Delicious dessert.
Laura A.

First time at this wonderful restaurant. Service was impeccable, food was delicious and the ambiance is so surprising for a restaurant in Florida. I felt like I was at a ski cabin in Vermont. So cozy yet elegant with a giant stone fireplace. We will definitely be back again.

Conch soup. Chef's kiss!

Michelin Star Worthy! Chucherias *never* disappoints. We have celebrated as many anniversaries and birthdays here ad possible over the years. Chef is the *best* we have ever experienced, and the service is outstanding. Thank you, Rui, for making every visit a dinner experience!

First time there and wont be our last. This place is hidden gems and serves incredibly good food with great service and an ambience to match. Enticing menu and solid wine and spirits list. Our bartender and waitress were wonderful and we got to meet the owner/chef topping off an incredible eating experience.

Lobster machuca

Over an hour from when we ordered to get our entrees and they didn't even come at the same time ... (they should call this the waiting restaurant) $143 meal and the chicken breast came lukewarm and chewy. As someone who has eaten internationally all over the world (including Spain a month ago), and I worked several years as a waitress in fine dining, the service was absolutely terrible. I even politely complained to the waitress about the wait for the food and she said sorry and didn't offer anything like an app or dessert which I thought was crazy. Real fine dining they would let you know ahead of time the kitchen is extremely slow/behind (mind you half the restaurant was empty...) the octupus appetizer I did enjoy but that took 25-30 minutes to come out, had to ask twice to even get bread (which wasn't that good), and my lobster machuca I liked that the lobster was out of the tail but the flavor was subpar. Black beans were good on my fiancés plate but chicken was not. Atmosphere wise it was interesting that I was the only Latina visible (like no other Hispanic people eating or working in the front here...?) and when we first got there, there were several empty tables and the other waitress took a while to seat us even with a reservation, so the whole experience was very unpleasant especially for the $143 price point for 2 entrees and an app. I've lived here over 2 years and this was the worst fine dining experience I've had. I recommend to save your money and go to Chez Paul fine dining right around the corner- wayyyy better. Full review here: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPLFA91Tc/

Our Wedding Picture 35years ago.
Evelyn C.

We went for our 35th wedding anniversary. When we checked Open Tables they only had 4:30 & 5:00 pm available but when I called at exactly 4:30 the young Lady gave us a 7:00pm seating. Which was fine. We did not want to eat late. When we got there they had our table ready. Very nice Ambiance & the tables weren't close to each others. We started off with Vellamo Sparkling water since we don't drink. We started with the Pulpo which was tender & had pieces of potatoes. (I thought it was a small portion). The corn pupusa with slaw & marinated cabbage was delicious and enough for 2 people. We shared the Conch soup which was made with coconut cream. It was delicious. The chunks of Conch were not too chewy. For dessert we had the Americano Coffee & Sticky Toffee rice pudding with Rum RAISIN ICE CREAM & Sliced Strawberries. For our anniversary present the they gave us Two Divine Cookies with raspberry filling. Since we don't drink Champagne. The waitress was on top of it refilling our Sparkling Waters right away & taking away our dirty dishes. She bought over another Bottle of Vellamo. We were able to take it home with us so as not to waste it. It was a Beautiful Night with my honey.

Shimp Machuca

A Local Culinary Gem That Delivers Both Outstanding Service and Flavor! From the moment we sat down, this place had us hooked. The fresh Cuban bread alone deserves its own standing ovation--pillowy, warm, and served with a homemade butter kissed with cinnamon and brown sugar that could convert even the most devoted savory fan. It's comfort and indulgence in every bite. We started with ham croquettes and patatas bravas, and both were spot-on. The croquettes were crisp on the outside, creamy and savory inside--like a bite-sized love letter to traditional Spanish flavors. The patatas bravas had just the right kick, with a smoky, tangy sauce that made them impossible to share politely. For mains, the Shrimp Machuca was a revelation--plump, perfectly cooked shrimp swimming in a rich, velvety sauce that had depth, warmth, and just the right touch of heat. And the Prime Tenderloin filet? Impeccably seared, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and paired with sides that complemented without competing. Service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance struck that rare balance between cozy and elevated. Every dish felt crafted with care, and the pacing of the meal let us savor without ever feeling rushed. If you're looking for a place that nails the details--from the bread basket to the final bite--this spot is a must. We'll be back, and next time, we're bringing friends. They deserve to taste this.

We visited again on Thanksgiving-eve. This time we had a party of 5. I was very grateful that the restaurant was able to accommodate a last minute addition from 4 to 5! We changed our salad this time and tried the Caesar, split in the kitchen. Tasty! Fresh anchovies were offered and accepted. We had 3 lobsters with variations of sauce on the side, sauce without cilantro and regular. All the lobster was great. It was tender and succulent with that nice flavorful sauce. The potatoes underneath were so creamy and yet still had some pieces to bite. I was the only one with leftovers, and even leftover the dish kept its separate elements and tastes. BTW, they use real plastic containers, so I didn't lose all my sauce to some recycled paper absorbent container. We also had 2 of the pork. Both plates were cleaned. I sampled my husband's again and it was as perfectly delicious as last time.

