Went for a mid day lunch here after shopping at the mall. Was generally disappointed with the food, as the steak tacos were just mediocre. Chips and salsa were the saving grace of the experience. The service was fast and accommodating & the food was slightly overpriced for its quality. Probably won't be coming back when I'm in the mood for Mexican while in lexington. read more

This is our "treat" place for Mexican - the creamy jalapeno is AWESOME. They make all their food fresh and right there in the store. Nothing is frozen. They also will change up almost anything on the menu if you need them to. Being a vegetarian they always cater to my needs and will give me something new to try if I want. read more

Typical Americanized Mexican restaurant. Everything is loaded with salt and cheese. Two stars for fresh salsa though.

No draught beer but has full bar....how can you eat Mexican food without draught beer....WHAT A SHAME!! ILL have to find a place that has draught beer next time SO SORRY CHUY'S read more

great people, depending on who's hosting your table. I've been there a few times and had terrible service. I order a big as your face burrito and it was absolutely to die for!!! Food would arrived in a timely manner then some days food would be cold when it arrived to my table. Their chips are amazing!!!!!! read more

Bar tender was not nice. Drinks over priced. Cold and not a personal experience whatsoever

Above average food with a unique spin on flavors and options (sauces, etc), but the service is only average. I love watching the cute old lady making tortillas in the little room near the lobby! So yeah, good food and something fun to watch. Would recommend. read more

I love the pick up option here. Food is always great and the waiters are very friendly.

I've eaten at the original Chuy's when I lived in Austin TX and this location is amazing in comparison! Every visit I am impressed and treated like the most special guest dining. My drink is always refilled, chips fresh and hot and my dinner is cooked according to the traditional Tex-Mex way! We've had dinner parties here and quiet date nights all around I love this restaurant and encourage my friends to try it! 5 stars!! read more

The service will either be amazing or terrible. The food stays consistently good.

The wait staff was very polite. However, the food tasted of cleaner and the tortillas crumpled into sand. The wall, floors and dinning room as a whole was filthy. read more

We frequent here a lot! During the weekdays between 4-7 they have a free cheese dip bar car that looks like a car! I'm always happy with free cheese dip and the food is consistent and hot! There margaritas never fail either! read more

From Texas, and Chuy's is a Texas restaurant so to ease home sickness I are there and was pleased that it is pretty much exactly like the Texas ones menu-wise. Only the sopapillas are slightly different (they're more like beignets here). read more

Not great if you're a vegetarian. I had the vegetarian combo, and it was just bland and unappealing. Service was great, though, and the atmosphere was fun. read more

Came here specifically for happy hour to eat from the free nacho bar and have a couple of margaritas before choosing an entree. Was happy with the nacho bar, not anything fancy, but had chips, cheese, refried beans, ground beef, and salsa. This isn't what I would've normally picked, but for free: it's fine. Margaritas were nothing special, a little on the small side; but guess they have to get their money back on the nachos somewhere. I was highly recommended, by the server, to get the Fried Avocado for dinner. She told me that everyone loves it, and they had gotten rid of it for a while but had to bring it back due to popular demand. Have to say, the filling (shredded chicken, cheese, and maybe some peppers) was tasty. But I rarely got to taste that due to the thickness of the breading. Had to be 1/4" thick; which was thicker than the avocado in most places. I just had to eventually pull the insides out and leave the "shell" of the breading. Not sure if this is typical, but I can tell you I will never be trying that again!!!! So why did I go ahead with the 3-star review, instead of lower? The tastes of the sauces and filling were good; so I assume that is the same for everything else. Just steer clear of any fried meals, unless you like a loaf of breading with your protein!!! read more

Chuy's - Their Fried Avocado. Yes, that outer white layer is ALL breading!!!!!!! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I had high hopes for chuys in Lexington as I have had a great experience at several of their other locations. Unfortunately I was beyond disappointed and will certainly NOT return. The staff were both slow and curt; however this was not my primary complaint. Our server arrived at out table and completely neglected to take our order while telling a long personal sob story in a clear attempt to solicit tips. Several items in our order were incorrect and we were overcharged. The greatest disappointment was when these issues were brought up to the manager. Instead of attempting to remedy the situation he chose to dodge the situation, resorting to shouting and profanity. Very unfortunate as there are many other Mexican dining options in the area. read more

We love Chuy's! The decor is fun and festive. We've been both when busy and slow and have no complaints about service whatsoever. If you haven't been to Chuy's.. Try their creamy jalapeño sauce with chips! Order it on your food. Order some to take home (trust me, you'll want to). Order some to drink. Woah. Just kidding. But seriously, this sauce is THA TRUTH!!!! I love the steak burrito here. It is large and filled end to end with big pieces of grilled seasoned steak. It does not disappoint! I omit the spicy sauce that it comes with and order it instead with.. You guessed it, creamy jalapeño sauce! The chile rice is a little spicy for me but it was good and not lacking in flavor. Hubby got the #1 combo which was a little of everything. He likes heat and said his plate had different levels of heat on everything. It might have been too much. Not sure if he'll get that next time Definitely give this place a try! read more

Chuy's - #1 combo - Tex-Mex Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

See all

We eat here pretty regularly due to convenience. The food is just ok but the drinks are bad. The margarita specials are a joke. You cannot taste any alcohol at all. If you order one outside of happy hour they are better. The chip station for happy hour is good. read more

This is one of my favorite places! Love the food, you have to try the chicachica boom boom dish! The only thing they need to work on is the hosts' attitudes. They have been very rude! Not a good way to start read more

