time but nothing blew my mind. It was a simple fix for hunger. Wouldn't be my first choice to go to but if friends or family wanted to I wouldn't oppose. read more

This place reminds me of the burrito joints that I frequented in Texas. Mexican food in a quirky space. I ordered the pozole which was OK. The nachos that my wife had were better. I think this place gets pretty busy at night after the bars kick everyone out. The posted hours are until "Close". read more

Really nice spot in the downtown area for a good lunch or dinner. I had a bowl but they also have build your own tacos, burritos etc . Everything was great and warm and served by friendly staff. The price was also reasonable for a downtown trendy area. Don't hesitate to eat here. read more

Worst Tamale ever! No flavor and plain tasting white meat within,,nothing else. Three bites in and I had to throw it in the trash. How does this place stay in business. read more

I had just read a raving review of this place and told my partner that we really needed to go ! So when I got off work Sunday, indeed we did. It was around 7pm, the entire restaurant was empty. We went up to the counter and waited several minutes before the workers quit chatting to greet us. The set up was very similar to chipotle - which I wasn't expecting all. I ordered a burrito with white rice, pinto beans, chicken, queso, onion, and pico. The burrito was HUGE - I honestly couldn't wait to dig in. However, the flavors were underwhelming. My rice wasn't cooked thoroughly. My chicken was dry. The queso was suuuper good (although I was unaware it costed extra). I would probably go back just for some queso and nachos. I also ordered an horchata - I heard theirs was pretty good and I am a fiend for horchata. It was honestly subpar. The aesthetic of the place was super pleasing, though ! It's like 50's diner meets 80's arcade meets little Mexican restaurant. In the front there were also hanging chairs with some cloud decor - I fell in love with them immediately ! Maybe just a bad night, but I don't think I would come back. read more

We had a solid dinner here. It's essentially an independent version of a Chipotle or Qdoba, and I say that as a compliment. There were multiple options of what you could get and how you could get it. It was nice that picky eaters could limit what is added and others could load up on all the things. It was cool that they featured al pastor with pineapple and chorizo with potatoes. Those are combinations that you don't find most places. The decor is cute and the restaurant was clean. The restrooms are funny, with lots of posters or people and animals kissing, at least in the ladies room. read more

While I have not visited the actual restaurant, I have visited the taco truck they have had parked off 17th St recently (several times). It is always good, fresh and very satisfying. From the steak burrito, to the chicken nachos, to the meat quesadilla with Birria meat - everything is delicious. read more

Chubbies Burrito 8.8/10 (rice, pinto beans, chicken, steak, chorizo, onion, queso, salsa, sour cream) like WOAH didnt see this coming. First off it was literally the size and weight of a newborn baby. Secondly it tasted delicious, didn't skimp on meat or queso which I was nervous about (I think she didn't do the chorizo or sour cream but didn't care). Would most definitely get this shin. Queso 6/10 would not get again. Overpriced for portion size. Really thick. read more

The chubbie's burrito gives you so much food and great bang for your buck. The workers can be rude sometimes but I don't care cause the food is so good. Best burritos in Bloomington in my opinion. read more

Having moved to Bloomington from the coast of California, I have been searching for a decent "California-style" burrito for six years. Something NOT drenched in queso. Chubbies ended my search! I went to pick up lunch today for the first time. I ordered a carne asada burrito with pinto beans, rice, shredded cheese, and pico de gallo. It was GREAT. It made me so happy. The set up at Chubbies is exactly like the best burrito places on the west coast, you can see all the ingredients and tell them exactly what you want. My partner had a veggie burrito and loved it. Yes, I miss Bloomington Sandwich, who used to occupy that space, but Chubbies is terrific. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

If you want authentic, to go, Hispanic food, this is it! Similar style to pancheros or chipotle, but this is local and you can taste that in the food! Also, the atmosphere is so fun! They have art all over the walls that reminds me of a diner but in space. It is such an experience. My husband and I love eating here whenever we can! Plenty of seating, and quick service! read more

