    Chicken Molita and Adobada tacos.
    Marcus D.

    Their Adobada is done just right and always has a generous chunk of pineapple. All their meats are flavorful and satisfying. They have consistently been on the best in terms of quality for the price. Which is more affordable than a lot of places. The tacos, baby burritos and mulitas are all tasty and the service is fast. I like how you can easily customize your order on the ordering touchscreen.

    Delicious street tacos and cheese quesadillas. The tortillas are super fresh and the meat is flavorful. Our friend got the tortas and they are huge! I'm definitely trying that next time, but I was very happy with my order

    Love this place! It's good for big groups, always clean, quick service and affordable. I've yet to have anything bad from their menu.

    When you go in you can either order from the kiosk or to the front desk. I chose to order from the kiosk because it's my first time there and the kiosk has pictures of the tacos. It was fairly straight forward, click what you want, take a number, enter the number into the system, enter your phone number. Go to your seat and display the number so they know who to serve. The only problem is that it didn't have an option to text or print out a receipt which makes it hard to claim meals. Tacos had a good portion of filling. The cactus one (nopal) was unique but didn't have much flavor to it. I really liked the ones with the big pineapple slice on it (taco chukis) The chicken (pollo asado) one was ok too. Love the salsa that they put on. There is free self serve water at the pop machine. And after you're done eating, you have to clean up by yourself - garbage, compost, and plates/cups.

    Once again, good ol reliable! Tacos Chukis never disappoints and as a taco enthusiast, I can safely say these are the best in Seattle. Coming from Cali this is a MUST GO every time I'm in town. I stick to the carne asada tacos and carne asada mullitas, straight 10/10! I love that they offer vegetarian options with the nopales and beans as options, my girlfriend loves the nopales mullitas too. Their service is always amazing, super kind and friendly to everyone. For a late night taco hunt, this is your spot! Tacos are fairly priced and flavorful every time. I'll definitely be coming back before my flight back home.

    Fantastic unassuming taco spot, great prices, good food, delicious beans, even vegan carus meat alternative option. Horchata was delicious. Quick service although I'm ngl seattles cashless vibe is irritating a little bit. Clean and found parking quickly.

    Beef quesadilla and an adobada baby burrito
    Christina G.

    Tacos Chukis is a solid, affordable option for Mexican food. I got the beef quesadilla and the adobada baby burrito. The quesadilla was filling with plenty of meat, and the beef was juicy, although I wish it had been a bit cheesier. The adobada baby burrito was also good, with a generous amount of pork. The entire meal came out to around $12 and was more than enough food, which makes this a great value. The food doesn't take too long, as the staff is pretty efficient. There's a decent amount of seating at the SLU location, and I've always managed to get a table. While it's not mind-blowing, it's consistently good and a reliable spot when you want something filling without spending too much.

    Came to Tacos Chukis with coworkers for lunch. It was very busy, with a decently long line but moved pretty quickly. I got 4 tacos which was the right amount for me. They were really good. Next time, I may go for the Torta. There isn't much seating, so we kind of had to stand around tables until folks left, but it all ended up working out.

    I used to love coming here until I realized they hired an absolute asshole of a worker to deal with customers. I ordered a chicken burrito asking for an "asado" burrito and ended up getting a steak burrito ("asada") simple mistake, I clarified I wanted chicken and should've said pollo before asado and that I don't eat steak. I had taken one bite of the burrito and asked if I could get the chicken burrito I ordered. The absolute dick pictured gave me massive attitude, refused to remake it and LIED to the cooks saying I just want a new order and I ordered steak and now wasn't happy. I clarified that's not at all what happened and the cook was kind enough to remake it for me, understanding the mixup. Beware of this minimum wage douche who thinks the food comes out of his own paycheck and will treat you with 0 respect. Thank you for the kind cook for making my right order. And tacos chukis - who you hire matters. This guy is not it.

    Horchata
    Christine S.

    The first thing you notice about this location is how clean it is. What a plus especially when you're not expecting much from a taco venue. You can order it with the self-serve kiosk or there is a cashier if you need assistance. Ordering was super easy. The prices are great. Food comes very quickly. Man are these tacos amazing. They are as amazing as they look. The flavor meat is juicy you get everything you need on these tacos. I'm normally in Asada street taco girl so obviously I got two of those and they were great but what was even better was the pastor with the pineapple. Guacamole has a little kick to it, which is perfectly fine that's why you have the Horchata to cool it down. Their Horchata it was perfect. Great in flavor, creamy, refreshing. I'm coming back as often as I can !

    One of my favorite taco shop around Seattle! Lots of flavor, great price, great portion sizes, love everything about this place. Highly recommend, especially if you're not from Seattle, I would come back.

