    Unique interior
    Adam G.

    I love this place. I get the steak fajitas for two and enjoy every minute of it. Great date night option.

    Okay let me start with the queso bowl is for a sloppy mess - but gives the servers time to walk around and refill ur chips - I reallllly only wanted to get yellow rice and got that plus extra - thanks again

    A terrible margarita
    Steve D.

    really don't get the hype. Honestly, this place was worse than Chili's, and with spots like Tres Amigos offering better food, drinks, and service at similar prices, I can confidently say I won't be back. The experience started off on the wrong foot. I was seated in a booth like I requested, but immediately noticed a strong chemical odor, like someone had just cleaned the table with a heavy dose of cleaner. It lingered throughout the meal until the food finally arrived and helped mask it. At one point, a kid nearby spilled something, and instead of using a mop, an employee wiped it up with a hand towel. That honestly made me wonder if that's what they had used on my booth too. Service didn't help things. My waitress was sweet but slow and forgetful. I asked for water with lemon and got plain water that tasted like tap. When my fajitas arrived, I had no plate and had to wait around five minutes to ask again. I also really dislike when my credit card goes on a journey around the restaurant instead of straight to the register and back. There was also a moment that felt unnecessarily rude. I asked if the "beef" fajitas were steak or ground beef, since most menus just say steak if that's what they mean. She replied, "I don't know why so many people have a hard time understanding that." Maybe because the rest of the menu actually says steak in other places like the burrito section. The chips and salsa at the beginning were great. The salsa had a little kick and a lot of flavor. The proteins and condiments on my steak, chicken, and shrimp fajitas were solid, but the tortillas were way too thick and had an odd floury taste. As for the drinks, they were awful. I tried one of their signature margaritas and couldn't even tell if there was tequila in it. I upgraded to one with Don Julio and it was still incredibly weak. At $14 to $16 each, that's inexcusable, especially at a Tex-Mex spot where the margaritas should be a highlight. I already said it, but I'll say it again. I won't be back. I don't care how cute the decorations or patio are if the food, drinks, and service are all mediocre.

    Chicken fajitas for 2
    Amanda D.

    Love visiting Chuy's when I'm in the area. Service and food is always quick and tasty! Ordered the fajitas which are always great. This was the chicken fajitas for two and the portion is huge. This was enough to feed family of 4! I definitely recommend the Queso Compuesto which comes with guac - pico and ground beef all as toppings for the queso. The restaurant is always lively and pretty packed. We will definitely be back to Chuy's again!

    Absolutely loved everything about our visit! We were greeted and seated quickly and had a wonderful server who was friendly and polite and attentive our entire lunch. We enjoyed the queso and salsa and chips for an app and then proceeded to try each other's mains; the chuychanga and chicken chili relleno were the stars but everything was delicious--the green chili sauce and boom boom sauce were favorites. I wish there were more Chuy's! Loved our lunch!

    Chuys always has great food and a fun atmosphere. This time, the wait was pretty long to get our food, but it wasn't too much of a problem as it allowed us time to enjoy the chips & dips. We ordered queso, which is absolutely delicious here, and you have to get the creamy jalapeño sauce as well! The enchiladas are good and with the build your own you can choose two different fillings and two different sauces, which is great if you can't decide.

    I love some great tex mex food and this was actually shockingly delicious. Great decor inside too, very 1950s meets Texas kitsch. Salsas were fresh and flavorful and chips were light and not greasy. Great drinks and super affordable, nothing on the menu, even drinks, was over $20.

