    Deluxe Chicken Enchiladas
    Sylvie F.

    I have always enjoyed eating at Chuy's, but tonight was not great! The reason for the two stars is the quality of the food! Quesadillas were so greasy when picked up and the outside of the tortilla tasted super salty. Honestly, I didn't want to eat much after the first wedge. My hands were coated in grease...so disgusting! The service though was exceptional. Our waiter (wish I had gotten his name) was great! He checked on us often and truly gave us excellent service! We just can't return after being served subpar food we used to enjoy so much!

    If you are vegetarian, DO NOT order the queso!!! On the menu it reads "Blend of melted cheese, Green Chile & Ranchero Sauces. Add seasoned ground beef, gua­camole & pico de gallo", so I assumed that it is vegetarian because you can just add meat if you want it. I thought it was a little strange that it didn't have the "V" symbol next to it like the other vegetarian options on the menu, but I proceeded to try to order it anyways. Thankfully I had already told the server that I am vegetarian, so he alerted me that the queso is, in fact, NOT vegetarian. Not sure why as he didn't explain it, but just warned me that it wasn't vegetarian friendly. This blew my mind because this is the ONLY Mexican restaurant I have been to where the regular queso is not vegetarian friendly. It actually really upset me because I love queso and there are already so few vegetarian options on the menu to begin with. What's more, the quesadillas that I ordered barely had any cheese in them. Disappointing. This is what prompted me to order a side of queso to make my quesadillas more cheesy, but alas, I wasn't able to do so. So my rating is based on the sole fact that they do not have queso that vegetarians can safely eat. The most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Then they skimped out on the cheese in the quesadilla. What is happening?! I will not be returning to any Chuy's locations moving forward.

    I've been multiple times, and the experience is always great! They start you off with free chips and jalapeño ranch dip. This alone makes it worth the trip. I also recommend the Chicka-chicka-boom-boom enchiladas. All of the waiters that I've had have been very friendly and have stayed on top of things. The decorations are also super fun. Also - they give themselves 5 stars on their own menu, and I can't find any reason to disagree!

    Service here is always great even on a super busy night when we went. Food is good for texmex when you're just craving some Mexican food their margaritas are always good here as well Overall it is definitely a place to come if you have never been especially with their chips and salsa one of the main things that keep brining us back here

    Good for what it is, Tex-Mex. Server was very friendly. Spacious location. Fair prices.

    I love Chuy's, who doesn't! The green enchiladas, the nachos, the salsa and chips, the drinks! Parking is ok at this location. Price point is reasonable and the food is tasty. I judge a texmex based on the salsa and chips Their take out game needs improvement. Like make sure you give chips and salsa especially when the customer orders and extra pint. ‍ Hubs didn't check the bag, so I guess that's on him-next time he will.

    Enchilada (Boom Chicka Chicken)
    Jessica S.

    Came here since my friends recommended this as an authentic Tex-Mex and it was packed to the brim on a Friday night. Super family friendly. Got the world famous enchilada (boom chicka) and it was huge portion size w a delicious creamy sauce. We also got a steak burrito which also was very enchilada-esque vs a classic burrito; however, I much preferred the steak burrito over the enchilada. Table ordered a virgin pina colada that just came in a regular glass and looked a little sad. Guacamole could use slightly more seasoning as well Overall well run and streamlined. Great service and decent food. Will def be back!

    I F'ING LOVE CHUY'S!!!! I love their "New Mexican Martini" (shaken not stirred). Their frozen margs are pretty righteous as well. I could bathe in their jalapeño ranch. Chips and dips to last you all night...but then...ya still gotta eat!! I used to swear by their Chicka Chicka Boom Boom enchiladas. The last time I had them they weren't great...so I went for the Elvis Presley memorial plate. The only thing I remember is that Elvis must have existed once and became reincarnated because I saw heaven while eating this. Melted cheese enchiladas, retried beans and rice, tacos...what's not to be a hunk a hunk a burning love? My husband loves their face sized burritos. And I cannot stress their Margarita game is ON POINT. Chuy's is a chains but when the locals tell you to go...you go.