    First time visiting on a Friday around 12:30 PM. We ordered ahead because we knew it was likely to be very busy and this stood true. When we arrived, the place was crowded, with most tables full and a long line waiting to order on the screen by the door. We waited off to the size and my predicted pick up time was around 12:35 and the order was ready within 5-10 min around that. The restaurant would be a good place to casually eat, as it is quite lively and popular. I ordered a pollo torta and a cactus taco. The meat/fillings of everything were very good! The chicken especially was flavorful and very generous. I'm not a huge corn tortilla fan but outside of that the taco was solid, and I love that they offer cactus as a veg option. The prices are great, especially for SLU. I'll definitely be back!

    Carne asada tacos & al pastor tacos

    Food - Piping hot tacos with good flavor. Many options of tacos and food to choose from. Can make modifications to food choices. Service - Self order is available and tables are self-bus. Food comes out fast and workers will bring food to your table if dining in. Ambiance - Casual place to bring friends or coworkers.

    Lupe's, imo, makes the best food in Ballard, and some of the best in the city. Its fresh, its…read moreflavorful, and you can taste the care that was put into it. We have eaten there a few dozen times, bringing pals visiting the city, going literally every time we play a show on the strip-- everyone loves them. The tacos are my favorite, but the queso is dank as helllll making the nachos another fab dish. My partner loves the burritos and quesadillas, though I-- a lover of the crunch --cannot speak for them myself. Are there toothpicks in the tacos? Yes! Not only are these two, structural-support toothpicks clearly visible, there are signs all over the shop about not eating them, and whoever runs your food out mentions them to the table every time. Even the merch / tee shirts tell you to watch out for the toothpicks. Its like the toothpick in a club sandwich, or the stick in a corn dog: you kinda have to want to eat it to end up with it in your mouth, ya know? Are the tacos greasy? Also yes! They're deep fried! That is what happens when you put any pouch-style food in a deep fryer: if it is not perfectly sealed, as it will not be with a toothpick, it'll get some oil inside. If you're not into oily food, maybe deep-fried tacos just aren't for you? As for the folks bashing the service: its standard counter service. If you want table service-- someone to wait on you, come to your table for more than just a drop off, etc --this place isn't for you. I worked in kitchens for two decades. Nothing about Lupe's Situ Tacos is poorly made or lacking flavor-- all three options are unique and flavorful in their own right, but the hushwe is an aaaabsolute dream, and the cauliflower is such a fantastic meat-free choice. Prices are on par with a lot of taco-selling restaurants, so idk what folks are talking about on that front. Mayhaps worth remembering who usually writes reviews on these sites (people who go once and like to bitch vs those of us who actually eat here and don't like yelp conceptually)~

Let me elaborate:…read more Upon being turned away from two (!) unnamed Japanese izakaya up the street at 8:17pm on a rainy Sunday evening, even though they are posted as open until 9pm, my little trio fell into the warm, glowing, hip-hop infused embrace of Lupe's Situ Tacos. The hushwe meat? Excellent. The carnitas are "out of this world" (ant Cowboy Bebop fans?). The guacamole felt home-made in the best way. My partner's spicy chicken tortilla soup was delicious -- spicy but not too much so, with a lovely smoky note to it. The service was quick and cheerful. They let us hang out for a few minutes and write our reviews and finish our Jarritos -- even after close. The ambiance was great: colorful, cheerful, and energetic without being overwhelming. The playlist was eclectic and very cool. We heard Lupe Fiasco, Deltron 3030, and hip hop from around the world. If you find yourself wandering around Ballard looking for a satisfying, cozy meal, you cannot go wrong with Lupe's Situ Tacos!

    This Goblin swears on all dark magic, that this spot has one of the best fish tacos in Seattle…read more Period. The salsa is fresh, the coating on the fish is crispy and light. The tortillas are fresh and full of corn flavor. The aguas frescas smack like my spiked club into your face. I first tried La Chingona on the road pillaging in Bellevue. I'm so glad I stepped away from the village burning for a second to try their delicious tacos. Is it more expensive than your typical Mexican Plato? Si. Does it taste better than your typical Mexican Plato in Seattle? Si. One other crucial detail. That taco will be buckling under the weight of the toppings. These are not skimpy servings. My shrimp taco was heavy enough to do curls with. Their service is friendly, and precise. To this date, I have never received the wrong order, cold food, a missing drink, etc. Expect hordes of people on the weekends, because you can count on one hand how many Mexican places taste like this in the PNW.

She was dressed in the most beautiful Día de los Muertos-inspired makeup and outfit, and she brought such a warm, welcoming energy to the whole experience. It really made the meal feel special from the moment we walked in. She took our order herself and surprised us with complimentary conchas on the house, which was such a thoughtful touch. As someone who loves Mexican pastries, that instantly won me over. For food, I ordered the pozole and it was incredible rich, comforting, and full of flavor. My mom and sister got the fish tacos and they couldn't stop talking about them. Fresh, well-seasoned, and just really well done overall. This place made my mom's birthday lunch feel so memorable. Between the amazing food and the hospitality, we'll definitely be coming back for both the pozole and fish tacos again.
