"Authentic Mexican This unassuming little restaurant in a small strip-mall in a commercial neighborhood consistently rates as a local favorite for both the Hispanic and Caucasian populations here. It’s no frills— your meal will be served on paper plates; they serve beer but no other alcohol— but service is quick and efficient. Serving lunch and dinner, El Chubbie’s (as locals call it due to the generous portions) specialties are the homemade salsa bar, the carnitas, tamales and street tacos. Park City is not zoned to allow food trucks—this is the closest you’ll get to those freshly concocted eats."

Yummy dishes and great service. Two people can easily share one plate. We were stuffed. Also the free chips and salsa were great. They have a free salsa bar and they have great choices. It's hard to find good salsas and this is the place. They got 4 stars a couple of reasons. The black beans need a little work. Too simple for my liking. Also, I got the wrong order and the waiter was set on saying the ticket said otherwise. He then realized he got confused and apologized so I give him that. The other, we didn't get a receipt and remember the total being under $70 but ended up getting a statement charge of $80. Not sure what happened but we don't have a way to fix it without the receipt.

El Chubssco is a casual, order-at-the-counter Mexican spot with an excellent salsa bar. Everything I’ve had here over the years has been top notch. Plus, super friendly and professional people work here. My favorite are the sopes and the California Burrito smothered in mole.

I ordered enchiladas which were served as dine in and was so disappointed with them! They weren’t even what I would consider enchiladas. I got a dry tortilla with barely seasoned shredded chicken layered with cheese shreds and lettuce. The presentation was ok but the taste experience was very unimpressive . Another disappointment was the cashier who was extremely impersonal. On a side note , was fortunate to get a tasty fajita dish though.

Great grab and go or casual counter orders and sit and eat. No fuss but fresh and delicious options. Salsa bar is stocked with many varieties to sample. Satisfying!

Got the Birria Tacos. It was amazing. Tacos were crunchy fresh pork onions and cilantro with birria soup to dip and sip with the tacos. It’s a secret menu item. I live in a mexican household so I know what to ask. If you came here because of a rideshare driver’s advice then it was me who made the recommendation. Easy not a too busy location. Affordable and delicious.

Solid Mexican fare! Burritos are massive a delicious. I had the regular Mexican burrito with asada - super tasty. May try it wet next time. Son had the California burrito - also good, but I preferred the Mexican. Wife had the asada quesadilla - excellent. Fantastic salsa bar and complementary tortilla chips as a starter! It's cold in there during the winter with all the customers coming and going - dress accordingly.

We stopped here to get a burrito to go to take on the plane tomorrow and while we waited, my daughter got a chicken quesadilla off the kids menu and we shared the kids nachos, friendly service, decent size portions. Would recommend!

You had me at salsa bar... I'd forgotten about this unassuming and hidden gem located in a small strip mall here in Park City. Thankfully, my wife reminded me of the delicious food and sauce options. We came in here on a Friday night and we ended up sitting next to another couple. There is maybe enough room for 30-35 patrons to sit comfortably, so if you're okay sharing a table with someone, go for it. I got the veggie burrito which is filled with black beans, pico, cheese, peppers and onions. It comes topped with sour cream, cilantro, and guacamole (you can add sauce too). I opted for the red sauce. I also got a side of chips so I could try out the many different salsa options. The burrito was delicious and easily enough for two meals. My favorite sauces were the spicy Serrano frito and tomatillo y arbol. To tame down the heat between bites, I also loved the verde smother. My wife got some steak quesadillas (also enough for two meals) and she was able to find some sauces she liked that contained lesser heat. Prices for the area are very reasonable and this place is so laid back and unpretentious. You simply can't go wrong if you're looking to spice up your night with some tasty Mexican food.

