On April 111, 2024, I dined with my friends at Chuy's, Springfield Mall, Springfield, VA. BEST TACOS ever!!! I ordered the crispy taco plate with ground beef. Oh man, you talk about deliciousness! My tacos were hot, and FULL of flavor. I compared them to the taco I ordered from Chipotle's today. Chipotle's Do Not hold a candle to the ones I had at Chuy's. If you crave tacos, find your way to Chuy's or simply make them yourself--at home. read more

Food and drinks much better than expected. Fajita beef cooked very well, and chile sauce fantastic. Location needs to work on cleanliness, but is a very impressive operation. read more

In the bar. I've ordered some 'extra" of something, I didn't get any extra. But was charged for it. We ordered two meals. Two came out, one luke warm. The other wrong, they took that back, 10min later I got what I ordered. The Guacamole had a nice big piece of un chopped up Avocado in it. Nice they gave us to-go chips. read more

The best chips and salsa I have ever had for any restaurant. The chips or so light and the salsa are the best we have ever had. Both are made fresh in house, and the jalapeño creme dip is amazing as well. Chuys has become one of our favorite spots to eat at, and it's easy to see why when everything they make is made fresh and with quality products. Both locations (Woodbridge) are great and have become the only place we will go get Mexican food as long as we are near one. read more

Came here for lunch on Friday with my 1year old and my friend. We were surprised there was a 15-30 min wait but it went by quickly enough. We were seated in a sizable table with ample room for us and the baby. The server was kind and attentive and refilled our sodas without asking. He was friendly to my son too- bonus points! The food was pretty good for Tex mex. I did like the chips and salsa with the ranch jalepeno dip (complimentary). All in all a pleasant experience and look forward to going back! read more

Came here for a family dinner before heading over to D&B. Perhaps it was because we came at night time but the place was looking a little rough. The hostesses were great, super sweet and sat us right away. However when going to the bathroom to freshen up, the bathrooms were gross. No toilet paper in one of the stalls, dirty toilet bowls and paper everywhere.... Our waiter was very sweet and took our drink orders right away. Although he got our drinks mixed up he corrected it after we made him aware. Our food came fairly fast and I always appreciate when they bring out the kids food first. I will say the kids quesadillas were not the best and poorly made, there has been other times that I have dinned here and they tasted better. The steak nachos and the lemonade were pretty good. Overall it was nice because it was a family dinner but we were not too satisfied with our food and the ambiance. read more

Pretty empty on a Monday afternoon. Server brought out chips and salsa with their new jalapeño dip, which was pretty good. Ordered the shrimp quesadilla- came out like 4-5 mini tacos but were quite empty on the inside, the tortilla was very thick. The house margarita wasn't anything to rave about, very sweet. read more

I actually know that Chuy's location in FL. The Chuy's at Springfield mall is the worst. The food comes out extremely to fast and it's not good at all. The service was good overall. The place is always so empty. The chairs need to be wiped down and it smells like dirty water when they clean. I will not be back at this location. read more

Food is good and not I early expensive with good service and crew. The queso with taco meat really good and I catered grad party and had lots of leftovers so much food. read more

Wonderful food! The Mexican Lasagna and Beef Tips were delicious! Very enjoyable atmosphere with friendly employees. We will definitely go back! read more

This is a fairly lackluster Tex-Mex joint. The meal began (as most Tex-Mex meals do) with chips and salsa. The chips were thin, fresh, and tasty enough, and the salsa had some heat to it, which I appreciated. The chips also came with a ranch dressing dip with the chips, which I thought was odd. We ordered queso dip for the table as well, which resembled its counterpart at Chili's. For the entrée, I ordered roasted chicken enchiladas with hatch chile sauce. They were fine, aesthetically pleasing but somewhat bland aside from the heat of the hatch and clearly assembled en masse rather than crafted individually. Service was okay, quick at the beginning of the meal but a little less attentive at the end (so we got our check some time later than when we might have preferred). The waiter also seemed to abide by pandemic guidelines about wearing his mask, but I would not say the same for my fellow customers, who were not especially careful. More generally (and this is not the fault of Chuy's by any means), the area around the restaurant was filled with people who did not adhere to covid safety norms (e.g., virtually every group of people who walked by had at least one person not wearing a mask). read more

