Chúuk | Mexican Kitchen and Bar in Pickering

Delicious and fresh dishes. Definitely coming here again.

I dare you to find a nicer restaurant in the area...

The best service ever.

A welcome addition to the Pickering waterfront. The service is a little slow and the food is slightly overpriced, however the quality is great.

Great food and service and overall experience!!!

First time here. The atmosphere was serene. The beef tacos were multi flavorful., if thats even a word. The fish tacos were absolutely delicious, crispy and flaky. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. It was so nice to meet the owner who took the time to ask us how our meal was and have a little chat. Make sure you have the churros and co only based ice cream. The drip coffee was delicious, I put a spoon of icecream in it. Ha! Yummy!!!

Food was delicious and spicy and we loved our server who was just overall amazing to talk to. But this place was absolutely packed. It s a very small space for how many people go. I do recommend giving this place a chance because it truly is worth trying!

Excellent place. Great food. Great service. Great environment. Tequila options was amazing

Wonderful atmosphere. Presumptuous to make the minimum tip above %15. Staff seemed nice. Vegetarian options: Saw one or two Dietary restrictions: Staff asked if we had any Parking: New parking lot Kid-friendliness: Baby was there, no problem Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level. Spacey.

Service, food and drinks 10/10. Would be a really nice date spot.

Pineapple pork tacos are insane! Will definitely be back.

Great service, food and drinks are delicious, will be back for sure!

One of my favorite restaurants, never disappoints!

Amazing food. Great quality. Service was perfect. Will be going again

Amazing food and great setting. Staff always friendly. Food is always consistent. You feel like you are on vacation in a different country.

Love Chuuk! Great spot for after work drinks. We always end up with a pitcher or 2 of Pink jaguar margaritas. And finish our meal with Tres lesche cupcake and a yummy mayan coffee.

Disappointing, thought the food was very bland.

We had a delicious lunch at Chuck today. It s my second time here and I was very impressed with the quality and taste of the food. Our server was very friendly and helpful. Thank you!

The food , drinks and wait staff are excellent

Just had lunch here with my friend and the food was great. But I just want to give a shoutout to the young lady that was our server (I am sorry I am bad with names). She was very knowledgeable on all the items on the menu and answered our probably way too many questions without a hiccup. I always stand by that the servers are what differentiates a great restaurant from a great experience. Absolutely top notch service here.

Pulpo/octopus was to die for !

The margaritas and food were incredible. Im definitely coming back. The staff was super friendly. Tiara, Jamie and Chris were awesome hosts. Would recommend to anyone looking for great Mexican food!

Reserved the pineapple room for my son s 2nd birthday. Service was great and aesthetically pleasing.

First off, the service! Dining out is always a pleasure but sometimes service is lacking well, not here! The service at Chúuk has been consistently great. The food and beverages is also great. It doesn t help that the restaurant is vibey from the candles and the plants to the fun decor and wallpaper this restaurant has it going on!

The food was good but nothing to write home about. The guacamole and corn dip were tasty. Servers were polite and attentive. The tacos were a little disappointing needed some more flavor or seasoning. Beautiful atmosphere

A very nice, upscale Mexican restaurant. I eat a lot so this may be an unfair comment but I wish the portions were larger for the cost. 3 fish tacos for $27 is steep. Also, some in our party were underwhelmed with the flavor profile. Cilantro would have been a good addition.

One of the best restaurants in Durham.

This restaurant is a great find. The food was delicious, service was excellent and their cocktails were yummy. I will definitely go back and recommend to others. Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options available on the menu. Check out their menu online. Kid-friendliness: I have heard they are a kid friendly place but I didnt see any kids there. The restaurant was full of adults.

Amazing vibe, drinks made to perfection everytime....thanks to Mark and Ryan....the owner Chris is always walking to floors to ensure everyone is happy...

Good food, good drinks. No complaints.

Came with the family wife, daughter, and son. Looking into the newly renovated private room. It was a great experience as usual.

