Chubasco

What a great little place! With an unassuming store front in a small strip mall with far too little parking, Chubasco serves top-notch, authentic Mexican food at a very reasonable price. With a plane to catch at Bob Hope Burbank Airport just a few miles away in two hours, I needed something quick and tasty. I ordered two crispy shredded beef tacos ($2.25) and a cheese and onion enchilada ($3) à la carte as well as a side order of guacamole ($1.95). They brought me a complimentary basked of fresh, warm chips and some salsa (green or red) to eat with my guac. The guacamole was the size of a $5 - $6 order at most places and seasoned perfectly and tacos were spot-on with hot, crispy shells, an abundance of shredded beef, lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and grated queso fresco (fresh, white cheese). I added a little of the guacamole and some salsa, making these the perfect tacos, the tacos that I have been missing since moving to the Pacific Northwest. The enchilada had plenty o' cheese and onion, the homemade red enchilada sauce was sublime, a perfect blend of chiles (not tomato) and spices, and it was topped with more cheese and broiled before serving. All in all, for just $12.50 including tax, this was one of the best values, when it comes to meals, I have had in recent memory. The service was fast and friendly and the place clean although very basic, with just a few small tables and chairs. CombatCritic Gives Chubasco Restaurant 9 Bombs Out Of 10 ...

Chubasco is a great little place for simple Mexican dishes. Personally I would recommend their asada..it is well seasoned and cooked right everytime I've ordered it. Service is nice, the ladies are pleasant and make your food to order. My only quibble would be the meat, particularly the asada when used in say tacos or burritos can be a bit greasy or oily, which I'm thinking comes from the pan used in preparation. Otherwise, a nice place..and a one off place..to eat at.
