Tacos Chukis
Capitol Hill / South Lake Union
Capitol Hill’s favorite taqueria just added a second location, in Dexter Avenue’s sunless canyon of new apartment buildings. The new spot is a little sleeker, more spacious, and ever so slightly spendier, but the idea is the same: tasty and cheap tacos, tortas, quesadillas, etc. Crowd favorites include the mulitas—basically a cheesy taco sandwich—with your choice of meat, beans, or slices of prickly pear cactus, and the house taco, a corn tortilla with rotisserie-cooked pork adobada, melted jack cheese and guacamole topped with a juicy slice of grilled pineapple. To drink, grab a house made horchata or the ruby-red agua de jamaica. —Jenn Campbell