    Chuy's Tex Mex Restaurant is located in Land O Lakes and i75 across from the Premium Outlet Mall next to Bahama Breeze, Mochinut, Chicken Guy, Mellow Mushroom, Shake Shack, Pollo Tropical, and Fords Garage. Chuy's has an eclectic nostalgic atmosphere with 3 different rooms with 3 different vibes including an Elvis shrine, vintage diner style seating, a vintage diner room, a palm tree room, and a dog bar room where patrons can bring in photos of their dogs and the walls are lined with dog photos. Chuy's gives great complimentary chips and salsa with sauce samplers! I really like the thin crispy chips and the salsa has a great flavor! 9/10 Chuy's has a ton of different sauces so it's best to try a couple before committing to have that sauce with your meal! My favorite Chuy's sauces are Ranchero, Deluxe Tomatillo, & Boom Boom Sauce. Ranchero is made with fire-roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions, bell peppers, cilantro & spices. Deluxe Tomatillo is made with fresh green tomatillos, blended with green onions, cilantro, garlic, blended with sour cream, fresh herbs, cilantro & spices. The Boom Boom sauce is made with roasted New Mexican green chiles, tomatillos, green onions, & cilantro, blended with cheese. The Elvis Presley Combo comes with a seasoned ground beef enchi­la­da with Tex-Mex Sauce, chicken enchi­la­da with Tomatil­lo Sauce, cheese enchi­la­da with Ranchero Sauce, crispy taco & homemade tostada chips dipped in queso. This meal is on the heavy side and I could only finish half of it. 8/10 Deluxe chicken enchiladas come with Roasted chicken & cheese homemade corn tortillas with Deluxe Tomatil­lo Sauce, served with Mexican rice & refried beans. 9/10 The Appetizer Plate is a sampler platter that comes with Queso, bean & cheese panchos, fajita chicken que­sadil­las & chicken flautas with gua­camole & sour cream. 9/10 My new favorite is the Fajita Tacos that come marinated in Chuy's signature blend of Shiner Bock beer, serrano peppers, lime juice & secret spices. Grilled with onions & peppers. Served with lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, pico de gallo, flour tortillas, Mexican rice & refried beans. 10/10 The Kids Crispy Beef & Cheese Tacos comes with rice and beans or Mac and cheese, a drink, and a dessert. We ended up getting the Mac and cheese instead of the typical rice and beans! 9/10 The Tres Leches dessert came with a generous slice of Chuy's sig­na­ture cake made with three milks, served with house-made créme fraiche, caramel and strawberries. 9/10 Strawberry swirl margarita 10/10 Our server was friendly and quick to bring us more chips and salsa Chuy's is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the Land O Lakes Lutz area! If you're in the Lutz Land O Lakes area and craving Mexican food, I highly recommend checking out Chuy's!

    Family night dinner

    Quick seating. Our server was quick to our table. Chips and salsa are sooo good!! Kids definitely enjoyed this. Bathrooms are clean which is always a plus! Pretty big restaurant with a lot of seats and tables. There are 3 different rooms. One of them has doggy photos all over and a seating bar area which was my favorite. Server was really nice and let us know the kitchen was running a little behind. Refried beans are okay. Needed more flavors The Chuychanga was tasty inside especially with the boom boom sauce but tortilla was super sweet and I think it was probably because of the oil it was deep fried in. Overall good experience and best of all the pricing was even better. Awesome weeknight dinner for us.

    What fun to find a Texas favorite here in Florida! I am not in this area much but was so happy to have a chance to eat at Chuys. The interiors were fun, we had nice and quick service. It was great for the work lunch hour. Of course, it hits the spot for that Tex Mex craving!

    Chile relleno and enchilada plate
    Meghan T.

    Chuy's is the perfect spot for dining after spending time at the outlets across the street. The interior of the restaurant is bright and colorful; we loved the wall of dog pics (apparently you can bring a framed pic of your dog to get a free appetizer). Our server was approachable and friendly. We got the chicken and steak fajitas as well as the enchilada and chile relleno combo plate. The portions are huge! In retrospect, we could have easily just gotten one of the plates and it would've been fine for the 2 of us. Absolutely loved the steak fajitas. They had a yummy citrus flavor. The chicken was also delicious and tasted very fresh with the vegetables and other toppings. You could make little tacos since they provided tortillas too. The chile relleno had that nice pepper flavor, but it was a bit too fried for me. The enchilada was spicy and filling. Highly recommend the fajitas and the fun vibes at Chuy's.

    When will the full menu be served? Our favorites are on the not being served list!