This review will only be about the food and appearance of this place. I ordered three flour tacos with steak and salsa on top. I did not know what to expect when eating this meal. I was bedazzled. The food is good and I did not get much. If their tacos were this good with just two things on it- I can only imagine how good the rest of their menu is. I entered the restaurant, but I did not sit down. The ambience of the place is nice. They have these seat pods that hang from the ceiling that you can sit on. Their restaurant is small but it seems like a good place to sit down with friends and eat. All in all. I would recommend this place if you were to get Mexican food. Tacos in particular since I have not tried the rest of their menu so take a bit of what I say with a grain of salt. read more

Chubbies Diner - 3 Steak tacos with salsa on top. - Mexican Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

It's a bright retro designed diner, with colorful wall art. The food is simply wonderful, we ordered the pozole and a tamale. The tamale masa was to die for, which can make or break a tamale. Splendid! The pozole was great, flavorful and rich. We dined in, many of the regulars and students practiced their Spanish with the staff, I found it endearing and sweet. read more

A great place for a quick and cheap bite on a night out. The staff was super friendly and food is made right in front of you!

Like a slightly more upscale Chipotle! Despite the name, they sell burritos, quesadillas, tamales, tortas, and esquites. It has a quirky 50's diner theme, with a wall of Madonna and Britney kissing! read more

Not your cookie cutter Mexican food like Chipotle, portion sizes are large and the food is good. I'll warn you it's easy to over order. This last time I had the Chubby burrito and I only ate half before I was stuffed. The burrito had a choice of Mexican rice or plain, black beans or pinto, and the had steak, chicken and chorizo followed with onions, queso, and sour cream. They also have quesadillas, nachos, and burrito bowls read more

Had a terrific first visit here and greatly look forward to a return.

Great food! Love their queso. It's better than Chipotle's queso. Their burritos are HUMONGOUS.

Never disappoints. The flavor is different from qdoba or chipotle...but well worth it. I have braces so that's the only reason why I didn't get the burritos. I will say I prefer their pork than their chicken. Can't go wrong with either or though. The staff seem to know not allot of English, mostly Spanish...but very nice when I was there. Thank you again!! read more

"Best burritos ever!" -my kids They are really picky eaters too so it means alot! Friendly staff, authentic ingredients and good portions and price. So happy so see local businesses thriving and keep downtown from being overrun but corporate places like Chipotle. read more

This is kind of like a Chipotle but with more authentic ingredients. My husband said he actually thought their burrito was BETTER than Chipotle which is saying a lot because he loves Chipotle. I got the pozole and it was so good!! The hominy...mmm tasty. It was very filling too. We also both got horchata and it was good and refreshing. Next time I want to try the esquites. read more

When to Chubbies after closing the Vid. It's nice to have a late night burrito option. The staff was friendly if blurry. I ordered a steak burrito which probably saved my life, delicious but messy as I woke up the next morning with beans in my bed. read more

Don't waste your time go to chipotle. You will have a much better experience in terms of service and food. Chubbies is a more expensive lower quality ripoff of chipotle. read more

Amazing burritos! truly the best place to get mexican food in Bloomington and most likely all of the United States.

Cute little place on kirkwood and usually never too busy unlike other spots in the area! Queso was amazing!

loved Chubbies!! The burritos were FAT & so tasty. There was many options for unlimited toppings & many protein options. I will say it was a little pricey, but not too much more than chipotle/qdoba. A plus that it is local and much more authentic. Really enjoyed eating inside, because the interior was a cool vibe. I hope this place takes off. It's a plus that they stay open until 3 am on the weekend, definitely will be a hot spot for college kids. A must try!! read more

Fun little burrito spot in downtown Bloomington. Clean. Good food. Well priced. Staff friendly

REALLY good burritos and some good chips and queso (not too spicy but enough too make it more then just cheesy flavors)

Ordered a steak torta drunk asf at 3 am after leaving the bar. Absolute worst torta I've ever had in my entire life. Do not go here this place is complete shit read more

Comparable to Chipotle or Qdoba however the food tends to be much better and better service. Hard to go wrong when ordering here.
