    Carne asada torta
    Kathy N.

    Cannot go wrong with tacos chukis. Their prices have gone up but I'd say it's still reasonable. Today I went and got a total of 6 tacos, a torta, a baby burrito, and jamaica drink for $33, which was enough for 2 people. Service was nice and I love the local art on the walls.

    Pollo tacos and pollo baby burrito

    Finding parking here is so hard. But it's worth it for the pollo tacos with cheese and pineapple. I wish they delivered!! Genuinely some of the best tacos I've ever had.

    This is essentially a taco staple when you're in Seattle, or at least something almost every Seattleite knows about. For this location, you'll most likely have to use street parking, which is rough to find on a Saturday night around 5pm. You order your food at a kiosk near the kitchen which you can see when you're inside. There's several tables to seat people, and everything else is self-serve from the utensils to the water. I ordered a multida asada, multida frijoles, quesadilla asada and a taco frijoles. For all of this, I was quite full and it ended up being a little over $18 after tax. The steak is done to perfection on every single one, and there's a hint of spicy in some of them, which I love. This place is both tasty and affordable in general, so this is a high recommend!

    One each asada, adobada and pollo taco. In theory, should be great. But everthing tasted dry/stale.

    Theoretically this shouldv'e been good. I really wanted to like the place because the "brand" is so well know here in Seattle. And the background story of how Tacos Chukis got started is great. But if I hadn't read about the restaurant's origin story, I would've pegged this as another "gentrified" taco place since street tacos have become mainstreamed. I've walked by and seen this place totally packed. But I was underwhelmed by the quality. I had one each pollo, adobada, and asada taco. The pollo was very dry. And the adobada and asada were not particulalry tender and seemed ovecooked. The tortillas were chewy, kind of dry and leathery. I kind of felt like I was eating leftovers. I did eat at a slightly off-peak time, around 2pm, so maybe they were actually leftovers from the lunch rush. I like the option of ordering from the tablet on one side of the restaurant. And if I wanted to order takeout, I'd take advantage of the online ordering. But I don't think the quality is there. Next time, I'm going to walk another block and hit Carnitas Michoacan which is outstanding. When I spend money of food I want it to be very good to outstanding, not just ok.

    I ordered 9 carne asada burritos and three of them not to have tomatoes, onions or guacamole and apparently they ignored my instruction.

    One bite everybody know's the rules Is it possible to tell everyone they should never come here so I can have the whole place to myself? The food, service and speed of service from ordering to taco in my mouth is still less than 4 minutes and I am very happy to announce it's twins... one more taco for my mouth. It's run by a few people who are off the chart happy and make super delicious'ocio food. W's across the board for my food.

    Taco Chukis & Chicken Baby Burrito
    Carol C.

    Love this location! Weekday lunch consisted of my go to: two Taco Chukis and a Chicken Baby Burrito with cheese. The food came out quickly, was freshly made and very tasty. This location is close to my work in SoDo, so it's easy to get to. There's free street parking, you just have to go look for it. There was a steady stream of people coming in during the lunch hour. It was a relaxing vibe where I got to enjoy my meal without feeling rushed. The Station coffee shop is around the corner if you want a coffee afterwards. Only negative thing I have to say is the soda machine was out of service, so I wasn't able to get my own glass of water and purchased a bottled water instead.

    pollo tacos (two right), asada taco (bottom left), pollo mulita (top left)
    Ryan K.

    right off the bat, i really liked the price of these tacos-- right around $3 per taco is excellent for this area. taste wise, i'd say that while it's not necessarily the best taco i've had in my life, it stands out as excellent for the price, with the meats being nicely portioned with a good texture. i was impressed with the guac sauce included and each taco goes great with a squeeze of lime. my only note is that some of the meat in the tacos were a touch dry due to the small cuts of the meat, but this isn't a dealbreaker for me personally. service: the tacos were brought out reasonably fast even when the restaurant is crowded, and i appreciate that they have good order ahead and curbside pickup support. ambiance: seating is nice inside and the ambiance is fun and casual. overall: this place scratches the taco or burrito itch while providing great value and good taste for that value! 8/10 for the taste alone, 10/10 for the price! also cheers to being the first place i ate at after moving to seattle.

    Tacos carne asada and mulita
    Monty H.

    Best street tacos in Seattle! Ordered the carne asada tacos and the mulitas. Flavor is on point with great seasoning on the beef, excellent salsa and all the toppings. I also highly recommend the mulita which is 2 tortillas stuffed with meat, cheese, salsa. Tacos Chukis is usually busy but they are pretty quick with the service. The place is clean with good tables and they even have a few outdoor seats as well. These tacos are simply the best and a must visit if you are looking for some of the best Mexican food in the area

    Lisa N.

    Tacos Chukis is just as good as I remember! Must visit when in Seattle. I got carne asada and al pastor taco chukis. Love how they have pineapple and guac!! Everything made fresh and tastes soo yummy! Service was super quick. Ambiance was fast paced. They had nice music too. Price is not bad. The meats were flavorful and juicy. I enjoyed my tacos and will definitely be back!

