Would highly recommend this restaurant!! The best tacos in Raleigh/Cary with great vegetarian options!!! Friendly staff & excellent customer service!! Great atmosphere & outdoor seating!! read more

The tacos and service are outstanding. If you're vegetarian you've got to try the black bean and sweet potato taco, so good! We live out of town and drive through Raleigh on our way to visit family at least monthly. It's a go-to, halfway stop for us, better than fast food but just as fast or faster on a Friday night. Delicious! read more

I was borderline Hangry and realized if I don't get some lunch soon, the world is going to end. Okay fine, perhaps I exaggerate a little at times Luckily, Chubby's was on the horizon and we walked into a vibe that I've frequented in the past, but it had been a while. Staff greeted us promptly and were super helpful informing us about the $5 build your own burrito special for the day. Holy frijoles Batman! We indulged in chips with queso and salsa, all delicious per usual. The grilled chicken burrito was awesome too, and I had to take half home because its a lot of food to chow down in one sitting. Overall, my hunger was tamed and I realized I need to get more Chubby's in my life again read more

The staff who assisted me was pleasant. The tacos are reasonable priced and flavorful but the meat was cold. I tried the beef and chicken. Not much to write home about here. Perhaps I should return right at the opening time for fresh food. Rice and beans were the same as the tacos. read more

I love Chubby's! Their loaded nachos are my favorite. Spicy carne asada, please! The salsa bar is a nice addition, and the $2 taco Tuesday special is pretty legit. They also have $3 margaritas on Mondays. read more

I ordered the ACP and a strawberry basil mojito. The ACP hit the spot, cheesy, and delicious... exactly what I wanted. The mojito was light and refreshing with that little hint of basil that makes it feel extra fancy. The place has a cheerful, colorful setup that feels bright and fun, and there's a TV if you want something to watch while you eat. The vibe is easygoing, the food came out quick, and I'd definitely come back to try more things on the menu. read more

The tacos are delicious. It also came with free chips and they had a salsa bar. The birria tacos were packed with flavor and ingredients. They had a good amount of birria in them. The service was quick here. We were one of the only ones in the restaurant when we ate, but they got the tacos out within 5-10 minutes. There were booths and high tops to sit at, so a great amount of seating throughout the restaurant. You place your order at a counter and it is brought out to you. Salsa is self-serve, so you can get as much or as little as you want. Overall, this place had a cool atmosphere with music playing the whole time, and is a nice little spot to go to whenever you're in the mood for tacos. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE!! I sent my employees here for their lunch break and it has to be by far one of the worse if not the worse Mexican restaurant we have ever been too. The peoples attitudes, and Service was just as disgusting as the food, and they call themselves authentic. I don't even have to say much look and read the other reviews. The customer come first and should always be shown respect. Then the prices are ridiculous. Keep up the good work guys, without Customers you guys aren't nothing remember that. Hate to leave bad reviews but you guys are unbelievable. read more

First time checking this place out and I ordered two tacos and made it a combo. The combo sides I chose were refried beans and rice. I didn't really care for the rice it was like Spanish boxed rice. The tacos were good though ,I got the spicy carne asada and a chicken one. I did try out there salsa bar and tried a few spicy sauces. They also have a bar in there so I'll have to check it out next time I'm nearby read more

I hadn't been to Chubbys in a couple years. Man have they changed. Went in expecting the football size burrito per usual. Not even close. Super small with a higher price. Which the price I don't mind paying. Just keep up with what you have been know for. The taste was still there, and the sauces were still great as well. The service was great and the ambiance was still that same " a taco joint." Chubby just went on a diet I guess. read more

Disappointing experience. We sat at the bar for about 20 minutes without being acknowledged. When we finally went to the counter to speak to anyone, we were told someone would be with us shortly because they were working on a large party. The "large party" was eight people, on a Friday at 1:30pm. No one else was in the restaurant. After waiting another 10 minutes with no one coming by, we decided to leave and went elsewhere for lunch. Food and drinks might be cheap , but service and communication really missed the mark. read more

Literally the most unfresh food i have had in a really long time. no idea how old the beans and rice are. no sour cream on my burrito. the tortillas are not even cooked all the way. how is this place even operating honestly. read more

