World-Famous


Green Chili & Smothered Fries 

Our smothered fries are a Denver icon for a reason... Because Stella Cordova invented the Hatch & Pueblo green "orange" chili recipe right here, nearly 60 years ago. This is where it all began. Often imitated - Never Duplicated.  We serve over a quarter million orders every year, drenched in our signature Hatch green chili and melted cheese. At The Original Chubby's, we stay true to the authentic recipe—vibrant orange chili with a kick, and absolutely no cilantro. It is the bold, Southwest flavor that made us a National Legend, located just minutes from Lohi and downtown Denver. Don't forget to add some chicharrónes - You won't regret it!