Ordered 2 appetizers and 2 entrees and they all tasted the same,charred. Was good but there wasnt enough of a flavourful difference between meals. Was hoping for more. Staff was friendly and helpful with selections. But again out of a salad, tacos, shrimp and grits. Charred. Mussels were nice though. Parking: Was super busy

The vibe of this place is very chill and cute. We ordered chips and guacamole cassava fries Baja tacos and shrimp and grits. The food was really good but the most memorable thing was our server Jenna. She was absolutely lovely and attentive to our needs(was having a dinner to celebrate a friends pregnancy) one of the best servers Ive had from any restaurant

good food and good atmosphere

Great food, ambiance and Jenna was an awesome server

I lived in Mexico for a number of years, and I love how delicious and authentic everything is at Chúuk (food and cocktails both!) The decor is very reminiscent of so many Caribbean bars/restaurants that I frequented that I feel taken back to Mexico every time I visit. The service is all super friendly and accommodating. The bartenders really know their stuff (I believe some of them mentioned traveling to New Orleans to learn some secrets at conventions). Honestly one of my favorite places.

I really wanted to like it but food is just ok for the price.

My husband and I come here often since our first visit in June of this year. We recently brought my husbands parents too. The food is always fresh, hot, and super delicious. Its extremely gluten free friendly too which is great! The chips and guacamole are a must! And dont forget to try their house made hot sauce! The menu is simple, but there is a lunch and a dinner menu with some different items. Apart from anything seafood based, I dont like seafood, I plan on trying everything on the menu! My mother in law had the fish tacos and really enjoyed them. The cocktails are awesome too, my favourite being the pink jaguar! Absolutely delightful! Will come back, many times! Dietary restrictions: Most items are gluten free, they only mark items that have gluten. Parking: The front gets busy so feel free to go a bit further around the corner where there is more space.

Gem of a spot in pickering. Been here many times, including with large groups for parties. Their food is incredible and consistent each time. Their mixed drink selection is delicious and their service is top tier, always smiling. Highly recommend it, wish we had more of this elevated experience in pickering.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. A gem in Pickering for sure

Went for lunch with a friend. The food, service, and atmosphere were enjoyable. We would definitely go back. Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten-free options.

Way too expensive for what it is Slow service Mandatory gratuity Not authentic, just fancy food Food : 1/5 |

The corn appetizer is the best thing on the menu. Giving 5 stars for Amandas service. Most attentive waitress Ive ever seen in my life-- efficient, warm and professional.

Great food, service was very hospitable, more like an friendly acquaintance, rather than a server.

Delayed review as this was for my birthday in August. The service and the waitress we had was wonderful! She was very attentive friendly and accommodating. Not only that she noticed my birthday card by my purse and offered a complimentary tres leches cupcake which was very sweet of her, to notice it was my birthday and say something without me having to say anything at all. The cupcake was the best (and I don t even like cupcakes) and the churros we got were great too! Describing the items backwards, before that I had ordered the barria tacos and my friend had the empanadas. Both were good but not amazing. The tacos I found could ve had less sauce as it was very messy and especially on my bday I didn t like that. The flavour itself though was ok. My friend felt she d had a better elsewhere. For drinks I had the pink jaguar I think it was called and my friend had the carribbean punch. Both were good but I learned not to keep trying things with tequila lol it s just not for me. Those who love tequila though. The pink Jaquar packs a punch and I m sure you d enjoy it. Overall it was a wonderful bday experience and I d definitely try it again especially for the desserts :) Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options. You re able to view their menu online Dietary restrictions: I m sure you can ask to have some things adjusted they are very accommodating but better to call and make sure before booking Parking: Parking is decent at the front the spots are at an angle and a little tight from each side when full but there s more parking around the back that s easier to get in and out of. It s still ok overall and it s free onsite parking.

