Don Chuys Mexi-Mercado

Unassuming storefront with a gem of a mini taqueria in the back. Staff were all inviting and engaged. The portion were very generous and everything felt like good quality. The proteins were all tasty and served out of steamer trays. Not sure which dishes use the grills but excited to find out on future visits. Plating was surprisingly thoughtful for take out with beautiful dishes for the foodies.

A cozy little corner store with really affordable food and huge portions. The food is delicious and the people who work there are so nice. So local and so many good vibes.The garlic shrimp is available til 3 and insanely good. The vegetarian meals I gave ordered (breakfast burrito, cheese tamale plate) are also satisfying and comforting.Dun Chuys is a total neighborhood gem that illustrates why I love the Excelsior.

This place is very unassuming from the outside and we had no idea they had some of the best burritos in town! We were told to try it and were not disappointed. We ordered the shrimp tacos and a breakfast burrito. The taco were very flavorful with plenty of shrimp and the sauce was delicious. The breakfast burrito was delicious as well. Large portions, very filling with reasonable prices. Great local spot.

You're parked in front of Don Chuys, holding a box of nachos stuffing your face when the UPS guy stops next to you. He smiles and gives you a thumbs up. GREEN FLAG.Embarrassing but who wants to eat soggy nachos?!Over 15 years late on this but Don Chuys is an Excelsior staple...a IYKYK kinda place. They're a humble corner store with a taqueria hidden in the back. Takeout only. Their online ordering system doesn't work so call in your order.M E N U Typical taqueria staples: tacos, burritos (baby, regular, and jumbo), quesadilla, nachos, tortas, and tamales. Chips & salsa are +$1.50. --Protein choices (in steam trays): Asada, pollo (asada or guisado), carnitas, al pastor, chile verde, chile rojo, and lengua--Cheese choices: American, jack, pepperjack, or swiss--Bean choices: Refried, pinto, or blackCc's accepted (pay at the front counter). There's also an ATM onsite. Bring cash for tip!F O O D* Super Baby Nachos w/ half carnitas, half lengua, pinto beans, jack cheese, sour cream, guac, pickled jalapenos, pico de gallo ($12.95) // 4 stars: https://tinyurl.com/3r4vy8am--Requested no lettuceThere's nothing baby about these baby nachos...they're huge and enough for two to share. The housemade chips are thin and crunchy yet sturdy. Since they microwave them to melt the cheese and warm the proteins + beans eat ASAP so they don't get soggy in transit. I'm a lengua girl but the carnitas shined. They're deliciously crispy and tender with golden brown edges. The stewed lengua in tomato sauce (guisada) was tender but hella salty with a strong gamey flavor. The cooling sour cream, creamy tang of the guac, and freshness of the pico de gallo provided a nice contrast to the hearty meats. S E R V I C ECordial and fast (weekday at 3:45 pm). A M B I A N C EHole-in-the-wall corner store. P A R K I N GReally really challenging residential street parking. There's one 10-minute green zone in front. Otherwise, prepare to double park and run in to grab your order. Overall, solid carnitas nachos (skip the lengua). Mexico Tipico is my go-to taqueria in the area but if I luck out with parking again, it's on with the baby nachos! If you find yourself around The Excelsior area, check out this local neighborhood staple.

The service is excellent. They tailor your order to your liking. The place looks like a regular shop but it has place in the back where you could order food. My Super Burrito was yummy and quite big. Fresh cilantro and very tender Lengua . The Avocado and Sour Cream was abundant. The burrito was creamy and delicious. I recommend the place specially if you are hungry.

¡Buenisimos! This is the The place to be for jumbo-sized entrees! Yep, this Jumbo burrito is legit - not just in length but in girth. It turned out to be over a foot long going 1 and a half feet! Not only that, it was packed thick as I had to palm it like a football or nerf basketball. They definitely filled it completely. No skimping on ingredients here. Every bite was good and covered in sauce or with the meat. The jalapenos gave it a nice kick too! What else? There is a green zone parking spot right in front for convenience picking up food to go! There is plenty of parking with just a little walk in the area too. The murals are also beautiful, and the people there were super nice and friendly. That along with the jumbo entrees is why I will have to return again and again to try the other dishes - 1lb carne asada nachos!

Great neighborhood spot! Burritos are super filling and the quality of the ingredients are fresh.

We came back here again during lunch a bit after my first time. The service was nice and the location is convenient to grab drinks and snacks on your way out with your meal. I did not think much or watch while they made my food as I had an expectation from my first experience. Unfortunately, the experience was not consistent with my first time here. The super burrito I ordered this time was loaded with a pile of refried beans! It was like I was eating mush each bite. The next problem was that this burrito was loaded with a bunch of lettuce mix! I was not happy with the amount of lettuce in there and I did not even expect to have lettuce as I did not have that my first experience. I should have watched while they were making it, I suggest you watch too in case they had something you don't want.

A little taqueria located in an unassuming corner grocery mart. I ordered ahead and our two burritos were ready within 5 minutes - super quick! I like that they have the option of a regular and baby burrito and there is actually a noticeable size difference between the two. Both burritos were stuffed full of ingredients although they felt a little rice heavy. I could have used more protein in mine. While the burrito was tasty, a lot of the wet ingredients were all pooled on one end which made it messy. And maybe it's just me, but it's such a turn off to see chunks of carrot in your burrito - I definitely could have done without. But overall, not a bad meal.

Garlic shrimp tacos. Good size and price is decent. Needs better advertisement so people know there is a taco shop inside.