    Are they still operating with limited capacity? Are they spacing tables out, or is it back to pre-pandemic seating?

    Is the creamy jalapeño sauce available on the limited menu?

    It sure is!

    How much longer before the full menu is served? All of our favorites are on the not being served list.

    Yes, mine too so I've had to make adjustments. I'm not sure. It may not be until full dining is available w/o capacity restrictions.

    Is Chuys currently offering the Nacho Car during happy hour?

    They are not during the pandemic.

    Yes thy have a section with Gluten free items.

    I was a big fan of the OG Capital Tacos. When the expansion happened, the quality suffered and I…read moredidn't go anymore. Now those days are gone, and the OG is back! The menu still has some familiar favorites, and they are fantastic. We ordered chips and queso, four tacos, a burrito and a few sauces. I had the MC yum yum burrito with beans and rice inside and added green salsa and poblano ranch. Fire!! I'm already craving another one. A few things I wish for- the physical menu copies need a lot more description . I don't know off the top of my head what's in an Austinite so I have to take up time at the kiosk looking up each variation. Also, the seating inside is not welcoming like it used to be. Other than that, we can't wait to return!

    I was disappointed when I saw that the Capital Tacos in Wesley Chapel closed its doors permanently…read more I was initially excited when I learned that the Land O'Lakes location was still open. When they're firing on all cylinders the food from Capital Tacos is so good. Unfortunately I've experienced problems multiple times from here. I called recently because I was frustrated that twice in a row I had ordered the ground beast nachos and my order was incorrect. The order clearly states "black beans & NO mexican rice" but I received no black beans. I wasn't trying to get anything for free and just wanted to let the kitchen know they were making orders incorrectly. The black beans are a main reason why I get this dish so it's incredibly frustrating for this to keep happening. Everything seemed fine because the next two times I ordered it my order was correct. But once again the exact same thing happened to me: no black beans. The quality of the chips you get also varies wildly. Sometimes they're perfect and delicious but more than once I've received burnt chips that were awful. It's expensive to get delivery from here and I'm not going to do it any more but hopefully they can fix these issues for their other customers.

The tostada was unflavored refried beans, unflavored ground beef, iceberg...you get the point. The tamale had a red sauce on it (still no flavor) and a scoop of ground beef on it? Not sure why. Also odd...the other guests plates were only what they ordered. So you ordered a burrito? That's all you got. None of the rice and beans and "salad". But it wasn't listed on the menu either. Like I said, the skinny margarita was good though (better than the regular); place was very clean and staff were quick and nice.

    Stopped in here for lunch with the family and was pleasantly surprised! I've driven past this spot…read moreso many times and we decided to finally give it a try - it wasn't very busy so there was no wait to be seated and our server was nice and welcoming. The chips and salsa are good - the chips were fresh and the salsa had good flavor. I had the shredded beef chimichanga for lunch - the cheese sauce on the chimichanga was really tasty and they put a generous amount on there, I really enjoyed the flavor of the shredded beef as well, would definitely order it again. My kids had the chicken ranch quesadilla and the kids chicken tenders and they both devoured their plates, so I'll take that as both of their dishes were delicious as well. The food came out quickly and our server stopped in and checked on us just the right amount of times. The exterior of the restaurant looks like a big red barn, and the inside was much nicer than I anticipated. There's some cute decor and neon signs with catchy phrases - there's booth seating as well as normal tables and it's very open and spacious inside. Good food and a good atmosphere, would visit again.

    Very disappointing experience at Vallarta's Mexican Restaurant…read more The service was poor and extremely slow. We ordered skinny margaritas, but they were so overwhelmingly sweet that we could barely take two sips. We also ordered nachos that never arrived. Eventually, our server admitted that they had forgotten to place the order. The chicken fajitas were another major disappointment. The portion and quality of the chicken were pathetic, it honestly looked like scraps. The photo speaks for itself. On top of that, the food was excessively salty. Between the slow service, forgotten order, undrinkable margaritas, and disappointing food, this was a terrible experience from start to finish. Unfortunately, we will not be going back.
