Stopped in on a rainy Thursday afternoon. It was empty, so we sat instantly. We ordered nachos with buffalo chicken and guacamole, elote dip, and margaritas to start. All were outrageously good. The table ordered various tacos, a taco salad, and a chicken Crunchwrap. All again were amazing. Best among the taco selections were coconut shrimp and pork belly tacos. We got churros to go as well, and they also were very tasty. Cool taco place with a good vibe, good service, and good food. read more

Came to watch a JAGS game lol but all they had was the PATS on but the girls tried to to change the channel for me to watch on one of the tvs .so sweet of them. The. Birria taco is so good and the pork belly option. service was nice .The ambiance definitely sports bar like just how I like it read more

An overall great experience. Food was good and the place looked great! Parking can be difficult here and i've had better birria but still an overall great experience! read more

Pretty huge indoors with limited but cute outdoor booths. Our waiter was super attentive and quick. I got the strawberry marg which was very strong and my boyfriend got the down to fiesta which he gave good reviews to. Our guacamole app was a very generous amount and their chips are incredible... crispy and spiced. We both got the crunch wrap for dinner and it was so filling and so delicious- I do wish the dipping sauce was queso or guacamole instead of what I think was ranch. But this place is wonderful and I would definitely be back for another crunch wrap!! read more

Pretty unauthentic Mexican food. Honestly, they should be embarrassed calling this a taco bar. Maybe your grandma from Iowa's taco bar, but not by most people's standards. The tortillas were really awful, and I'm willing to bet money they bought the Mission corn tortillas from Stop and Shop for service. Sad sad excuse for a tortilla. We got carry out so I can't speak to the drinks or the general vibe, but it seemed extremely loud in there. I can't imagine we would order from here again when you can order from El Barrio or Dora's Taqueria in Dorchester instead. read more

Here I go again!! I just move to the area and it's been reeeeaal hard to find some GOOD food. I was craving nachos and clicked here, seen the pics, which looked great, came right over. I got the nachos and AMAZING! A lot of options you get and they have ground beef! Seasoned great, chips great altogether GREAT CHOICE! I sat at the bar and she was amazing and patient with me and my thousands of questions! The music was great, I went when it was crowded. But spacey and very warm, calm setting. Definitely coming back and trying more things on the menu! HIGHLY SUGGEST read more

Options were slim for those who don't eat red meat. The wait for our waitress was very long. And the drinks were midiocre. The ambiance is very nice, and the hostess and waitress was kind given and professional. read more

Bueno!! The food here surprised me and was better than I expected it to be... My friend and I came in for dinner during the week. The place was packed. We started with the queso dip which was fabulous; rich & creamy with thin but sturdy chips that tasted homemade. For my entree, I ordered 3 tacos: birria, drunken fish and cauliflower. The fish taco had a delicious sauce on it, the birria taco was fried and came with a delicious dipping sauce on the side and the cauliflower was so flavorful that I would have never guessed it was cauliflower. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're a taco fan! read more

Chubbs is a lively spot for catching a bite with friends or watching the game. It's a bar-like, casual atmosphere with lots of TVs and a decent sized menu of drinks and Mexican food. We ordered the guacamole, grilled wings, and a burrito to share. The guac was well seasoned and decent portioned. The grilled wings were okay - my wife insisted on getting them but I wouldn't say they were anything special. The burrito was tasty and large - it was toasted on the outside too which added a nice texture. The chips were also great and seemed freshly made in house. You're definitely not getting authentic Mexican food here but it's a step up from your typical bar food. I went with the non-alcohol free spirit as my drink. Refreshing but a bit too sweet for me. My wife enjoyed her margarita though. Not much street parking available so you may need to circle a few times or park a little further out. Fun spot if you're looking for a lively night out or day drinking. read more

Went on a Tuesday night with a reservation. It was not packed. Large space with multiple TVs for one's viewing pleasure. Started with drinks and explored their mocktail options. The like a virgin was a great play on a spicy jalapeño margarita! Had a strong kick and mellowed out with some mixing. I'd go back for more. Starters: Nice simple selection. I wasn't too hungry so we started with the elote (Mexican street corn on the cob), which was well seasoned and had great flavors. The corn was a little harder and I personally thought it could have cooked a tad bit longer. I prefer when off the cob, less gets stuck in the teeth. Tacos: Just a note, heavy on meat options and limited seafood, especially that's not fried or battered. I did make the request for the drunken fish just grilled and it was accepted so applaud the chef! All mine were delicious. Flavors, salsas, sauces and even the corn tortillas. Dessert: Wrapped with the churros. I've had better and for this to be the only dessert, I wanted more. 3/4 stars. The service was slow, maybe because it was a slow night. The tough corn, lack of non fried/battered seafood and mediocre dessert. read more

