    Not sure how this place has somewhat decent reviews, to be perfectly honest. I rarely give out bad reviews - but when it warrants it, I will. The pros; the outdoor patio is really pretty - although they have fans blowing directly on you, so the napkins and anything not nailed down goes flying away. We were seated quickly. The food wasn't bad. Cons? It was expensive - the gauc was eight bucks, tasted spoiled, and was literally all lettuce underneath one meager scoop of gauc. Yikes. Our server literally gave no shits and would be walking away before we even had a chance to say what we were saying about our order. We had to ask probably five times for a refill on water and chips. He seemed like he wanted to be anywhere but there, and instead hung out at the bar on his phone.

    Chuy's has always been a favorite of mine. Being from the east cost it reminds me of meeting my family for vacations in Florida and Disney (Orlando!). I was excited when I moved to El Paso to see that they also had a Chuy's. The food and drinks were on point for this location as to be expected. The only reason I did not rate five stars is because during Covid Chuy's has a limited menu. Understandable that businesses are hurting during the pandemic and have to limit some of their offerings. However, this local Chuy's (and Chuy's in general) has not advertised these changes. The menu is very small and options such as vegetarian and/or seafood are not available. I was surprised that some of our favorite meals were no longer offered and all of the meals currently offered were very slim.

    Green Chile Relleno Combo

    Una experiencia pésima. Pedimos tortillas de maíz y estaban agrias y olían mal, le dijimos a nuestra mesera y se las llevó pero ya nunca nos trajo otras (todas al parecer estaban en mal estado) . Cuando llego el platillo de chile relleno con la enchilada verde, la tortilla también estaba echada a perder y el chile relleno ni para que mencionarlo, solamente véanlo. Muy mala presentación de los platillos, nada presentable o apetitoso. Nuestra mesera muy linda y con mucha pena disculpándose, ella se portó muy bien.

    Service is friendly and very short wait time on a Sunday and on Cinco De Mayo. Free chips and homemade salsa are awesome. Enjoyed a strawberry margarita in the day's cup. Our plate was huge and shareble.

    So I've come a few times to chuys and don't get me wrong, the food is great. However, the level of service you receive at the bar depends on if you're familiar or not. The ambiance is overall traditional Tex Mex. I've been to a lot of Mexican restaurants because I love a good frozen margarita but Aaron completely blew my buzz. I'm assuming because I wasn't his type or a familiar face, I didn't get the same treatment. I waited so long for my second drink, I ended up ordering it to go. What's ironic is, I've only been in town for a few weeks but between in person visits and online ordering with friends, we've spent at least 300 bucks there. If you're looking for a good frozen margarita, just get it to go!

    Outstanding service and the food never disappoints! The perfect ambiance for a casual lunch or dinner.

    Quesadillas
    Aaron R.

    Let me start by mentioning that I only tasted the quesadillas, which are an appetizer. So the main plates could be more appealing for some and even more delicious. I loved that the flour tortillas are freshly made right there at the spot and you can taste it. The ratio of food to plate was pretty generous for what I ordered. Would have loved to see more salsa in each quesadilla or at least the option to have some on the side, I'm not talking about bottled ones. They can carry the homemade tortilla spirit and expand it to the salsa department. The service was good, no complains in that aspect and the decorations inside the restaurant is pretty cool and interesting. I really liked that they have local art displayed and even for sale, I believe. Glad we tried a new place on our visit to the fountains and I would encourage to give it a go for yourself and see if this is for you. Provecho!

    I went to Chuy's with a large group of friends and everyone said the food was good. Not amazing but definitely good. My friend Curt was in town from Florida and we split the boom boom enchiladas. The sauce was milder than I expected but it still had good flavor. Will definitely good again.

    Custom Enchiladas

    We were visiting El Paso for a business trip and a bunch of us decided to try this place out on a Friday night. Hands down the martini was to die for - we each must have had 2 servings of martinis each paired with the delicious food. I had heard the enchiladas were good and we were not disappointed. Even though this was more commercial and more of a Tex mex place, the rice and beans were authentic. The house fiery sauces added that extra kick to the food and it did not disappoint. Had a great evening

    Steak Burrito*
    Ayana P.

    This was a massive steak burrito. Super huge and I love it. It's a very filling meal and I love to eat so I was quite satisfied. The steak was juicy and cooked perfectly. There was a lot of steak in the burrito and the green chili added to the flavor.

