This was my first visit to this particular Chuy's location, but the quality of the food and service seem to be pretty consistent with my experiences in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The restaurant provides lots to take in - unique decor and bright colors - pretty fun environment. The food is great - my favorite is the taco salad (beans instead of meat, of course!) The taco salad shell is better than most places - more flavorful and less greasy. They also have a unique jalapeno dipping sauce for the tortilla chips - pretty tasty! read more

They have good service and good food although I wish they had a vegan menu. They seat quickly and their waitresses and waiters are very nice, taking our orders quickly and bring our food out in good time too. read more

Pretty much the same fanfare of their other establishments. The service was very fast, especially for a peak week day time. Food was good as usual. read more

Went to Chuy's about 2 weeks ago. I will start my review positive. Our waitress Brittany was AMAZING! She made sure we had our cups full at all times, our basket of chips were never empty. I was told it was her first time waitressing. Hope they keep her! I wanted to order a margarita but i was really hesitant to order one because some restaurants go over board with the margarita mix and not enough Tequila. Brittany suggested to try the one that had 2 different types of tequilas for $8.95 and let me just say i was not disappointed!. On to the sauces, we tried all different types of sauces and The Hatch Green Chilli and Tomatillo sauces were my favorite. They also have a ranch dressing that goes with their salads, but you can also eat it with the chips, very YUMMY! I love their spicy rice. The decor inside was pretty neat. Very retro and i felt i was in a different city. Kuddos for the decoration! On to the negative. First the wait was an hour and when i went inside it wasn't packed like i thought it would be. I ordered the chicken flautas with the chipotle sauce. Brittany asked if i wanted another sauce instead since some people do not like spicy food. I told her to leave the chipotle sauce since i do like spicy food. When i got the dish the chipotle sauce was dry so was the chicken. I imagined the sauce all over my flautas. The beans were very dry not a lot of flavor. The guacamole dip needed more spice and lime ( the one i make at home is WAY better). Overall i think i would go back if Brittany was my waitress :) read more

I've been to the Chuy's in Atlanta before and remembered liking it so when I saw they had one here in Greenville and our friends wanted Mexican, we decided to give it a try. It was just ok - nothing really stood out. The salsa was a bit spicy for my taste, however the creamy jalepeno/cilantro sace was not. We ordered margaritas, tacos, and burritos. The food was fine but again nothing that was ah-mazing. The service was good even though they seemed to be pretty busy and the shirts in the waiting area were fun to read. read more

Great service & even better food!!!! I wish I remember my waitresses name, but she did an amazing job. It was my first time to the restaurant and she told me all about the best food! I was eat there weekly if I lived closer! Soo good!) read more

Can you really have a Mexican restaurant without empanadas? The frozen drinks with whip cream on top are a big hit it seems. Oh wait... They don't claim to be authentic. The Micky D's of Mexican food read more

This place is a favorite for me and my husband. The food is always good. I've tried many different dishes, and I've never been disappointed. The taco salad with fajita beef and creamy jalapeño dressing is my go to but the fish taco is also delicious, and the chicken fajitas are another favorite. My husband and sister love the steak burritos. You can customize with your own sauce! The service is always satisfactory too. Servers are polite and attentive. The restaurant's appearance is really vibrant and whimsy. There are actually many interesting back stories about the decorations like the colorful, wooden fish that hang from the ceiling, the mismatched chairs, and the hub caps in the back room. Ask your server about these! Pretty cool. We will continue to come up again and again. read more

I have to preface my review with the fact that I am from Oregon where we have top notch Mexican restaurants and the south is definitely not known for its Mexican food.... But I was here on business and craving tacos so I hopped on Yelp, found this place & decided to check it out. They brought out piping hot, yummy salty chips and a great fresh tasting salsa, off to a great start. I ordered the Tacos al Carbon (very different than the ones in Oregon) and it comes with their marinated fajita steak meat which was very tender and tasteful but I did notice that my lunch wasn't piping hot, not sure if it sat for a minute or two or what?? Overall I would say it really was a good meal, the prices are reasonable, the beans and rice were yummy and the service was awesome, the waiter came over multiple times to check on me (which I love!) only gripe I have is that the tacos weren't hot when they got to me. If I'm ever back in Greenville I would totally go back. read more

Chuy's - Tacos al Carbon - Mexican Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

When we arrived, they sat us at a dirty table that had crumbs and sticky sauce on it. When we asked for it to be cleaned, they moved us to a booth in the bar. Evidently our waitress had just gotten triple sat because it took her awhile to get our drink order and when she delivered them, she had the drinks for another table on her tray as well, so she had to deliver them before she could come back and get our order. Plus, there was a big booth in the corner waiting for food. A basket of chips later, she came and took our order. Then after about an hour, a man came to our table and apologized saying they had "lost" our order. How on earth do you LOSE an order I asked. He stammered and hemmed and hawed but could give no explanation except to say it hasn't happened in six years. He wrote our order down on a napkin stating they would get right on it. About twenty minutes later, a nice young lady delivered our food stating it was cooked fresh just for us (how is it usually fixed?). She apologized again and tried to explain how this could've happened but it hadn't happened once in the six years she'd been there. Do you know, they did not comp our food?? They gave us a 50% discount. Oh, but they gave us free lunch tickets to come back another time. Ya think? read more

This place is awesome. Super funky decor. Beer is really cold and the food was great. The waiter we had was great.

