Comfort food from SoCal! The Cali fries have a great texture and all the flavors. Tried the posole for the first time... amazing, just stays temp hot a long time.
Hot, fresh, perfectly seasoned & balanced - I could go on and on about the food here. We got our food within 7 minutes of ordering and were highly impressed with the service. I also love the self-serve salsa bar with many options! Make sure you get the green avocado salsa - there is a spicy version and a more tame version. Chuki's is a casual Mexican spot where you can grab a beer if you want, but don't let that fool you - the food is so high-quality and deserves its flowers.
This is a good local Mexican spot with quick and friendly service. I really enjoyed the queso - classic, addictive - and the chicken flautas, although I felt the chicken could've had a bit more seasoning. What was fairly disappointing was the salsa bar. Lots of folks raved about it, but none of the salsas felt above medium or maybe even mild. The "super spicy" salsas did not have much heat at all. Overall, I'd come back and try other things on the menu too.
Nice Hispanic eatery. Ambiance is diner like. Sit down ordering and eating. Lunch specials are good. Got the 3 taco platter and was very good. Messy week seasoned. Wife enjoyed her chicken tortilla soup. Friend got the 3 fish taco and those looked very good. Another friend got the chimichanga and those were very good. Got them filled with chicken. You can get them filled with different proteins. Good portion size. The large queso was good. Note that they have a small sauce bar. Note also that they don't offer complimentary also and chips. For us that is not a deal breaker especially with good food. Service was excellent and friendly. Will come again.
Can't say enough good things about this spot! If you're craving authentic, delicious Mexican food, this is the place. They have an amazing salsa bar with tons of options--from mild to super spicy. I wish I had gotten a picture of the guacamole--it was honestly some of the best I've ever had: chunky, fresh, and full of lime flavor. The service was excellent. Our server was so sweet and attentive. The ambiance makes it a perfect spot for a casual lunch date.
Went to lunch with friends. Really great food and cool place. The restaurant is decorated with bright colors with a party and happy atmosphere. The server was very friendly and helpful. Everyone was very nice. The place was crowded with locals and patrons. My food was seasoned well and tasted fabulous! I liked the large sauce bar that was labeled well. It had so many choices to try. There were small containers for multiple choices. I will be back to try some other menu items. We had a great time at lunch.
I'm still on the hunt for good Birria tacos here in Memphis. These were better than the last three spots I tried, but it still didn't meet my expectations of what I was looking for. the dip was really good, but the meat itself didn't have as much seasoning as I expected, but the taco had a really good crunch to it and it was a good size taco and it also came with rice and beans. I ordered during lunchtime so maybe that's why it came with rice and beans but I was really just expecting three tacos by itself but overall it was good. Just not the best.
I wrote a really long review here already and it is down at the bottom in Yelp jail. I am not sure why, I never got an email or explanation. Perhaps it was something I said... Anywho. The food here is great. I love everything I have eaten here. No free chips and salsa, but they do have a rad, well stocked, salsa bar to nab your likes of the salsa. There must be twelve at least. The servers are always nice. The clientele is heavy Latino. Love that I am a minority on most visits. You know you've found a good Mexican food place then! Food comes out fast, hot, and the way you want it. Yum. Yum. Yum. Yum. Yum. Yum. Yum. Inside is hard to explain but it really doesn't matter. The food makes up for the ambiance. Now they are all green and I am done with my second review of this place. '24 - 85/101. Getting this one back lowers the count biayches!
Walking in was a bit confusing, no one says hi, and I didn't know if I had to wait to be seated. Once I figure that one out it was easier, server was friendly enough and took our order after about a 10 minute wait. Food was delicious, I got the birria tacos and my spouse got the carne asada bowl. They were both really good, personally I would skip the beans here. Location has plenty of parking and it's pretty bright inside. Will for sure be back to try more from the menu.
I was craving Birria today and decided to give this place a try! I'm glad I did. Upon arriving u was greeted and told to sit anywhere. The staff was really nice the only thing was that almost every table needed to be wiped down. Luckily the server had the towel and spray handy and took care of that promptly. I knew I wanted Birria so I was ready to order and she took care of me. The food came out in a timely manner and it was so fresh and good! Everything was so well seasoned!!! Even the consume was SEASONED! the only thing they could've did was put more cheese on the taco but they def didn't skimp out on the meat! The tacos were stuffed. I liked how they put the sauces out on display I highly suggest adding limes to the line because that one little lime y'all put on the plate don't do nothing lol. Other than that i def recommend if you want some good Birria.
We loved Chuki's!! The Birria Is great and flavorful. The nachos were great. The carnitas on the nachos were very flavorful and not dry at all. The service was also great. They provide a sauce bar so you can add different sauces to your food. Tons of options!

Tried the birria burrito 10/10 And the salsa bar will have me coming back to try the rest of the menu read more
Chukis Tacos is a must-stop if you're craving authentic Mexican food. Some menu items lean a bit more Americanized, but everything is packed with flavor. I still can't stop thinking about the sauce station here. There's a private parking lot shared with the surrounding businesses, and the restaurant has around 15 tables inside. It is a good casual spot if you are looking to dine here. FOOD: This restaurant does not serve complimentary chips and salsa. It is $2.95 an order. 1. Torta Villa Carbon (4/5; marinated grilled chicken topped with grilled onions, grilled pineapple, melted cheese, jalapeños, and avocado): This was huge. I ended up saving half for lunch the next day. The combination of sweet and savory flavors worked really well together. 2. Campechano Burrito (4/5; steak strips and chorizo with rice, beans, lettuce, onion, tomato, and jalapeño): Steak and chorizo are always a winning combination, and this burrito did not disappoint. 3. Chirucas Chimichanga (4/5; two medium chimichangas stuffed with rice, beans, cheese dip, and your choice of meat, served with lettuce, pico de gallo, and sour cream): I chose the grilled marinated pork (al pastor), which was flavorful and satisfying. The server mentioned that the chicken version is their favorite. The service was decent overall, though it could be slow at times. I noticed a few tables waiting a while before servers came to take orders or refill drinks, and my drink was empty for a bit before getting a refill. Dinner service can get very busy, as every table was once full in one of my visits. Would I come back? Absolutely. read more

