However last night I had the pleasure of visiting the restaurant on a Tuesday night and it was a packed house! Service was excellent, going above and beyond to welcome me at the door, take care of me throughout the evening and our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu. They were happy all night, a pleasure to interact with and be around. The food was delicious, I had an assortment of Tacos including the Baja fish tacos and Birria tacos which I recommend. They were delicious, well portioned for the price and packed full of flavour. I really enjoyed the Baja fish overall, they were fresh, seasoned, tasty. For the main course I had the Pescado Maui Maui. It was savoury, and it lit up my mouth with each bite. Rounding out the meal was the dessert, which were churros and Tres Leches cupcake. I found the cupcake to be better overall but both were sweet and scrumptious. The churros were a bit stiff and not as doughy as I thought but they still delivered. I'm glad I've been back to Chuuk and I'm glad I'll be going back to check out their patio during the warmer months.

The owner/manager was very helpful and was aware what items were vegan. He was super friendly as well. The inside was clean and tidy as well and it was busy. The food was amazing and what made it better was the service of the staff and manager/owner. We had three vegan bowls - a Veggie Soy Crumble (ground) and two Cauliflower Bites one made extra spicy and one regular. The bowls were generously topped and the beans, rice, protein were flavoured well. The sauces added a good dimension to the food. The Corn and Bean Salsa and the Mango Salsa were really good. The Habanero and the Chilli Maple sauces were outstanding. Specially the Habanero. Thanks for letting us know Cilantro Lime contains honey. Wish there was dairy free cheeze available as well. Guacamole was included (yay!) If we are in Pickering, definitely stopping by again here.

We ordered x3 fish tacos, x3 beef tacos, and chicken nachos. It was a nice change to have meat added to nachos without any additional cost. Were they the best nachos and tacos I've ever had? No, but this place does have potential. The chicken on the nachos was shaved from a spit and was beautifully seasoned. Next time I try this place I will go for the shawarma instead! The man we ordered from asked us if we wanted to omit any toppings. The beef tacos were pretty spicy - which we like, but if you can't handle spice, tell them when you're ordering. I preferred the fish tacos over the beef. The nachos were good enough and had lots of cheese and a good topping-to-chip ratio. Give this place a try!

Clearly not worth the price tag. Chicken Quesadilla-$9.99 - Again typical stuff you find in the quesadilla, but I noticed they use the chicken from the shawarma and put it on flat stove grill and chop up the pieces...It barely had any cheese and the meat wasn't spread evenly across the quesadilla.. - Not the worst but not average too...The highlight is their garlic cream sauce they provide with this... This place opened on Nov 14, 2022...Based on the food we tried for $25+, I'm not sure how will it'll fare but first impressions are important and this place totally fell FLAT!!!

We were greeted very pleasantly. It wasn't too busy yet as it just turned to lunch the waitress gave some really great suggestions. Even though our interaction was within with one waitress, it still set the vibe that everybody in this establishment really enjoys working here. The atmosphere was very welcoming and definitely set the mood for all the margaritas and tacos that we could possibly want. The food itself very flavourful. Definitely a great hidden gem in Durham.

The portions were very large for the price, with half my chimichanga burrito taken home at the end of the meal. I enjoyed the sides, they were there but didn't really stand out. The in-house made nachos were deliciously crispy and salty, pairing well with the Queso, Guacamole and Pico De Gallo. The Burrito as I mentioned was huge and expertly fried. The Barbacoa inside was perfectly cooked, full of flavour. I wish my Margarita had more punch though, it was barely noticeable in the entire experience. What was noticeable was the decor which feels dated from 15 years ago. Overall, decent, I would return.

Our 'old faithfuls' were still in the menu... tabasco combo and chicken mole! We order a takeaway but they are open for dine-in. This restaurant NEVER lets us down.

First of all, there are too many table and chairs in the restaurant area. So much so that if someone has their chair pulled out a little bit, it's really difficult to sit comfortably. Secondly, it is very obvious when they are busy the server (singular) becomes overwhelmed very quickly. We didn't receive chips and salsa as is normal for a restaurant like this. Also my drink never came because the person said he was off his rhythm. I don't think it's a rhythm, I think you have too many tables for a restaurant of that size, even without taking into account take out orders or delivery apps. The food I had was very good though. I loved the mole sauce, it was not too choclatey, and not too spicy. It was very well balanced. My partner had the Pollo poblano though, and there was not a poblano to be seen. I was initially confused why they had Pollo Con Mole and Pollo Poblano but no Mole Poblano. I think it's because there's no poblano used. At the same time it is the best Mexican food restaurant in Pickering.