The bottom line is that Chucherias is more than just a regular old, run of the mill restaurant. It is a local gem and a dining experience that is not to be missed! I made a reservation in advance, which is highly recommended. The dining room is cozy and intimate, yet elegant with its tables dressed in white white tablecloths. Somehow, the ambiance is elevated, yet not over-the-top with formality...a very nice balance, with a rustic hint. Customer service was excellent. The server was friendly, thoughtful by anticipating our needs before we asked, and knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients. A super dining experience! Now...the extra-special part...the cuisine! The food seems to be a lovely fusion of Latin and Caribbean tastes. I thoroughly enjoyed my slow roasted pork and the house salad. Others in my party enjoyed their meals to the fullest and were full of accolades. This is definitely a restaurant that has a standard of quality and fresh, authentic food. And it's definitely the perfect location for an intimate, special celebration, like a date night, anniversary, or birthday.

Shrimp with machuca and mojo pork
Danielle R.

Food was out of this world and service was outstanding. Every single thing we had was excellent. Andrea was the best server, so friendly! We are telling everyone about this hidden gem. Make a reservation!

This is an octopus concoction that was delicious!
Joanne D.

Beautiful atmosphere, Chaz was a wonderful server with great information and good advice. The drink menu is great and the bartender was perfect. I will be getting shrimp and yucca mash and will be looking forward to the new taste experience. I understand the chef is a woman and the owner. Who does everything with a smile because she loves what she does.Dessert! OMG yummy! It's a little difficult to spot as the sign is confusing. Look for the beautiful stone structure and go all around till you see it.

Fish Stew was fantastic!!
Heather E.

In my opinion best fine dining meal I have ever had. Some of my best friends took me because it's their favorite place (locals) and they don't eat out many places EVER because he is a phenomenal chef himself. Cannot wait to go back!!

A HIDDEN GEM FOR SURE ! Looking for an inmate time or just anything CHUCHERIAS IS IT ! TOP 5 PLACES TO EAT IN DAYTONA! Came here to celebrate a good friends birthday and first thing i said was HOW DID YOU FIND THIS PLACE! Fancy LATIN FUSION ! Everything is made to order and it taste amazing! The waiter was helpful on explaining anything to us. They have an outdoor & indoor seating area. The indoor is small white table Cloth environment, the door is huge and spacious with a waterfall. Everything we ordered was MOUTHWATERING! I love Octopus and order it anytime I can and this was one of the best I've had in the AREA! My friend for the mussels dish and said it was FIRE. Literally FIVE STARS because everything was on point, service, food, neatness, timing, location, atmosphere, & more .

The Honduran (Beef tenderloin with rice, black refried beans, and plantains)
Leon S.

Visiting from out of town we found Chucherias on Yelp and decided to stop by and glad we did. The entrance is in the courtyard of the building and it is quite beautiful as you walk up to the restaurant. Signage is a little hard to see. We ordered the Beef Turnovers and Cod and Potato Croquettes. Both were good, solid appetizers. They also bring out two sauces with bread. The green one is cilantro based and was my favorite. I neglected to take pictures of these as my intent was just to enjoy the dining experience. I ordered Chucherias Hondurenas. This dish is amazing! The tenderloin was so cooked to perfection. Up until this dish I had never walked away from a restaurant blown away by a beef dish, but this was the one. It was melt in your mouth tender. Simply seasoned to where the meat, au jus, and caramelized onions gave it all the flavor needed! My wife ordered the Roast pork, which was also amazing. I'll let her write her review on that though, but you CANNOT go wrong with either dish. My sincerest compliments to the chef. Amazing entree's. The service was top notch also. Attentive without being intrusive. Our waitress clearly explained everything to us, and answered all of our questions. Needless to say if you've read this far, you know that I highly recommend this place. It's ideal for a date night, the meal wasn't cheap, but you owe it to yourself to enjoy a great meal here. Local or visiting Chucherias should be on your list.

Dulce de leche cookies!

Seated outside, but that was ok on the overcast day, and not hot at all (and lovely views, of course). Waitress was very good, friendly and everything got served right and well. Small tip if you are into the fruity drinks--- they had special mugs and change-color plastic glasses for extra $.....but the drink amounts in those is larger than the regular. I paid an extra buck for the color-changing class and got a bigger drink. On to the food: we had clam chowder (good taste, according to the eater), fried calamari, peel and eat shrimp, and "crabby bites." I liked the taste of the small crab cakes, but the crab cake aficionado in the group did not (she has rarely said GOOD to any crab cakes outside of Maryland!). Peel and eat shrimp was quite good-- plain, without much spice added, but bigger than the shrimp at many places around here. Key lime pie was fine; not very tart but thick texture and filling, for sure. We thought/feared it might be more 'gimmicky,' given the name, but it was a solid seafood meal, for sure. Would gladly go back, if there weren't so many other great places along the coast!
