Chuy's Taco Shop

Chuy's Taco Shop is a taco shop in San Diego's College Area, near San Diego State University, known for very large servings of carnitas and pollo asado tacos.

Overview

Chuy's sits in the College Area, the neighborhood around San Diego State University. ABC 10News, which included it in a list of ten local spots for Taco Tuesday, noted that the shop had received attention from the Food Network. It is a counter-service operation in the San Diego taco shop mold, with tacos, burritos and plates.

Menu

The shop is known for size: its carnitas and pollo asado tacos come piled high and are dressed with diced vegetables, salsa, guacamole and pico de gallo rather than the sparse onion-and-cilantro finish of a Tijuana-style stand. That generous, heavily garnished style is typical of the San Diego taco shop tradition that grew up around burritos and combination plates.
