    Chuy's is amazing! Everything is so fresh and delicious. Don't fear that's it's a chain as they source local ingredients with the freshness that you would get at any local restaurant around town. I personally love the fun colorful vibe, a love of Elvis and their awesome patio! My go to dishes here are their fajitas and the fajita chicken burrito or ground beef burritos covered in queso. They make their tortillas in house and you can definitely tell. So good! And if you are there when they happen to have the blackberry margarita, just get it! You won't regret it!

    Wow! The meal was great! The service was impressive. I explained this was my fist time visiting. The server brought out all their samples of sauce for me to try! The manager stopped by and greated me and the. brought me a "free " Tres Leches. Wow! Highly recommended!

    Unfortunately this place is lacking in service and food quantity. We walked in and was sat right down, but we asked to move to a booth because the tables and chairs are tiny and low to the ground. The host said this was all he had, but thankfully one of the servers asked me if I wanted a booth after overhearing our question and walked us over to a booth. Young female of color, was the only upbeat person in this restaurant, I wish I would've had her as a server! Our lady server came over and immediately was off putting, we order drinks and you can tell she just didn't want to be there, which is fine we all have bad days. We order the food and it came out with 10 mins, and I could tell them these plates had been served early and reheated, plates were extremely hot and the food just looked old. The taco was ok and you can really mess up enchiladas, so they were ok, my friend order a chuychanga, after expressing his love for them as a kid as they would go to Chuy's as kids in Texas. But this one just didn't surpass the expectations! Was hard on one side which is a sign of microwaving! And was just bland and blah! Sad this franchise has taken a hit, major rebranding has taken this hometown place and made it just another place on the street! Only tasty item was the margarita but again you can't really mess that up!

    This MEXICAN food is as close as I can find to real and authentic Texas BBQ. Sometimes their service is slower when they are busy; but their salsa is to die for!!! And their tortilla chips. I've never had an allergic reaction here, as I have SOOO many food allergies; so this is one of those restaurants that I just keep coming back to every time. When I went, they were still having inside dining; but with the new restrictions, that isn't accessible. While taking it home rather than sitting in the restaurant isn't ideal, it doesn't mean that I won't eat here.

I have been to dozens of Mexican restaurants in the Lexington area and there are two that stand out. This one and the me in Midway, KY. This place is like the Cheesecake Factory of Mexican -it's a big menu. If you talk to Latin American people or the employees of the restaurant, they will tell you that this place is exceptional. I had the Camarones A La Diabla and it was spicy!! Great flavor! Most Mexican restaurants don't show any heat or spice in most all of their dishes, but this is fire! Not only do they have a large menu but also have a lot seating. There are so many tables and they open another room on the weekends. They have a great patio when the weather is right and it is covered! We were there on a Tuesday night and the place was packed. They also had margaritas two for one and I don't know when they offer that but they had it when we were there. I look forward to going back and trying more dishes!

The guacamole was also top notch; fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. The coconut margarita was absolutely fire with such a unique and refreshing flavor that the whole table loved. For my entrée, I tried the house specialty blue corn quesadilla and it was beyond amazing. It comes with two large quesadillas, and I chose to do one with chicken and the other with mushrooms and zucchini. Everything about it was fresh and flavorful, from the perfectly seasoned fillings to the blue corn tortilla , iit truly made for an authentic and satisfying Mexican meal. Overall, the food was outstanding and the service matched it every step of the way. Such a great Mexican restaurant, I highly recommend!

The place is beautiful from the outside and the inside. It is a very modern establishment however, they have some unique qualities I hadn't seen in Lexington. For starters, they sat us right away even though it was busy. Next, we ordered a guacamole appetizer and someone came with a cart and made it fresh in front of us! I thought that was super cool since you also get to pick your toppings. The margaritas tasted amazing... it was truly a good ice cream base; I've had nothing like it. Their food is good, they have so many options and the portions are good but it is pricey. The vibe is super fun, it's like a genuine party. Definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't been. 10/10

This is only my second post, and unfortunately this visit was disappointing compared to our usual experiences. Our server was very friendly and attentive, which we appreciated. However, the beer came out warm, which was a rough start. We ordered the lettuce tacos and a cheesesteak quesadilla. It seemed like the food sat in the service window a bit too long -- the lettuce wasn't crispy and we had to ask for new lettuce for the tacos. The quesadilla itself was good, but it could've used some extra flavor. We also ordered hot sauce, but it wasn't spicy at all, which was a letdown. That said, we know what this place is capable of and this visit felt more like an off night than the norm. We'll definitely be back to give it another shot, because El Asadero is usually one of our go-to spots.
