We came on a Wednesday at 7. It was super easy getting seated, wasn't crowded. We had really fast service. Our chips were restocked several times. Meal was great! Our server was nice. Atmosphere was nice. Great casual dinner. read more

Chuy's - A loved meal (originally taco Al carbons) - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Excuse the white space in the steak burrito plate, but I couldn't help but to take a bite out of this delicious burrito. I usually get the Tex mex sauce our queso as my topping, but I decided to try the boom boom sauce instead. It is my new favorite sauce there.. cheesy and slightly spicy. Tres leches was amazing as always. I've been to all of Chuys locations in San Antonio and they've never let me down! read more

Absolutely terrible service tonight. Will probably never go back. Looking for the copycat creamy jalapeño recipe because that is the only reason to go back to Chuy's. read more

Really good service - not really the traditional Tex Mex flavor that SA is used to but still pretty good. They have a couple of good vegetarian options too. The one I had was the Vegetarian Enchiladas. Spinach, onions, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell peppers, serranos, roasted green chiles, corn & cheese in homemade blue corn tortillas with Ranchero sauce. The enchiladas were REALLY good with a good spice to them. I would order them again. Came with a side of really good charro beans and spanish rice. This dish with a water was $9.52 out the door - before tip. read more

The wait time was good like 15 minuses for 8 people to get seeded, I love the person serving us she is very friendly and funny and the most important part the food is amazing. 10/10 experience read more

Chuys is a place of wonder. Since their creation in the 80s they have strived to serve amazing and unique foods for every palate and they hit the nail on the head with their latest and anticipated Green Chile Fest. The Boom Boom enchiladas are exactly what they sound like spicy and out of this world. Their cheesyness and pulled pork create a spicy and truly tasteful mouth paradise. Come between 4-7 for their nacho bar with free....yes free queso!! Do yourself a favor and buy the tres leches as it is sweet and unlike the one you find at neighborhood taquerias. Lastly get yourself the sangria, margarita or Mexican martini. Be ready to fan yourself as the hottest thing in the room is that amazing drink!! read more

Love Chuy's. Stopped in for lunch this afternoon, seated in the bar area and had the best server, Robyn. She was friendly, knew the menu and didn't hover but always seemed to know when to come around. The food was good but my three stars is NOT a reflection on her, she is a 5 star, Food was 4. BUT...3 star review is based on the water. Typically I ONLY drink water but the water at this location tastes incredibly contaminated, Robyn was quick to respond to my complaint and went to another section for water, also brought lemonade it was okay but still tasted off. Water is obviously so important as you're likely using it to cook as well. read more

Stopped here with family in town while visiting a local friend. The wait was less than 20 minutes on a Sunday of a holiday weekend. I've been to Chuy's before so I didn't need an introduction. The staff was nice and bought out all the different flavor sauces to try on a platter and explained what each one was for everyone to enjoy and try. It helped in the decision making process. The chips were flowing since we had a large group and were waiting on our food to come out. I ordered a Mexican Cobb salad like the majority of the group. The salad was fresh with chicken, avocado, tomatoes, extra green peppers and without cheese on mine. I decided on the cilantro vingerette and it was a perfect compliment to the salad. Overall it is a typical Chuy's experience. Not my favorite since I don't think it's anything special but decent food. read more

Chuy's - Mexican Cobb salad - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

It's got your average enchilada plates and basic flour tortilla tacos, soups, Tex-mex food etc,. Nothing out of the ordinary other than the overpriced food. I asked for one of their salsas that was on the hottest side of the scale and they gave me what tasted like canned enchilada sauce bleh. Our server was.. odd. She came to introduce herself 3 times after she had given us our drinks with chips and salsa and she kept scratching her inner thigh in front of us not even trying to be discreet about it. That was quite disgusting. This was my first and last time I come here. read more

