The relevant equation is:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

Explanation:

1 mol of calcium carbonate can react to 2 moles of Hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mol of water, 1 mol of calcium chloride and 1 mol of carbon dioxide.

The formed CO₂ is the reason why you noticed bubbles as the reaction took place