Food was delicious (a little more expensive than I would usually go for). Our server was friendly and smiling, possibly the best service Ive had all year. Its a cute place. Food : 5/5

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Food

Went here with a group of 10 and had an amazing experience! Food was great, drinks were amazing and Tyerra was one of the best servers I ve ever had! Will definitely be back again soon

The best staff, the best service, the best food. It s honestly kind of difficult to find something negative to say about this place!

The achiote chicken is really good! I love the avocado and plaintain that it comes with.

Love this restaurant. The decor is simple, clean with natural accents. Food was great. Fresh, flavourful and authentic tasting.

Very kind staff, beautiful atmosphere, food is mostly delicious but a bit too heavy on the salt in some dishes. Pricey, but very good overall.

Super cool and trendy place. Amazing Street corn and good tacos. Will definitely go back to try more cocktails.

Yum yum foods

A hidden gem in Pickering if you love Mexican food must try

I love this restaurant. It s disappointing to read a single negative review because the complaints come from a misunderstanding. The owner is so kind and truly cares about the clients. The menu is simple and that guarantees quality. Fish tacos take longer. Everyone knows that, you wouldn t want uncooked fish.. the drinks are glorious, my personal favorite is the pink margarita. my family and close friends all come here for any occasion! Anyone who hates on this place is a Karen

I didn t dine in but took it to go on a Friday afternoon. The fish tacos lacked flavour and seasoning and the corn tasted off. Expected way more considering the price point, $45 for just those 2 items. It s a shame because the restaurant does have great decor/ambiance.

I love the food. We tried the torta and margaritas and definitely will go back. I think they might improve a little the dessert menu. We tried the flan and it didnt have a texture for a flan and churros were not super. Everything else was yummi and service as well.

Always a good time!

The service is nice, the food is bad, I ordered tacos with pork, they brought hard stones (pork) in a raw pita bread of an incomprehensible taste, strange appearance. And my friends chicken was raw in the middle.

Food was great! Service not great. Price borderline outrageous for the portion size. Lot better Mexican food options throughout Durham and the GTA at much more reasonable prices.

Nice place

Chuuk delivers a memorable dining experience with its emphasis on fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors. The guacamole at Chuuk is a must-try, featuring ripe avocados mixed with just the right amount of lime and spice. The tacos are similarly impressive, with tortillas that are made fresh and fillings that burst with flavor. The tuna tartare is exceptionally fresh, with the delicate fish paired with a zesty dressing that enhances its natural taste. The achiote chicken stands out with its tender, well-marinated meat and robust flavor, making each bite a pleasure. The service at Chuuk is top-notch. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, making sure that every aspect of the meal is enjoyable. The restaurant s atmosphere is both inviting and stylish, providing a comfortable setting for a casual meal or a special night out. The cocktail menu is a delightful addition, offering a range of creative and expertly crafted drinks that complement the food perfectly. From refreshing classics to innovative new creations, the cocktails add an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal. The only small issue was a brief wait for the main courses, but this was easily overlooked given the quality of the food and the excellent service. Overall, Chuuk is a fantastic dining destination that combines fresh ingredients, superb service, and a welcoming atmosphere, earning it a well-deserved 4.5 stars

Salt??

Been going here for years! Guacamole, margaritas, and tacos or shareables. Crowd pleaser for sure. Something for everyone.

Good food

Great food and service. Definitely coming back!

Cool little spot for some excellent margaritas and tasty Mexican treats. Nice patio and calming, yet funky interior.

SIMONE was wonderful food was delicious

Came here my chance and I have to say it was phenomenal! The atmosphere is really elevated and it s a great place to grab a drink and chat with friends.

Food and the vibe here is amazing ! Margaritas are to die for. Loved everything we ate here. Their churros and tacos are one of the best that I have had in GTA ! Food

Im not generally excited by Mexican cuisine, but I very much enjoyed our dinner at Chuuk. All of the food was delicious and the service was welcoming and prompt. We asked our waitress for recos and these didnt disappoint. We started with the street corn and cassava fries as appetizers, followed by fish, pulled pork and braised beef tacos. Dessert was churros with ice cream. We liked the beef the most, all of the tacos were very good, though. Kid-friendliness: We went for a date night but asked if they have a kids menu, our waitress replied that they offer a number of dishes for kids, just dont show them on the menu.

