First time here. We sought it out on Cinco de Mayo. This gem is hidden in "the alley" on the second floor in the back . You won't see it from the street. This oddly adds to its charm and authenticity. There is a limited menu and everything is excellent and affordable.. This is Mexican street food , think street tacos and hand helds like burritos, tortas, erc. The tacos are delicious.. we had the carne asada and the pollo asada taco deal ( 3 tacos bursting with flavor snd topped with sauce and a bottled soft drink ( including Mexican sodas in so many flavors) . They have several meat choices and prickly pear. You order at the counter or the digital pad off to the right. Bring cash for tip! It's not a big alcohol scene although they offer 16 Oz beer in 4 Mexican varieties. Modela, Tecate, and a couple others It is easily accessible by Capitol Hill station stop just one stop from downtown. We went before a show with ease. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite. First visit. Ordered a Asada and a Adobada taco (x2). Cool little Cap Hill restaurant. 2nd floor with enough seating. Either order at counter (which I prefer) or a kiosk. Grab a number and they deliver your food. Tacos were good street food. Asada was flavorful and the Abobada had a good chunk of pineapple. Staff was friendly and overall a good experience. read more

Open later and variety of items. Great spot for a late dinner. I've had larger portions from a Mexican place for $10, but the taste made up for it, so I would definitely come back. Nopales with pork and beef were good, I haven't eaten cactus from a sitdown often. Adobada tacos came with pineapple which is also rarer. Horchata was tasty and not just sweet. All dishes had a good amount of meat. read more

These were so yummy we ordered the baby burrito right after. Meat was tender, perfect amount of sauce and balance. The only thing I would change is the size of that pineapple on the pastor. A couple small slices would be better. The wrap on the baby burrito was so flaky and chewy. Highly recommend. read more

We got a few tacos for late night! We got the tacos asada and tacos adobada. Typically, I'm not a pineapple on savory food girl, but I thought it worked wonderfully with the adobada. I actually preferred it over the steak because of the pineapple! Maybe because we got it to go but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. But I may also be spoiled by LA street tacos. read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend and I've been dying to try it. It's a hidden gem right in the middle of Capitol Hill, you have to walk upstairs to find it. This place offers authentic, affordable Mexican food. We ordered several tacos and a quesadilla and everything came out within minutes! I highly HIGHLY recommend trying their signature chuki taco (especially if you like pineapple), it was my favorite thing on the menu!! :) I left feeling full and satisfied but not heavy. This is now my go-to taco spot, it used to be Carmelo tacos but the food and the place make tacos chukis so unique. read more

What a gem of a spot. No tips Simple menu Simple seating Amazing service. Good ass tacos. I am soo floored. A simple no frills taco spot, that has been an institution in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, was super happy to stop by. It's tucked into the 2nd floor of a bldg and so efficient and delicious. I had 3 flavors the nopales, pork and asada. It was incredible! Simple tacos with lime read more

I'm from LA area so I've had a fair share of good tacos. Will say I wasn't super blown away by this spot but it was on the better side of tacos that I've tried in Seattle area. Located upstairs in a corner spot. I tried the tacos chukis and the beef mulita, I really like the way they do beef here. The pork was on the saltier side for me but I did like that the pineapple balanced it out. Tortillas are on the drier side. Super quick service and efficient overall. You order on a kiosk and they serve it to your table. The interior is a stuffy on a hot day but for a quick meal, no complaints from me. Would come back for a quick bite or if I'm craving tacos. read more

I've eaten here once before, but I couldn't recall how the food tasted so I came around for a second try. Unfortunately, Chukis failed to impress... I'm a Californian, so I know what a good taco is all about. I had carne asada tacos. The tacos were *drowning* in garnish -- namely the guac sauce. I could barely taste the salsa, onions, and cilantro. Less would've certainly been more. The ambiance is great -- it's vibrant & energizing. The inviting atmosphere kept me at Chukis well after my meal. Ultimately, while I'm glad I tried it out (again), I would not return to Chukis for the tacos. read more

The spot is a bit of a hidden gem--literally a hole-in-the-wall where you walk upstairs, which gives it a cool, secret vibe. The menu is simple, and the tacos are really good. The pineapple Takochuki was decent, but not mind-blowing. Service is quick, and while the ambience is on the darker side, the windows bring in plenty of natural light. Overall, a fun little place worth checking out. read more

Got the Taco Adobada, Taco Asada, Taco Pollo. The Taco Adobada is pineapple and pork, similar to their house taco but without cheese. I liked this one the most! The pork was flavorful and moist and the pineapple was slightly crisp but not dry like unripe pineapples. The Taco Asada which was steak was my second favorite! So meaty and steak wasn't chewy and had nice char-like flavor. The Taco Pollo which was chicken was not bad, maybe I didn't get a good bite but it was on the drier side and mild in flavor. I personally wouldn't get this one again but I would get the steak and pork one again! You order on a tablet to the right of the counter and sit wherever you like. They have some tables and stool seating near a sunlit window. Definitely more comfy and house-like vibes. Order came out pretty fast too! read more

House taco is amazing. I want to go back so I can try the mini burrito and the nopal asado. You order on a screen and they bring out the food fairly quickly. I did order the Jamaica agua Fresca and sadly found it a bit too sweet- I would opt for a Mexican Coke again next time. It's on the second floor - they need more signage as I never knew it was there! Hidden gem! read more

