Tacos Chukis

Delicious pork and pineapple tacos! Try the nopal tacos too! There’s no sign outside but you’ll find it up stairs. Get there at 11 am no wait !

Everything in the menu is amazing. I wish they had burrito. I love this place so much. Best taco place in Seattle eveeeer!

Awesome place tucked away in the 2^nd floor of an unassuming building on Broadway. Great casual vibe and even better food. If you’re looking for tasty cheap Mexican food, look no further.

Oh. My. Tacos.
First of all, at how many places now a days is guacamole actually INCLUDED in the price of the taco/​burrito? I’m just saying, for $ 2.25 you get their bomb house taco which has their homemade guacamole but also, and most importantly, the little square of pure gold aka grilled pineapple on top. My second time back I didn’t even bother with anything else, the taco chuckis all the way.
These are by far the best tacos I have found in Seattle. The place has an awesome vibe, the menu is simple and the service is fast. And they have cheap mexican beer. So this is a 5 star joint in my book.

Great tacos, good prices, just go at off times. The restaurant can get hot and stuffy and uncomfortable if you’re waiting too long. The adobada with the pineapple was my favorite!

I would give it 10 stars if I could!!! Best little hidden gem I have ever been to. First of all, the location is so cute and unique to me. I’m from Virginia and we don’t really see places like these… Or maybe I just don’t go out often enough. Anyway, I loved it! The tacos were the best I have ever had!!! That says a lot because I love Mexican food. I am from Bolivia but Mexican food is my thing. The tacos, burrito, and tortas were so tasty! We loved everything they put in them. The sauces were amazing too! My husband said they were really good, and he doesn’t say that too often about many things. We will be in town for 3 more days and we will definitely be returning before we go. The place is a little small, but I don’t find that to be a problem.

The price of these tacos are cheap and they are sooooo good. The pineapple on top is an excellent touch. The taco chukis aka house tacos are fireeeeee! These tacos are flavorful

Awesome, cheap tacos.
Some of the best tacos in Seattle. The tacos are authentic street tacos that are small, but full of flavor. They’re simple with nothing crazy on them, but the meat is extremely flavorful. The menu is simple, essentially picking a type of meat and what vehicle (taco, burrito, torta, etc.).
The service is quick, nothing to write home about. Despite the crowd, you usually get your food in less than 15 minutes once you order.
The décor is simple and the atmosphere is usually pretty lively since there’s always a manageable crowd.
I have been let down a few times, to find them close even though their posted hours (online, on door) say their open. That’s about the only issue I have with this place.

I love street tacos. They’re my favorite. Im from Arizona and we eat a lot of them.
We were visiting our friends in Seattle and they took us to Taco Chukis. I’m pretty sure I would never have been able to find it on my own, as it’s located on the second story with little signage. But it is completely worth the hunt – these are some of the best.
The restaurant does not have much in terms of ambiance, but it’s a great spot to stop by for a quick, VERY affordable meal. Their house taco – the Chukie, has marinated pork, like, some sauces, and a piece of pineapple on top. I could have eaten 4 or 5. Instead I tried one of the specials, one chicken, and one carne asada quesadilla. I was not disappointed, though if I went again (which we absolutely will next time we are in town) I think I would order 5 of the specials.

Ahmazing. Finding myself describing every place here in Seattle amazing. but it truly truly is! And Tacos Chukis did not disappoint!
5 stars for the super delicious tacos and quesadillas!
Important stuff:
— Get the house tacos: pretty much choose your meat and then house tacos comes with sauce and cheese $ 2.25 each
— The adobada is delish and so is the carne asada!
— Quesadilla ~$ 3
— Cute little restaurant
Prior to my trip here, I had always sworn that the best tacos came from my favorite truck in East LA as well as any Mexican restaurant in San Diego… But all of my favorites have officially been dethroned… because Tacos Chukis is simply the best!
Not only do the tacos look super delicious… but they are super flavorful and as the bf said, «Finger-​licking good!»
Definitely make a stop here, you won’t regret it!

