This place is seriously the best place for authentic Mexican food in Memphis. The al pastor tacos is the tastiest in town and the fish tacos are hand battered with their own blend of seasonings. The salsa bar is amazing and all made in house. Can't wait to go back!

In a city packed with taco spots, this one really stands out. It’s not just your average taco joint; it’s something special. From the fresh ingredients to the amazing hot sauce bar, and the super welcoming vibe, it’s clear this place is doing something right. If you’re looking for tacos that are a step above the rest, you’ve got to check this place out

This restaurant is seriously spectacular. I ordered them on a whim on door dash and overnight, they have become my new favorite Mexican restaurant. Everything was hot, extremely fresh, and outrageously tasty. They had so many house made salsas and sauces that are really flavorful and spicy!! The rice was authentic and the birria tacos are outstanding and huge! The menu is large and there’s something for everyone. Definitely a new Memphis staple!! I can’t wait to come and dine in as I know it will be even better! Which is hard to believe! Way to go!!!

I cannot speak highly enough about this place! As a southern californian now living in Louisiana, finding a great taco spot is hard. Everything coming out of this kitchen is perfect. The asada, chorizo, tinga, birria are delicious perfection... and the carnitas were so good I could have cried! Service was on point and everything was so so fresh!

Clean, establishment with fast excellent service. It has a shared parking lot and can be easy to miss based on it's location, but oooooh when you find it. They have a menu that touches all the buttons and the portions are large! All considered, I'd say very affordable, inexpensive even. There is also a station for add-ons such as salsa, red onions and carrot, etc. which enjoy! I can;t wait to go back. Very rarely am I indecisive on food and my order, but here there were so many things I wanted to try. I only wish they had a full bar lol.
Food was amazing and give you way more portions than a normal mexican restaurant!! Get 2 Chimichangas for 1 low price! 10/10 recommend!!

I don't have Tourette's, but this need to be said: TACOS CAMPECHANOS!!! Ok. That's out of the way. See below for rationale. Usually, one has to venture to Summer Ave. for authentic(-ish) tacos. And you still do, if you're looking for lengua or tripa or something exotic. But, damn, Chucki's does one helluva job with their offerings. The interior is eclectic. Seems Chuki has a penchant for thing automotive and with a typical Hispanic bent. It's welcoming though, and decently roomy for the 12-15 tables they have in there. The young lady behind the counter was busy for a Sunday afternoon, but welcoming and quick with a smile. The food: I had one nopales/cactus taco, for the hell of it. It was good, the cactus was soft and took on some of the taste of the grill. And then there was the Campechanos. Truth be told I went in for birra something, tacos, quesadilla, just something meat and tortilla and consume. Maybe some chicharrones. Glad I didn't. Food Writer guy I know turned me on to agohada, which I guess is when you take something porous (flour as opposed to corn) and drown it. In what you say? I don't know. At Chuki's, apparently, it's what ever is delicious. Slight spice, a little salty, flavor as deep as the Marianas Trench, it doesn't disintegrate the tortilla (this was the killer- the tortilla was integral to the flavor- usually tortillas are there as a fairly bland holder of stuff); it's the vanguard of deliciousness that awaits the rest of the bite. Which happens to be beef and chorizo...some fat (which, of course, is where the flavor is), melded together with cheese. I cannot understate the impact of the medley-ness. It just works. In most Mexican dishes, the ingredients are thrown together in the near ubiquitous tortilla and then plated. In this variation, the product is something novel, original, and the flavor does not disappoint. The salsas, at this point, where I had loaded up on six of them, liberally sipping them from the small cups offered (the arbol was very good as was the mixed chilis; the spicy guac was very good for a strained guac), became completely unnecessary. The Campechanos were that good- I didn't want to screw with the near perfection they plated up. All in all, it's not going to replace Guadalupana for me. Chucki's nicer, better, more savory, more convenient, and...better. It's slightly pricier, but the previous sentence kind of negates any concern I have over slightly pricier (a la carte tacos are $2.50 as of March 2024). But if the Ground Zero of Tacos on Summer has only nostalgia and lengua going for it, Chuki's may supplant it on my list. As an afterthought, and I can't tell you why I feel like this need to be said, Chuki's, in my somewhat educated experience, is VASTLY superior to Tacos Nganas. I invite your angry letters, as Yelp does not allow for comments...hehe. (So, your only avenue for rebuttals, fellow Yelpers, is to go to Chuki's, buy their food, eat it, and then drag your fingers across your phones in creating your own reviews...in which I believe you'll wind up agreeing).

Amazing food and service! We got the birria quesadilla and fish ceviche and they both were excellent. The sauce bar is an extra bonus and the ones we tried were delicious. We will make this place our new go-to Mexican place!

Sat down for a quick lunch with a co-worker. The service was prompt and friendly and the food was delicious.

I just got this food Togo, got home and started eating, and I'm already leaving a review ? this is some of the best food all around I've had in a while, and definitely the best Mexican food I've had hands down. The restaurant has an amazing vibe that I personally loved(the Gundam display on the wall was my personal favorite). Raphael took care of me and was incredible. I ordered the Steak,Cheese and Rice and the Bubus Burrito. They are both AMAZING. they also have a salsa bar with all types of salsa to try! I will definitely be coming back here very soon!