Chuy's has great food but sadly the service needs improvement. I sat at the bar to wait for my friends and was finally able to catch the bartender's eye, even though she tried her best to ignore me, and she said she would be right with me. Haha. Ten minutes later, after she had cleaned up the entire bar, put out new bottles of liquor, and helped other customers, she finally offered to bring me some chips and salsa. I said I would prefer a drink menu which she threw at me and left. She never returned to take my drink order and finally my friends arrived so I gave up. I suppose she was grateful that she got out of serving a customer. Once at our table, we waited 40 minutes before we even got a drink! This is unacceptable. If you don't have staff to wait on customers, I would prefer that you turn us away. We could have gone to one of several restaurants next door had we known. Don't just sit us at a table and ignore us. That isn't right. In addition, we were seated in the bar instead of the dining room and it was so loud and noisy that we could not have a conversation without shouting. There were many empty tables in the dining room and we attempted to request a change but could not find a hostess to assist us. Sorry, Chuy's, but I won't go back and be treated that way again. We weren't even offered a free drink or appetizer for our inconvenience. You dropped the ball big time. read more

First of all, it's important to say that authentic Tex-Mex isn't Chuy's! It never has been. It's a good marketing statement, but the company cant back it up. And the company has been sold to Olive Garden so you can expect even less than authentic food. I ate at the IH-10 and 1604 location in San Antonio for lunch today. Their food depending on what you order can be good and the cheese Chile Relleno that I had today was good. The refried beans tasted like canned, but the rice was okay. They have a lot of different sauces you can pick from and I think that is a plus for many people. My wife had the cheese enchiladas with their famous Tex-Mex gravy and she said it wasn't very good, especially the gravy. Service was fine, ambiance a selling point for many, but people come back for the food so this is where they need to concentrate their efforts. Hope the Austin boys made out on the sale, we'll see how things workout for the future of this restaurant chain. read more

Food was good and fresh. I only give four stars because they forgot my creamy jalapeño dip and I had to drive back to get it. The manager was apologetic and even gave me a larger size than what I ordered. I'll be back. read more

The bottom line here is that this place is a chain, and the food while tasty doesn't ring like the kind of place you would mistake for authentic Mexican food. I liked the Queso, and the chips were obviously freshly made, but they were thin and very, very salty. I ordered the steak fajitas and once thing I noticed was a lack of bell peppers in the mix, and the meat was not the quality that I would have liked. Service staff friendly and fast. Probably won't be back just because there are much better options available. If (God forbid) I was stuck in Tulsa, OK and this was my only option, then this place would get 5 stars. read more

Chuy's is a family favorite and we have a big family! Pretty sure we've eaten here over a hundred times! The atmosphere is great whether it is a casual business lunch, happy hour or a big family dinner... Chuy's consistent quality and preparation makes it easy for everyone to pick their favorite items on the menu and know its as good as it was every time before... Make sure you ask for the Creamy "Jalapeño dip" to go with their chips and salsa... Their deluxe Tomatillo sauce and green chili rice are just some of what brings folks back time after time... They will custom up for your special requests if they can and we never leave disappointed. read more

Chuy's - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Sunday 1/15/17 Ok, first, wipe down seats, they be nasty! Host, it is your job to make sure the seats and table of your guests are clean. If not, you clean them or inform the manager that the bus boy needs to get his ass in gear, okaaay? Second, our server Kassandra was on point today. She is small and friendly and deals with the busy environment very well. She is much better than some of the big gurls up in here with V8 engines but no octane. Of course, I come to Chuys for the food, they are still my boo. It was delicious today! Ok, so much relies on service especially when they have the D-list working on Sundays. Patti and Marisol are wonderful. Marisol only works weekdays and there is only one Patti, who works Sunday and weekdays. Chesley or Chelsea, whatever her name is, very bad hostess! She puts us in the bar and we sit there for 7+ mins with flies buzzing on the windows and no greeting or service. So I go to the hostess stand and tell her "hey, we can't get service in the bar so can we sit in the main dining room?" She replies, "ok sure," and does not acknowledge what I just told her! Already several tables have been seated after we arrived because she dumped us in the bar. Lately they have put the least animated and no-energy employees at the host stand. Change it up Chuys or next time it's going to be 1 star! Patti our server saved the day with her precise and on point service, she met all the cues and took what began as a bad experience into a good one. Chuys yur a** got saved from a 1-star today because of Patti. Good experience! Fajitas were grilled perfectly with a delectable char! Love Chuys!!! Manager came by to greet me! Love the hospitality! Woohoo! Getting my crispy taco fix tonight with a Father Agave margarita! Love me some Chuy's. There is an Elvis poke stop here yall. Better come get u some! read more