    Enchiladas and a chimichanga

    Very good Tex mex. Wish the enchiladas were a bit more spicy but still good and these margaritas!? 10/10 I ordered chicken enchiladas and when I got them they were all cheese I told my server and he had no problem on taking my plate and bringing it back correctly so I really appreciate that. Cute decor too!

    Ground beef tacos
    jessie a.

    The typical tex mex place. I was disappointed to see a limited menu. I ordered the fajita tacos and they were standard fare. Nothing special about this. Two tacos with undercooked rice and beans The michelada I had was watered down. My son ordered the flautas (6 to an order). He liked them. His date ordered the ground beef tacos. Can't say what those tasted like. For dessert I ordered the 3 leeches cake and that was better than expected. Overall.. nothing to ooh and ahh over. Just another chain serving textbook tex mex fare.

    Chuy's always has amazing staff, delicious food and the restaurant is always clean. I have visited several locations when I travel and it's always consistent. The hatch green chile sauce is delicious is you like a little spice in your life. Great food for a chain restaurant. I highly recommend these folks if your looking for a delicious lunch or dinner.

    Delicious chips, salsa, and jalapeno dip!

They always offer an affordable lunch @$9.88. The service is super friendly and dedicated. I love the colorful painting inside the restaurant. They have great Tamales that you can order for the holidays @$24 per order. I also enjoy their Caldo de rez. This is a spot near downtown judicial court.

Which were good (lacked a little crisp but had good flavor). The green salsa at the table was fantastic, a little slice but a ton of flavor. Everything was fresh, the chips were freshly baked, the rice was not day old rice like at so many places around here it was good and actually had some flavor, the beans were good (the bright orange color of the beans surprised me, turmeric? Regardless they were delicious). Unfortunately the meat had zero spices, not even salt. The only reason not taking off a star is the salsa paired perfectly with the shredded beef tacos and the green chili burger, but a little bit of salt would have elevated the meal for sure. There was no salt on the meat in any of the meals we'd ordered. The coffee was good and strong, the mugs weren't tiny little mugs they actually gave you enough coffee to enjoy and the experience over all was wonderful. My mom spoke Spanish, I border on no sabo, pero intendo and my kids speak no Spanish at all, the menu was all Spanish but the waitress was patient and sweet with every order. Definitely worth the visit.

    I always see posts asking about good BBQ. Well, I've found it! Move aside simple salt and pepper…read moreTexas style BBQ, Papamigos Tex-Mex BBQ is here! A splash of Texas and a sprinkle of Mexican bring this BBQ to over the top flavor town. Yup, I said. I envoked the Guy Fiere-ism. The BBQ is only available Fri-Sun, and it's located inside Fanatics on Montwood and Lee Trevino. The bar is a little divey, but it's clean and spacious. The times we've gone it's never super full, and the micheladas are cold. The bloody Mary's are on point if you like some spicy kick. Papamigos has an extra special Sun brunch yumminess as well. Check out their IG for pics. I haven't tried it, but we've tried their whole regular menu and nom nom nom. Here are some of our favs: The brisket is the most tender I've had. They have an AMAZING brisket taco with freshly homemade tortillas topped with an egg. Sigh! Foodiegasm! The pulled pork is tender and flavorful. It's little pork pillows of bursting flavor. The pork ribs are fall of the bone tender. My husband, an avid griller and smoker, took several mins to say something. That silence spoke volumes! The macaroni and coleslaw salads. These are not your traditional sides. They're light and compliment the BBQ perfectly. The coleslaw is a vinger slaw that is flavorful but light and balances the fattiness of the meats perfectly. The macaroni is this awesome combo of macaroni and elote. It's light and citrusy and comes topped with tajin. Just taste it. None of that heavy mayo mess here. (Trigger warning for mayo lovers.) The salsas are all homemade and have flavor but don't overpower all the smokey flavor they put into the meat. Below are pics of what we had today. The sausage bites and a two meat combo. This was more than enough for two people. Extra special: The place is run by brothers. They are orignially from the Valley but moved to EP. One of them always come out to check on you and ask about the flavor. Some might not like the chit-chat, but we do. It's quite clear they care about the food their making, and the food tastes like the love they put into it.

While the food was never the primary…read morereason I returned, the excellent margaritas and outstanding service kept me coming back for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.
