    Formerly Bahama Breeze
    Kerri C.

    This location reopened as Chuy's a little over a month ago. My recent visit on a Friday evening made it clear that there is room for improvement in some service deficiencies. Delivery of items was slow and my party's needs were haphazardly met. Our server was genial, though, and did explain that the staff was still learning the ropes. I'm sure they will find their grove with time. I really appreciate getting 2 dips (Salsa Fresca & Creamy Jalapeño) with the table chips, both pleasingly spicy. Wish the chips were more sturdy though, especially for the hearty Queso Compuesto, which we all enjoyed. My Baja Shrimp Tacos with refried bean and green chili rice were decent, yet not very memorable. The Spicy Watermelon Marg-tini is a delightful summer cocktail served with a cute shaker. I look forward to returning to try other items and give a higher rating.

    This used to be a Bahama Breeze and now the same location opened a Chuys. We noticed some of the same decoration remain the same but with a twist. Interesting they had a lot of Elvis' pictures. Not going to lie I was confused with that being Chuys but it could definitely be my lack of knowledge. We went for a late lunch and the place was packed. Not sure if it's getting the rhythm right since is new, but the food took a long time and one of our friends had their lunch really really late. The quality was not bad. The AC was not working so it's a little bit warm but later on it cool off. Overall could have been better, but we understand things happen. I plan to come back.

    Chuy's is back at Waterford Lakes!! It had a different vibe then the previous location. There are a couple of things I miss from the prior location like the chip/dip bar (from a back of a car stand) and the tortilla station. It was also weird to be in the restaurant and not get my traditional Bahama Breeze food. It was a pleasant experience tonight though. Food and drinks were tasty. Chips and dip were good as well. The Comida Deluxe Combo meal is a great deal. It's a big portion with a lot of variety. The waitress messed up on a few things tonight, but I understand that they just opened and are learning.

    I am excited Chuy's has reopend at this location. It is a spacious space that offers plenty of indoor, outdoor seating and a nice bar area. I joined a few friends at the bar before dinner. There was plenty of open seating at the bar. We enjoyed some margaritas from the Happy Hour Menu before heading to our table. I enjoyed a classic margarita on the rocks with salt. I often stick to the traditional. Chuy's offers a very good classic margarita. Then we requested a table. We were seated right way. Our waitress, Kayla P., was very nice, polite and attentive. She was very patient with our party as we were still waiting for others to join. I had another margarita during dinner. I can go to Chuy's just for their classic margarita and chips. Yum! For dinner I ordered the Fajita Beef Tacos. Served with 2 tacos, rice, salad and guacamole. Chuy's is a texmex cusine and seasoning. Very different than authentic tacos. For dessert we shared the Churros Bites and the Tres Leches. My favorite was the Tres Leches. Overall my experience was good and I hope to be back for more Happy Hour.

    We enjoyed the place this used to be, but I was stoked to get an invite to give this new concept a try before the official opening. Let me tell you I'm in! The chips are fresh the sauces and queso are all fantastic and the main courses are huge and so tasty! Our server Isabella was attentive and super nice! She gave us good insight and handled herself great, it did not feel like a training run. The margaritas were very tasty, strong and refreshing! We all need some refreshing! This was a great first impression we will be back for sure!

    A friend of mine advised me that Chuy's was doing a free event to help train staff and get the restaurant ready for opening day. When you walk in it has colorful decorations. We ordered one entree from each of the menu papers for each person in our group. The salsa was fresh and had a kick to it but it was still good. The jalapeño ranch was delicious, it had a unique flavor but it was addicting. Since the place was packed, it took a minute for us to get our food. Once we got our food it was hot and you can tell it went straight from the kitchen directly to our table. Our server was friendly and you could tell he was still learning but anything we asked him if he didn't know the answer he would go ask someone who knew. Everything tasted great and now that we had a chance to try several items we'll be back to try more.

    This is a nice addition to waterford lakes mall. The place is loud and exciting color wise. The staff extremely friendly and pleasing to talk to. My husband and I went for dinner this Wednesday or Tuesday. I don't quite recall what day it was. We were invited to try it before they opened. We absolutely loved the chips with the jalapeño cream dip. Omg, so addicting! I ordered the Baja shrimp and my hubby ordered the sampler platter. Amd of course couldn't forget the cocktails. Strawberry swirl for me and regular margarita for my hubby, both frozen. We want to return again this weekend because it was amazing, flavorful with a kick to it. See you again soon!

This was my first time experiencing a buffet for hispanic food and for this price point in Orlando, this is an amazing value deal. The server regularly brought us out silverware, napkins, and refilled our water. The place is decorated very fun and plays latin music which was lovely Not only was there an unlimited assortment of lunch foods, but an entire bar of fresh toppings for tacos (or rice bowls) and made to order desserts which were included for free! Not everything on the buffet line was the best but given the amount of options, price, and how good the great items are this is still worth a five star rating. I unfortunately did not take pictures of the food before I began devouring everything in sight to the point of near-collapse, but I will do a quick rundown of the buffet highlights: The best meats were the fajita steak, chicken, and shrimp made fresh in cast iron skillets, as well as the chicken lengua which was super flavorful and tender. The mexican rice, beans, fajitas, plantains, and street corn were also excellent. Fresh quesadillas, chips, and corn tortillas on standby with homemade queso and salsas. The flan and mini churros were the best I've ever had. Super rich, decadent Carmel flan. Mini churros hot and crisp on the outside, filled with a gooey soft milk chocolate center. They were delicious. Items that were disappointing: the tamales, mini chicken flautas, and beef chimichangas were just okay, lacking the seasoning and flavor that other dishes had. The beef barbacoa was not as tender or flavorful as the shredded chicken surprisingly. The mixed seafood was itself a mixed bag with some shrimps / scallops overcooked to much while others were perfectly cooked. The chicken mole and beef tri tip were room temperature despite sitting on hot plates. The tri tip also varied widely in doneness throughout the slices and not super tender. The rice pudding was pretty standard, and the tres leches cake was weird as they crumbled the cake into pieces before soaking it.

The server was friendly and was training someone new, so we weren't too bothered by the lag time between ordering and also getting our bill. We ordered a Watermelon Habanero Martini to start. It was delicious! Sweet and a mild kick. They provided a medium salsa and basket of chips. I really enjoyed the salsa since it is more minced and mildly salty but just the right amount of heat.Then we ordered the Queso which is not standard melted cheeses but a thick and stretchy cheese like when you do a mozzarella pull when it's piping hot. There were a few types of chips and pretzels. My friend and I shared the 4 tacos. She had 2 mushroom tacos and I had one grilled fish and one carne asada. The fish was tender and flaky. I wish I had asked for the flour tortilla since I'm not a big fan of corn tortilla but it was still flavorful. The carne asada was also good but not spectacular. We wanted a light meal before going to see Harry Potter at the Dr. Phillips Center so this was the perfect meal. It filled us up just enough. I would definitely come back. It was not too busy since we came before the dinner rush so it was a great experience. I hope they keep up the consistency!

We love the table salsa and could not find them in the restaurant to ask for more until our food was delivered. But after that, we never saw them again. It wasn't until the bartender noticed us looking, that we were able to ask for our check. There was maybe 4 tables in the restaurant during this time and 0 staff presence.
