Oh Chuy's how you have changed! My favourite mesquite fish taco is twice as much money and much less taco. $7.00 al carte taco!! My favourite chicken wings with the horseradish dressing is no longer there. They taste just like the same buffalo sauce every one else uses. The wings were under done and they did not look like happy chickens as the bones were shredding. The salsa bar has no chips as I assume they cost money too. My favourite red sauce that they used to have in the squeeze bottle at the salsa bar is no longer there. I am sad to say that, it's likely my last visit to Chuy's as the prices are very high for the quality and size of food we had. $35.00 for lunch and that was with some Happy Hour football prices. read more

Tried out Chuy's West under the new management and was very impressed ! Happy and attentive staff makes a big difference. The food was awesome and the new manager Alex is very involved, friendly and has a passion for his job. All staff were very friendly and helpful, checking on tables, keeping everything clean. Happy hour 3-6pm every day Taco Tuesday Mexican beer $3 Full bar Live music most Friday and Saturdays (Only draw back is smokers on the patio) Chips are super fresh and crispy. Salsa is good, could use a little spice. Margarita is not sweet and syrupy, it tastes fresh made and was very good. Atmosphere is loud and fun, funny sports decor, lots of tv's with sports on https://instagram.com/chuyssimiwest?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= -- at Chuy's Mesquite Broiler Simi West. read more

I recently went to Chuy's for the first time to celebrate my friend's birthday. The manager Jonathan was so kind and helpful with making sure my friend's birthday was celebrated while handling their live music event. Their service was so fast and the food was so tasty. They have a great staff who works well together. read more

We have eaten at Chuy's for years and always enjoyed the food and drinks as well as the management and staff folks. Lately, however, things have changed. The prices have increased substantially, it is terribly noisy, and the food is not the same, nor are the staff. We were there last evening with our grandchildren. One grandson loved their chicken strips in the past. This time he didn't eat them because they were so disappointing. They were thin slices of chicken, overcooked and dry. The wings that we have always loved were flavorless and very disappointing. With the combination of cost, noise, and poor food quality, I no longer will eat there or recommend them to others. I think we are not the only ones who feel this way, as the place was pretty dead for dinner time. I hope to hear soon that the "old Chuy's" is back, and then I might try them again. read more

I'll start by saying I've been going to this Chuy's for 30+ years now - and have lived outside the area for ~20 years, but still return to SoCal - and to this Chuy's - on at least a fairly consistent annual basis for the tasty Tri-tip sandwich (w/ cheese!) the fabulous fries & perhaps the world's most sweet smooth & creamy Root Beer "on tap" - without question these items are some of the best I've had (even considering national and world-travel)! Throughout the years have also always previously gone to Chuy's, in equal part, for the "Chuy's BBQ sauce", and the unusually scrumptious free chips (with a self-added sprinkle of spice, to personal taste) & salsa. Love the lively ambiance, here, as well (even in spite of not being a sports fan) and historically would have leaned toward giving a full 5 stars. However, on my most recent visit (last week), I was disappointed to find that the chips & salsa are no longer free, can no-longer be self-spiced (this is at least somewhat understandable given Covid conditions) and the BBQ sauce is now seemingly a brand you can purchase in grocery stores, instead of their own??... not sure why these changes. Will still continue to visit on occasion when I visit the area, but this and the inconsistency of quality of service (the last few times, I've been, I've experienced both really friendly service and not so friendly...) are the reasons I don't give it a full five stars at this time... Nevertheless, it continues to be a Simi Valley treasure. read more

Love me some Chuys! Great food and awesome time when your friends band band, Autumn Wine is playing! Had the nachos with carnitas for the first time! BOMB!! read more

I haven't been to a Chuy's in I'm gonna say 20 years so really, this was like a first experience for me. The last time I was here, I remembered the chaotic wall art, and being a little frightened that my parents would bring me to someplace that I assumed was a dive bar. Going back on a random Monday with my friend for lunch and a margarita. I will say I am so pleasantly surprised and happy I returned. Let's start with a margarita! Is this margarita the best one I've ever had? Absolutely not. But is it delicious? Very much so. My friend and I decided to share the tri-tip and substituted french fries for the rice and ended up getting refried beans instead of pinto beans. Our waiter was the coolest human being and didn't mind all of our insane substitutions. These fries are absolutely top-notch, and the meat was so tender and delicious. I enjoyed this meal more than I thought I would. When we checked in on Yelp, we ended up getting a free soda, which was a really nice touch. Yes, this place is chaotic just like it was my memories, but it was also so much better too and I really can't wait to come back. read more

