"The South Lake Union location of Tacos Chukis is more modern than the original in Capitol Hill, but the tacos are the same. Hit it up for a takeout lunch or quick group dinner before hitting some bars, and always get the pork/grilled pineapple/avocado salsa house tacos." - Aimee Rizzo
"At Tacos Chukis, you can choose among various proteins, but you only need to be concerned with the house taco option. Spice-rubbed and seared pork combines with sticky melted cheese, tangy avocado salsa, and caramelized pineapple. Sweet, smoky, salty, and tart, the house tacos have it all." - kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo
"Having come a long way from 2011 when owner Roberto Salmerón first opened up his tiny Cap Hill storefront, this beloved taqueria now boasts four locations and mass appeal among families, tech bros, and everyone in between. But just because everyone knows about it doesn’t mean it isn’t great! The star of the menu is undoubtedly the savory-sweet house taco made with adobada (marinated in adobo) pork, cheese, onion, guacamole, and topped with state-sized grilled pineapple for a tangy, juicy finish. For any vegetarians looking to add some “oomph” to meatless items, the pineapple also pairs well with the nopal mulita. Night owls be advised that only the Cap Hill and SLU locations are open till 10 p.m. while all other locations close up at 9." - Charlie Lahud-Zahner
"For around $15 (give or take), here are some things you can get at Tacos Chukis: four delicious house tacos with spiced pork, cheese, guacamole, and grilled pineapple, or three baby burritos filled with carne asada, or four cheesy mulitas, or two house tacos, an agua fresca, and a baby burrito. There’s no wrong choice unless you don’t do your taco-eating here." - aimee rizzo, carlo mantuano
"Unless your friends are from California or Texas where tacos are superior, Tacos Chukis is a great quick lunch option before launching into other out-of-towner activities, like more eating. The house tacos are filled with juicy marinated pork, cheese, avocado salsa, and pineapple, and we could eat them on repeat for hours. Even though you can smell nail polish from the salon across the hall, it’s worth it to sit at the little counter facing the window with some hot tacos and a cold Tecate. Always." - aimee rizzo