My husband and I decided to come here for a date night. We arrived Saturday night, a little before 9pm. We were able to be quickly seated and the waiter immediately greeted us and took our drink options. We received complimentary chips and salsa which also came with a ranch dipping sauce. I ordered the veggie enchiladas. I wish there were more veggie options on the menu. Speaking of the menu, it was so old and worn that it was hard to read certain words. Even our waiter couldn't make out what some things were. As for the food, the enchiladas were extremely underwhelming. It did not tasted seasoned at all. It was very bland the veggies textured did not seam at all sautéed or grilled. It was like it all was just tossed together, wrapped in a tortilla, and covered in a flavorless sauce. On the plus side, the rice and refried beans were good. I also ordered a piña colada, which was just not good. I give this place 2 stars. 1 for the friendly and helpful staff, and 1 for the speediness of our food. I'm in no rush to return. read more

This was my first time here and it will likely be my last. We did get sat pretty quickly and the outside area is dog friendly so those are some benefits. I'm not sure if the service indoors is better but ours was slow and lacking. There is parking since it's on the outside of the Springfield mall. It took probably 10 minutes before we got any water and took probably 15 minutes for him to come back and take any drink orders. We ordered nachos as an appetizer. There were no app plates and no silverware and we couldn't get any until the individual who bright out our food realized we didn't have any. Our server came to finally check up on us and I asked for more water, and the cilantro that I ordered. My friend also asked for another drink. It took 10 minutes for him to bring that out and we had to re ask for the water and the drink. The water was bright out but the drink never was. We didn't see our server after that. I had to go inside around a half hour later to get our check. I found a stack of to go boxes outside to pack up any of our leftovers. We ordered ground beef Tacos and the fajita steak burrito. Some of the steak was pretty burnt as well. I definitely don't recommend coming here unless going to the bar. The drinks are decent but don't suggest coming here otherwise! read more

Decent but not impressed. So, they don't take reservation which is fine. I called ahead and they said it would be about a 15-20 minute wait and said it was a full house tonight. We got there and they said it's still a 15-20 minute wait. We ended up sitting at the bar area, which was nice. However, when making my way to the restroom...there were SO MANY available tables. Like 1/3 of the place was empty. Anyways, it took a while for our server to come to us initially. We ordered fajita and taco salad. The fajitas were good--but they only give you 3 tortillas and that is not enough (for people who are gluten sensitive, they offer corn tortillas). The taco salad was VERY disappointing. It had no flavor, not much toppings, and did not leave us satisfied. We asked for sour cream because it was supposed to come with the fajitas but we didn't get any...and we were charged $1.50. We paid, but was kinda put off by it. We found out about it by seeing other diners have some. Our waitress was kind but did not stop by often, so when we needed something we had to wait quite a while. Chips were good! Our waitress brought us chips and salsa...but you call also ask for the jalepeno sauce...it's amazing. read more

Service was great but... god, the food is so basic and plain. I mean, really the best way I can describe it is Mexican food for white people who have never actually eaten Mexican food. The margaritas are too sweet. The food tastes like zero effort and zero passion. It's just... empty calories man. No soul here. But I guess that's what you should expected from mall food. The extra star is only for the good service. read more

i had been to chuys in houston but was trying the springfield location. due to demand the only available space was on the bar area. the service was really good and quick -- we started with free chips and salsa and ordered the guacamole and the veggies enchilada with green chile and red salsa the chips were fresh but the taste and quality of the chips and guacamole wasn't great. same for the enchiladas - the portion was good but the flavor wasn't great overall - nice service but average quality of food read more