    Marissa F.

    Never fails, tacos were amazing!! A seattle staple, you have to go! Establishment is clean and staff is very thorough in taking your order, making sure you get your food how you like!

    Erin K.

    Visiting from California, I was skeptical when my friend took me to a Seattle taco shop, but the food here was outstanding! First and foremost, everything is made to order, and the staff is very friendly. It's a small menu: tacos, baby burritos, tortas, and mulitas with a few protein options, but everything they make is delicious! Also, you can't be the prices, less than $3 a taco!

    House tacos
    Celia F.

    My go-to taco spot in seattle. Parking is very easy. It has a nice informal and clean ambiance. The house tacos are the best. The meat in them (the pork) is very good. The house tacos also come with pineapple on top. It's a great combination.

    House Tacos
    Andrew Z.

    I ordered takeout from Tacos Chukis on a Saturday night, right around prime dinnertime. To my surprise, the service was super fast, as I only had to wait around 10 minutes for my groups food. I ordered the house tacos. The house tacos came with 2 soft shell tortillas, which I am a huge fan of. They were all really well balanced, with each one being neither too salty nor mild, with just the right amount of flavor and freshness. Each taco was crowned with a chunk of grilled pineapple, which I really liked, as it provided a nice balance of acidity and sweetness! Overall, the tacos here were pretty good, but a bit on the expensive side considering their small size. Would reccomend though!

The chile verde pork is so good, my wife, who primarily orders vegetarian, goes for all their variations, quesadillas being her favorite. This weekend is Valentine's Day, and while I am not with my beloved, George and Erika shared a sample of their new menu items, chilaquiles (heart shaped for the holiday) - both chili verde and chipotle. The other item was a stack of tres leches pancakes, with fruit. While all were delicious, I liked the chipotle chilaquiles the best. Good enough to make me consider mixing up my wet burrito with salsa macha in the future. So, we just came back from Playa del Carmen Mexico, where we hoped to have some over the top Mexican food. While breakfast was great it wasn't enough to outshine Fire Tacos. A waiter at one restaurant summed it up well. Everyone in Mexico makes good food, but the best of the best succeed in the US.

We got the same host and honestly he made our night. So funny and sweet. We also get the churro boat? It comes with caramel, chocolate, and whip cream on the side and it's the only place I have known to sell stuffed churros. STUFFED with chocolate, strawberry jam and caramel. It's the perfect dessert after some tacos to top everything off. I will come back here with the girls again!

Upon coming home and opening my food, I found that it was lukewarm and nearly cold. In addition to that, my order was wrong. Their phone number does not work so I had to come back in person to communicate their errors. They remade my food and gave me free chips and guacamole, but that doesn't change the fact that I wasted over 60 minutes of waiting and driving back and forth for a simple order of tacos. An incredibly frustrating experience for food that I actually like and enjoy eating.

However, it still tasted like it had a really nice flavor, and had a soft interior. It being actually spicy would've moved this dish up a lot, though each taco was primarily made out of this chicken - and there was so much of it it was practically insane - but I loved this amount shoutout to the onions as well - they were great I asked for the habanero sauce - which i thought was ok - wasn't spicy at all and didn't add much flavor. will go with another sauce next time tried mixing in some taco bell fire sauce which was interesting i love that these came wrapped in aluminium foil to preserve heat. a great touch overall, as far as taste, these were pretty good, but when you consider the amount of meat you're getting, along with overall portion size - it's simply a fantastic meal.

They have…read moreeverything you could ever want at a Mexican restaurant, and many that you've probably never tried before. I knew going in that I had to try their carnitas, but it was the other dishes that impressed me the most. The quesabirria was top notch. If you haven't had one before, it's as if a quesadilla and a taco had a beautiful baby - and the tortilla is dipped in the sauce that the meat is cooked in. The cheese is plentiful and delicious, it's a blanket that I've to take a nap in. I was a bit thrown off by the chunks of birria, most places shred it up. But I would say that it was much more juicy than the shredded version, I was blown away. This comes with some awesome roasted jalapeños and onions. The carnitas taco was excellent. For a street taco, they load it up with meat. It's a very traditional taco, so just carnitas, onions, and cilantro on a tortilla. But if you have the opportunity to eat here you should, they have an extensive taco bar with everything you need. The star of the show for me was the tostada de camarón. You just don't get them like this elsewhere in Seattle. Shrimp, mango, jalapeño, and avocado are all diced up to provide even distribution on a crunchy tostada. It's an exquisite bite every time. And there's a sweet sauce on it that makes the whole dish blend together so well. Carnitas Michoacán is a MUST visit if you're in the area. There's also a little market and carnicería next door that has some incredible food if you're making Mexican dishes at home, or if you just want some massive chicharrones.