Been gone from PC a few years and WOW this place is so sad. Camarones a la diabla was my favorite. They cooked them in aceite de árbol now just a tomato sauce with red pepper flakes and half the shrimp. Came back to see if shrimp tacos would be better... $12.50 for two shrimp tacos with 3 small shrimp in each. That's $2 per shrimp Que chistoso! Enserio as muy triste. En Kamas a Kings Tacos compró un taco de camarón con 6-8 camarones por $3. Pudo usar el otro tortilla y hacer dos tacos rellenos con buena salsa y sabor. Lástima que uno de my lugares favoritos nunca volvería.

Nice atmosphere and friendly service, but the food just wasn't good. The fish taco lacked flavor and substance not to mention over cooked and greasy. The carne asada also lacked flavor. Even the salsa bar was disappointing. Not trying to be rude, just honest. I really hope the food improves, because the place has potential.

Solid Mexican food and outstanding salsa bar. During peak dining time, be prepared to queue in line and wait awhile for the food.

Went here for Mexican takeout in Park City. Absolutely tasty back "home", but the highlight was the dipping bar, where you could grab condiments. They had tons of choices! Two of us were there, and we grabbed about six each. With a big one for salsa, and one for green chile sauce, but there were so many to try. Once back at the ranch, we poured a bit on each mexican dish, and of the twelve, only two did not get finished (nothing wrong, just not to our tastes). Absolutely great food, and great fun with the condiment tastes!

Went here twice while we were around. For the good food and cheaper prices compared to everything else in the area. Delicious. Fajitas were awesome! Love the salsa bar the most though.

For vegetarians, this place is incredible. We ordered vegetarian tacos American style and we loved it. They have awesome sauces here to try like Mango & cilantro. Must try for vegetarians!!!

Wanting to start off by saying how expensive it is for what you get. I got the enchiladas and you only get two small ones. There was 3 dried out chicken pieces in each one. The lettuce was not like normal lettuce but similar to a cabbage texture. The salsa bar did not have a red salsa which was disappointing.

Best deal in Park City? We went for a late summer meal and were able to sit outside and enjoy the setting sun. I had the chicken fajitas which were so good! They were served hot and fresh! The flour tortillas, cilantro rice and black beans that came along side the sizzling plate were also fresh and delicious. Even though it is counter service, the staff was friendly and brought the food to our outdoor table. My favorite thing was the salsa bar with so many choices of all spice levels. All this for less than $15!

Great service, and amazing fresh salsa selection. Food was great. Carnitas were tasty.

This is a must stop in Park City. Off the main drag, but the food is excellent. The salsa bar is really fun. There was a small area to eat, but it was busy!

I want so bad to give this place 5 stars - the food really deserves it. But unfortunately they were out of all alcohol except beer (and I was really looking forward to that margarita!) and out of steak (really looking forward to those steak fajitas too!!). The salsa bar was such a cool little perk, but I'm pretty sure someone threw up in trash can next to the bar so the whole thing reeked. Kind of ruined the whole experience and required us to move tables mid meal (the stench was killin the apetito). So much potential just felt like and off day there. The food I did get was 10/10

Terrible service. One person handling Saturday rush. The one thing that is CRAZY is the portion of guacamole for $7.99. Caviar is cheaper

Very delicious food, great service and a large and quite varied menu. I loved the "Camarones Primavera" perfectly prepared and the exquisite sauce. Awesome "Tinga de Pollo" I will definitely return.

Cute little Mexican place that my family enjoys because of the fun salsa options. Food came out quick and the ladies at the counter were friendly. The food was a little dry.

Monster burrito for $13. Worth it. Tasty carnitas except for the hunks of fat they don't take out. A bit on the "safe" side in terms of flavor profile, probably so as not to offend any Mormons.

