    The ambiance and food are ok. The problem is the service. It was mediocre. I felt like I was bothering. Just polite enough so I don't say they weren't. The first time we went I felt meh about it. I still feel that way. So many good Mexican restaurants I don't think we would come back to this one. It's more like a 2. Experience but I have to give credit to the food being decent so a 3 it is.

    The service here is great and is probably be the best thing about this restaurant. Servers were very attentive and I think even the manager came over and checked on us. The drinks (margaritas) aren't bad either although we went for the cinco de mayo promo and it was unclear what was actually the size of the drink that was promoted on their social medias. The food is subpar and not that good so I probably wouldn't come back for the food and that's what's bringing the rating of this down. They do give you complementary chips and salsa but the salsa is very spicy so if you don't like that then to are stuck with the homemade sauce

    3.5 overall, accommodating a large party on couple hours notice. Give benefit of doubt on service given 25+ people. Relatively small menu, above average prices; "large" line margarita (1.5/5 stars) was a 12oz plastic glass for $12. "Taco salad" was a basic green salad w chicken (1.5/5 stars, $14) -- not conventional shell bowl with spices and flavor. Steak burrito itself was big but rice and beans were cold and cheese wasn't melted (2.5/5 stars, $16). Plenty of parking. Decor was Americana auto. Gender specific restrooms hidden in back corner.

    The restaurant is very well decorated, I loved the vibe overall. Our waitress was nice, and came to check up on us several times. Food took a little bit of time to come out, but then again it was Mother's Day. The complimentary chips/salsa/queso held us over as we waited for our food. The Chuychanga was very tasty, my new favorite item on the menu. The Tex-Mex Chicken Burrito Bowl was decent, and the Chicken Fajitas were also pretty standard as well. I did appreciate that the portions were large. Would visit again!

    What a great place for Sunday lunch with a friend! Hadn't been here in years, but met a friend for lunch. Service was excellent & our waiter kept checking in with us as we were busy devouring chips and salsa rather than looking at the menu. Ordered the raspberry margarita and wow, what a delicious treat. Raspberry may be my new favorite margarita flavor. The chicken chimichanga was so filling (along with the chips and queso), so I took more than 1/2 of it home. It was just as tasty when I reheated it the next day. Love the decor, it's very festive and fun.

    I returned and had another great meal, the Comida Deluxe. Cheese enchiladas (they added diced onion inside by request, thanks), chicken flautas, steak taco with fixings. Neat thing is I got all this for a few bucks more than a Big Mac meal. Managers Geoff and Lacy were all over the place talking care of diners. Keep up the good work. I'll be back again.

    This is the location 11219 Lee Hwy Fairfax, VA 22030 United States Been here several times. Food and service have gone downhill. Also not a clean place. They apparently don't look up. Here's a picture of just one of the air vents in the ceiling right above a table where people sit under eating. If it's this disgusting in the dinning room, imagine how disgusting it is where they cook.

    Chuy's used to be my SPOT back in them good ole college days! It's so great to know that they are still the bomb.com! The service was excellent and the food was oh so divine! Absolutely no complaints. Chips was fresh, salsa had a kick, green dipping sauce was a drug, and my enchiladas was mouth watering good. Definitely will include this back into my rotation when I have the craving.

    Steak burrito

    Love the ambiance of Chuy's restaurants, very welcoming and brightly colored inside! I've always had great service at every location I've visited. They're on top of making sure your chip basket is always filled and your table has that amazing creamy jalapeño sauce, not to mention the fresh salsa that I love! The steak burrito is my go to order along with the queso. This time around I tried the special MACHO pork burrito and it was fantastic. I hope this item makes it way onto the permanent menu.

    Long time regular here. High Side is run by a real beer nerd who clearly spends more time hunting…read moredown great drafts than chasing trends. The tap list is thoughtfully curated -- solid East Coast beers from up and down the coast, nothing random or just filling space. You can tell the owner cares about what's on draft and keeps it rotating with quality in mind. Food side is Taiwanese street food done right, whether you want small bites to snack on with a pint or bigger plates if you're actually hungry. Everything hits that casual, shareable vibe without trying too hard. Great neighborhood spot for beer people who also want good food.

    tldr; if you like bars and you like Taiwanese bites. this place is an absolute vibe…read more I told my wife I want bar food and I haven't had any in months. Decided on this little spot in Fairfax town center after having a quick weekend day trip to DC. Really pleasantly surprised with the whole atmosphere of the place. It's a true fusion of asian bites but still a legitimate dive bar. The space is small, patrons are merry, and the whole place is an absolute vibe. I ordered some pilsner and some other lager on tap from local breweeies. Delicious. Ordered popcorn chicken, pork belly, and some 'real food' - a quick rice bowl with chicken. The fried bites were wonderfully crispy. They have good oil management and felt quite light especially with a swig of a cold lager. The rice bowl was tasty too. Construction was indeed very Taiwanese, and yet... I still felt like I'm in a dive bar complete with all its grunge. So cool They sell 4/6 packs of craft brews here too. They've got stuff all the way up from some Vermont and Maine (true craft beer land IMO)

In addition to the great selection of libation, the food to pair the beer is just as great. I ordered the Reuben and my buddy ordered the fish & chips. Large portions and great tasting, especially with a tall pint of Guiness. During our meal, we were serenaded by a traditional live Irish group playing music - a nice touch! Great décor, vibe, drinks, and food - about the only downside is parking. Located in the middle of Fairfax City, street parking may be available, public parking lots are available - it's worth the small inconvenience of looking for parking.