Tacos Chukis - House (left hand side), bottom plate: nopal and carne asada, and top plate: chicken. - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great street tacos, mini burritos, quesadillas and tortas! The signature house taco is their Al Pastor with a slice of pineapple on top. Everyone seems to order it. The mini burritos are yummy too. Perfect for a touch up meal or have these items in multiple! Fast friendly straightforward service at the counter or use the order kiosk, take a number and find a seat. They'll bring the order right to you. Bus your own plates when you are done. This place is a little bewildering to find, as there are no signs for Tacos Chukis out in front whatsoever! Instead just look for the SUMO Japanese place and enter the mini mall next to SUMO with a bunch of smoke shops! Go inside, take the stairs upstairs and head towards the back. Worth it! Verdict: A great place for inexpensive Mexican fare! Yes I'd go back anytime! read more

Terrible experience, quality of this place has definitely gone down recently. Came in the other day and the pork and chicken tacos were extremely dry. I asked one of the employees if he could help me with my tacos as they also had guac on them when I don't eat guacamole yet he refused to help me. He looked at me and said it "it's not my fault". Horrible customer service. read more

TLDR: as a socal girl, these are great! I have also been to the capitol hill location, but this one is my favorite. The windows and corner spot make it ideal for a nice day. Service is speedy even when the line is out the door. Their food always surprises me ! The horchata and Jamaica are delicious (not too sweet) and their house taco has cheese AND pineapple which make it a delectable bite. Personally, the carne asada isn't my favorite ; just isn't as juicy or flavorful as I'd like. A place a recommend anytime someone says they are craving tacos. Definitely a must try ! read more

I came in here with lowered expectations as someone who loves tacos and is from southern California, but even then the food was very mediocre. Overall, the tacos just lacked flavor, from the tortillas to the meat itself. The asada taco tasted more just like a beef taco. The adobada taco tasted even more like just a pork taco, lacking any of the usual taste of adobada like the smokiness or sweetness. I feel like I knew it wouldn't be very good as soon as I saw the color of it and saw how pale the meat was, as it usually has a richer red color. Also, the tacos had very very little onion and cilantro, which was disappointing as well. As food, these tacos are fine, but as tacos they definitely do not hold up. read more

I've been coming here for years and love the upstairs location. It's like a hidden spot that is off the beat and path from Capitol Hill. It's refreshing that Chuki's is its own thing and a pioneer in the fast food made well taco craze. It's somewhere that locals will take friends from out of town and it's up there with Carmelo's. I really enjoy the nopal taco and the slimy cactus in transformed into a robust flavor bomb. Add the green salsa and it's on another level. The al pastor is always my favorite and the hand made tortillas just capture the leanness of the meat and juices. Portions aren't huge and there's the baby burrito. I'm ok with not huge portions as I often feel that some Mexican restaurants may over compensate for flavor with size. The horchata is nice and balanced and at this taqueria simplicity is king. The Beacon Hill location feels more communal and the South Lake Union location is more tech. Service is ok, staff don't seem like they go above and beyond. I'm still giving Chuki's 5 stars. read more

My favorite taco spot in Seattle that I love going to when I am in the area. I decided to bring my sister to Tacos Chukis since we were early for a reservation we had in Capitol Hill and she's never tried it. I ordered two of the Tacos Chukis (special house taco, with adobada pork, grilled pineapple, melted cheese, onion, cilantro, salsa and guacamole on a soft corn tortilla) and two asada baby burritos. It was delicious! I wish it came with a side of sauce, but I think that cost extra... There is free water for customers, but the water was a bit floral tasting that evening. read more

I am not one to complain about a taco spot's establishment because most of the time they are on a sidewalk and the tacos speak for themselves! This one is indoors and had no AC. It's okay but a good to know if you're not expecting that. The tacos were okay, I wanted a better tortilla. I had the asada, the adobada, and the taco chuki-- I'd rate them in that order with the house taco chuki being the best. It probably HITS when you're drunk read more

This place should be called Booger Tacos!! The dirtiest place to get tacos in Seattle Nothing whets the appetite like climbing pee-scented stairs into a building that looks like it hasn't met a mop since the dawn of time. The food itself was aggressively mid, but the real flavor came from the open-kitchen experience I did not consent to. Watching the cook blow his nose and casually wipe it on his shirt--no mask, no shame--really added a bold, mucus-forward note to the atmosphere. Nothing pairs quite like tacos and the lingering thought of "Should I call my doctor or just pray?" The vibe was less street food and more street immunity challenge. I kept waiting for handwashing to make a cameo, but it never showed up. Seattle has too many amazing taco spots for me to play roulette with my digestive system. If you enjoy your meals served with a side of second-guessing your life choices, this might be your place. I, however, will be taking my business--and my appetite--literally anywhere else. Would not recommend. read more

Great atmosphere, I love the setup & the workers are friendly and attentive! I got the chicken tacos and it's pretty good. I love the flavor, the chicken was a little on the drier side but whatever crunch they put in this taco is amazing! Would definitely go back :) read more

We tried the house taco, carne asada taco, carne asada baby burrito, and carne asada quesadilla. All so yummy! I think Tacos Chukis has the best and most authentic tasting Mexican food I've tried so far in Seattle. The servings are small, but since they're so cheap it's worth it to get multiple. Three baby burritos, for example, is still less than $15! Id say Tacos Chukis is a Capitol Hill must-visit. The service is friendly and fast. The restaurant itself is located in this really old building on the second floor. Everything is wooden and it has a certain charm to it. They have plenty of seating. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Whenever I've gone, there have always been lots of other people read more

Delicious bang for your buck! This taco spot is housed upstairs in an old shopping plaza - casual, somewhat minimal seating, but super fresh no-frills food. They have an order kiosk right as you walk in to order and receive your meal very quickly (and free water!) On the food - delicious juicy Al pastor with a generous pineapple topping and avocado salsa/onions. Perfect bite! I also tried the chicken taco which wasn't bad but didn't compare to their signature. The mini burrito was perfect as I'm always craving the burrito and didn't have to choose between that and tacos for the sake of room in my stomach :) read more