    Delicious chips and dips (free!)

    If I rated on food alone, I would probably give this 3.5 stars; however, our server Josh made all the difference, so I had to bump up my experience to 4 stars. My friend and I came here because she lives in Houston and says that this is an authentic Tex Mex experience. The jalapeño cilantro dip was excellent; flavorful, fresh, and refreshing! The salsa was also great. We also ordered a small side of queso, which was plentiful and delicious! Their chips were also really tasty, light and crunchy! I wanted to pack up the leftover chips, and Josh took it to the next level by giving me a bag full with brand new salsa and jalapeño cilantro dip. For my main entree, I had the Tex-Mex enchilada, which Josh informed us they have an option with just one enchilada. This was the perfect size for my appetite. I have to say the enchilada was only ok; I've definitely had better. With Josh's recommendation, I also got a virgin pina colada. It was delicious! Not too sweet, light, and refreshing...exactly what I was hoping for. On top of the awesome service, Josh was extremely personable and friendly. It was also fun to see the kitschy decor here. From what my friend said, it is the authentic Tex Mex experience. For just the chips and dips alone, I would come back if I'm in the area again though I would likely try a different entree.

    I've been going to this Chuy's since I was a kid and considered it a fun part of my life. Tonight, my car got broken into in their parking lot directly in view of three of their cameras. I went inside to ask for the camera footage and was told none of their cameras actually work. What is the point of having cameras? I asked one of the nearby restaurants and they informed me that this is a common occurrence at Chuy's. Not only am I extremely disappointed but find this highly suspicious when you know break ins are high in your parking lot. That narrative sounds quite fishy.

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

Fajitas 3/5- I really wanted to love these. They look great and the cook was perfection but the flavor was super plain. I felt the need to add salt.... My partner agreed too. Not good. I won't be back but I appreciate it for what it is!

I had been to the restaurant before, had fajitas and they were served bloody raw and was just disgusting so I Never went back. We mentioned where we were planning to go to some of the staff members and they said do not go there and that it was too expensive for the type of Mexican food that they serve you.

Parking can be challenging on weekends, but there is complimentary valet and a few extra spots in a lot across the street. There's interior and exterior seating, with cozy booths and tables. Service is friendly. Chips and salsa: Superica has some of my favorite chips, crispy and thin and perfectly fried. The avocado crema salsa and warm serrano pepper salsas are delicious with a mild kick. The bottled red salsa is fresh and green salsa packs a nice punch. Migas: Scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and cheese, choice of chicken versus chorizo on top, finished with fresh avocado. I really enjoyed this combination and the generous portion for the price. The eggs are well scrambled without being dry, and the pairing with cheese is proportional. The chicken was a touch dry, but some salsa solved that well. I enjoyed stuffing each component into a fresh tortilla and devouring it as a breakfast taco. Refried beans and rice: Really delicious. The refried beans are of the smoother variety without as much chunkiness, which I prefer, and topped with creamy cheese. I could have used a touch more tomato in the rice, but overall enjoyed the texture and flavor. Patatas with salsa roja, topped with egg: I enjoyed the flavors in this dish, but there was sooo much salsa. The potatoes were thus a little soggy, though still cooked well. The over medium egg was cooked nicely and complemented the potatoes with creamy yolk. Bacon: Really generous portion for $7 as a side, and cooked well. Crispy potatoes: I enjoy that these are fingerling potatoes smashed and roasted, but they could be crispier. They seem to be on the blander side on purpose to allow seasoning to taste, and I really like pairing them with the red bottled salsa provided at each table (probably due to their association with ketchup). Hotcakes: The literal star of every brunch, these hotcakes are consistently delicious. They're massive yet somehow cooked perfectly through so that they're fluffy and soft on the inside and just with a slight crunch on the outside. The pairing of the creamy warm (!!!) maple syrup is heavenly. Because of how huge these are, usually one is enough to share between two people, although they also come in stacks of two and three. For reference, we finished 3/4 of three between four healthy and hungry people and it wasn't for lack of trying. Whenever I crave weekend brunch, Superica is always a top option.
