Chuck's is one of those rare places that proves why some spots last forever and after eating here, it's easy to see how they've been around 90 years. The hard shell tacos are unreal. Made the traditional way, perfectly crispy, and somehow not greasy at all. Just clean, balanced, old-school tacos done right. On Taco Tuesday, they're $2.99 each, which honestly feels like stealing in today's world. The restaurant itself is clean, well-kept, and welcoming, and the service is on point friendly, fast, and clearly proud of what they serve. You can tell this place runs like a well-oiled machine. The menu has a ton of items I'm already planning to come back for, especially the huge burrito (I saw one go by and immediately regretted my order... next time). If you want classic tacos done right, great value, and a place with real history, Chuck's is a must. I'll definitely be back probably sooner than I should be. read more

Chuck's Tacos was recommended to me awhile back by one of my fellow Yelpers. Thank you Sir! You know who you are... our Taco Connoisseur! I haven't had a chance to try Chuck's until most recently when I was in the Upland neighborhood. It is three doors down from Circle K. Great little place serving amazing tacos and burritos! Inside space is clean with good seating. No outside seating. Restrooms in the back (key required). Menu had a great selection of tacos, burritos, and muchies. I wanted to try a little of everything from fried shrimp soft to grilled fish soft to chicken soft and hard to potato plus a refreshing orange bang to rinse it all down. And that's exactly what I ordered! OMG... every single taco was SO DELICIOUS with good amount of protein along with the freshest ingredients! The hard taco's crunch was different compared to other hard tacos that I have tried. I can't pinpoint it, but it's a solid good crunch. If I had to pick the TOP TACO, it would be the chicken soft taco hands down. Lots of flavorful and tender chicken chunks with my favorite condiments, cilantro and onions. That's all you need. SO YUMMY! Orange bang was good, but a tad sweet to start with. I had to add ice to dilute it just a bit... then it was perfect! Young lady staff was super friendly and nice. Food came out timely. Prices were reasonable. Free parking is available right up front of the restaurant. I can't wait to come back here to get more of their delicious chicken tacos and then some. I want to also try their burritos next time. Get your Chuck's Tacos now! read more

I got the nachos , chicken was gross! I ate what I could cuz I was already there and starving so I picked at the chips with the beans. The restaurant looks dirty, made me wonder what the kitchen looks like. Not a place that won my business but it was nearby and I try to give the smaller businesses a chance. read more

This place sucks the fries aren't even cooked all the way and the asada has no flavor and on top of everything else I noticed they had no onions and cilantro so I went back to ask for some and they told me they charge extra for onions and cilantro like what kinda nonsense is that its bad enough there is no beans and everything is salty and dry ... just avoid this place like the plague read more

Hello local foodies. I saw Chucks Tacos on Instagram. So, I tried the food. Absolutely terrible ambiance, service, and mostly the meal. The staff who took my order was sick. He also made the food in back. There was a mop hanging out in the kitchen. The restaurant chairs looked so dirty and unsanitary. I didn't want to sit down. My Togo order was salty and disappointing . read more

We usually love Chucks. Tonight it was horrible. The quesadilla had very little meat and cheese and was burnt. The fried burrito was burnt also and was almost hollow. No beans. If this was our first experience I would not return. Do better Chucks or you will loose your customers. read more

Ordered 2 carnitas tacos, 1 al pastor, 2 chicken crunchy tacos and 1 shredded beef taco. Carnitas were extremely dry, had to drench the taco in salsa, al pastor meat was basic, nothing to rave, not great but not bad. Chicken crunchy tacos weren't good, i was hoping for some shredded chicken but got taco meat chicken, dry, plain, had to drench in more salsa. However the shredded beef taco was GOOD! Unfortunately I only ordered one lol definitely coming back for the shredded beef tacos! read more

Chucks SUCKS! Why you ask? Well, because there service, fees and attitude is poor. I usually order from them on Uber eats and this time I called ahead and ordered and then picked up thinking I would save a few bucks .. nope. 2 breakfast burritos (which are whatever by the way) I get charged almost a dollar extra for using a debit card and then on top of it I ask for one little more green salsa after spending $22+ and he said he has to charge me!! "Only 1 per burrito".. like I'm in school with the lunch lady. Crazy How can you do that to a customer that just paid and not even give you an extra green sauce ? Unacceptable as frequent customer. Time to chuck Chuck out the window. read more

Small business he ran w his father. Now he's the Man! Great tacos and burritos. I had the chili verde last time and it was delicious.

The best chile relleno I've ever had! No joke. My hairstylist recommended Chuck's Taco. She said the Chile relleno's are really good! And she wasn't wrong. They are amazing. I did get a little worried when I checked the reviews. Seems like many bad reviews from people complaining about the price mostly. And a few bad experiences with the food. But I decided to trust my hairdresser (I mean I trust her with the hair on my head, so why wouldn't I trust her with food! Lol). Ordered the Chile relleno to go and a large soda. And it was tasty even via take out! So yummy. The rice, beans and sauce were a perfect compliment to the Chile relleno! It was really saucy! But yummy. And the soda was great to wash it all down. I ate half of it day one and ate the rest as leftovers. It was still good reheated and eaten as leftovers! So yay! :) I can't speak for the rest of the food, but you are definitely safe ordering the Chile relleno combo. read more

Chuck's Tacos - #13. Chile Relleno Combination Plate to go - Tacos Near Me - Upland, California

It's almost just like Los monitos...it takes me back in the best way possible. Located in Upland on the corner of foothill & campus. The enchiladas have that trademark sliced pickle and lettuce...the real winner is the hard shell shredded beef tacos. They have other stuff on the menu but I only go for the hard shell tacos and the enchiladas. read more

