    It was quite good and filling. The pineapple was a nice little bit of acidic sweetness. It want much but I did leave some for my oooy-gooy cheese filled chicken quesadilla the flavors were fresh and opened up a bit of my taste buds. The service was great even though it was just one server hopping between three different resort dining options.

    Not only did we have amazing food, but we had the joy to have Peter (the chef) to talk with us while we ate. He was very knowledgeable about food. I encourage to sit with Peter if you want a good time or just some company! Peter knows Orlando and can help with great recommendations! He genuinely loves his job and will talk to you about anything, but will especially talk about rock n roll and cooking!

    Pork Carnitas (isn't that redundant) Huarache - JUST okay to me. Looks like it's exploding w/ flavor but not

    I was a little thrown back that this place was not really a restaurant but just a single bar in a hotel. From Yelp!, it was hard to pick that up. I almost left when I figured that out, but I was limited with time, so I stayed. The counter/bar was located right next to the hotel lobby, and there was no privacy. I felt like I was exposed to the entire lobby. Food wise, the place was just alright for me. I tried the pork huarache, which was portioned just right. However, it was just bland to me. I also tried the margaritas; they were pretty good, but way too much ice! The best part of the whole experience was the excellent service--great all around at this place!

    Peter was working and made recommendations based on my wanting a light late night bite. Great guy, whose love of food rrally shines through. Lindsey was my waitress and welcomed me and made me feel very comfortable. The margarita was wonderful. The tropical ceviche was light and tasty, but decided on the margarita shrimp. The margarita shrimp was a perfect choice, not too heavy and great delicate flavors. Peter plated it with such a delicate hand making the plate beautiful to look at and anticipate. I would come in again.

    Steak tacos

    Steak tacos, which were recommended were really great. Staff was very friendly and even gave me some salsa to taste. I would definitely go back.

    This is a bar round as they state but you can sit anywhere and order from a waitress for any of the local restarants there in the circle but sitting at the bar front you get the action of the chefs. I enjoyed their chips and salsa and some fish nuggets. I order while at the bar one night and from a table across the way another night. I enjoyed it tremendously.

    Diamond in the rough alert!! For me, hotel food has always been a bit hit or miss and in the generic.dot.stripmall that Orlando is, this place is beyond a hit. Chef Luna is both an artist and a magician. He's also an award-winning sous chef. The pork tacos, bbq ribs and his signature dish are just delightful explosions of colors, flavors and textures, all perfectly balanced. Your order is prepared right at the bar and the chefs are friendly and informative. Don't order from the menu, just talk to them and get their recommendations. Hopefully, you will be as delighted as I was. They also have several dozen different types of tequila in stock, and I suggest ordering one of the flights to finish off a meal.

We're obsessed with both the green salsas. They also give you a warm red salsa and a spicy/smoky one. For our mains, I got the eggs, chorizo, and potatoes with a side of smoked bacon. My husband got the migas al carbon (breakfast tacos) with chicken. Both are served with your choice of tortillas and refried beans. Dang, their beans are good and I'm not usually a fan of them. They got our toddler's seal of approval, too. Our server was the sweetest and she even brought out a complimentary house made popsicle for our son at the end of the meal. He loved it! We'll for sure be adding Superica into our brunch rotation!

I also enjoy that they offer a freshly made salsa bar as well as chips and salsa for the table.

Service was great - food was fast! My husband and I each got specialty margaritas - we ordered "small" and were glad! They were pretty big. The mediums must be huge. Drinks were delicious and had a ton of fruit inside. My husband loved the mole chicken and the bean dip that comes with the chips was yummy. I, however, should have stuck with the beans. As a vegetarian, I decided to give some love to the soy taco option. It had some good reviews from 4-5 years back and I try to support creative veggie food when I can. I make tacos with a soy food product and they're delicious, so I was hopeful. I should have refrained. First of all, they looked pretty gross. Little pink lumps, not at all what I was expecting. I added cheese and ordered them in soft corn tortillas (they come in lettuce). It was so bland and had an unpleasant texture. But it also had this fake smell to it. I added salsa, thinking it would help. It did not. The pinto beans that came with it were also pretty bland. I barely ate one of the tacos. It's been a long time since I couldn't eat the food I ordered. They should stick to beans and rice. I also got a cheese enchilada from the à la carte menu. That was good! All in all, I might go back if I wanted a fruit salad in my margarita, but I will absolutely not order the soy tacos again!

I ended up ordering the Wildberry Mule and requested it to be less sweet. The bartender recommended the boom boom sauce on any of the entrées, so I chose the Boom Boom Chicken Enchilada. They also brought out chips and salsa, along with a creamy jalapeño dip. The salsa was fresh and delicious, and the chips were warm, which I really liked. It was the perfect amount of food, and I really enjoyed it. The boom boom sauce was pretty spicy, but really good. I did think the price was a little high for what I got, but overall it was a good dinner. The service was excellent.

Although a little different in decor, every Chuy's has the hand painted swimming fish, the hubcap ceiling, and the shrine to Elvis which was a fixture of the original store. I had a great first Chuy's experience with my girlfriend Holly in Pembroke Pines. On a recent trip to visit my daughter in Winter Park we passed Chuy's in Lakeside Crossing and remembering how much I liked it, I suggested we dine here for dinner. In addition to the multiple dining rooms, they also have outside patio seating. We were seated in my favorite room, the dog one. If you bring in a picture of your pup you can get a free appetizer so the walls are covered with pictures of people's dogs. This room also worked out best for us because it had two TV's and we could watch the Super Bowl. We started off with their complimentary chips that come with a spicy salsa fresca and a Chuy's signature item, creamy jalapeño dressing. It started out as a dressing and it is now a dip with a following. You can even purchase it to take home with you. Two dips can never be enough so we also ordered the queso that is a beloved menu item for good reason. The menu has a number of Tex-Mex favorites like burritos, tacos, and fajitas. Chuy's is especially known for their large portions. They also make all of their own tortillas and sauces. You can customize how spicy you want your food by pepper choice and sauce. I ordered my favorite steak burrito with double rice, no beans. I replaced the spicy hatch chili sauce with the creamy deluxe tomatillo recommended by our server. It was chef's kiss. My daughter and her boyfriend said they really liked their food too and with the large portion size, ended up having leftovers to take home with them. I love the quirky decor, value, and tasty food. We were in the mood for filling meal with a casual vibe and Chuy's hit the spot.

The salsa had some type of sweet pepper flavor to it and you could tell it was homemade. My friend got three tacos with rice and beans and I got the flautas you were able to choose your own meat, which was really cool no extra charge. Sometimes back up plans can end up being the best finds. Definitely will be back!!!!

I feel like the prices are pretty reasonable, especially the kids meal and for the portions they give you even for the adult meals. Our server was absolutely wonderful. She brought out fresh chips and salsa almost immediately, and as soon as our chips started to run low, she immediately replaced them. As soon as we ordered, I asked if she could bring my son's queso first and she gladly obliged. It was a very hot day and she kept our drinks full. We will definitely be back.
