A great place to get Mexican-American food. The chili cheese fries with Chicharron are to DIE for. The absolute best I've had. However there is a HUGE wait so always order online for pickup and you can save yourself 20-30 minutes of standing in line

This is a staple in Denver, from my time living here I have so many memories. They are too busy and will not pay attention to what you order, they will hear whatever they want and give you the food in whatever way they heard you. All of this with a beautiful smile… 😅

Hands down the best green chili cheese fries (loaded fries) ever!!! Decent kick and one heat level, so if you are spicy senstive, this might not be for you. I mean pretty much anything you get here is delicious, the burritos especially. This is a Denver staple, so do yourself a favor and eat here to taste the soul of this city

I love my chili cheeseburgers 😍🤤 and tacos 🌮😋. This will always be my favorite place in Denver to eat. The line might be long but there fast and it's worth it. The employees work fast and efficient to get stuff out right. I appreciate them. Thanks for your service. I have been driving there from Littleton since I was 16 in 1996 😂... 💓

I give Chubby's 5 stars, not because it is the best Mexican food or restaurant, but because it is the best at what it does! I started going to Chubby's 20+ years ago as a late-night place to grab some good green chili, and over the years the location has only gotten better. They have turned a hole-in-the-wall into an actual sit-down restaurant. I enjoy the smothered steak burrito!

Go here if you want no nonsense ordering. If they're busy, they act like it when they handle customers (believe it ot not its still customer service). You won't find soft, emotional, time consuming waits....it's business!!!! And I like it. The food is awesome! Some call it trash but you know, opinions are like you-know-whats, even mine...but mine doesn't stink so if you don't like their food, the problem is yours not theirs. The variety of what you can order is refreshing, not what you'd expect unless you've been there a lot. It's been there for over 39 years so they do some things right!

I really enjoyed the food. I’m very sad I won’t be eating here again. It’s a counter order place like any fast food. The 1 star service and atmosphere is only because I was forced to add a tip to my credit card but there is no staff tending the dining room. The credit card machine forces you to tip with the cashier staring on. I’m afraid not to tip in such situations because they just need to give a signal to the kitchen and I get extra phlegm in my food. So they extorted me for another 15% although I’m sure the staff makes far more hourly than the $10.81 Colorado waitstaff wage that tips were designed for. I do not complain when my table is dirty at a fast food place that asks for no tip. But when a tip is required, I expect service for that 15-25%. At minimum, a clean table and staff to box my leftovers and take my trash then clean the table when I leave ready to welcome the next guest. That is not this place. It is a fast food place that demands tips with no waitstaff. Was my first time trying this Colorado icon, and I’m sorry to say, despite the great food I will never return. If I could afford a 15% tip, which is their minimum with a cashier staring on, I would go to a full service restaurant. No option for custom tip or “no tip” but an employee, responsible for my food, staring on. Dear owners: Please change this practice as tips are for employees making the 2023 Colorado waiter wage of $10.81 hour. Put a tip jar for cash out so tipping is a choice, not required while an employee stares and judges your customers.

Chili cheese fries are amazing, made a special trip out of my way to get them. The green chili has exceptional flavor on its own, put it on fries and add cheese? Awesomeness.

As far as trying to support my local restaurants, Chubbys is one of those those are locally owned and operated and have been family owned for years and their food has always been in as far as I’m concerned top-notch as far as fast food goes, but you can also come there and have a sit down dinner if you’d like there isn’t a lot of space at this one, so you couldn’t really have like a huge party or anything but you could definitely do a table for 2-4 . The people that work and run this place are so nice . And you can definitely tell that they put their heart and soul in the food . I recommend this place at any time of day.

The kids wanted chili fries. So we chose to go to our favorite chili fries establishment. We bought three orders. We like to add chicharrones to them. I ordered a Mexican hamburger smothered in green. We also had to Horchata. If you never been here before. When you walk in look at the menu and go to the order here window there are 2. After you get your ticket with your number on it just wait on one of the benches or in the dining area if you’re eating in and wait for your number. If you order a Horchata or Agua Fresca. They’ll give you a cup you put as much ice as you want and take it to the window where the machine is. They’ll fill it up for you. Once they call your number you pick up your order check your food make sure everything’s there. And then you’re good to go.
