The food at Chaak is incredible. The flavor combinations are so creative and meld together perfectly. The ingredients are fresh. The service is impeccable. Chaak is our go-to for any special occasion.

My wife and I enjoy fine dining and Chaak is one of our newer finds. It is a little further away than we might normally drive but not by much and worth the drive. A South American Aztec/Mayan food focus, these dishes are not the usual, but my o my are they delicious and perfectly prepared. Pricey as might be expected, maybe $50/person with one glass of wine. Don't miss the ceviche for sure. It will surely surprise you in every wonderful way. We also enjoyed the mole turkey tacos.

This place takes Mexican food to a new level. Unique menu items that I've never experienced elsewhere. Every dish I've had was remarkable.

I loved how freindly their staff were. We went there for drinks and appetizers only. We had Ceviche and it was really good. The bar staff even showed us how to eat that properly. Super friendly and chill atmosphere. Will definitely come back for another dishes and drinks. My new favorite spot in Tustin downtown.

Food was good but not the Mayan food I know from Yucatan. The mix plate's sausage was more like a kielbasa than something more authentic. I guess the food was geared more for a local palate than to the traditional native cuisine.

We love Chaak. Best Caesar I've had in all my life. Don't think anyone will ever beat it. Our steaks are always perfect. Everything is always amazing.

One of my favorite places to dine! Food and service always excellent. Can get a little loud inside so recommend sitting outside if available. 5 Star rating every time!
We've been there a few times and are always excited to go and enjoy the delicious food and great service. Such a diverse menu that includes dishes that can be eaten alone or shared. Everything is on point when it comes to depth of flavor, the moles, sauces, salsas and dressings. The servers are professionals and offer great suggestions on menu items. One of the South Counties best restaurants.

Took my girlfriend to celebrate her birthday! It was absolutely fantastic as I knew it would be. Our server Ryan was incredible. The food is delicious and complex. The atmosphere is lively and charming in Old Towne Tustin, a complete gem! I love this place!!!!

Some of the best quality Mexican food ever. Flavor were very distinct and the pre fix menu all complimented each course.

If you're looking for TexMex, keep looking. This was the most delicious authentic Veracruzano food that I have ever had. Go with somebody who appreciates food and good service and a really great cocktail and enjoy the evening. My friend and I ordered and shared four small plates and were full by the end. Make sure you taste everything and have those delicious flavorful bites and if there are more people at your table, make sure everybody has enough of each bite. This restaurant is an Orange County delight that has been completely missed by the masses. I know that's bittersweet, but we were grateful to be able to get in on a very busy night and have a lovely table. kudos to the chef and her team - I will find a way to come back. PS - Gabbi's is the sister restaurant and also delicious while presenting more traditional/SoCal ‘Mexican' fare. They are VERY DIFFERENT flavor profiles.

Caesar salad was so delicious. Pork belly tacos in confit were so different but so delicious. The quail was also exquisite. Service excellent. We will certainly return
