Chubby's Tacos

Chubby's tacos is a great hole in the wall type restaurant with a few locations in Durham, one of which is on Ninth st.  Authentic Mexican tacos complete with fresh ingredients and salsas, the kind of place everyone loves. There was a Mexican restaurant in Concord by my mom’s job that used to serve authentic tacos like these; shredded meat, cilantro and chopped onions. The tacos were so good we never ordered anything else on the menu; the same is true for Chubby’s.  A variety of fillings from shrimp to barbacoa (Mexican shredded bbq) lay on top of six inch corn tortillas with toppings like the old standbys of cilantro and onion or fresh new ideas like chipotle cream. These tacos are so tasty that you end up eating two or three more than you should, every time. The last few times I have had Chubby’s has been at a favorite bar of mine, The Tavern. It is on Markum right off Ninth in Durham. The Tavern hasn’t gotten their kitchen up and running yet, so a lot of the fellas like to bring in some tacos (including a few for the bartender Chris) and have them with their best side dish, a cold beer.