I have had tacos and burritos here. I am surprised I had not given this place some Yelp Love yet. My best sister and friend ordered the Fiesta platter for me. She called and said, "Hurry and go get the order, I already put it in for you." Luckily, I was heading that direction towards Chuck's as I did a quick iced coffee run before this! I like all the specials they have on the outside windows. There are lots of great food deals and a good menu inside by the cashier. The Fiesta platter was excellent and still is. There are so many appetizers!!! This included nachos, with sour cream, cheese, beans, and guacamole. I suggest you take everything out and eat this first as the nachos could get soggy real quick. Mine stayed good! Other items included 2 chimichangas, 8 mini taquitos, and 4 quesadilla triangles, as well as 3 mild red salsas. This meal had some weight to it and for about 22 bucks with all the cost, fees, tip, etc...so worth it!!! I walked an hour and a half earlier and probably should walk again tonight, lol! I took this order to go. This place was clean inside and out. Stop in and give them a try!!! read more

Our first time at Chuck's Tacos. We have been wanting to go here for years, and are now so disappointed in ourselves that we waited so long. We really enjoyed the food. The tacos were killer, the frijoles were amazing and the arroz was delicious! I am a sucker for potato tacos and this one did not disappoint. Needless to say we will be frequent "flyers" at Chucks and can't wait to try more food in the menu. Great job!! read more

Chucks Tacos has become my go-to Mexican takeout. I went on a random late night for the first time last year, and have been a customer ever since! It's a little place with very reasonably priced Everyday Combos. That's what got me into the door that first time. The Everyday Combos aren't huge in serving; I never have leftovers. It might be considered a snack for some, but it's literally just enough for me! What I've Ordered: Chicken Soft Taco (Everyday Combo): I can't complain! The chicken is nicely seasoned and I get just enough onions and cilantro. The rice and beans are PACKED with flavor! I'd have to say the refried beans are some of the best I've ever had. Asasda Soft Taco: The asada is a little tough (maybe overcooked?), but good flavor. Chicken Hard Taco: The taco shell is tough. It tastes good, but not worth how much you have to work chewing it. Cheese Enchilada (Everyday Combo): Sometimes the corn tortilla is just right, sometimes it's not soft enough, but it's still one of my favorites! I love the enchilada sauce- it's a bit runny, but that doesn't bother me. Their salsa is pretty good! They're very strict with how many you are allowed to get though.. one is never (and will never be) enough for me. Hot Salsa - it's HOT, don't get this one unless you LOVE super spicy. Mild Salsa - My favorite! Perfect flavor and perfect spice level! Green Salsa - bland; I've only had it once. Overall, I like this place a lot, and so happy I gave it a try! (I know I've posted a lot of Taco Combos; every picture is from a different day- wanted to show their consistency.) read more

Loved this place been going here forever but they raised there prices a lot and same small portion so sad bc this place was actually had good deals but not anymore read more

I went here twice "First time and last time" The house chips started off bad.. Overly fried and seemed like they were probably fried twice. The rest of food from beans to taco had very little flavor. Counter folk was not very warm. Wanted to like a new place in town. Guys ya need to serve food you taste first. read more

Terrible.... You always judge a Mexican food stop by the rice and bean. Shouldn't have to say more lol

I hate to leave such a bad review, but this is quite possibly the worst taco spot I've ever tried. Everything was bland, "hard shell" taco shells were stale, salsa has no flavor and fries were over-salted. Their fried fish taco had very little sauce and was basically like eating a hollowed fish shell. Taco Bell is 10/10 compared this place. Never again. read more

Six street tacos for $5.99, what a deal! Very decent sized street tacos for the price-choice of meats. I like the chicken. There were many specials listed as well that looked worthy of another visit.

First timer here! Moved to the area a year ago, have been passing this place since but never stopped due to the negative reviews. I've been missing out! The shredded beef tacos are AH-MAZING. They have shredded lettuce and cotija cheese that drives these tacos to flavor town. This area doesn't have many good taco places, so I find myself having to drive to Ontario- not anymore. The service was good, place is clean- soft tacos are good but the Hard shell are the best. My new favorite taco spot! read more

I love their taco enchilada plate. Been a patron since 1976. Previous name Los Monitos; owner was Chuck.

Honestly, depending on what day you go there, it is a hit or miss. We started going there because we live close by and they've been in business for a long time. We love authentic Mexican food. We started out with the Carnitas and Asada tacos and they were great. Then when we expanded the menu to breakfast burritos and chili rellenos etc the food was way too salty. We couldn't even finish eating it. So much salt that it ruined the taste of the food. Especially in their sauces and beans, the salt is overkill. We basically just stick to the tacos now. read more

Just left this place, the cashier is rude and acts as she doesn't want to be there. Mind you they charge 75 cents if you use your card. Most establishments will inform you first. She then proceeds to charge me including the fee which I questioned why then she tells me there is a fee. If you don't like your job that much but rude to customers for no reason then quit it. It'll help the owner and everyone at the end of the day. Burrito wasn't even that great as I expected today. read more

Chuck's Tacos - Fired Fried Burrito - Tacos Near Me - Upland, California

We decided to try this placed we have heard that the taco are great and burritos amazing, will I beg to differ. I got a ground beef burrito no lettuce no beans my burrito was cold the tortilla was barely warm. I thought ok maybe it's because of the cheese and tomato and took out a lot of the cheese and tomatoes and no the beef was room temp warm. We cut the burrito in half this half I was eating. The only good thing was the rice and that was a little warmer and the beans, let's say the cheese on top never melted and carne Asada tacos were ok. When talking with a friend they told me you went to early in the day you need to go later the food is better and hot. Ok no thank we will not be returning to Chuck's Taco,I go to Taco Bell or Del Taco first. Save your money folks don't go on a Sunday right when they open read more
