    Soft Tacos
    Germanie J.

    I keep forgetting to add Chuy's into my Tex-Mex line up! But after having lunch with coworkers, I definitely will be frequenting... We arrived Friday around 1130am. Lunch time rush hadn't quite started so we were seating right away. The restaurant is quirky yet aesthetically pleasing, the menu was easy to follow and gave a variety of options. Our waiter approached us in a timely manner, however throughout the time we were there the attentiveness was inconsistent. He was really nice but seemed to be overworked and lost track of time. We had to inform him that we were on our lunch break and time was not on our side. Nonetheless, our food was delish! The complimentary chips and salsas are true contenders in reference to other similar establishments. I ordered soft tacos with beef, it also came with refried beans and rice. Will be back! :-)

    Food was always mediocre here but I will give them another chance when the opportunity arises. The last couple times I went, the drinks were really good and I actually had a good time. It's a real Tex-Mex vibe in here! The best thing I enjoyed was their queso and the fajitas but who could mess up fajitas right?! Bartender was the only service I really remember because he was very knowledgeable and nice to us while we were waiting at the bar for our table. None of the servers I had were memorable.

    We heard family talk about how good Chuy's was and we have been looking for good Mexican food. We were in the area and thought we would give it a try. OH MY!!!! The restaurant is decorated very colorfully and our waiter, Kevin, was cheerful and attentive. We received our chips and salsa...AND...the creamy Jalapeno dip. That was like jalapeno ranch dressing. Both were good and the chips were great. We ordered the steak burrito with hatch pepper, Mexican rice, and beans, and a chicken enchilada (a la carte). The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was hot. The green chili on the enchilada was bland and seemed like it needed another ingredient. The hatch green chili sauce on the steak burrito had good taste and was slightly spicy (for me). Overall, the food was some of the better Mexican food we have tried in the last few months. The cost was reasonable, getting out of the door at $33 including tip and fountain drinks.

    Rating 3 1/2 but rounded up. The atmosphere is nice but a little loud. The food "okay" or good/average, but not excellent. Very Tex-Mex, not authentic. I ordered the Comida Deluxe platter which comes with a crispy taco, which fell apart, 2 chicken flautas. (no dipping sauce or cheese sauce) Spanish rice, refried beans & 2 big chips with cheese on them ... ? I prefer charro beans over refried but I guess this is what you get with this plate...I probably enjoyed the cheese queso the most that one of my friends ordered. The jalapeño ranch dip was interesting....The Margarita was nice. I got the Perfect Tex-Tina I think. The prices are decent. Kevin was our waiter & he was great!!

    Fresh homemade chips!

    Shout out to our AMAZING, AWEsome customer service, server Blake!! He is fast, prompt, friendly and will refill your table chips and drinks without having to ask!!! He has exceptional service! Ask for him if you have a large party or enjoy excellent customer service!

    It had been a while since I visited Chuy's and now I remember why. I guess to be fair, all was well until the interaction with the manager came to the table. Zero customer service skills whatsoever and had no intention on actually listening to an answer for a question that he asked in the beginning. What would be the purpose of asking a question if you don't care to listen to the answer? Chuy's Facebook posting for National Tequila Day is was brought us in however when we received our bill we didn't have the happy hour deals on the ticket. I spoke to the waiter to inquire about the queso and margarita specials to see if this was a mistake on our part or the system to which Jay was unaware so he did ask us to allow him to go ask. Our table was then approached by a manager which I am told his name is Jeanaro which I am sure I am not spelling correctly. While trying to explain what I saw online, versus what was on our tickets he kept immediately wanting to cut me off, and then began getting very upset and trying to be intimidating to which for sure did not go over well for me. He tried explaining that this special was NOT all day however the post was clearly saying the specials were ALL DAY. If this was not something being honored at this location, he could have easily explained that to us without being confrontational about it, to which I am not sure at this point he's capable of. Although in the end this manager felt like he rectified the situation, in my opinion he did not. When dining out, I can pay for what I order. Taking $5 off my bill was not the answer. Help a customer understand the specials and pricing as asked. Don't just assume customers want money off a bill to attempt to make them "happy." What a way to ruin a dining experience for a party of 5 that would potentially come back to patronize this establishment. I mentioned a few times that I could not believe the place was empty but after this I completely see why it is. Which sucks because I love patronizing my Shenandoah businesses. Do better Chuy's. Or should I say Jeanaro please do better!

    I love chuys !! My favorite tex-mex spot. If you're an enchilada girl, come here!! Came in to get the Boom-Boom enchiladas, but saw they have a new Creamy Green chile chicken enchiladas! LOVED it. I can't handle spicy food, but the flavors were so good it didn't matter. I also tried the raspberry margarita. HUGE margarita and delicious! I asked for a sugar rim, definitely a must try while it's here. Our waiter Tyler was very attentive aswell! They made sure our table was okay multiple times throughout the meal. They also gave great suggestions. Vibes of chuys is always a great place for my occasion.

