The Chubby Bean
3545 Portland Rd NE, Salem, OR
Crema's Take
“This Salem spot is beloved for blending excellent Mexican-inspired food with creative coffee drinks that go beyond the usual espresso menu—think horchata lattes and horchata chai that have fans coming back repeatedly. The welcoming staff genuinely help you navigate a menu that balances quick grab-and-go convenience with sit-down quality, making it equally perfect for a solo coffee run or a family meal. With both a drive-thru and a cozy interior, The Chubby Bean manages to feel like a community gathering place while delivering consistently solid breakfast burritos and tacos that justify the loyal following.”

The Chubby Bean in Salem is officially my new go-to spot. My oldest son put me onto this place and we stopped in for lunch now I’m hooked. The tacos are solid, the burritos are amazing, and the milkshake was honestly out of this world. Everything tasted fresh and packed with flavor. If you’re looking for a quick Mexican drive-thru that actually delivers on taste, this is it. Definitely coming back.
I love The Chubby Bean! I especially like the breakfast burrito and the horchata coffee. The staff are cheerful and helped me learn more about the menu, which is delicious.
I got an horchata chai and a breakfast burrito. I paid $18 and this was not worth it at all. The chai was extremely gritty and it was ice to the top I took two sips and the drink was half gone. My breakfast burrito had lettuce in it?? Never had that before it was weird and all warm. There was no flavor in the burrito no seasonings in sight it was hard to eat but for $18 i didn’t wanna waste it
Stopped by today for the first time and had the al pastor tacos. Excellent food. Sauces were also perfect. Will be coming back! I recommend this spot for lunch.
I went here a week ago because of some TikTok videos. I absolutely loved it. The girls inside were really nice and easy to talk to. Everything we ordered was delicious. There was a drive through and walk up windows. We sat at the table outside and ate. I'm definitely going back to try everything on the menu. Highly recommend everyone to do so!