I have run sound (Tree Daddy Sound) for several bands there on the covered patio over the last few years and it has always been fun and packed with folks who appreciate great food and killer music. Will be there again this coming Friday, APRIL 18th with Louis Thomass and band, noon to 4 PM! read more

I love Chuy's!! Mahi Sticks, Tri-Tip, Chicken Quesadilla's, Pulled Pork Sandwiches. Throw a dart at the menu, it's all good!!

Great margaritas! And the band on Sunday was amazing. So much fun! Great spot to sit on the patio.

Great time, Great band and very friendly service. Open for day activities!.........................................................

Came with some friends and the food was great. Good drinks. They had a live band. Very family friendly.

I need to apologize to the management I'm not yet had the joy of being at this location I look forward to it because the manager took time to listen to me and my needs.... I was really upset with a different number of the chain,... so if you like their food I recommend you go to this place might be a little more out of the way but if the management treats your staff halfway as decently as a broken man as i..... you're in good hands... and the food is better... food for the SOUL.... i AM  Well. read more

My husband and I came here today for an early lunch. Ordered the veggie fajitas. They came plated beautifully and we're absolutely delicious. The service was phenomenal. Michelle, our waitress/cashier was so sweet and helpful. She made sure we had everything we needed and came outside to check on us a few times, always with a smile. We will be back for the delicious fajitas and to see Michelle. We would also like to mention Eduardo. He also checked on us and made sure that we had everything we needed with a great attitude. My husband and I have been to Chuys several times, but today was probably our vest visit ever. We will be back soon! Thank you for a great lunch and great service. Thank you, Michelle and Eduardo!!! read more

Incredible service. They truly made me feel welcome and well taken care of. Even though you order at a counter and they bring you your meal, I still felt looked after and they were so attentive! Place was super fun inside! Will be coming back:) read more

Chuys in Simi Valley went above and beyond when we took my 91 yo father to eat. Dad favorite is taquitos and there were none on the menu. We discussed going to Yolanda's, down the road. Dad said that was fine. On the way to our parked car I heard someone and the young lady from the counter was running and calling after us. Wait! We can make your dad taquitos if you would like to come back. We happily turned around and the staff happily had us sit down and took our order from the table! Usually you order at the counter and sit down while the server brings your food. The experience with Chuy's and their eagerness to bring us back to their establishment and prepare my dad his favorite food has had me smiling since. This was New Year's Eve and I wish all the staff and managers a fine and peaceful New Year. And I will certainly be back, their food was delicious and the customer service is warm and inviting. Thank you! read more

Lizzy the server is very professional and nice! The barstools are the MOST uncomfortable hardwood chairs on the planet!! I don't know how they keep customers sitting in them at their bar. I had to move to a table where the seat has a cushion. Just to be perfectly clear this rating is only for their super uncomfortable chairs. read more

This was a lunch go to for me and a buddy after our workouts at Golds gym. Out of nowhere they got rid of the great lunch specials and we now go to Reds BBQ instead. The last time we went it appeared the tacos are now smaller and the chicken and tri tip was much more salty than previously. I think they are making some changes but not for the better. We loved the place and service but the food going down and the lunch specials away have made us shift directions. read more

Until tonight, I have never had a bad meal from Chuy's Mesquite Broiler either at the restaurant or delivered. Their tri-tip, chicken, and fish have always been excellently prepared. Fries are always perfectly crisp without being dry. As I said, until tonight. Tonight I ordered the fish & chips and what I received was a slab of greasy, limp-breaded gray-colored fish laid on top of fries that were soggier than al dente noodles. It was disgusting to look at, as well as uneatable. After a few bites, I tossed the meal in the trash and sadly I will not be ordering from them again in the future. read more

Michelle was our server and she was AWESOME! Great personality and very personable service! They screwed up my sliders, but she made it right very quickly! Wonderful atmosphere! read more

This is a great place to get good food fast that is very affordable. The ladies here treat you wonderfully and you could not ask for better service. They have a good happy hour, nights for bands and trivia, kids eat free one night a week, and teachers get a discount during certain hours yay read more