I don't have Tourette's, but this need to be said: TACOS CAMPECHANOS!!! Ok. That's out of the way. See below for rationale. Usually, one has to venture to Summer Ave. for authentic(-ish) tacos. And you still do, if you're looking for lengua or tripa or something exotic. But, damn, Chucki's does one helluva job with their offerings. The interior is eclectic. Seems Chuki has a penchant for thing automotive and with a typical Hispanic bent. It's welcoming though, and decently roomy for the 12-15 tables they have in there. The young lady behind the counter was busy for a Sunday afternoon, but welcoming and quick with a smile. The food: I had one nopales/cactus taco, for the hell of it. It was good, the cactus was soft and took on some of the taste of the grill. And then there was the Campechanos. Truth be told I went in for birra something, tacos, quesadilla, just something meat and tortilla and consume. Maybe some chicharrones. Glad I didn't. Food Writer guy I know turned me on to agohada, which I guess is when you take something porous (flour as opposed to corn) and drown it. In what you say? I don't know. At Chuki's, apparently, it's what ever is delicious. Slight spice, a little salty, flavor as deep as the Marianas Trench, it doesn't disintegrate the tortilla (this was the killer- the tortilla was integral to the flavor- usually tortillas are there as a fairly bland holder of stuff); it's the vanguard of deliciousness that awaits the rest of the bite. Which happens to be beef and chorizo...some fat (which, of course, is where the flavor is), melded together with cheese. I cannot understate the impact of the medley-ness. It just works. In most Mexican dishes, the ingredients are thrown together in the near ubiquitous tortilla and then plated. In this variation, the product is something novel, original, and the flavor does not disappoint. The salsas, at this point, where I had loaded up on six of them, liberally sipping them from the small cups offered (the arbol was very good as was the mixed chilis; the spicy guac was very good for a strained guac), became completely unnecessary. The Campechanos were that good- I didn't want to screw with the near perfection they plated up. All in all, it's not going to replace Guadalupana for me. Chucki's nicer, better, more savory, more convenient, and...better. It's slightly pricier, but the previous sentence kind of negates any concern I have over slightly pricier (a la carte tacos are $2.50 as of March 2024). But if the Ground Zero of Tacos on Summer has only nostalgia and lengua going for it, Chuki's may supplant it on my list. As an afterthought, and I can't tell you why I feel like this need to be said, Chuki's, in my somewhat educated experience, is VASTLY superior to Tacos Nganas. I invite your angry letters, as Yelp does not allow for comments...hehe. (So, your only avenue for rebuttals, fellow Yelpers, is to go to Chuki's, buy their food, eat it, and then drag your fingers across your phones in creating your own reviews...in which I believe you'll wind up agreeing). read more

Really good addition to the Memphis taco scene. Service is very good. Restaurant is very spacious. Loved the playlist (Latin music) the day I was in. We tried 3 different street tacos. Carne asada, chorizo and carnitas. They all tasted like very fresh meat. The flavor was outstanding. The tortillas themselves were fine. The birria was very tasty. The one knock, tortilla could've been crispier. It was missing that slight crunch from the griddling. Don't get it twisted though, flavor bomb and 3 tacos is wildly filling. The salsa bar was fresh, but was probably the least favorite part. We'll definitely go back for additional items. The torta looked massive! Give Chukis a try! read more

I got the nachos mexicanos with asada and they were very good & covered with plenty of toppings. The chips tasted very fresh. There was also a free salsa bar with tons of different options-- all of the ones I tried had amazing flavor. The service was also very good & our waitress was very friendly. The restaurant was very clean & it wasn't too busy when we went so there were plenty of seat to choose from. read more
A worthy contender within the area for great Mexican food. I enjoy the salsa bar which is uncommon around here, but a familiar sight out west. Beware, some of the options at the salsa bar are quite spicy--like the pickled cabbage! Even then, it's so so tasty. Their tacos and quesabirrias are delicious and don't disappoint. Don't sleep on some of their other plates though! Also, the aguas frescas like horchata or jamaica (hibiscus) lean on the authentic side. It's always pleasant inside with great service. I'll be back! read more
Chukis was a spur of the moment decision and I don't regret it. The food portions are huge. The staff is friendly. They had all the classic cartoons on. Yes, we still watch cartoons lol. Also they had cool art work up all around the restaurant. We tried the queso combinado and it was delicious! We also shared a birria burrito, and I'm glad we did cause it was huge. And the consume was very tasty and complimented the burrito. The tacos are also yummy and they have a million sauces! Also let me not forget how tasty the homemade chips are . I will be back. read more
Clean, establishment with fast excellent service. It has a shared parking lot and can be easy to miss based on it's location, but oooooh when you find it. They have a menu that touches all the buttons and the portions are large! All considered, I'd say very affordable, inexpensive even. There is also a station for add-ons such as salsa, red onions and carrot, etc. which enjoy! I can;t wait to go back. Very rarely am I indecisive on food and my order, but here there were so many things I wanted to try. I only wish they had a full bar lol. read more