Such a nice place! Really nice atmosphere. Our server was really friendly and polite, food & drink was delicious :)

Great hidden gem, the ambience is great and the food and drinks were fantastic. Service was overall good, but a little slow on topping up water and drinks.

Dog-friendly patio, which is a big plus! I had the vegan taco, which was spicy and delicious, and we shared a guac and kombucha. I will come back. Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian options are available

Mexican fare with a modern twist.

Great place, food was amazing and atmosphere super!!!!

Dined at Chuuk tonight for the second time and we had such a lovely evening. We were served by Amanda and she was on top of everything! We had a couple margaritas, the fresh guacomole and chip, Birria tacos, fish tacos and dessert. The atmosphere was amazing, perfect date night spot!

Went for dinner on Saturday night and was really impressed. The staff are attentive and friendly, and the restaurant is very clean and well designed. The drink menu has a lot of great options that complement the food well. Everything was delicious and fresh. Each dish is carefully plated and are visually impressive. The portions are perfect and the prices are very reasonable. I can t wait to go back.

The place is so beautiful perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. We loved our food and drinks. The cocktails we got were some of the best we ever had!

Finally a date night spot in the east that makes you feel like you are in the city. Higher than normal price point, but worth it to not have to drive downtown. The cocktails are amazing and appetizers shared were perfect. The Cassava fries were a hit and ordered twice once the first batch disappeared quickly. We got seated in the Pineapple Room which had a large party of 15+ at the time. It was LOUD. But if youre ok with that, I wouldnt let that deter you. The covered patio is also a great option. Covered and youdont feel like you are sitting in the parking lot. The Birria and Fish tacos were our favourite. And the cocktails! Chefs kiss! We were there late and unfortunately they had run out of churros for dessert. Will have to try again to try them. Overall, we will be back to try other menu items. Parking: Free parking but the lot may be difficult to get in and out as the front of the restaurant is tight.

Fantastic food and excellent experience. Had the roasted beets and Sikil Pak and the tuna crudo along with the Birria tacos. Everything was delicious!

Great staff, lovely decor, food overpriced and mediocre for the price point. Go for the ambiance, not for the meal.

Staff really friendly. Great service, food was very tasty, unique flavors.

Their service was very friendly! But the dishes were a bit lacking, especially for their price point. The pork in the pork belly tacos were a bit over done, the other tacos tasted a bit on the simple side, the flan tasted and had the consistency of a cheesecake. The apps were really great though, especially the cassava fries and crudo de átun. We appreciated the vegan options as well as the option to make cocktails into mocktails. Some things I would have enjoyed for the tacos - double tortilla - red/green salsa and limes to share What I love about this place is their ambience - its decorated so beautifully. Also, some of the ingredients used are local/sustainable, which is always a plus!

Love the food and service here! Their birria tacos were amazing!

Choosing Chuuk for our second wedding anniversary dinner was the best decision!! The food was so good! The service and ambiance were exceptional! Thank you Chuuk for making our special day extra special with the little surprise! Food : 5/5

Food was a bit salty but overall We had a good time. Thanks Jaime/female server for the accommodation. Food

It was a great experience. We had amazing service, I got the vegan tacos, which were great, my date got the shredded beef tacos- they were beyond phenominal. I wouldnt get the Mexican fries again though, they were very dry potatoey. LOVED the overall vibe.

Good experience and atmosphere

Hidden gem in Pickering. Its the favourite restaurant for my wife and I on a date night if we dont want to venture into the city for great food and atmosphere. I feel like Im on vacation, every time I eat here!