I've been to this location about half a dozen times now and here's my conclusion about this place: 1) They make the tortilla, sauces and margaritas (careful it has a kick) fresh in house so none of that store-bought crap. 2) Their FREE chips and salsa is bomb (I think it's better than Taqueria Data Point) since I prefer my chips ultra thin and crispy and the salsa to be just a little runny. 3) Their food is consistently delicious and fresh. I've had their burritos (which is nice and big), Chuychanga (omg the crispy fried shell around it and the green sauce make this dish, just get it!), Crispy fish tacos (my favorite dish here the fish is fresh and flakey and the breading is just perfect gold) everything here is a jumbo size but if you're super hungry, order the Elvis Green Chile Fried Chicken combo which is big enough to share for two and a good way to try the different sauces they make. 4) Service is always great. The manager (I forgot his name) took care of me above and beyond my expectations when my waiter disappeared on me (for Chuy's management team, if you're reading this I'm referring to dinner on 4/7/17 Table #46) he made a bad experience forgettable and I'm not discouraged to return. 5) They offer a free dipping station on their happy hour (4-7 pm I think) and typically I'll see the queso, refried beans, salsa and ground beef stuff (yummy!) 6) Yes, you'll get family with little ones here (what do you expect from a place with this price point? D'oh!) And at times I can imagine it to be a little crazy (though I've never experienced this, but I'm relating to other reviews) this place is a great value for a good quality, cheap and freshly cooked Tex-Mex. I know conclusions are made at the end of your experience but I for sure am coming back for more Chuy's! :) read more

Chuy's - Steak Big As Yo Face Burrito - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We bought enchiladas to go today. They were served up by employees that just don't give a dang about customers. No utensils in the to go bags. These heartless employees expect you to eat with bare hands. No sauce on the vegetable enchiladas and the enchilada was bone dry. This location was good for a while when they had a really good manager. Maybe the really good manager has left the company. read more

When we first arrived we were seated at a booth that was not clean and had sticky seats. We moved ourselves because there wasn't waitstaff around serving that area that was readily available to assist. We moved to a new location. The server took a little while to get to the table. He was probably picking out which designer Chuy tee to sport for tomorrow's service. The food was great. Did this make up for the lackluster service? Well, I would come back because the food was just that good. Tip: Ask for combo beef and chicken for the fajitas along with jalapeño ranch dipping sauce. read more

Chuy's - Nachos** - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I usually order to go via app. Today I had a few minutes so I decided to go to the bar and order to go. After sitting with no one in the area for about 5-7 min. The bar tender comes and asks me what I would like. When I tell him I want to order to go, he tell's me that they have a to go person and they can help me. Mind you, there is no one else at the bar... I waited another 2-3 minutes before someone actually decided to help me... I will not come inside again. read more

My first visit to this location was quick but wonderful! I ordered dinner to go, you know.. pick it up, take it home, plate it, and pretend you cooked! I ordered my meals and decided to sit at the bar while I waited. I was greeted immediately by the nicest bartender I've come across in a while, Tiffany. I got my usually, Texas-tini, and she told me she made it with love.. and I knew she was a winner. After a long long day at work the best thing to to find a bartender that is genuinely nice. The server that takes care of to-go orders was super attentive and polite as well! Next visit we will stay for a sit down dinner, but today my rating is based on this non-traditional experience. I recommend sitting at the bar when Tiffany is working, you won't regret it. She's a dang good margarita maker too! read more