Our order included - loaded nachos (chicken) - large serving size and very good; - carne asada taco, flour tortillas- was good! - two fish tacos, one fried and one grilled. Grilled was the best of the 3 tacos - I loved the selection of salsas, especially fond of the Chubby's salsa (if I got the name right) Food was delivered quickly and service was good. I thought the meals were a good value. I liked the family environment on the booth side - fit what we were looking for! We'll be back! read more

I walked in and there's a section to walk over to for takeout orders. I was directed by one of the patrons to go down to the other end that the gal was there. My order had made its way to them but she couldn't figure out how to input the order into their computer system to start making my food. Waiting 5 to 10 minutes for my burrito and two different taco items to be prepared I had a false expectation that my food would be hot. I got out to the car and decided to eat immediately. I got a spicy carne asada and a pork taco and the meat was dry and overcooked and lukewarm. I should have known that when I opened the container and the tacos had spelled all over the place to lower my expectations about the food taste and quality The inside of the restaurant is and what would be expected from a popular taco place in an extremely busy shopping center. They are a chain and I'm assuming that when they earned best tacos in RDU it was either not at this particular location or the reviewers announced their arrival so that the food could be specially prepared for them. I'm not trying to say that it's easy making good tacos or burrito, but serving lukewarm food and charging $27 for an oversized order so I knew I wouldn't leave hungry, I really expected more. Now I gave two stars because enough people of apparently enjoyed this place that maybe I just came at a bad time at 2:15 in the afternoon on a Thursday. Maybe I need to give them another shot. But there's a hell of a lot of competition out there and I would really have to feel inclined to roll the dice a second time on something that failed epic the first time around. Those of you who follow me on here are aware that I rarely slam a restaurant and that I've been around and trying many different types of cuisine. For me to be so taken back by this meal it should speak to how disappointing it was. My personal suggestion is if you're thinking about chubby's tacos for the first time, I'd look elsewhere. read more

Chubby's Tacos - The taco store that I ordered from online. - Mexican Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

The Tacos here were very solid. We enjoyed what we ate, but we also feel like we've had better tacos at other places around the city. They were very tasty, but the meats in them were not bursting with flavor like they are at some places. We felt the same way about our queso dip as well. The best thing about this place was that the employees were very helpful and kind to us. The interior decor, was nothing that drew us in. It was somewhat darkly lit and the advertisements printed on the table made it feel cheap. I would go back to give it a second chance, but with so many taco shops to try in Raleigh, I'll probably be more likely to try something new. read more

Service was fine. Tortilla chips were stale. Carnitas was a soggy. Tacos were small. I used to enjoy Chubby's, but hadn't been there in several years. read more

Really cool spot. When ordering a meal you get chips and salsa and they have an awesome salsa bar with a lot of different varieties you can choose from depending on preference. The food was on point. I ordered the enchilada meal (admittedly it was so good I went two days in a row), and it was excellent. The dive bar atmosphere make the overall experience really cool. Obviously this wouldn't qualify as a 5 star restaurant in the fancy Michelin standard but for a Mexican restaurant/dive bar you can't beat it. Highly recommend!! read more

Love Chubby's Taco!! Excellent Mexican food. Had the pleasure of eating the Enchiladas one beef and one cheese with refried beans and Spanish rice for under $11. Order at the counter and friendly efficient staff deliver to my table. Highly recommend! Checked out your menu last night and I didn't see any enchiladas listed? Have you discontinued making them? read more

Located off I-440 and Lake Boone Trail. I posted the current menu. They give you a free basket of tortilla chips with some Mexican seasoning on them. They do have a good selection of salsa and pico de gallo, see photos. The spicy chicken tinga burrito and chicken quesadilla were excellent. The quesadilla was as expected and the burrito was large. The people next to us had an order of nachos which was gigantic. I did not want to take a picture of it but the plate was large. They also have a bar with tvs. So might be a good option to watch some sports on the weekend. Recommend the burritos. read more

Consistency is key! I've visited several times and ordered to go several times. The biggest concern is the consistency. On average the food is good. Today, the Baja fish taco was underwhelming. The fish was not fresh and portion was under 2oz. The drinks were delicious. Service was great. The ambiance is confusing. It looks like a seafood restaurant and the playlist jumps from country to r&b to rock. read more