The appetizers were great (guacamole, fried cassava, street corn) and the margaritas were strong and tasty (the spicy one was v good). I had the fish tacos, they were delicious. However they got soggy very quickly and thus the structural integrity was not maintained Atmosphere was alright, it was very busy when we got there around 7. But by 9 is was mostly empty. Strange. We had a new server who was obviously in training. I didnt get her name but she was nice, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and helped us pick drinks that we liked. She was amazing Will be back!

Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere. We went fir dinner, need to make reservations because they are always busy

Amazing place!! Food! Dessert! Drink! Alll fanastic!! Recommend you for sure to go you will enjoy! Simone got us perfect service! She is lovely and patience, thank you Simone

Simone was awesome and we received a very good service .

I love it here! The food is awesome , so are the vibes and the staff!

Chuuk just hosted 14 of us for my girlfriends birthday, and everything from the food to the service was absolutely impeccable! It was a truly memorable experience and I couldnt be more grateful. Everything was so smooth and our waitress delivered on every front. I highly recommend Chuuk for anyone that loves Mexican food, great cocktails, and even better service! Thank you so much for everything.

Amaaaazing food!! Cant wait to go back!

Slow cooked beef is great. Other dishes are mediocre. Great service and decoration. Food

The place is super cute and it s amazing to have a Mexican food option not downtown. Service was good. I took off a star because I wish the food arrived hot at our table but unfortunately it was room temp. It wasn t busy so I was shocked. Otherwise, great spot for a date night or a night out with friends for some yummy Mexican dishes.

I enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere. A little pricey for the drinks (had a margarita) and it s wasn t that great.

Delicious!

Love this place, always look forward to visiting and sharing their amazing food with friends.

Amazing restaurant with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely go back again. Vegetarian options: Street corn was my favorite.

Customer service is as good as it gets, and the atmosphere and decor is first class, but sadly, the food was a letdown, in my opinion. We took the waiters recommendations and ordered the guacamole, baja fish tacos, and birria tacos. The food lacked authentic Mexican flavors and had no acidity. The food needs more attention in my humble opinion. I gave the restaurant 4 stars because of the outstanding customer service, the ambiance, and just amazing workers that really take care of their customers. They also dont have decent hot sauces to kick it up a notch. My expectations of Mexican restaurants are high, and sadly, for the price, the food was disappointing. The portion size is decent. In my opinion, stick with the order of two tacos because the extra charge to make it 3 is not worth it. The citrus and honey drink was wonderful. Give them a try and judge for yourself, not going to be a go-to place for me. Great place to hang out with friends though, and catch up over a few drinks. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian tacos available. Parking: Plenty free parking available. Kid-friendliness: No kids menu. We ordered the marinated chicken pieces on the side for our toddler $7.

Our recent experience at this restaurant was profoundly disappointing. The waitresss clear disdain for her job resulted in minimal service for our party of six. At the end of the evening, we were presented with a bill that included an automatic gratuity, contrary to the restaurants policy of applying such charges only to groups of eight or more, as stated on their website and menus. We contested this with the waiter who said it the menu and website both were not updated to reflect this information. This practice is misleading, and combined with the subpar quality of the food given the high prices, it left a sour taste in our mouths. This establishment significantly marred my sisters birthday celebration. I cannot recommend this place.

Server was great. Patio is nice. Good food, gourmet mexican idea, a bit on the pricey side IMO

Great atmosphere, friendly service and Good food. I would recommend a visit to Chuuk.

I love this place! The decor is just beautiful. The drinks are so delicious! I honestly dont think that there is a bad choice of drink on the menu at all. We tried many. You can take out margaritas or any other drink in a to-go container to go home. The food was superb. Very fresh and high quality. The yuca frite are absolutely amazing & were good enough to fool my toddler into thinking they were regular fries. The staff was great, very kind and courteous. Its a little expensive but worth it!

Gorgeous patio. Lots of shade available making for a very comfortable experience. Well behaved dogs are allowed on the patio. Nicest staff! Very accommodating and brought out a little water dish for my pooch. Highly recommend the birria tacos, the brisket is so tender and flavorful. Really nice dining experience in Pickering!