Great Mexican food. I had it as take out. The sauces which come with the meal make the taste amazing. Next time I will try dining in as I always find food better in house than once it's taken out. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

A hole in the wall mall stop that has been there for decades. As far from mainstream americanized mexican food that you can expect in Park City. And that is far. For example, one of the soups was menudo (of you can stomach it). The enchiladas with (brown) mole shone in the light of the excellent sauce--definitely a recommended dish. The bar of sauces: one of its long-standing highlights--6 to 7 different sauces to spoon into coverable (and covetable) containers for your table or to go. Skip the mexican burrito with carne asada. A wrapped dud of beef and rice and little or nothing else-- so dar out of character, that I would have ranked it a 1-2 star. Stick to the winners, and there are many. And prices are far from resort-standard. Affordable and good. Repeat eater.

Average at best. You order at the counter and receive a small basket of bland chips. The chicken nachos were a mound of chips, too much cheese, some beans and little chicken. The house margaritas were sour.

Amazing food in generous portions. I picked a combo plate with two items, my husband had a big Mexican style burrito. The food was EXACTLY what I wanted in a Mexican restaurant. All the flavors and textures were spot on. We also tried multiple salsas from their salsa bar and enjoyed them all. Cannot wait for an opportunity to come back again!

I know this is Utah, it's decent for Utah I guess... All the sauces are good, I tried Asada and pastor tacos, they are not bad, tequitos weren't good, my friend and I were sharing this shrimp in red sauce, I wasn't a fan so I didn't eat it, the best thing was beans and guacamole taco that my friend made... I'm from California so it's hard to please Californias when it comes to Mexican food...

Salsa Edition Serrano 3.5 flavor 4, heat 3.5 weak side. Like a jalapeño but a little less bite Arbol 2.5. Nice heat but too smoky (ash in the salsa) Mango and Manzano - 4. First hits really sweet then the spice comes. Nice hot. Habanero 4.7. Just raw so not awesome on chips but perfect on food. Definitely feel it and it builds like a pepper should. Ranchero - 1.5. No heat and burnt flavor. Also got nachos - 3.5 queso (American queso, think Chipotle's queso) 3.5, chips - 4, beans - 5, salsa fresco 4 good amount not too soggy.

Our favorite Mexican food spot up in Park City! Okay guys, this place is AMAZING. Our favorite thing to do is the "Choose 2" or "Choose 3" plate. It makes it so you can get a little bit of everything! You can choose between an enchilada, tamale, or taco. Some of our favorites are the cheese or chicken enchilada, the carne asada taco, and the pork tamale!! Every plate comes with a free side of chips and they also have a salsa bar with many different spice levels and flavors. Our favorite is the cilantro ranch and the mango habanero. Now in coronavirus, they have individually packaged salsas for each customer. El Chubasco can also be found at the JAZZ arena! It's a must whenever we go to a game there! Lastly, you can't go wrong with a side of queso and a horchata...!

I grew up here- this place has been here as long as I can remember. I would argue this is one of the best restaurants in all of park city. Amazing for after ski meals Salsa bar is delicious- prices are unbeatable- services is amazing- the quality of the food is excellent . Do yourself a favor and eat at el chubasco

Authentic Mexican food with a spectacular self-serve salsa bar. Food (3/5 Stars): A variety of authentic Mexican food ranging from burritos to street tacos and fajitas (served with rice and beans). You can choose to "smother" any burrito in salsa, melted cheese, or crema - a little messy but did not disappoint. They are famously known for their salsa bar featuring delicious sauce options such as Cilantro Crema and Verde Smother. I recommend ending your meal with one of their fresh churros. Drink (3/5 Stars): Small selection of Mexican beers. They also sell homemade Horchata. Service (4/5 Stars): Very fast and friendly service. No formal waiter service (you order at the front and bring your food to the table). Atmosphere (3/5 Stars): Quiet "hole in the wall" spot a few streets down from Main Street. Casual atmosphere with plenty of indoor seating.

This is an awesome restaurant. Had the Taco Salad and just look at how big it is...Really Big! Horchata was made perfectly and the salsa selections were amazing -especially the Pico De Gallo and the Cilantro Crema. Go here ready to eat!

