So, I'm always looking for "Authentic Mexican Food" restaurants in the area. This is pretty close. I liked it. I ordered the Burrito Mojado with carne asada. My wife ordered the chicken enchiladas. The food was definitely good. I would say it was more Americanized Mexican food but definitely better than most "Mexican Food" restaurants in the area.
Oh yeah, the salsa is top notch!! That is some good stuff right there.
So if you're looking for a good Mexican food restaurant, CK's is a very good choice. I will definitely go back.

Excellent good and outstanding staff. All the food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly and provided excellent service. Tequila and Margarita menu 2nd to none. The house margaritas are absolutely excellent! Highly recommend.

Really cute place and great service. The burrito was excellent. The fish tacos were a bit disappointing. Since tilapia should never be in a fish taco I ordered the premium fish tacos They were tasty but chef should consider finely shredded cabbage as a topping instead of lettuce. And the fresh guacamole was very much appreciated but should not have chopped tomatoes in it. Will be back.

Great experience overall. Great food. Dishes were dirty though, I saw a tall lanky fella washing the dishes and he left some stains on the forks and plates. And he was wearing a big name tag that I believe said TYLER HOCKENBURY and he was greasy.

We were greeted at the door and given a choice as to where we wanted to sit. We chose the main dining room as the enclosed porch area was not heated. The tables in the main dining area are very roomy. There is a bar and the main dining area is festive as a cantina should be. Halli our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She understood that we did not want to be rushed as this was a girl's Saturday lunch. The food was as ordered and delicious, and hot. Alcoholic beverages were really tasty and a nice size. We will definitely be a return customer!

On a Tuesday afternoon I needed lunch, fast food need not apply. Since it had been a long time, I tried CK's again. Overall, they did not disappoint. Now, would I call it authentic? IMHO, no. I'd lean toward southwestern. But the food is solid, and the prices are decent. They have quite a collection of tequilas, and other selections available from the bar. I tried the house margarita, the bartender made it wonderfully, and I loved the iridescent purple sugar on the glass rim. So pretty! It's the little things! I don't usually use other business names in reviews to be fair, but for those of you who are missing Chili's now that they are no longer in Wilkes-Barre, get to CK's and try the chicken tortilla soup... I'd swear it was Chili's recipe and I love it! I also had chicken street tacos with the sides of beans and rice that came with them. I thought the chicken was lacking, and the beans were bland. I finished everything regardless, the salsas added to the dishes. The patio wasn't open at that time, but it definitely seemed like it would be relaxing outside. (My only problem was that the door was open[good], but someone let their diesel engine idle nearby and all the exhaust filtered right into the place[bad]... please post a sign if this continues!) Another small suggestion- mix up the music a bit. I'll admit I was thoroughly enjoying the pop/dance stuff that was on, but you know, too much of a good thing... I've had so much classic rock shoved down my throat I've actually left places that stick with it. I know people who feel the same about pop, country, etc. I'd also wonder if there's another option for ALL those plastic portion cups for sauces, just put the salsas/condiments on the food instead, or have some decorative crocks that can be washed. I can't imagine the number they go through in just a day(don't look good on the plate either). Anywho, thanks for reading about my "complaints" but if anyone needs me I'll probably be on their patio with a mojito, and trying one of the loaded up chili dogs on the menu...

The food was great, I had seafood enchiladas. The drinks were also very good.
The wait staff is very attentive and courteous. Despite being a full house, our food came out in a timely manner and was very tasty!!

Such quality food. Go for 4:30-4:45 pm or you will be waiting for a seat. Attentive wait staff. Sharp manager. Quality food at a great price. Oh and the bartenders are excellent also! Perfect Bombay sapphire GIn and tonic.
