    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    carne asada and al pastor taco chukis
    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!

    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!

    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!

    Takeout of mini burritos ($4) and tacos ($2-3)
    Wendi K.

    Tacos Chukis packs a punch for street style tacos! I would recommend the tacos over anything. ($2.50 - $2.95, +.15 for pineapple). The Adobada and pollo were delicious! Loved all the components including the guacamole salsa. Mini burritos are $4 each. They also have nopales, tortas, and quesadillas! Definitely get the grilled pineapple on top (a MUST), the sweetness makes it super unique! They're super fast if you order online. Packaged so carefully too!

    House tacos

    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.

    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!

    Tacos Chukis has been on my radar to try for quite some time, and thought that there was no better time to give this place a try when swinging by Beacon Hill on a Wednesday night! We went around 7pm and the location currently wasn't too busy - we ordered, seated ourselves, and got our food around 10 minutes total. I got a variety of taco meats in my tacos - trying the Adobada, Pollo, Asada, and as well as the House taco. All the meats had pretty tasty profiles, a bit smoky and seasoned well - I would say my personal favorite of the three options was the Adobaba pork! I also tried Mulitas, and I would say this is one of my favorite things that I have tried thus far here - the cheese is a delicious addition to a already yummy taco. This is definitely a good place if you are looking to try a variety of food - as it is only $2.50 per taco! It personally would take me like 6-8 tacos to fill up, and that's pretty reasonable to get that many for $20. I would definitely like to come back in the future to try the other options on the menu - likely the baby burrito or the quesadilla as they are calling my name. Come give Tacos Chukis a try!

    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)~

    Came by recently to check this place out. We did a late lunch, early dinner....I guess everyone…read moreelse was thinking the same too because when we came by it was busy. You order at the counter, they give you a number, go find a table, they bring the food to you. Pretty straightforward menu to choose from. We got the nachos w/added meat(hushwe) and 2 Pappas tacos. Didn't take too long to get our food, maybe like 10 mins or so. We got lucky finding a table, a couple was nice enough to finish up quickly so we can take their table outside. -Nachos were pretty loaded, chips were crisp, 2 types of cheese(queso and melted cheese), tasty jalapenos, guac, sour cream and pico. Meat (hushwe) was fine, it's pretty minced up into small bits. -Pappas Tacos were good too, kinda like eating mashed potatoes in a taco shell. Also reminded me of a thin shelled empanada. Shell was thin & crisp. Maybe should've just gotten the meat (hushwe) taco. Staff was friendly, prices were what we thought it would be, glad to have come by to check this place out. Don't forget to bus your own table!
