    Chuys.
    Jim F.

    On a recent trip to Brentwood for work a few of my teammates and I decided to head to Chuy's (an absolute favorite of mine) for dinner. This was my first visit to this location. From the outside to the inside, Chuy's is themed very well. It's colorful, has a shaded waiting area outside, and as you approach the building you get drawn into the experience. The inside is just as vibrant as the outside. There are also multiple dining areas, and the building is much bigger inside than it looks outside. Our server was Nichole (or was it Nicole?) and she was AWESOME. The staff is constantly in motion here, and one of the cool things they do is provide your silverware in a sealed paper bag, ensuring that is has been cleaned and sanitized. Chuy's tortilla chips are amazing...no, they're fantastic...no, they're OUTSTANDING. Thin, light, and crisp, and freshly made. I've eaten chips in (and this is not an exaggeration) hundreds of Mexican restaurants. These are THE BEST, hands down. They have a (I'm guessing) sour cream based jalapeño salsa that is out of this world delicious. I ordered the steak burrito, and I was only disappointed when I was done with it. :( It was amazing, and the steak was cooked like it was in a contest. I'd have taken a picture, but it would have meant waiting to start eating it. Chuy's is also not afraid to use spice, and the steak burrito was definitely my idea of perfectly spicy. Nicole (Nichole?) was great. She visited frequently to make sure we had what we needed and to make sure things were going well. My first visit to this location was great and since I'm routinely in Brentwood, I will will 100% visit again!

    Really haven't had Chuys since we left Austin... been about two years. This location was pretty close to where we were staying so it was super convenient. The chain certainly remains the same though. Even with the two year hiatus it felt like we had never left. Like a daytime soap opera we had not watched in 2 years we were still able to pick right up where we left off. The place was busy and our server was hopping but she never missed a beat. I love the queso and the salsa here... I could dine on nothing but the chips and salsa just about. My wife loves the guac... so we ordered it all. It was as remembered. We all ordered our old stand buys... tacos for my youngest, flautas for my oldest, fajitas for my wife and I got the enchiladas... they were all good but honestly a little less good then we remembered. Chuys is a good place to eat... we still like it, but can't say we are longing for it any more. Maybe another two years...

    The service was fantastic! Our waitress was so friendly and made the experience great. We got a few drinks and some small bites. It was all delicious--Mexican food with an American twist.

    Absolutely love chuy's, but the waitlist feature at this location is broken. Was quoted 30 minutes and it ended up being 1 1/2 hours.

    Not an authentic Mexican food or drink place. Plus it's just very expensive for the quality of the food.

    I'm from out of town and my friend that lives here recommended this spot. We met for dinner here…read moreand it was super nice. The layout here is very nice and comfortable. All the ones working here are nice and helpful. Our waiter was super nice and a great server too. The food we got was yummy too. This is a great place to visit for sure.

    Over the last four years, I've made more work trips to Brentwood than I can count--and I thought I…read morehad just about completed the local Mexican restaurant tour. Turns out, I missed one. On my most recent visit, I discovered Cinco De Mayo quite by accident, and curiosity (and hunger) pulled me in. Tucked just off I-65 near Old Hickory, this place is a bit of a hidden gem. You're not likely to stumble across it unless you're looking--or unless the roadside sign does what it did for me and waves you in like a culinary lighthouse. I stopped in on a Wednesday evening and immediately noticed two things: A) This place is way bigger than it looks from the outside, and B) This place was absolutely hopping. It has that "busy every night" energy--the kind of place that clearly has a loyal following. Inside, it's festive and colorful, with streamers and Mexican-themed décor throughout. There are multiple dining areas, and I was seated (as a party of one) at a table for four on what I assume was the lower level. Plenty of space to stretch out and contemplate life choices...or just the menu. Service started a little slow. After about five minutes, my server (whose name remained a mystery guest star) took my drink and food order and then vanished into the night. He eventually returned with iced tea and chips and salsa. The chips leaned a bit thick for my preference, but the salsa was fresh and flavorful--definitely a strong opening act. The menu is extensive, featuring all the usual Tex-Mex suspects at reasonable prices. Since it was my first visit, I went with a combo plate--the "greatest hits album" approach--to sample a few different items. You'll find all the heavy hitters here: Combo plates for the indecisive (or the strategic) Enchiladas and burritos in multiple variations A surprisingly deep seafood section Chicken dishes, fajitas, and a lineup of specialty items My food arrived in about ten minutes, piping hot and clearly made to order. Everything was solid across the board--no weak links, no surprises, just good, reliable Tex-Mex done right. While dining, I couldn't help but notice the rhythm of the staff. Some were in full hustle mode, keeping things moving efficiently. Others...not so much. My server, for instance, operated more on a "cameo appearance" schedule. My iced tea sat empty long enough to start feeling abandoned before he happened to notice it while tending to another table--one that, incidentally, seemed to get a bit more attention. There's always something satisfying about discovering a spot you didn't know existed--especially when it delivers where it counts. Cinco De Mayo is a solid find with good food and a lively atmosphere. If the service were a bit more dialed in, it could easily move from "good" to "go-to."

    Our visit happened late on a Sunday evening after a conference, so we did not have any issues…read moregetting a seat or being served. In fact, the service was very quick. Our first round of chips was less to be desired as most of them were broken bits and the salsa really didn't have a whole lot of flavor.. but after ordering the table side guacamole we got fresh baskets of chips which were warm and much better. The guacamole was delicious. I ordered the beef barbacoa tacos on corn tortillas which was something new for me, but I very much enjoyed them and the rice/beans that come with it. As far as the restaurant decor goes, I thought it was very upscale however very very dark. We had a hard time reading the menus in our section.

While that's not horrible in itself, it was the first chink in the armor. Then the service started getting worse. Finally, on Friday, 8/21/26, we sat on the porch, and our server acted like we were interrupting her. We had to ask for silverware and napkins three times. She brought our check before we were finished. We asked for another round, which took 15 minutes. My "tequila on the rocks" was a watered-down, sweaty glass that had obviously been sitting out for a while. I'm genuinely sad to see this place fall out of favor. We used to really enjoy coming here, but unfortunately, it just isn't the same anymore.

And you can tell Mas Amigos is going to be good from the complimentary salsa and chips. The sauces are all fantastic. The enchiladas are delicious. I don't even like beans and I literally love their bean enchilada! The cheese enchiladas is probably their best, with the chicken coming in second.

I had been craving their southwestern cuisine since moving here, & Sopapilla came close! Recently had Sunday lunch there with a party of 7. It actually wasn't extremely busy, as tables began to clear by the time we got seated for our 12:45 reservation. Unfortunately, many times, it's when the rush calms that service at many restaurants wanes. Apparently, there was an issue with/in the kitchen that greatly slowed our service, & our waiter tried to joke about it & wasn't always attentive for drinks/refills. 2 in our party didn't get their food until much later & it was the wrong thing. I think the rest of us enjoyed our food when we got it. I say all that to tell about the professional & generous way the owner has handled trying to make up for our less than ideal experience. We were given complimentary Sopapilla's (which used to be free for everyone), & then he gave us all gift cards. I feel he has more than compensated for this one negative experience. This last time was an anomaly, & I would highly recommend Sopapilla. I will definitely be returning. Always good chips & salsa. I always get the dip sampler with 2 queso + 1 guac, but it normally comes w a bean dip, queso, & guac. I've had many different entrees, all good. This time it was carne asada & brisket street tacos.