Drinks aren't super strong but bartender Sarah was very nice and attentive! Elote dip is fire! Chicken in the torta was pretty well seasoned, a little too breaded but id get it again, the bread was good too - that's important! The crunch wrap would probably be better with ground beef over chicken! I enjoyed my time there, for a Friday 7/8PM it was packed house, easy to sit at the bar to eat though! read more

Overall a good experience. The wings were a bit disappointing. The restaurant is looked in Adams in the old Industry spot. The nachos are very good. The drinks are very good. They have a lot of space. read more

The drinks were excellent and I lived the ambiance but the food was absolutely subpar. The tacos were overpriced and underwhelming. We come again, but not for the food (unless it's late and nowhere else was open.) read more

Recently new and it's pretty good vibes and atmosphere here . Came here for the Celtics final and it was filled up . The tacos was good , but the chickens wings lacked flavors. Watermelon margaritas pitcher was so good here . Cool place to hang for some drinks and tacos. read more

This place really feels like a 3.5 star establishment, but alas I ended up rounding down. Chubb's is much more American than Mexican. The decor is just like a cute trendy cafe and only pop music playing. We tried three different types of tacos and all were full of meat (which was nice) but lacking spice or flavor. However, a redeeming quality was their nachos (added carnitas and guac )- the chips tasted freshly fried and there was a great ratio of toppings to chips. It was a huge amount of food on that tray and it easily could've been the meal for 2-3 people alone. In general, the prices felt a bit high (which is fairly normal in Boston) at around 20 a plate. Definitely not the best taco place around but a decent choice for food nonetheless. read more

Food is great and staff is so friendly and welcoming will definitely come and eat here if in the mood for great Mexican food

Excited to have something different in the neighborhood! As a Texan and someone who once lived in Mexico, I have diff standards for Mexican. Do I expect this to be the best Mexican I've ever had? No, BUT I was hoping it could be a place to satisfy my cravings. Queso - good but not amazing. There was a bit of a strong liqueur aftertaste. I'll give it another try! Tacos - gosh I really want to like these but the tortillas are tough and hard. As you can see in the photos, depending on what you get the portions of protein vary greatly. I was also really confused when I asked for salsa but got pico de gallo. Tuna tostadas - way too much sauce. Was hoping it would be light and refreshing but instead it was heavy. A lot of tuna though! Caesar - good but kinda pricey for what it was. I'll be back because it's close to home, service was good, and atmosphere was lively. Just hope they make some tweaks to the food bc there's so much potential. read more

I went for lunch with a friend, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the beef "crunch wrap," DELISH, and the Biria taco, which was also super solid. I had a virgin jalapeno pineapple-type drink (it was a workday) and enjoyed how fresh it tasted. We shared chips and guac as well. The tortilla chips were seasoned, warm, and delicious...did I mention free refills on the chips? 10/10 would definitely return! read more

This is such a cute place, but there's nothing like a bartender that knows her stuff! CELENA !!! Is absolutely amazing. She knew my pallet and did her thing!. If you come her please request , CELENA!!! The Food is also good But the bar is where it's @ read more

Chubbs has been consistently great since it opened about a year ago. The tacos are delicious--just be sure to eat them quickly! Burritos are solid, and while the chips can occasionally be a bit too salty, they're usually on point. The service is always excellent. The manager (or owner) is often there and couldn't be friendlier. All the hosts are welcoming, and we've never had a bad waiter. The entire staff is top-notch. One thing we really appreciate is their efficient system: whoever's available--whether it's a server, the manager, or even the cook--will bring your food out as soon as it's ready. That's a big plus. Most importantly for us, they offer gluten-free options and use a gluten-free fryer. Whether you're grabbing drinks at the bar or bringing the kids for a sit-down meal, Chubbs is a great spot in Dorchester for quality Mexican food and good vibes. read more

This is our second visit here, but we're considering it our first since we finally tried their food instead of just drinks! We love the indoor and outdoor spaces, especially in summer. The place is spacious with attentive and friendly staff. They offer a variety of drinks, including options for non-drinkers, which is a nice touch. For appetizers, my boyfriend and I shared the queso and taquitos. The portions are generous, and the food is delicious. The queso, a cheesy dip with spices and chorizo, is especially tasty, and the freshly made chips complement it perfectly. The taquitos are perfectly fried and substantial enough to almost make a meal on their own. We also tried two tacos each: The Gringo, Pork Belly (one each), and the Coconut Shrimp. The pork belly taco had a smaller portion of meat than expected, and the meat wasn't as tender as we'd hoped, but it still tasted great, reminiscent of burnt ends. The Coconut Shrimp taco was good, though the coconut flavor was a bit subtle. Overall, everything was flavorful; the only critique would be that some of the tortillas seemed too large for the portion size of the tacos. Overall, the ambience is fantastic with quick service. It's a great spot for cocktails and quick bites or even a nice dinner! read more