This place is so amazing I don’t think it needs another review! They have a small menu is that is absolute perfection. The service was within expected limits considering the line that went out the door. And they have both beer and soda! My only wish was for a bigger space so they had more tables.
I tried three different tacos: the taco chukis, chicken, and the carne asada. The signature taco was my favorite. I was surprised by how much the pineapple added another layer of flavor to the whole thing. The carne asada felt a little dry, but still delicious. Gonna ask for extra salsa next time. Even with three tacos, I was super full afterwards. It was a great meal at an affordable price and it looks like the entire neighborhood knows it!

Super affordable and chill spot to hang with some friends, grab some tacos, get yourself a horchata or a beer. The line seems like it can get long at random times, but maybe due to people getting in line in drones.
On my last visit, I got a horchata, had a bite of the house taco and got a quesadilla with carne asada in it as well. Both were great and I was satisfied! Items with nopal are pretty good too for those vegetarians out there. The torta looks very appetizing as well… I might have to try that sometime.
Back to the point of Tacos Chukis being affordable, I had gotten in line and ordered for a friend as well. When I brought her total $ back, her reaction was, «That’s it?!» Speaks volumes!

W O W. just mind blowing wow. I’ve never had tacos this delicious. I’ve waited to try Tacos Chukis and I cannot BELIEVE I waited this long. It’s a tiny gem hidden in the upstairs next to Laughing Buddha (tattoo place). The space is small but cozy and has both window seating and tables.
Now the tacos. I had the carne asada taco and the house taco (tacos chukis taco). Honestly I can’t decide which one is my fav because they’re both so good and have very distinct flavors! The carne asada taco has a deep smoky flavor and the meat was perfectly seasoned! It was a little spicy. There carne asada taco is made up of: thinly sliced steak, cilantro, onion, and guacamole! The tacos chukis taco was more spicy and the meat was a little more juicy. A tacos chukis taco consists of pork adobada, cilantro, onion, guacamole, and topped with a slice of beautiful grilled pineapple!
Come to Tacos Chukis. You will not regret it.

My wife told me about this place and eventually ended up checking this place out. Of all days to go happened to be on a Friday late afternoon during peak hours.
Sure enough upon arrival, the line is out the door which is a good sign that people are willing to wait for their food. We take a look at their menu to plan what we wanted to get. Keep in mind the menu list is small, like less than 10 items small. Yet that small menu list is generating long line of customers.
My wife and I ended up getting 3 house tacos (wish we got more) and a carne asada mini-​burrito. The price of everything was very cheap. For less than $ 25 we got 6 house tacos, 2 mini-​burritos and a Agua Fresca drink… not bad!
My first bite of the house tacos was immediate tasteful glory. So much flavor in one taco! The experience was amazing. Even though that one taco blew my mind I look down at my plate in sadness because I realized I only had two left… wish I got more. As for the mini-​burrito, it was good too but after eating one of the house tacos your taste buds gravitate to more house tacos.
So remember there are regular tacos and there is the amazing house tacos… don’t get them mixed up, you wanna get the house tacos… HOUSE TACOS!!!
Just a fair warning, the wait time is about 45 min to an hour to get your food if the line is out the door, but it is so worth the wait. I felt bad to the people that walked upstairs to run into a long line and then walked back downstairs because they were missing out on some great food.
Just typing all this review is really making want to go back today and get more of those house tacos.
Yes, its that great!
Happy Eats Everyone!

I had such high expectations for this place and was a little disappointed. Perhaps, it was because it was cinco de mayo and the line was out the door. I expect a good place should be consistent but for $ 2 tacos, fine.
The carne Asada tacos were chewy and a little over cooked. I would pass. The taco chukis was also over cooked but flavored well.
The chicken quesadilla was the best thing I had there. It comes with guacamole and red sauce which cut through the rich cheese & was a great compliment.
For big eaters, I would recommend the baby burritos which have the same ingredients as the tacos, just bigger. It does not come with rice or beans.
The horchata was good but I prefer it with a little less spice & cinnamon. I brought half of it home & added milk & it was perfect.