This Tex-Mex is a cut above most. Good service, atmosphere, and food. I had the Elvis Chicken - dipped in buttermilk, then Lays potato chips, and fried. The dish was definitely different and good. The Margaritas were very good. I'll be back. read more

Get the Chuychanga with boom boom sauce! This is a fun unique place with a loud atmosphere good for kids and great food!

Typical chain TexMex but the quality just isn't there. I will fight my colleagues to never go back.

I was sooo excited to try this place for the first time! I wish I could say that it was all I had imagined. It wasn't :( the salsa is delicious and leads you to believe that he entrees will have that same umph. We literally left the place saying Taco Bell or chipotle would have been better. The food tastes like it came from the freezer section of a grocery store. Our waitress was great in explaining what everything was except for the lack of flavor. Also the food came out lightening fast which is good but this came out too fast like we were in a drive thru. We would never in a million years go here again. We tried to love it but just couldn't. read more

Good to see a Chuy's in South Carolina! I had only had them in Texas previously. I love their chile rejelno (sp), but it is not like what you would expect from other restaurants! It is stuffed and deep fried huge pepper. Yum! read more

Finally a great Mexican/ Tex-Mex find in South Carolina. After moving here from California over a year ago, I thought I would never taste good Mexican food again. Salsa's were terrific, very fresh and flavorful. The burrito was massive and came with a wonderfully tasteful rice. We will be back. Service was excellent and the place was packed. I can see why it is so popular. read more

Server was polite but too busy near closing to offer attentive service. Enjoyed the veg enchiladas. Charro beans and chile rice were lacking. Appreciated the guacamole being prepared w/o tomatoes but disappointed there was no other seasonings; in my book that's just mashed avocados. Floor was filthy for the lack of customers at the time. Ladies at the front should have used their time to help out instead of gabbing. After waiting longer than I would have preferred for the check, I then had the chore of opening a heavy door - I'm physically challenged and noticeably so with a walking cane - while the host propped her chin up while resting her elbows on the hostess stand as I departed. read more

Couldn't find a place to park, got there at 7:45. Didn't get seated until 8:39 only after I explained to the manager that we had been waiting almost an hour and seeing people be seated before us that came in after us. They gave us complimentary dip for the inconvenience that I could've done without. I ordered the chicka chicka boom boom. It's was ok but definitely not worth the wait! The only thing I would want from here is the salsa. It was really good but I WONT be going back! read more

GET THE TORTILLA SOUP AND CHILE RELLENO! If you're like me and you've lived in Mexico for part of your life, you're probably in South Carolina SERIOUSLY MISSING real chile rellenos! Well, look no further than Chuy's. Their chile rellenos are actual chiles (omg) stuffed with yummy goodness and fried up AS THEY SHOULD BE, instead of weird slimy pieces of bell pepper drowning in hamburger soup like all the other SC Mexican places. And their tortilla soup is To. Die. For. Seriously. A funky cool atmosphere, handmade tortillas, and the very ingenious "Chuy's Brew" (dude, it's beer stuffed in a margarita, wtfawesome) make this franchise surprisingly do-able. read more

Food was like Taco Bell , it came out so fast it couldn't be fresh or homemade . The margarita was amazing and the service was ok..

As a Texas transplant, I can say that this is my absolute favorite Tex-Mex restaurant. We were beyond excited that greenville had a Chuy's when we moved here. The menu has great selection and the fajitas are superb. The boom-boom sauce and the strawberry margaritas are a favorite of my family's. Ask your waiter or waitress for the creamy jalapeño sauce once you sit down. My favorite time to show up is during happy hour which is Monday through Friday from 4- 7 if I remember correctly. The waitstaff is polite and attentive. I don't understand the previous parking lot complaints. The parking lot is huge and there has never been a problem even on Friday/Saturday night. This must have been a problem from several years ago. Overall, we have always had a great experience and if you ever get a chance, visit the original in Austin TX. read more

Was extremely excited to try this establishment knowing how awesome the food scene is in Austin. Service was not the best.. foot was mediocre was not anything amazing to write home about. Would give it another shot but wasn't impressed with the first go around. read more

Service is awful !! Food is okay - nothing special. Best thing was the chips and salsa they serve. Restaurant needs to be swept more often. Bit pricy for what they give you. read more