Nice restaurant, great atmosphere and awesome decor. The food was pretty good, but seemed to lack flavor. I ordered the stacked enchiladas and the green chile sauce was minimal on the plate. My husband ordered one of the spiciest sauces and found it rather mild. I loved the chips because they were thin and salty! The service was quite slow, but the waitress was super friendly. The parking lot is small for the size of the restaurant. read more

My previous visits have all been alright. Not the best, nothing crazy or unusual. Good service, very nice staff. Main problem is just the flies that I feel like are there every time I go, no matter where I sit. But food is great! read more

Alright tex/mex joint. I ordered whatever the lunch special #1 is. It came with standard fair, nothing was amazing, nothing disappointing. They do have some special sauces that I didn't notice when I ordered so maybe that could get another star, but currently just a standard tex/mex joint. read more

I've been twice now and experienced lackluster flavor and one time we had absolutely terrible service. I would pick just about any other Mexican Place to eat in Lexington. read more

I love Chuy's. The food is delicious, the service is quick, and the margaritas are killer. Try the blackberry margarita! It will change your life! read more

This place is one of our favorites now. Not only is the food fabulous but their staff is amazing!!! The 3rd time I went there one of the hostesses (I think her name was Stafani??? Been a while now) took my 2 yo and 5yo on a "ghost hunt". She must've spent a good 15 minutes or so entertaining them which was truly appreciated because we were able to nicely spend time with our friends while our kids had a blast!!!! And just as she brought the kids back the food arrived. I absolutely love this place....and so do my kids :) read more

Service sucked today. My server couldn't remember a thing so, to sum it up in short words the service sucked & it was overall a bit expensive for Mexican food I can make @ home for less than a 1/4 of the bill between 2 people (50 bucks w/ 3 drinks). I'll admit it's one of Lexington's best tex mex spots but, to say that there's no carne asada tacos on the menu it's a shame.... read more

I've been to Chuy's many times and have always had a good experience. Went today with a group and ordered the Wed. Special, a stuffed avocado. It was so spicy I couldn't eat it and the spice ruined my taste buds to eat the rice and beans. Someone else had quesadillas and had the same experience. It was such a bad experience I may never go back. I'm giving it 3 stars for prior good experiences. read more

Run of the meal Mexican food. Bland boring flavors . Their take on green Chile needs some work. Salsa is ok descents chips I like that style. read more

Asked for gluten free, discussed some options... They acted knowledgable. I ordered steak fajitas. Turns out they're steak is marinated in beer!! Never been so sick! read more

This place is as good as having Mexican food in the middle of Texas.. Is it authentic, no.. But it is sure good. Service is always good and the food never disappoints. A MUST TRY while in the area!! Happy eating!!! read more

I'm not exaggeraring, this is my favorite restaurant of all time. It's always been consistently good and the baja tacos are the best.

If you're looking for Tex Mex heaven, Chuy's is the place! My daughter loves Chuy's as one of our lunch outings. One of the few places she clears her plate! Best restaurant salsa ever. The creamy jalapeño dip is to die for. Great service too. read more

First time in. Waitress asked what sauce we liked, & of course we didn't have a clue. She soon arrived with a tray full of sampling bowls of ALL the fabulous sauces. After trying each one as she explained them, we made our menu choices & couldn't have left any happier. Will definitely be back SOON! read more

My fave place for Mexican, all because of the Creamy Jalapeno Ranch DIp and the Tortilla Chips. We almost always share the Nachos, because they are just that darn good! They make a mean Margerita or Dacquiri, and the service is always great. read more

Wow, our meal here was great. I had a veggie enchilada with no cheese, and the sauce that came with it was to-die for. Like excuse me if I don't mind licking the plate while ya'll are looking, good (I think it was ranchero). There was plenty of chips severed before our entrees arrived, with a fresh and quite delicious pico de gallo type salsa, so caution not to pre-fill yourself too much since the portions are hearty. There was a choice of re fried of whole beans (both prepare vegetarian). There was a lot of seating here, a busy place not far outside Fayette Mall proper. I was surprised how much I really did enjoy the food, very friendly service and interesting/entertaining decor... I guess it is a chain of sorts, but everything was really good. My one "beef" is that they couldn't subtract the red peppers for the veggie mix put into the enchilada, as it was prepared. Other than that we had a very lovely dinner here. choice of green chili rice? heck yeah, I love green chilies. read more

The guacamole! Let's be honest I really only go there now so I can have several different ways of shoving their guacamole in my face. Some of the best stuff I have ever eaten I mean the rest of the food is good and I love the place......but that guacamole!!! I don't mess with that salsa at the table no no I have my own bowl for my chips and I'm not about to share. read more

This was a very pleasant experience. A plus all the way from a great clean fun atmosphere, awesome staff and KC was very helpful. KC and the Chuy's team has earned my business. Almost forgot the food was the best. Can I give 10 stars. read more

Ok so me and my girl went here for lunch . The waitress was very nice ,respectable, knowledgeable and an overall great person . We loved the FREE food bar Car , it is GREAT. OUR FOOD WE ORDERED WAS AWESOME . The unsatisfactory part was our drinks they were gross . We will try chuys again. read more

Great food. Has become one of our fav Mexican places. The sauces are the best. And Mon-fri they have the free taco car during happy hour. Chips salsa, and meat, queso and beans all free :) my fav is the chica chica boom boom. read more

One of the best Mexican places in town. Creamy jalapeño dip is awesome. Queso is great and their homemade tortillas are awesome!
