Tacos Chuckís: Tacos
Price Point
Score
This local chain serves up classic tacos with just a smattering of finesse. Its namesake chorizo taco comes topped not only with cheese and guacamole but also a grilled pineapple. It’s not a significant addition, but I appreciate the ingenuity, and the tangy fruit pairs well with the spicy meat.
Too, Chuckís’ use of technology is what a curmudgeon’s dream is made of. You can place your order on counter-mounted iPads without having to talk to anyone—the order will be served at your table. And, bonus points for the “babyBurritos”—taco-sized burritos. That’s proper gumption.
Over its decade-plus existence, Chukís has built up enough of a following to earn a Wikipedia entry, proving it has its share of cultural relevance. Enough so that, paired with its classic-yet-creative dishes, it should be a given stop for any taco crawl.
