1- Youre a moron. My grandmother would beat your ass if she ever met you.
2- Dont call my grandma an old lady, have some respect, dick.
8- It is a huge effort to serve everyone there. Do you realize how many people go in there? Do you realize how stressful it is? NO. I used to work there every saturday when I was younger and in school and its a stressful environment. I smiled the best that I could when I dealed with people like you.
I dont get along with the family and I hate how they all treat grandma but I believe in Karma. They'll get what they deserve. Nothing.

Wow, what a nice article on a landmark burrito joint. I too have visited the Chubby's on 38th the experience isn't the same at any other Chubby's in the city. The use of paper plates is the only add that makes them close to the 38th spot other then that there is no other. Mrs. Cordova comes from an area of Colorado that is beautiful Walsenberg, I know that area well, as my family grew up close in Huerfano County as well in a town called La Veta, there is something in her words of family and decent that resonates in me as something my own mother went through.. MY prayers for her family all 150 of them goes out to her, and a green chili salute to their future!.

Anyone who belives those other Chubby's are the real thing are idiots, their food isn't even close to the one at 38th and Lipan.
But I've got to say I go to the one at 38th and Lipan for the food,, not the customer service,, you hardly ever see a smile.. they all seem pretty pissed off that the place is so busy,, and they act like serving you is a real effort.

God bless Stella and her green chili. I was introduced to Chubby's just this past year and was saddened at how many years I had wasted eating substandard chili. I'm now a fairly frequent wee hour visitor--- I literally crave the tamales and of course, the chili. Danny's beautiful eyes and calm demeanor at 3am make this trip to Chubby's even more spectacular. I love the frenetic atmosphere in the lobby, the sounds from the kitchen... and... Danny's beautiful eyes. This Irish girl hopes they win their battle, expand like they deserve and that they continue to serve the masses with such class. The name of my company has also been ripped off by another.. fortunately they are in Texas... unfortunately they suck at what they do. It's not fun being associated with inferior products.

This is to bad the family can't get along. Leonard is a great guy and a great businessman. The Leonard I know helps everyone out in life and business. The only thing I can say is put your differences aside and work together. Your family can be GREAT!! Your family is GREAT!!

I love the place but let's be honest it is a crappy neighborhood. Is it really a good idea to point out repeatedly that there is a 99 year old woman with a lock box full of 100 dollar bills sitting behind the counter?

Thanks Westword for telling us all about the grey lockbox under the counter where the old lady put the $100 bills. (I'm really glad you mentioned it twice, or I might have missed it.)
Next time I (or any of my thug friends) want to make a quick buck, we'll know where to go.
