Just left Chuy's in Denton and immediately remembered exactly why I became a fan in the first place. We started things off right with chips, jalapeño ranch dip, and queso, which is honestly the only proper way to begin a Chuy's visit. The queso was warm, creamy, and exactly what my soul needed, and the chips with that jalapeño ranch were the cherry on top. Speaking of cherries, we also got the Tito's cherry limeade, and it was the spring we didn't know we needed to bounce. Crisp, cold, a little dangerous in the cutest way, and honestly adorable -- the perfect little kick to start the meal. Our waiter was top notch: kind, attentive, and somehow always there right when we needed something without ever hovering. That kind of service makes the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. For food, we ordered the Baja shrimp tacos, and when I say the shrimp is BIG, I mean it (and no, we're definitely not out here flattering any men ). The shrimp was cooked perfectly, flavorful, and absolutely the star of the plate. They came with rice and beans, and even though I forgot to ask for the cilantro lime rice , I was still super happy with everything. We also got the steak fajita Tex-Mex burrito bowl, and every single bite just kept getting better. The steak was tender, packed with flavor, and once it all got mixed together with the salsa and scooped up on the crispy tostada, it was perfection. This meal was such a good reminder of why Chuy's became a favorite for me in the first place -- fun atmosphere, great food, amazing service, and one of those dinners that just hits from the first chip to the last bite. read more

Chuy's never misses! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is fun, colorful, and welcoming. The service was fast and super friendly--our server made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. The food? Amazing. Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The Tex-Mex here is seriously top tier, and the portions are more than worth it. And let's not forget the creamy jalapeño dip... easily one of the best things on the menu! If you're looking for a spot with great food, great service, and a lively atmosphere, Chuy's is definitely the place to go. I'll 100% be coming back read more

The creamy jalapeño dip is the best thing they have!! Make sure you get some for your chips. The fresh salsa and chips are always good. The boom boom enchiladas are what bring me to chuy's, everything else is okay - normal Tex-mex. Service here is usually pretty mediocre. The servers and hostess always seem to be on their phone and distracted from taking care of customers. Don't let that distract you from ordering the boom boom enchiladas! read more

The service was good considering it was busy. I think the chips are amazing and I think it's because they are thin and crispy. When I first started dining here I thought the food was good. I've been back three times and the food is just not good. The rice has hard uncooked pieces, the refried beans appear to be sitting out under a lamp...not many Ala carte or lunch items. Very disappointed! read more

Ordered the steak fajitas and received about six pieces of steak on the skillet. Disappointed with the portion size. I'm not sure if this is the normal portion size, but it definitely didn't match what I expected when ordering fajitas. read more

Chuy's - Fajitas for one - Tex-Mex Near Me - Denton, Texas

Always a family fave.. We finally have found our go tos after a few trial and errors. Always start with salsa AND their Jalepeno ranch sauce for the chips. Our family of 4 order the fajita chicken quesadilla appetizer, taco salad with steak w Jalepeno ranch dressing, boom boom chicken enchilada and a soft beef and cheese kid taco meal w French fries and ice cream. Everyone is satisfied.. there is a tiny bit leftover from the kids but otherwise we all leave so content. I did not like the burrito with the hatch sauce so gross! read more

They have no taco Tuesday even it is advertised. So, I got a mini buffet is tacos crisp and soft, taco meat and trimmings. I was not thrilled with it, they provided the lettuce/ tomato garb Nisg but it was skimpy. Taco meat was good but greasy. It had melted cheese salsa and lots of chips. Rice was OK. Tve bartender was so great that it was a pleasure to sit in the bar. The food was delivered by another nice guy. I ate child and salsa while I waited but it was worth it. Many people walked by and each was greeted. The Ambience was great! I will go back but may not get the pseudo taco bar. It was lacking in amount of food for 8 people. I may go to on the border to get tacos already made. Good idea but not enough food and very expensive. read more