Went with friends on a Friday evening. Crowded, chaotic, noisy. Warm beer, terrible service, mediocre food. The whole experience was Chi-Chi's on a bad night. Our 20-minute wait turned into more than an hour. There is insufficient room for people to wait, so everyone is crammed into the entryway, which is also between the dining room and the restrooms, so people are constantly trying to push through. read more

Must say this is pretty good Mexican food. Just moved tovthe area and was very excited to see some real tex mex here. Grew up in texas and have missed my Mexican food dearly. We shared an order of steak nachos and a stacked chicken enchilada. Both were very tasty. read more

I am not exactly a fan. It is pretty bland and pretty americanized. There are so many authentic Mexican restaurants that it makes it hard to want to go back to this restaurant. It is just another chain restaurant. read more

So disappointing.... We frequently visit Chuys in Auatin and its always excellent--food and service. However, our food here was not hot and service terrible! We couldnt get the attention of wait staff and couldn't get tortillas or salsa refills. The food was not hot and the sauces were barely used. The filling in the fish tacos was missing altogether. Too many other good restaurants to try before coming back. read more

Sugar and Spice... not perfect, but nice! A cool themed restaurant... there are hubcaps on the ceiling! Who doesn't like hubcaps on the ceiling? The pros are simply highlighted by the authentic dishes; tasty, spicy and large portioned. Unlimited salsa and creamy jalapeño dip with homemade chips was a nice touch although the salsa was a bit salty for me. The full bar was a nice touch and their Peach Sangria cocktail is to die for! My love had a mojito as usual and it was well proportioned and tasty. The ambiance was cool as mentioned, but I do feel it could have been a tad cleaner. Not a "hands off kids" type of gross, but nonetheless could have been a bit more sparkly! The service was honestly the greatest disappointment. The guy serving us was nice enough, but felt the need to explain why his other tables were needing their requests filled first. He did neglect a little in the follow up department and I felt like the bar service could have been faster. I did notice similar issues at the other tables with the other servers. He did however give us a consolation prize which was Jasmin's leche cake dessert! Over all, not a bad experience. Tasty food and good drinks. Step up the table time and it has four star potential. read more

Went on opening day and was very disappointed. Very small selection and way over priced for what you got. Saw another reviewer on here say something about La Parilla right up the street from Chuys. Hands down it is the best Mexican food i have had anywhere. How good? I have been there 6 times in 5 days. read more

I've never even heard of the restaurant before but I was shopping in Greenville, saw their sign and a very full parking lot. After I finished my errands I stopped by for lunch. What a treat it was! From the very friendly host to the excellent waitress to the delicious food it was a wonderful experience. When the waitress, I'm sorry I forgot her name, realized that this was my first time in the restaurant, she brought me a sampler of all their special sauces along with the traditional chips and salsa. They were all very tasty and not crazy hot. There was so much food between the daily special and the sauce sampler that I ended up taking most of my meal home for dinner. I will definitely be back and recommend Chuy's to my friends I'm looking forward to working my way through their whole menu! read more

Apparently, the spicy food wimps are complaining. Our last visit the waitress have we ordered or asked for something spicy, she had to ask us "Do you know that it's a spicy dish?" Really? It's a Tex-Mex restaurant, it's supposed to be spicy! I really hope that this isn't the new procedure because of stupid people. read more

Very good food and lots of it. The service was constant and constructive for a good eating experience. The homemade tortillas are delicious. I had the chicken burito and could not finish it. Excellent cuisine for the entire group. Had a birthday and they made it special. Thanks and I will be back. read more

This establishment is a complete disappointment. Service took far too long, and food was not worth the wait. I would recommend Cheddar's or any other eatery in the area. read more

Chicken fajitas are so good! Chicken is cooked perfectly and you will be stuffed with all the sides that come with it! Chips, salsa & cilantro cream filling sauce are the best. Salsa is fresh and addicting! read more

First visit for lunch was near perfect. Amazing server and great food (and love the decor). Second visit for dinner was downright awful. Server cursed twice at our table (in front of our 4 year old son) and food came out wrong (and then was cold when he attempted to half-heartedly "correct" it.) We won't be back. read more

My first visit to this place. Everyone is super friendly, wait staff is superb. Salsa served at first is definitely unique with strong cilantro flavoring but very fresh. Entrees we ordered were very flavorful, with generous portions. Overall, a good choice. Probably could be a little faster with service, that's why 4 and not 5 stars. read more

Awesome steak burrito! Best in town. And my girlfriend got the fajita, which she loved. Glad to finally have an authentic tex-Mex option in town. Service was great too! read more

Wasn't impressed. Love the decor & our waitress was great but the food was subpar. Everything was too spicy. And there wasn't much to choose from on the menu. Probably won't be going back. read more

Very nice New Mexico style food. Yummy, pleasant spicy green sauces and churri beans. Will definitely come back when I'm tired of all the 'usual' Mexican places! read more
