Carne asada California burrito.
John M.

A great place for California style burritos here in Memphis. I had been to the other location and enjoyed my meal, I saw there was a location two miles from my hotel, so I headed over. I had the carne asada California burrito, which included fries within the burrito. I must say the burrito was huge and the flavor was outstanding. They have a little salsa bar with varying degrees of heat. My favorite is the green sauce, but be warned that it has a kick to it. The staff was friendly and the food arrived rather quickly, two admirable traits. This has become a place that I look forward to when I am in Memphis on business. They offer honest food, beyond fast food, but still a humble meal that is served fast and fills you up. If you are in the Memphis area, seek them out. It will have you coming back.

2 Shrimp Tacos (Left) & 2 Fish Tacos (Right)
James W.

We love to go here to grab a few tacos when we're in the area. All the Tacos on the menu are great to have, but the basic street tacos are my personal favorite. The fish tacos and shrimp tacos are both winners in their own rights. And finally, the Elena's taco is nice. As you can tell, we like their tacos. Can't say anything about the burritos or the rest of the menu because we've been fully satisfied by feeding our hunger with the basics. All in all, well worth the price for a good, quick, quality food. Just don't miss the turns into the restaurant!

Fish taco

This is what they're calling a fish taco. The piece of fish is the size of the top of the fork. Seriously? I've been coming here for several years. The quality & portions of food are steadily going downhill. The size of the California burrito is now what used to be a small. I went through the drive through on a previous visit. Ordered carne asada California burrito for my daughter. Got home and no fries! Not to mention it was small as hell. Also, now if you order to go inside the restaurant, salsa bar is for dine in only. If your order is to go, the cashier fills the tiny cups. Yes, the same cashier who didn't wash his hands after touching customer's credit card, receipt & the card reader. What kind of unsanitary foolishness is this?

Came here as a third wheel, ordered 2 tacos for lunch. One shrimp and one fish fried taco. The shrimp was really good probably the best taco I had in a while. I'll skip the fried fish next time. The guacamole was okay, kind of bland but this place gives you that San Francisco feel and price. My favorite hot sauce was definitely the Nina. Love that they play The Beach Boys nonstop.

Chicken tacos are terrible. Worst $7 I have spent my time here in Memphis. Glad I didn't spend a whole lot of money.

My husband and I just got back from lunch at Chukis Tacos 2. This was my first time eating here,…read moreand I will definitely be back! The food was excellent and we had a great server (Maggie) who helped us navigate the menu and the array of complimentary sauces. We ordered chips and dip (homemade) and this is not the standard bagged chips with salsa bottle. Crisp and substantial chips with fresh, flavorful, slightly spicy salsa. Really good! Maggie recommended the Birria Burrito with consume for my husband. Wow!!! Loaded with tender and flavorful shredded beef, whole beans, rice, and cheese in a grilled tortillia wrapper with a rich and hearty consume. He has a healthy appetite and still took some home. I got 2 alpastor tacos, which were excellent. Tender and flavorful pork with just enough pineapple. I alsi had a grilled chicken taco that was good, but not as luscious as the pastor. We LOVED the sauces. Yes, you got some mighty heat with a few of these, but they never sacrificed flavor for the sake of heat. Great pickled onion and habenaros, fresh crisp radish and cucumber, smokey, spicy dips. What is not to love!! Churos for desert, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Clean, well lit reasurant. Casual. Friendly service, great parking!! We will be back (and bring friends!)

Chukis Tacos is a must-stop if you're craving authentic Mexican food. Some menu items lean a bit…read moremore 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.

My feet were sticking to the floor, the toilets were disgusting, there was dust so thick on the partitions it was as if they had never been wiped down. The whole place had a grimy feel/smell to me. The food? No. My hubs got cheese enchiladas, the server suggested he add protein ok-chicken-these had to be the worse enchiladas we have ever tasted. The chicken had a funny taste. I got the Fresco bowl I think its called, no protein. Bland, the little bit of guacamole they had ion there? No taste. The flight of salsa was so so. Hubs wanted to try a margarita. That was the best thing about the whole experience. $70 later for two people the only thing we have to show for it was my hubs waking up from sleep later on sick-three times. He ate nothing else after our lunch besides fruit so you do the math. So yes, our first time will be our last. My daughter has been here with friends and said the only thing she enjoyed was her drink so this may just be a good place for drinks.