    Flautas were filled with shredded chicken (tinga) and cheddar cheese.

    Worst experience! Hosts were friendly, but waiter seemed to be annoyed that we were there. Once he brought us our drinks we barely saw him again. Then someone else brought us our food and we saw him waiting on other tables, but we were forgotten. We ran out of drinks and he was no where to be found. Food was hideous, rice was hard and overly seasoned, beans also tasted burnt. Tortillas were cold, not mildly cold, they were cold to even have a hard time folding. I will never go back to this place! I do not recommend this place! Quick tip: if you go to a Mexican food place and you see no Mexicans eating there, get out! Tip #2: if you see pizza being delivered to the staff of any kind of restaurant, get out!

    My family and I have eaten at chuys and done to go orders many times in the past. Sometimes there would be a small issue, but nothing crazy. This time they messed up our order super badly. I ordered the family pack chicken fajitas and they gave us both chicken and beef. I have a beef allergy due to a type of sugar contained in beef, and my other family members don't eat beef. We were unable to eat due to the circumstances. Our fajitas are also supposed to come with chips, creamy jalapeno, queso, and salsa. They packed a giant bag of chips with no dipping sauces. This is absolutely ridiculous that this wasn't carefully checked before packing up. Will not be eating at chuys again. If I could give this a zero star review I would. Save your money

    Me and my friends have been to this chuys twice now. This last time we went around 6:30 on a Monday. It's always been a good experience. The food here is good, but it's more about the experience for us. It's a very homey and kitschy restaurant, and is a great place to spend time. We've had the same waiter both times now and he's been great! He always cracks jokes and makes it a really fun experience. This time we sat outside & got dinner and a show. The local squirrels (named william and Defoe) were begging for our food & were fighting / really showing how much they loved each other. It was funny to watch, but it might be a little disturbing if you're going with your family (LOL). Honestly, it made the experience that much better & we'll never forget about that night at chuys. The queso and beans was great, but everything else was just good. The water was good. I loved how our waiter filled our chip basket 3 times. Overall - worth it & I would happily go again. Water rating: 8/10, very good

    I visited here after hearing they are supposed to be pretty good. I sat in the bar area since I…read morewas dining alone. This is an older building, but I'm not sure how long they have been here. In summary, I was not really impressed with my meal, but this is a super casual place and the prices are right. I started off with their house small frozen margarita. If you just need a basic one, this will do. It's nothing fancy. For comparison, their fresh margaritas start at $12 currently. Their salsa is served at room temp and you receive both a green and a red one. The red one was my fav. It was also the spicier of the two. I ordered their beef fajitas for one which is only $20. Let's see how it compared to my favorite in town which is much more expensive. Beef fajitas- these are your basic beef fajitas with store-bought tortillas. The sizzling skillet comes with 2 types of grilled onions, tomato, and grilled bell pepper slices. The beef is tender, I'll give them that, but the quality is low. You receive a lot of Pico de Gallo, not much guacamole, and an avg amount of rice and beans. The grilled onions were not grilled very long at all. I noticed a couple of the slices of beef were not cut against the grain, so they were a bit more chewy. Overall, service was average. They never asked me if I wanted a 2nd margarita until after I sat around for 10 mins and then even asked for the check. By then, its way too late to ask a customer if they want a 2nd drink, I guess that's how low key they are. At the end of the meal my glass of water was nearly empty too, but no server was to be found at the bar. In fact, they didn't really even man the bar most of the time with the 4 customers sitting there, including me.

The previous dining experience before this one, was not good, but I didn't post about it. I was really hoping it was a one time issue. The chips were so greasy you feared eating them for getting sick. The manager acknowledged how bad they were, and said they had an issue with the supplier. He said rather than not serve chips, they decided to serve them. They were inedible. Also the once delicious salsa has gotten watery. After my food arrived, I sent the taco back because the shell was the same as the chips. So greasy and the taco poured grease out of it. This last trip, the chips were better, but still very greasy and tasteless. The nachos I had would be about the quality of Chilis. No refried beans. Most restaurants layer refried beans, cheese and meat for SIX almost $20 dollar nachos. The chicken fajita meat was dry, and the beef was not good. A few bites were not edible. Another note- The once delicious tortillas were super thick and gummy. The manager came by and I explained everything to him . He didn't have much to say and didn't really seem concerned... other than taking off $2 of the bill. Which I do appreciate! It's still a beautiful restaurant, just sadly the food has changed too much for it be a top place for me.

My friend ordered Tacos de Filete, which she said were, "okay." We also had a few drinks... They were heavy pours. My only complaint is that the tajin-salt rims were more for decoration (smeared across the side of the glass and not very hygienic) rather than for the palette. Worth mentioning: We were never offered any chips or salsa, although I've read reviews where other patrons enjoyed some before their meal. Our server was friendly, but a bit disconnected.... Maybe that was the biggest problem - - the experience was diminished due to lackluster service.