This looks good but yeesh! The meal was so bad that I had to go next door to Israeli spot Nosh, and thank goodness I did - it was delicious! The tacos are full of very dry, low-quality meats (the al pastor had an odd taste), and even the corn tacos themselves were basic, grocery-store quality. Skip this and get the incredible buttermilk chicken next door at Nosh and the big, fat lobster roll nearby at Freshies.

We ordered shrimp quesadilla, chicken plate, taco, rice, beans mommy, and lots of salsa. Everything was delicious. Hot and Made to order. This is a casual fast dining place. I loved the cilantro lime rice. The grilled chicken was chicken breast sliced which was perfect for my toddler. My husband loved the tacos Mexican style. My shrimp quesadilla was cheesy, large and had jumbo shrimps in it. The salsa bar is what makes this place. So many different flavors. The habanero green was our favorite. We love to visit this place when in Park city.

Well, that was disappointing. The single star is because a zero star option isn't available. Had friends coming up from the valley and wanted to pick up food from El Chubasco for everyone on a Sunday around 530. Called, no answer. VM said mailbox full. Called a couple more times (minutes apart to make sure I had the right number). I did. Gave up after a while and just drove over and figured I'd wait there -- it's close. Mentioned to the person at the counter that I tried to call, no answer, and mailbox was full. Blank stare. No, "Oh gosh, I better check that." No mention of it to any of her co-workers either -- there were 3 nearby. Maybe that's standard protocol? Ordered about $80 worth of food, left a 15% tip (even though it's take out), and waited about 20 minutes -- fine and expected. Right after ordering and tipping, I asked if I could get a little larger container to take salsa back for my group (they only have the tiny plastic things that serve one mouse at a time) and was told they could give me one but would have to charge me for it. Oh ok. Assembled 7 or 8 mouse salsas to bring back and of course, spilled at least half of them on myself and the counter. Got home and several things were missing that I paid for (pint of rice, pint of beans, flour tortillas, etc.). Could have driven back but friends had car blocked and by the time r I waited in line and then for my order, I'd be gone at least 40 minutes with friends at my house. Food was mediocre at best -- this place has gone downhill over the years. The house speciality I ordered, their shrimp dish was unacceptable. Shrimp were fine, sauce was terrible. No flavor, except salt. A lot of salt. Like a salt mine ruptured and invaded my food. I've had this dish before and it used to be good. Anomaly? Maybe. Lessons learned? 1. Make the time to go through the bag and make sure everything you ordered is there before you drive away. 2. Stop tipping for poor service and unacceptable responses. 3. Consider skipping El Chubasco entirely and give your business to one of the other Mexican food places in PC (Alberto's, Taramuhara, etc.). 4. If you do go to EC, plan on taking your blood pressure several times over the next 48 hours and do not hike Silver Spur.

Decided to try El Chubasco to get away from Main Street. It was a good choice. They had a nice range of dishes offered and a wide variety of bottled Mexican sodas. They had a great salsa bar. I think we tried at least six. The California burrito with shrimp Did not scrimp on the shrimp. As a wanna be pescatarian, this was important. The Chile relleno was nice and cheesy. I love that they took out most of the seeds. The rice and beans were good. We also had an order of nachos from the kids menu. It was a larger serving than I expected. They were generous with the queso. It is the type of restaurant where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The restaurant had indoor and outdoor seating. It was clean. I absolutely recommend you try this place.

As always incredibly hungry after a long hike. We stopped here for a quick snack of chips and salsa and tacos. They have sooooo many salsa flavors here and you can choose 3 per person. I got the carne asada taco to go with the chips. I don't care what other salsas you choose...you must get the cilatro crema...trust me just get it and pour it all over your tacos. I also tried their pico and chipotle salsa which were also good.

Limited vegetarian selection, quick service, a variety of salsa, need better description,