Chuy's Baja Grill - Mahi fish taco, beans & captain & coke - Tex-Mex Near Me - Simi Valley, California

The staff is amazing, super friendly and always helpful. The food is great, and they have good happy hour specials! The place is clean, and always fun especially since they always have awesome local bands playing all weekend, every weekend. I WOULD give them 5 stars but I made it 4 because they recently added more lighting to the patio and it is way too bright, they need soft white bulbs up there instead of bright white. It gets super hot on the dance floor because they have the heaters on when it's not that cold out. My suggestion would be to leave on the big flame heaters in the back and turn off the heaters near the band. The band suffers with all that heat and the people dancing get super sweaty and uncomfortable. Also unlock or fix the side door, please! It's hard squeezing by the counter line and around all the people sitting at tables inside just to get to the bathroom from the patio. Other than that, my friends and I love this place and it's a bonus that I ALWAYS FEEL SAFE here when I'm out with my friends!!! The staff is very diligent about not over-serving people and it creates a safer environment, which I personally appreciate. One more thing... their chicken is the bomb. And Mabel & Jess are the best bartenders ever and we love them!! read more

I have to leave this review because some restaurants deserve it. I'm a little ashamed to say that I have DoorDash 3 times this week from Chuys. And that's just this week. It's been lots more these past few years. I order their famous chicken salad and it is always the same. Made fresh, delicious and the chicken is always on point. Today I decided to order a soup for the first time. I didn't have high hopes since I was dashing, but it came super hot in the container and they packaged it so perfectly. Not to mention the soup was bomb. As a frequent DoorDasher, this is one of the places who's food is like eating at their restaurant. So much appreciated! read more

Shout out to Keith, Drew and crew! Thanks for the laughs & great food! I'll be back as long as Drew stays shocking. #fumolly read more

Chuy's Baja Grill - Famous chicken salad, corona edition - Tex-Mex Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Absolutely horrible, will never eat anything ever here again. I live in town, and really want to like Chuy's. I've ordered the salmon tacos, --the salmon had worms. Yes worms, no not fat or bones or connective tissue. I let that pass because they can't control that. However, last night was the last straw.. ordered tri-tip /chicken combo plate. The chicken leg and thigh piece were old and dry. The thigh portion was small and just bones. I sent it back. $20 should get me at least half a breast and a leg. I got a slightly larger thigh as replacement. Lame. I just sighed and accepted it. The chicken was barely lukewarm and flavorless. Whatever, its a sports bar. Then, I tried the tri-tip. I couldn't believe it. It was literally less then room temperature, rubbery and nearly raw. Important: I never specified rare/medium/ or well because tri tip is usually medium unless you request otherwise. And I like medium rare, but when it's at least warm. It was , I'm not kidding, like 70° meat. I sent THAT back. The cook put it on the flat iron for maybe 30 seconds. Poor guy, he WAS trying. It was absolutely devoid of any seasoning. I rarely add salt or pepper to a steak. I was desperate, and you guessed it.... No salt or pepper shakers at any of the tables. My once-lukewarm steak was dying again. Having to ask for basic seasoning, I finally just ate the meat. It also tasted old. The girl asked me if everything was ok. I was nice, but honest and said it was awful. She aplogized, did her best, but I still got billed full pop!. That should never happen. Like I said, I want to like the food, because I like the people here, but after multiple fails, I give up. Vallarta is the next parking lot. Just go there. DO. NOT. EAT. HERE. read more

This is an update to my negative review in June 2023: Management must take these reviews seriously because this place made a complete turnaround. Prices came down to a realistic, affordable level. The quality of the bands performing here has greatly improved. Happy Hour menu has been expanded. And, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Their service is fast and professional without exception, making this one of the friendliest places to spend an evening. The shining star of Chuy's has been there a long time and seems to enjoy what she does. Mabel (Spanish pronunciation - Mah-bell) greets her customers by name and always has a friendly smile and a kind word. She is helpful, patient, and above all - courteous. Her professionalism and customer service is second to none. I hope management realizes the asset this lovely woman is to their establishment. She would be worth every penny, even at double her pay. Spend some quality time at Chuy's. Have lots of fun and enjoy. You won't be disappointed. read more
