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.

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.

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/

Shimp Machuca
Bo M.

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.

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.

No soap and just a few paper towels. Let the waitress know of the restroom situation but nothing was done about it before we left . Ordered an appetizer of Fried pork belly Cracklings ($17)with lemon. They came with limes and no explanation. The Cracklings were on the dry side but definitely crackeld. For lunch we ordered the Roast Beef Cachupus ($11). The roast beef was tough to cut with the sharp knife and just as tough to chew. We also ordered the whole fried fish (Fried Mojarra) $19. Unfortunately, the fish was also on the dry side. When the waitress asked how things were we provided our feedback and were asked "would you like anything else). There was only one other table of 3 dining while we were there so it was just us, them and her. No sign of a manager or owner to explain the restroom situation or are take on the food. Highly rated on Google reviews but just didn't "cut" it for us.

Years later, and the food is still what keeps bringing us back!…read more My husband is on vacation this week, so we headed to El Pollo Colorao for lunch today as a party of four. We've been eating here for years, and while we love supporting local, enjoy the atmosphere, and have always found the staff friendly, let's be honest -- the food is why we keep coming back. We arrived around 1:30 and had two groups ahead of us at the counter, but the line moved quickly. In fact, there was a pretty steady line the entire time we were there, right up until we left around 2:30. Their takeout business was hopping too! Despite how busy they were, we had no problem finding a table in the dining room. I decided to branch out this visit and tried the #14 Pernil Sandwich with yellow rice. The sandwich has roasted pork and potato straws on their delicious bread, and my first comment after taking a bite was about how flavorful the pork was. It was tender and juicy, and I loved the contrast of the crunchy potato straws with the pork and that soft, slightly sweet bread. So good! Two people in our group ordered the #2 Tripleta, one with yellow rice and the other with yuca. The Tripleta is actually the favorite sandwich of all three of my family members. They love the combination of meats along with the crunch from the potato straws. My husband is normally firmly on Team Tripleta too, but decided to branch out and order the Mediodia this time. We were told when ordering that it would take about 30 minutes and were given the option to change his order, which I appreciated. He decided to wait and was glad he tried it. He enjoyed it, but since he tends to prefer savory over sweet, I have a feeling he'll be right back to his beloved Tripleta next time. And, as always, he got his favorite side -- the maduros. Yum! When everything was ready, they brought our food and drinks right to the table on a tray. The gentleman who took our order was very personable, and Abel came over to our table while we were eating. He recognized my husband and remembered his name -- which really impressed me considering it has probably been about a year since our last visit. And can we talk about the value? We spent about $60 for four meals with sides, three drinks AND a bag containing two loaves of their bread to take home. Yes, we buy the bread every time. It's that good. Even better, the portions are so generous that everyone took about half of their sandwich home for dinner. They definitely don't skimp on the meat here, so you fill up quickly. The dining area is comfortable and has some fun, whimsical artwork that gives the place plenty of personality. They also have a nice assortment of drink options and seating by the windows for customers waiting on takeout orders, which seems to help keep the dining tables available even when they're busy. After all these years and multiple visits, El Pollo Colorao continues to earn 5 stars from us. Great food, generous portions, good value, friendly people, and a locally owned restaurant we're happy to continue supporting.