As a local to the area it's great to have a new restaurant near by! My husband and I came on a Friday evening and the place was slammed. It looks busy any time I drive by. The tacos were good, some better than others. I find it to be a little over priced to be honest. I went back a second time with friends and got the ahi tuna bowl which was tasty and spicy. We started with guac with the street corn and it was really good, chips were warm and fresh! I'm sure we'll be back. read more

We drive by this restaurant that seems packed all the time. We have been twice and the dish we like best is the crunch wrap. Ground beef, pepper jack cheese, lettuce and sauce. It's yummy.. You can take or leave the jalapeño which is placed on top of it. I also like that they have Dos Equis lager on tap. Evenings are pretty busy so it helps to make a reservation. read more

Absolutely the best & most authentic margarita & Mexican food in the Boston area... everything was so fresh & the margaritas tasted so fresh & not made from chemically filled mixers - you could taste the freshness in every sip. They have a lovely list of tequilas & mezcals to choose from, too. I've lived in the SW and areas with a large Latino populations and I take my Mexican food seriously. The service & food were top notch and our food was fresh and not tasting like it came from a chain. When an establishment takes as much care with their tortilla chips as with their mains you know you're dealing with a legit place. The chips were fried fresh and sprinkled with a dusting of deliciousness. We tried their Caesar, and once again, it was fresh & delish. Their dressing tasted like it was a freshly made garlic aioli! It's about the Details. That's what it's about. Our mains were equally as delish plus they have some outside seating and that topped off our experience. We'll def return and wish them well. Kudos to you all at Chubbs! read more

I came here with a large party for a birthday and overall the food was very good! We got a few appetizers including the wings, elote and nachos. In my opinion the wings were exceptionally good. There were also some rave reviews about the nachos from my party. The steak fajita was also as good as it looked. As good as all of the tacos and dishes were, the star of the show was our server: William P. Even though a table with 9 adults and 2 kids would stress most people out, he showed so much grace and patience while serving us. He always had a smile when coming to our table and even made the kids laugh. He definitely made our night. Thank you! read more

A nice looking restaurant but the food seemed uninspired and did not feel authentic. We each ordered different things: tacos , salad , and a popcorn chicken dish. But everything tasted like what someone thought Tex-Mex should be. It was kind of blah. read more

Our waitress was Taryn, she was a delight! Her drink recommendations were fabulous! We got the Guacamole and Street corn with the tortilla chips, the crunchwrap and taco salad. All were delicious.

I like the bar set up and atmosphere but the food isn't that great. Most of the taco's were dry. The Burria at Yellowdoor blows Chubb's away. The drinks were all short pours. Our waitress was really nice. Only three stars here and that's a little generous. read more

Chubbs is one of the better Mexican food restaurants I've been to in Boston. The prices are reasonable and the food absolutely fantastic. The cheese on the nachos was amazing it was perfect, not like a dry shredded cheese this was more of a queso cheese that seemed to be never ending. The chips they had were up to the cheese challenge too, they were tasty and strong to hold up all the cheese and not get soggy under the amount of cheese. I ordered the crunch wrap and it was delicious with beef. I would come back here again in a heart beat. The service was great and the food was even better! read more

It is their first week open so the fact that their staff is making mistakes is normal. It is obvious that the kitchen and the people putting in orders are not jibing well. The three tacos I had were good eight 8 out of 10. They advertise that they're 6-in tacos they're not. Three tacos a piece and a soda for the two of us for lunch was $70. I love their corn tortillas however they have to work on kitchen timing because they were too chewy for the price that they were charging and the size that they were claiming. read more

Pretty good. More of a 4.5 IMO. Loud place, big bar, table wait was 2 hours, but we got lucky and got bar seats. Nice bar, big bright TVs, solid ambiance. Reserve a table, or take your chances waiting for a bar seat, I would recommend the former until the newness wears off. Got 2 margaritas, they were solid. Place was slammed but bartenders kept up pretty well. We split birria taquitos, these were meh. Seemed like they had no meat and both wife and I felt like they didn't amount to much. Got the fried chicken, carne asada, and barbacoa tacos. All good. Wife got fried fish (loved the grilled pineapple salsa) and barbacoa tacos. Liked the barbacoa, said it was cold though. All in all, solid addition to the neighborhood. Will come back and try other stuff, curious to see how it holds up over time. read more

Really great atmosphere, I will defintely be back for the bar and the scene. But I am really looking forward to seeing some improvement with the food. Chips and salsa - Very skimpy serving, the Salsa verde was delicious, but the red and pico lacked any flavor at all. The Tijuana Cesar was the most disappointing. Again, very small serving for $22, Tasted like absolutely nothing, the carne asada was extremly rough. The crunchwrap was very good. Coconut margarita was great, but a touch too sweet. Service, great! read more

Great food and consitenrly great margaritas!! Plenty of TVs and easy to watch the game. Try the watermelon margs!!!

Food had good flavors but the taco's are tiny. They are smaller than the small plate with a minimum amount of meat. $7 each but you could probably eat 6 of them without a problem. read more
