Chubby's Tacos Is No More

That's not entirely true, but it does point out the power of a headline.  More on that in a moment.

Chubby's Tacos is like Mexican food nirvana for this gringo.



The tortillas are made in house and traditionally double wrapped.



The meats are marinated to a juicy tenderness that's barely legal.  The salsa bar (again, freshly made in house) features heats and flavors for all taste buds with huge chunks of tomato.



Chubby's used to be open only in Durham.  Then word got out and they successfully expanded to Raleigh. Next stop Cary, and then who knows?

Houston, we have a problem.

Seems there are some trademark issues with that Chubby's name.  So much so, in fact, that Chubby's will soon be changing its name.

!!!!Eso Es Terrible!!!!




(sung to Billy Joel)

She can make a taco, whether sauteed or fried
She can burn off your mouth with some salsa you tried
But the name is no good, yes its taken you see
You can change all you want, but you'll always be Chubby's to me