Best spot in Pickering, I take all my friends here! Highly recommend the tuna crudo

Extremely overpriced. This is Pickering with Pickering rent, but they re charging the same as somewhere like Xola in Toronto - and the food isn t as good or even authentic.

Great place to eat, had my sister s surprise birthday party dinner. The setup was perfect in the back as we were a large group. The service was quick & staff were friendly.

We hosted my bridal party in The Pineapple Room at Chúuk and it was fantastic! The food, drinks, and service was amazing. Chris, Jayden and Amanda were so great to work with on the planning, and extremely helpful on the day of the event. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend Chúuk for a meal or an event!

The spot was a nice evening vibe with friends. The food was great especially the birria tacos. The host treated us like royalty with great suggestions and a wisdom to his approach. Definitely recommend

Overall experience 4 star, had a fun evening with my partner. The cassava appetizer was a bomb Unfortunately we could not get some drinks on the menu and I understand those are imported. Will definitely visit in the summer to enjoy the patio

Chuuk is an amazing place and hidden gem in Durham region! Their drinks are amazing, and their food is always delicious. You truly feel like you are on King St West in Toronto. I highly recommend their margaritas, fish tacos, achiote chicken dish, and beef tacos! Be sure to make a reservation as this place fills up quickly! Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options

Delicious food and cocktails! Great vibe.

Had the most wonderful dinner date with my fiance at Chuuk. We had the street corn, barria tacos and Carne asada and everything was amazing. Tara recommended the best drinks and was a wonderful server. We cant wait to come back in the summer with friends!

The food was great, the vibe was nice. We went on a Friday night. I would advise you to call and book a reservation earlier in the week. I waited until the day of my date to book. I waited for 10 minutes, maybe less. Once we were seated, the service, food & drinks were great. The staff was also top notch as well. I will be going back.

Chris is always a pleasure to see. He knows how to run a business. Food is always delicious and drinks are always amazing.

I love this place! We visited here for the second time recently and just as the last time, food was great, service was amazing and lastly the drinks were top notch. My fave is the mango milk punch (trust me and get it when youre there). The only reason I gave the food a 4/5 is because Im vegetarian and even though the couple of options available for vegetarians are great, I wish there was more. If only they could swap out the meat from another taco and add vege protein that would be great but they mentioned they couldnt do that the last time I asked which is a bit of a bummer. Nevertheless the vege taco I had and the cassava fries were still super good!

Have wanted to try this place for a while so finally got to come with a friend. First off the place has such a a great ambiance - feels like a downtown resto without being downtown. We ordered the guacamole and both got 2 pork belly tacos. The guacamole was really good and not to smooth not to chunky, chips tasted warm like they had just been fried. This was the highlight to our meal, the in house habanero hot sauce was really good that I brought a bottle home with me! $10 for a decent bottle. Sadly the pork belly tacos were meh. My friend also thought so. Personally I didn t realize there was pineapples and I m not a fan of them cooked, my fault - but it didn t ruin the taco. But also the meat was chewy almost like jerky, and only one piece. We expected for such a small serving for the flavour to be mind blowing but it wasn t anything to brag about. I was originally gonna get Birria tacos but realized there was no consume and that s my fave part. So got the pork belly For $18 for 2 tacos we expected there to be more flavour or more of it. Just on value alone we won t be back. But it was a great experience, service was really good. But value wasn t there for us to come back,