Just took home two chicken tacos. They were very meager and unsatisfying. I have been taking out from Chubby's for more than ten years and have never had anything other than good food. These tacos were torn up and just had some chicken and a few onions. Really unsatisfying. read more

We walked in and the entrance looked fascinating! A person named Jamie was at the counter and had multiple options, from nachos to combos. The place was AMAZING and had a very good layout, it was clean, it was in column, and very neat overall. When we got out, we were pleased. (make sure jamie sees the () thing that I just added, thanks for the bag of chips!) read more

I don't typically write bad reviews however the food at this location was so notably disappointing. We ordered the al pastor quesadilla and burrito. The meat that was presented had no resemblance or taste to al pastor. It tasted like salty soggy cardboard. The rice, beans, and queso had no flavor. The cashier was friendly and the food came out quickly but unfortunately we will not be back. read more

Excellent Tacos (Birra,Chicken Tonga, carne asada) very reasonable and great flavors! Nice drink specials (3 dollar pints Thursday)

My husband and I had lunch here. We both ate the spicy Tinga chicken tacos, mine with the corn tortillas and he had the flour. Very good, especially for the price. Now, I can't vouch for the margaritas, but my husband had one that he said was "out of this world". Lauren, the bartender & waiter) is such a great asset to this establish! Not only does he make a dynamite margarita, but he also made us feel super welcome and eager to return. We'll be back with our possie! read more

The food is pretty good, so is the inside. The workers are very nice, but I would not have this place too often because they make their food with a lot of grease which can make you have diarrhea. read more

These guys know what they're doing. Great food, great drinks, and great people! Considering we showed up before closing, we couldn't be more grateful. Thanks again! read more

not good at all. I had to wait 30 or more . I can hear the kitchen staff in back arguing. Didn't even have the ticket for my order. Ask the cashier for a refund he kept saying oh I can't give you a refund. You have talked to management. food was cold I was late getting back to work. she wouldn't refund my food wanted to give me. 2 free tickets for tacos smh never again. read more

Food and service were both excellent! We will definitely return often. Their burritos are hard to beat.

Chubby's has upgraded since the pandemic, it's expanded into a larger space. It features a much larger outdoor eating area as well. The food is how I remember but the portion sizes are smaller and the prices are a little higher. It is as authentic as you will find outside of a food truck. It's still a solid place for a fast lunch. The one star reduction is for the salsa bar. While still boasting a large selection of delicious salsas, they are now kept in squeeze bottles. This was to improve hygiene during Covid...BUT....they likely haven't been wiped down in forever. Every single bottle I touched was absolutely coated in sticky old salsa. It was gross but add to that the food served is predominately hand-held...just yuck. Sad because their salsas are rockin. read more

Tacos were completely cold, customer service was mia. Got veggie tacos and grilled shrimp. The veggie tacos had barely any veggies or tofu, the grilled shrimp tasted more like ceviche than grilled shrimp tacos. Didn't get ask if I wanted corn or flour tortillas like my past experience here. I used to love chubbys and say it's one of the best, this place has gone downhill, very disappointed. read more

We have not been to chubby tacos in several years and wanted to give it a try again. What a disappointment! Paid extra for chicken fajita meat in my burrito and basically had less than 10 pieces of chicken! What I did have was so finely chopped that it didn't really count! The cheese dip was flavorless and not worth $5. Overall not impressed. $35 lunch for two people and we left feeling very dissatisfied. Not the Chubby Tacos we used to love and will not be back. read more

It's more of a bar seating is limited inside and not good for a big family .felt really cramped in there . The nachos are very basic not much flavor and not much meat either . They were friendly but I will not be returning here because there was a lot of up charges all I ordered was chips with cheese and they added lettuce and sour cream etc . I was eating so fast trying to get out of there I forgot to take a picture. read more

We have been eating a Chubbys since they opened and were a small restaurant .. We had a bad meal 3 weeks ago it everyone has a bad night...then tonight was the last straw. It's obvious that they don't care about quality or service.. walked in before 9 and ordered a chicken dish, quesadilla and cheese dip..they said they were out of chicken and were not cooking anymore.. so agreed to try the steak. The picture should help understand the soggy, minimal steak portions and the chips were pretty old. Sad that such a great restaurant has fallen this far. read more
