When rumor had it that there was a new restaurant in town that served Colorado style Green Chili, I was on the hunt. Well. I found it and it's just as good as I had hoped. Ok. It's beyond good. Found just off the free road near Popotla, Chubby's is in a quaint location with ample room in the dining room and a nice patio to enjoy our beautiful baja climate. Looking at the menu was overwhelming with so many amazing options. I literally stared at it for what felt like an hour. So I guess coming here ripped on the devil's lettuce wasn't too smart of an idea lol. I just couldn't narrow it down. Well, eventually I did and settled on the carne asada burrito smothered in their famous green chili. And due to the fact that I didn't have breakfast, I asked them to put an over-easy egg on top for good measure.
The food came out in record time and was piping hot. The green chili was literally the best I've ever had and was the perfect amount of spice to compliment my burrito. The egg on top was cooked to perfection and pulled the whole meal together very well. The owner even told me he marinades his carne asada in beer to break down the fibers, ensuring it's juicy and tender. You can actually taste it in the meat. The rice and beans were amazing, and the bacon in the beans made my bathing suit parts tickle. Forgot to add that the complimentary chips come with his famous green chili and queso for a dip. You will try to order another cup, I promise you.
If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. Put it on your list of must-eats and be sure to stop by on your way north to the border from a K38 surf trip. It's the perfect meal to soak up any hangover and prepare you for the border wait. read more