Brought my Mum for an early Mother s Day dinner. Great food and drinks, the service provided by Kaia was fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Top tier service! The Front of House Lady Host was incredibly kind and caring to our needs, despite our two hour lateness to the booking. Our server was very well dressed and very kind as well, and he balanced us between his very busy section with great time and care! We never felt forgotten or overburdened at any point. Food was interesting overall, we loved the fresh and tasty street corn, but somewhat disappointing in some areas, such as the oysters (we were not prepared for it to be served cold raw!), and our tacos got mushy in the centre so ended up splitting. If youre a slow eater and like to take your time to talk while you eat, I would recommend asking the the tacos be made for you one dish at a time so the tortilla dont get soggy. We got the pork, beef, and fish taco varieties, and I can confidently say the fish was by far the best one, due to how nice and fluffy and fresh it tasted, such a complex taste in one bite! But the beef taco felt like biting down into a meatloaf-stuffed wet sock, and the pork taco felt strangely hard and chewey. Also, although it was amusing at first, it felt bit weird about much juice was spilling out of the tacos from just picking them up, and likely what ruins the tortillas so quickly. As a suggestion, and I could be wrong, but perhaps the chef should be toasting a line across the tortilla to give it some more resilient backbone, as well as giving it a satisfying crunch. Reducing juice spillage by reducing the water content in the sauce may help as well so it is much less runny.

Went out for lunch here with the girlfriend. We both loved it I got the Torta Tampico and she got the Birria tacos. Torta Tampico was absolutely amazing and she loved the tacos. Will for sure be returning I highly recommend this place!

This restaurant is the epitome of class and quality. Their tacos are absolutely delicious and only use the freshest ingredients, and you can freaking tell. The birria tacos are unmatched, the baja are so fresh and crispy, the CHIPS? Incredible, hot and fresh. We had had a mix up the last time we dined there and Chris was so lovely and kind and made it up to us tenfold. I can t recommend this place enough. I will come back every single time!

VEGAN TACOS

One of the best restaurant in pickering, the food, service, ambience were top notch. I ll definitely visit again best for the family too !! Everything feels like home

Best restaurant in Pickering, top notch vibes, food, service and ambiance. I ll definitely visit again. Thank you chuuk team to make it feel like home!!

Came here for early dinner.. We had no reservations and the Host was very kind and seated us right away. The service was great. Our server really knew the menu and the drinks and gave us a great recommendations. She checked on us, refilled out water when needed, our plates were always cleared with efficiency. Now the food, Delicious! I highly recommend the Crudo de Atun! Absolutely DELICIOUS! We highly recommend if you are in Pickering this is the place to be! We look forward to driving up there another time again!

I was excited to try Chuuk after seeing it on social media before I give you the bad let me say my server Jon H was great and accommodating we had braise beef taco( can t remember the Mexican name for it ) which the shell was soggy and meat inside flavourless only came with 3 tacos and nothing else on the side for that price was expecting a bit more also had chicken dinner with rice and avocado the rice was hard and cold by how quick our order came out I was a bit concerned but tried it anyway I had to send it back and a server came back with another which was the same hard and cold manager came to bring me a third one but at that point I didn t want it the chicken was ok and the avocado was way to salty for the price point of chuuk I was expecting high quality Mexican food but was highly disappointed the server Jon did a good job by taking it off the bill after we got first bill was $89 we told him we can t justify paying that much for low quality food and leaving hungry and he was able to get one of the meals off the bill which we appreciated other than the food it s lively there and the atmosphere is very nice they need to get their kitchen on point can t have that price range and not serve quality food !

Very happy to have found this cool spot. Great atmosphere and vibe with friendly service and delicious food. The margarita s were great as well.

Loved it for weekday date night. Quiet calming ambience. We ordered the sweet corn, baja tacos and Birria tacos. Everything was amazing. The service was top notch with the owner himself checking in with us. The drinks menu is superb too. We were too full for desserts but Im sure they must be delicious too. We will be back soon!

Fancy all home made, including hot sauce, Mexican food. Modern decor with well spaced out tables. Food

amazing decor food was good. will go back for sure to try other options on the menu

Best restaurant in the east side and it s not even close. Every dish was cooked to perfection. They accommodated 2 guests with lots of allergy with no issues. I was ready to order some bread and water for both of them. Food was truly incredible. The crudo and octopus were out of this world. The sea bream is the best fish on the planet. I usually have it grilled but deep fried is still damn good. Young lady that took care of us was lovely, restaurant was stunning and vibe was just right. I m a downtown boy but this is the go-to moving forward on the east end Dietary restrictions: They had substitutions for items that we couldn t have instead of just depriving us of the deliciousness that usually comes with it.