Chuy's - Excellent bar service!! - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Really good service, no genuine complaints. We came at a great time when the Nacho Bar Happy Hour was going on, so we loaded up on some nachos before we ordered our food. I got the roasted chicken chile relleno and I've never had chile rellenos where the breading was that crispy and crunchy! It was a real treat. The rice and beans weren't all that impressive, but I'm notoriously pick when it comes to those staples (Grandma is the only one who does them right). I tried my dad's flautas, too, and they were also pretty good. I want to come back and try the other chile relleno flavors. Mine had the jalapeño cream sauce, and I loved it. read more

Alright y'all so my experience is based on the awareness and mental preparedness that I was walking into a tex-mex restaurant. Had I not have known this key fact I'm sure I would've been quite disappointed. As long as you know what you're getting yourself into you'll have a grand time. The margaritas are made from scratch and have 100% fresh ingredients none of pre mix crap. I had the swirl and I was very pleased with the taste of them. They offer free chips and salsa so score! There is plenty of seating as the restaurant includes a dining area, bar, and an outside patio. Whatever type of feel you're going for they can accommodate. Apparently they offer free queso during happy hour, sadly I didn't make it on time for the offer. Such a bummer but that means I'll just have to swing by again. The prices are moderate and come with a decent amount of food. I must say that their tortillas are really really like ridiculously good tasting. (Who doesn't love a good Zoolander reference?) The fajitas were honestly surprisingly good. The one thing I do like about tex-mex places is how they make the rice. This place kept up the pace and offered it without onions. This is a good alternative if you're around the La Cantera area so give it a shot! read more

Just had an amazing lunch. Every good Mexican lunch starts with chips and queso. There with my wife and kids we had several meals that were liked by all. The enchiladas were good and had just the right balance of flavor. The salsa served and additional flavors can help you to customize your dish to your liking. read more

Chuy's - Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Addiction = Hatch Chile. I'm not sure, but I think one of the first steps to addiction recovery is admitting you have a problem. So I am admitting that I am hooked on Hatch Chile. I don't care if it is on burgers or in Mexican food. In this case, it was enchiladas. I was working in this part of town today and found myself near Chuy's at lunch. I have eaten at various Chuy's locations but had never been here. This one is similar layout to the other ones that I have been in. You wait in line, finally get seated, and the chips and salsa arrive. Of course, you have to ask for the ranch dip, to make the meal complete. I ordered the enchiladas my way, which means covered in Hatch Chile sauce. Today, the Chile sauce was about as spicy as I have ever had. When I need Kleenex, I know it's spicy. I don't know if Chuy's other food is any good or not as I always get the same thing. Next time, I am sure I will order the same thing. read more

Have literally been sitting waiting for 22 minutes for SOMEONE to come and take even our water order, but nope. Nothing.

The food is excellent, the drinks especially the margaritas are, too. The atmosphere is fun & festive and the staff are very friendly & accommodating. Good value for the price, they even feature happy hour specials. read more

Our service was great! The chips and salsa were yummy but the jalapeño ranch dip with the chips is incredible! I ordered the Deluxe Chicken enchiladas and my husband ordered the Chile Rellenos and both dishes were very tasty. The atmosphere is very colorful and the place was buzzing with lots of customers, enjoying margaritas and good Mexican food. read more

Margaritas were very good! The wife got buzzed off of 1 large strawberry margarita Donna was a great waitress. Super friendly and kind. Will definitely come back again! read more

We have been eating at Chuy's (281 & 1604) for years but it has been awhile since our last visit. Had dinner there last night with wife and granddaughter. First sign of change/issue was when we got seated immediately upon entering during prime time. We were used to having some wait due to typical crowd. Second sign of change was the menu. What happened? It has maybe a third of what they used to offer. VERY LIMITED! Next, the quality of the food has become ridiculously mediocre (at best). The Chuychanga was served with requested sauce on the plate under the food and in very limited quantity. The refried beans were close to inedible and noticeably so as neither my wife or granddaughter ate any of theirs as well. We had to request tortillas and more chips so I can't say much positive about the service either. All in all, this is extremely disappointing as CHUY'S used to be very enjoyable. read more