I've been to many chuys across the U.S. and I've never had issues service is always amazing and the food is great. I tried a new dish recommendation by the server and I have to say it was amazing. I wish I could remember it, I think it was a chicken boom boom. Outstanding and honestly, I can't ever get enough of that jalapeño ranch dipping sauce with the chips always a favorite. read more

Buy far the best restaurant in Denton. Best queso, best enchiladas, best quality, best service, and it's always so clean! The food is just way to good and if I could eat chuys everyday, I would :) read more

Best Tex-mex period. Too many favorites to list, everything on the menu is fantastic. Place is always clean. Decor reminds me of my half Latina ex-wife's grandmother's house. Staff is always friendly. read more

I'm from California, and I was really looking forward to trying this place after hearing about it for years. Finally got a chance to try it with my boyfriend and his family. It was a total disappointment. The grilled chicken and steak was tasteless, and the food wasn't presentable at all. I think it's one of the worst Mexican food places I've tried in a long time. I'd rather eat at Taco Bell rather than go back to this place. I have no idea how they're staying in business serving food that has no good taste or quality. I also ordered a Cadillac Margarita, it was iced down and really weak. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

They are BACK! For those of us who LOVED Chuy's pre-Covid, they have finally brought back some of our favorites! Green chili rice , Elvis Chicken and Chili rellenos!!! Food and service were great and love the ambiance. read more

Chuy's is a family favorite as ours! We love how many options there are! We've been to all the locations in DFW-however, denton is the only location that uncharged us for an extra sauce (it's not a big deal, but definitely not the vibe when other locations don't)! read more

Whenever people gush about how much they LOOOOVE Chuy's I automatically assume that they are not referring to this location. I don't doubt that the original restaurant was spectacular, otherwise it would not have expanded to become a chain, but I believe that this one is quite far removed from it's origin. A copy of a copy of a copy is actually what comes to mind, and we all know what happens in that scenario! The menu has all the usual suspects of any Tex-Mex establishment worth it's salt, like enchiladas, tacos, fajitas, etc., including a couple of stand out items like the "Big As Yo' Face Burrito" and "The Elvis Presley Memorial Combo". They also provide a jalapeno ranch dip along with a tomato based salsa (which is more like pico) to accompany their super thin chips. But, these slight deviations from the norm just don't make up for the general mediocrity that is the majority of their food. There are no memorable, unique or even spicy flavors to be found anywhere. For example, the very hottest salsa they offer is made with hatch green chiles which barely register on the Scoville scale they're so mild. I don't want to imply that anything has ever been particularly unsatisfactory, but at the same time there is nothing that would compel me to return. With the Tex-Mex restaurant market being so saturated and competitive around here I am genuinely perplexed as to why this place is so popular. read more

Get the jalapeño ranch immediately. So Yum! Also, the burritos are bigger than your face. prices are on the higher side in my opinion, but you'll either always have leftovers or can share with a friend. Service is always mediocre as well as the ambience. read more

I love Chuys creamy jalapeño sauce. It is always good!! The salsa and queso are good and fresh as well. I've had the Mexi-Cobb salad and it's always good and a "healthier" option. I enjoy the taco and enchilada combo but prefer the boom boom sauce over the tex mex sauce. All in all it's a good stop for Mexican. The he service has always been good and I love casual environment with a lot of fun decor to look at. read more

When does the happy hour begin at Chuy's Denton? The answer may take you by surprise: 3:00 pm, and I for one can vouch for their potency, enough to let the cares of the world to fade away by what the taste of salt, blended with top-shelf of your choice. It's a not a shame that this restaurant has some truly amazing Mexican food, too: From the favorites, like beef, chicken, or pork fajitas to Mole chicken and rice. Don't forget about the pecan pralines to soothe the sweet tooth. It's the weekend, when we live by our experiences, including dietary indulgences. The diet starts Monday, I guess! Cheers, Mark F. read more