Was great, but found some of the food a little under seasoned. The birria was frustratingly close to delicious, but i found the beef slightly dry. the actual portion of meat in the tacos was a little disappointing given the price as well. The guac was pretty standard, nothing really special. the tortilla (and chips) were outstanding. the octopus was also incredible, very tender. Mexican food should be extremely flavorful and bold, and i found the general flavor profile here to be very mild. its still a nice spot, and Id recommend it, but for more discerning diners, you may find it a tad underwhelming.

I come here quite often with my partner and we often get served by Tara who is awesome. She always makes us feel welcomed and is so friendly. The service in general is great and they always accommodate to our preference in tables.

Waitress was flirting with my man in front of my face. I felt unsafe

Ambiance fabulous, food is delicious

Great atmosphere and delicious food!

Always great atmosphere, food and service. I highly recommend chuuk for your next dining experience.

Chuuk is our go to, the BEST service and incredible dishes. The passion and creativity shine through in every meal. Chris the owner takes time to make you feel welcome and our favourite server Amanda adds to every visit with her sweet demeanour and great drink suggestions. 5 all around Favourite dishes are cassava fries, Crudo de Atun, achiote chicken, Birria tacos, Maya coffee, cupcake.

First visit, definitely not the last! Amazing food, allergy friendly menu options, and great staff. No pictures, because it got eaten so fast!

Thanks again Chris for a great experience! Penny

Explosión of Flavor in every bite of their Birria tacos. The birria sauce is to die for. The mix of flavours and the hints of aroma gets you going! Casave fries are stupid makes your eyes roll back. Last but not least my companion PINK JAGUAR MARGARITA in a jug the Himalayan salt alone would do the damn trick. Either way anything you choose should be fine You won t regret coming to this place.

The drinks are epic!

Sat at the Bar for date night. The bartender was very friendly and didnt stop the whole time we were there but still provided great service. The food was the best Ive had among places Ive been in the GTA and probably outside it aswell! I got pork belly tacos and the gf got birria tacos. They were next level good! I had two local brews the bartender suggested and had an after dinner tea and churros. The black tea was very good and according to my girlfriend sourced from Toronto and the churros were awesome. They also had oatmilk which was very nice! Would highly recommend and will be returning. Id even keep driving past Toronto to go and thats saying something!

Came for lunch. We had the Guacamole app, Birria Tacos and the Torta Tampico (steak sandwich), along with a pitcher of the spicy margaritas . Everything was so good, but the birria tacos were the best !

This is my favourite taco spot in the area. Always have a great meal there. Their margaritas and hibiscus drink is great too.

Great local craft beer. The servers know their food and drink. Cant wait until the patio opens Kid-friendliness: Childrens food healthy Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel right up

I had such an amazing time at chuuk with my friends. My server, I believe her name was Leah, had excellent menu knowledge and recommended the best drinks. 10/10 recommend chuuk

First time at Chúuk and it won t be my last!

Went for dinner with a friend, service was definitely not up to par. We got sat by the host and did not have a server greet us at all. After about 15 minutes, a gentleman came put water on the table, then walked away and didn t say anything other than here is some water . Another 10 minutes passed and he took our drink order, however we were also ready to order but walked away after taking the drink order. Comes back with drinks a few minutes later and finally asks, comes back 15 minutes later to ask us to repeat the order and then finally he brought it out 10 minutes later. As great as the food is, people genuinely appreciate service and we had zero of that tonight. No matter how good the food is, if you treat your guests who are supporting your establishment like they don t exist, you never win. Very disappointed in the lack of hospitality from Chuuk.

Nice location. Good parking, food and service. Ranch Water was really good.