Food is bare minimally okay. As a lover of Tex-Mex I was excited to try something so vegetarian friendly but alas, I was disappointed. I got vegetarian Chile relleno and enchilada. I will not order the enchilada again and I wish the Chile relleno was cooked more as the pepper was very very crisp and crunchy as though it were not cooked all the way. Service was great, though and the staff is amazing! read more

In San Antonio on business and needed to get a late dinner. I arrived 5 min before closing but the hostess was very gracious and let me come in and sit down. I asked the waitress what she recommends and she said the fajitas or the burritos. Now I get burritos all the time, but I realized it must have been 20 years since I had ordered fajitas, so I weary for the steak fajitas....and...boom! Great choice. The steak was sizzling and tender, the tortillas were fresh and warm and...I mean look at the photo, that is enough to feed a family of 8! read more

Went to have lunch here with my husband and mother. The service was great, and the food was amazing! I tired the vegetarian combo and it was delicious!! My mom had the southwestern, and my husband had the enchilada, taco combo. The atmosphere is very quaint but a bit noisy. The flavors were on point, and I can't wait to go back for more. I would recommend to anyone looking for a filling Tex-Mex dish. read more

Chuy's was awesome! For one reason or another, i've always put driven by this place and have wanted to try it but never felt like stopping by. Today that changed! Upon arrival the hostess was extremely nice and welcoming, we told her it was our first time visiting and she mentioned sitting us with their best waitress! Boy, was she right! Our server was incredible she was knowledgeable, friendly and made the entire experience great. Prior to ordering there was complimentary chipsdelicious jalapeno ranch salsa and basic salsa! The Jalapeno ranch salsa was so yummy! Currently, they're celebrating the Green Chile Festival and had a special menu we decided to order our food from that menu! I ordered the Burrito En Fuego and my guest ordered the Green Chile Combo. The burrito was was great it was extremely spicy (so be warned) but it was so tasty also came with a generous serving of rice. The Green Chile Combo was a combo plate of one enchilada and one chicken Chile Relleno(stuffed green pepper) with rice and beans. The Enchilada was one of the best Tex-Mex meals I've had in my entire life and trust me I've had loads of them. The chile relleno was beyond spicy and we struggled to enjoy that. read more

Came here last night, nice place. Super friendly and fun. Portions are pretty big! They hooked me up with chicken, beef and ask for grilled shrimp fajita! It was delicious.

Awesome joint and will come again next time Im in town. 1 less star cause of the beans. read more

First time here and NEVER returning. It wasn't a problem with the food but the server we where assigned. My friend group and I came here after a long drive from Houston and just wanted to eat before returning home. A few minutes after we're done eating, one of my buddies gets up to use the restroom. while we're waiting on him our server comes back and says "just to let you know I get paid 2.50 an hour so if you can't afford a tip then don't eat out" in a demanding tone. As someone who works in customer service I can empathize with her but the attitude she took was unprofessional and extremely rude. Before this interaction we where considering leaving a 10 dollar tip IN CASH but decided otherwise after that. We left immediately but just letting you all know to stay away from a white girl with blond/reddish hair or else you'll get harassed into tipping her for her services. read more

I'll be honest, I live in San Antonio and very rarely go to Chuy's. In fact, the only reason I go is if my sister is in town from Seattle. So I go about once a year, but overall I've been several times. I think Chuy's is totally one of those places to take out of towners. This place has a very fun atmosphere. Our service was good, can't remember his name, but he was good. Just attentive enough, and overall we had no real problems....except my sister always buys shirts (their t-shirts can be hilarious) and the t-shirt selection wasn't that great. About the food...We had queso to start - very good. For my entree I had the Burrito en Fuego (hatch green chile special). WARNING: it was pretty damn spicy. My sister also had a dish off the hatch green chile special menu and couldn't finish it because of the spice. Overall, a good experience, but not more than about 3.5 stars. read more
