Chubby Buddha
3.5 / 5 (404 reviews)

Description

Chubby Buddha offers a lively, laid-back bar with a sunny patio and plane-watching views near the airport. Housemade birria, creamy queso and hefty burritos draw food lovers, while draft beer and cocktails keep nights buzzing. Service varies: many guests praise friendly, accommodating bartenders, but some report inattentive or rude staff, noisy crowds, high drink prices and an automatic 20% gratuity. Great for casual nights, groups and late-night tacos — price-conscious visitors should be aware of uneven service and drink costs.

The bartender who was a white women was making fun of me and my friends she was so rude and it was insane. I have never been to a bar that treats you like a joke. Me and my sister went To the bathroom and she assumed we were doing drugs in the bathroom and left a note under the bathroom saying “share drugs with the bartender” meanwhile we were all taking turns peeing she Evan Made the comment in front of people as if we were going something wrong. Meanwhile we are on our family vacation and were just looking for a bar, very disappointed in the service provided. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Incredible made from scratch food! The birria tacos and burritos are absolutely delicious! Their chips and queso are also worth getting and is full of flavor and perfectly creamy! This place is definitely worth going to and trying everything on the menu. The Kitchen Sink Burrito with Carne Asada is also worthy of its own shutout. Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Nacho Mama, Queso, Chips and Salsa

This place was worst experience, don't go here. Bartender was very rude, people in the bar were constantly cussing, just not a good place to go. They automatically put a 20% tip without my permission, and I tried to tell them no, and they said they can if they want and pointed to a little sign that isn't even noticeable when your there. Dishonest, rude, and didn't deserve a tip. Dont go here. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Stopped here on a slow Wednesday evening. My wife and I bought two draft beers and were charged $18. Wow, nine dollars for a draft beer. Most of the people there appeared to be regulars and were not particularly friendly. We had to stay on the outside deck, since we brought our dog. This also where everyone came to smoke. I was really hoping this could be our go to sports bar during the football season. But with $9 beers and the unwelcoming atmosphere we will not be returning here. Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2