Since the parking lot of almost full, I was not surprised when the hostess area was full of folks waiting for a table. Fortunately, the bar was only half seated. As soon as I sat myself, one of the two bartenders asked me what I wanted to drink. When I asked for the food menu, the specials menu was not specifically pointed out. Luckily, I did notice it and ordered the Macho Burrito. While waiting for my food, both bartenders asked a couple times if I wanted any chips and salsa. Fortunately, I knew better than to get any. There was plenty of burrito on the plate and I enjoyed every bite of it. I wished there was more of the Hatch Green Chile & Tomatillo Sauce; although I did enjoy the amount provided. The green chilies in the burrito and hatch green chile in the tomatillo sauce only provided flavor and nothing more. The menu states both are their hottest sauces, so I was slightly disappointed not to feel any heat. read more

Went to Chuy's for birthday celebration! We were seated very promptly for Friday night. We had a fantastic waiter who took care of all of our needs, answered all of our questions about the food. The food was delicious and satisfied our appetite. read more

Favorite local spot to us. Order a New Mexican martini if you're drinking. The chicka boom boom is probably their top entree, but they just brought back the Elvis fried chicken, can't beat it. We love to sit in the bar because the service is top notch. Can't go wrong, even when they are busy. read more

Just ordered via uber eats. There was literally no salsa. Not one drop. Usually they don't give enough chips but this time a large bag of chips and no salsa to go with. Ordered fajitas and an additional dozen tortillas. They literally packed 12 tortillas. It's very hit or miss with Chuys to go orders. read more

Went there on a weekday during lunch. Food was excellent service was excellent crowd was kind of small. But it's a staple and it's probably been there a while so I didn't count that against em! The waitstaff gives great recommendations read more

Oh, how I miss Chuy's! This is real Tex Mex. On a hot, hot day, the dining room full of tile and hubcaps was a restful respite from our car. We started with their delicious chips and queso as well as the jalapeno cream dip - yum yum. Their chips are so thin and crispy but still hold up to the weight of the queso. Our ordered a mix of tacos and quesadillas. My tacos al carbon were slightly overcooked in that it was a bit hard to pull the meat apart with my teeth to tear off a bite of the taco, but still very tasty especially when I added some of the jalapeno cream sauce to it. We were too full to partake in tres leches cake but that just means we'll come back next time! Our waitress was busy but kept a pretty good eye on us; we just had to ask for a chip refill at one point. Overall, I will always come to Chuy's when in town! read more

Had a togo order that had 4 adult meals and a couple of Children's menu items. I personally had the Chicken Quesadillas. Attached is a picture of said Quesadilla, three bits of meat and not even enough cheese to close the tortilla. Highly disappointed and ripped off. read more

Chuy's - Chicken Quesadillas if you call them that. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Denton, Texas

Service was fair. No one checked on us for a solid 10 minutes. Waitress was fairly attentive after the initial greeting. But, she never asked if we needed drink refills and seemed frustrated when we asked. The food was mediocre. The refried beans seemed old and crusty. No flavor. Rice was not much better. The enchiladas were ok. Not much more than warm when they arrived to our table though. Fajita meat on tacos was chewy. Not tender. I did enjoy the spice in the hot sauce. Best thing on the table. read more

As always, food was very good, but what made this experience GREAT was our server Quinn/Pricilla. She was so engaging, friendly, and really loved her job. Everything was exactly as ordered (we had a few complicated requests) and her sunny personality shinned brightly. Still smiling after almost 2 months as I write this review!!! read more

First day back in town and of course, I had to get me some Tex Mex. I had a late lunch so not many people there. It was a pretty day so decided to sit on their spacious patio. Complimentary chips and salsa were immediately brought to the table along with packaged utensils that noted they'd be sanitized. I thought this was a nice touch! I ordered a lime margarita with a patron shot floater, which was very good. The tacos al carbon with fajita chicken were what I decided to go with for food. It came with rice and refried beans. I loved the flavors of my meal. The only change I would have made was to the tortillas they came with. They were super thick. I got through half of one of my tacos before deciding to just eat the filling alone. If I wasn't driving, I would have gotten another margarita. The service at Chuy's was great. This won't be my last visit! read more