Kind of tucked away, you wouldn’t know you’re about to eat the best tacos ever just from the street. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and doesn’t have tons of seating, particularly for larger parties. (So ditch your friends and come enjoy this for yourself or with just one other person — haha) The menu is also pretty small — with a variety of entrees like a baby burrito, tacos (of course), quesadilla, etc. Then you pick from a list of meats!
The food is delicious. All the meats I tried were great, unlike other taco places where usually one of them is bland, one too chewy, etc. I would continue getting a variety in the future because I can’t pick one. Surprisingly, the sauces are quite spicy. I wasn’t quite expecting it but after eating my whole plate I was really feeling the burn. I consider myself able to eat moderately spicy foods just fine but for some reason this felt super spicy after a few bites! The baby burrito is just adorable for how small it is, but it was not as good as the tacos. The pineapple and salsas really make a difference.
All the employees I interacted with were super nice. I noticed that they are very slow from the time you order to when you get your food though. I guess this means they make everything fresh but the wait time is not what you would expect. Take out orders were also very slow. It was filled but not so crowded, so I would not come if you are in a huge rush and there already seems to be a line.
Compared to nearby Rancho Bravo or TNT Taqueria over in Wallingford or El Camion, this takes the cake (or taco?) for best tacos. So happy to have found this place. A must try.

If you’re visiting Seattle, this is a must visit! When I saw pictures of the tacos with pineapples, I didn’t know how I felt, but decided to give this place a shot.
It was a little confusing finding this place because it’s located in mini indoors plaza. This place is also really small so I can only imagine how packed this place gets at night or on weekends. Seating is very limited, and my sister & I had to wait a bit to even find a table.
I ordered a carne asada & taco chukis. The carne asada taco was $ 1.60 and the taco chukis (with the pineapple) was $ 2.25. You order and grab a number, then they deliver it to your table.
SUPER GOOD TACOS. The carne asada is beautifully cooked and even has a crisp to it. The guacamole tastes so fresh, and the corn tortillas are also on point. Everything about the taco was so perfect, and the best part? It was not greasy at all! Other taco places I’ve been to usually have grease dripping and oozing out onto my hands. The pineapple was a great addition and it wasn’t weird.
I’m definitely curious to try the mini burrito and quesadilla should I ever be back in Seattle… definitely on my revisit list.

Sooooooo dank!
This is definitely my favorite taco place in Seattle. It’s dirt cheap and is the best Mexican around. I’ve tried all their iterations of the meat and tortilla combos (quesadilla, baby burrito, taco, mulitas, cactus) and everything is fantastic! I have yet to unlock the torta, but the time is a-​comin’.
My recommendation… get one of everything!

Call me an uncultured swine when I tell you that I’ve never had pineapples in my taco before! I dare ya! Seriously, why didn’t I think about it when making my Rocakes Creations with my easy bake oven as a kid?
I’ve always imagined myself to be an 808 typa girl, so when I heard that the Tacos Chukis House Taco had pineapples with pork, I was like, «you guys just get me!». It is so dang true!
My favorite thing here to get with the Bae (hehe) is two house tacos and a torta to share, since we don’t like to overindulge too much! We’ve also tried the Quesadilla, house taco style and all I can say about that is yes. A million and one times yes.
Tacos Chukis is one of my faaave lunch spizzots in the Cap Hill Area. Check ‘em out.

I now have two favorite places in Seattle for tacos! I’m so glad we found it and tried it. While it seems the house tacos are the most popular we had to go with chicken and steak since we can’t eat pork. Well we were not disappointed, both were great. The chicken tacos were so flavorful and had a nice spicy kick to them that no other tacos I’ve tried in the area have had. My husband found the steak tacos to be just as delicious. I also got a chicken baby burrito. That was also fabulous. Everything is cooked perfectly and has wonderful flavors.
I was expecting a food truck but was pleasantly surprised to find a (very simple) sit down restaurant.
There is street parking only, but go on a Sunday (when street parking is free) and you will eventually find a place.
We will definitely be back.