Chuy's is a Texas based TexMex restaurant. I recommend Chuy's for grabbing drinks in the bar area with a small group of friends. It has a casual atmosphere. The waitstaff is friendly. The food is decent. The steak fajita nachos are good. The jalapeño ranch dip is addictive. Sound carries throughout the restaurant. it's incredibly loud. The bar is actually the best location if you want to be able to hear conversations at the opposite end of your table.. I reserved a table in a back (quiter) area for a large group. They lost our reservation and had no record of it. read more

Waited forever just to get bathroom paper towels to clean up the water spilled on our table. Then waited forever to get some queso with chips. And while waiting, everyone around us got seated and ordered and served! Then waited even longer to order food just for our waitress to come back several minutes later to tell us they're out of certain things and did we want to order something else or what! We said no because we had other places to be and our guests with us were traveling and we had already been there for nearly 2 hours! We just had water and tea and one person had one beer and those even took forever to get to us! Our waitress said we needed to pay for our drinks but we said no we are not paying for anything so we didn't and got up and left. Idk if the waitress just really sucked or what their problem was but that's the last time I'll eat at a Chuy's! read more

Food was good but completely overshadowed by the horrible service. From the time we sat down until the time we left, the service was terrible. We asked for some house salsa and our waitress Lexi was rude and said they don't have another salsa, then proceeded to ask if we're sure it wasn't queso or a different location. She came back later and said she put an order in for a house salsa they had. Needless to say we never received it. Throughout our dinner, she approached us with an attitude. We cashed out, my husband went to sign the ticket and got ink all over because he was given an exploded pen. Customer service will always win over mediocre food. Poor service ruins even the most outstanding meal...sorry ‍ read more

Rude bar tenders. Children in a grown up world. SMH! Maybe the lack of experience in the world has an attribute to the rudeness. This establishment has an overall very strong LBQ vibe. I wont return. read more

Got seated with no issues. Our queso was good but our food came out cold. The cheese in the inside of the beef burrito wasn't even melted. My daughters got chicken enchiladas but they ended up getting horrible stomachaches about 3 hours later. Saying this because they had not eating anything else prior to this lunch (because we were looking forward to this) and nothing after because of their stomach pains. The waitresses were nice. We sent the beef burritos back but it came back 2/3 of the size of the previous one... it looked like they took everything out of the previous burrito and put it in another burrito but lost some of the beef so they put it in a smaller tortilla. I thought they could not reserve previously touched food, but that may not be true. We love Chuy's for years and years, but this was not my favorite visit. It's the only one in Denton but I may drive further to get to another one next time. read more

Love!! I don't think I've ever had a bad meal here. Absolutely love their chips with jalapeño ranch dip... everyone at the table does but hubby loves the salsa the most. They are social distancing which is great. I got the taco salad, hubby got enchiladas, kids enchilada and kids mini burrito. I'll see the kids burrito was anything but mini...it was huge and filled the plate. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Service was good and we'll definitely be back. read more

the food never does me wrong and the service is always quick no matter how many people are there.

Chuys is so good but I would recommend going to a different location. This is the 4th year I have ordered an entire Tres Leches for a birthday party (normally I get it from Fort Worth) we get to the party and open it up and it's so burnt the edges and the bottom are BLACK and its super dry. The manager ends up sending me a "dinner for two" to replace the $80 cake. I order Togo and use the coupon and my total is LESS than the cost of the cake (1 app, 2 meals and 1 dessert - which is what I would consider dinner for two") and they won't even take care of the entire bill, even after I explained the situation with the MOD and she still charges me $18. And of course when I get home there are no tortillas for my fajitas. The customer service at this Chuys is non-existent read more