Chuy's - chips - Tex-Mex Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Chuy's is my new guilty pleasure on the weekends. Have been there the last two Saturday's and have fallen in LOVE with the pork boom boom enchiladas. If you are familiar with the chick a boom boom enchiladas, these are similar but just with the most amazing pork ever! If you want the pork version you have to go on the weekends. The process to prepare the pork only allows for them to serve on weekends. For those who have never had boom boom sauce please do me a favor and try it. You will not be disappointed. It's spicy, creamy, and cheesy. It's so good that I ask for a side of it cause I don't feel like the enchiladas come with enough. Back to the pork...our bartender mentioned that sometimes it may appear on a Monday in the nacho bar. If only one would be that lucky. Haha. We've had the same bartender each time, super cool guy! Takes good care of us, and makes sure our margaritas never run low. I go for the martini margarita. Comes in a shaker with a cute martini glass. A cool part of this place are the fun cool t-shirts!! I was never one to get sucked into buying t-shirts from restaurants, but they got me. They have fun catchy taco/burrito references. They are comfy and wash well. read more

Chuy's - Pork boom boom enchiladas! Only available on weekends. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

One of the best values in Springfield Town Center if you like Mexican food. They give you lots of food even though pretty much none of it is healthy lol! I've been here several times and they are usually busy so prepare to wait. Also because of its location, prepare to o either spend a lot of time finding a parking spot or park far away and be ready to walk. Essentially the food here is like any Tex-Amex restaurant. In the area, it's most comparable to an El Paso Restaurant on steroids. On this recent visit, I had an Elvis Presley platter of food. It was a lot and it was definitely tasty. If you are in a diet, don't come here. For everyone else, eat all you see. My meal was listed as over 1200+ calories. That's what I'm talking about! read more

Went here during the holiday rush and we were still seated rather quickly. Even better we got our food in about 20 minutes. The food was actually really good. Nothing to necessarily write home about, but still a solid choice if you're looking for good Mexican food with nice portion sizes at a reasonable price. You should definitely get a drink (soft drink, tea whatever) because the water tastes they just scooped it up out of the Potomac. read more

I went to the spot on a Saturday afternoon for drinks with a friend. It was cool crowded met some nice people the ambience was cool.

Great atmosphere and wonderful location to sit outside for people watching. My taco salad was missing a bit of luster but for $12 I don't know what else they could have added. Chips and salsa at the table and the boom boom sauce that my daughter got on her burrito was amazing. read more

Been here a few times, it's always a great experience whether it be dine in or take out. Restaurant staff are always friendly and nice, never had an issue with this establishment. They have outdoor seating as well, which is covered if you want to sit outside. Complimentary chips and salsa given with your entree. The white sauce is the best, unsure what it is exactly but it's good. I always get the Chuychnaga, their version of the chimichanga. read more

On a Monday at around 7:45, we waited over 20 minutes without being acknowledged. We frequent chuys, and we were not given any water, chips or salsa, which from experience has come almost instantaneously. We were never acknowledged by any of the multiple waiters in the section. After 25 minutes, we decided to leave and notified the hostess who provided no response, only a rude face when we walked out the door. Usually chuys is the perfect place to get come comfort tex mex but tonight was more than disappointing. I wish I could give 0 stars as we only sat in the restaurant waiting for any service. read more

My daughter, her friends and I decided to come grab some tacos. The girls had a lot of fun just eating, and talking. They had the soft tacos and i had the hard tacos. They were very tasty. We ate outside and the setting was great with everyone out and about. read more

Chuy's - Hard tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

The salsa was extremely salty and not flavorful. The enchiladas were the worst Ive ever had in a restaurant. I've eaten TexMex in Austin, Arizona, California and Florida and was stunned at the flavorless food I encountered here. Skip this place and find way better TexMex food on Rt. 1 in Alexandria or Del Ray. read more

We use to like to go to this restaurant but the last few times we have been there our experience has not been like it used to be. Last time was the worst as it didn't look clean and we also encountered a roach. Will not be going there ever again! read more

This place was so disappointing. I've only eaten out twice in 2020, and only to this restaurant. 2nd time, I wish I hadn't. Nov 30, 2020 I traveled about 12 hours from Tulsa OK. I should haven landed at 5 p.m. at DCA, but was delayed by the airline for 3 hours in Chicago. Thus landed at 8 p.m. I've had a gift card from my birthday in Jan 2020 from Chuy's that I had been waiting to use the entire year. I had thought this would be the perfect time. Arrived at the restaurant at 8:52 p.m. and they closed at 9. As soon as we walk in, the hostess says the kitchen closes in 7 minutes. I said ok, but we can still order right? She said yes, if you hurry. Sit at the table, and try the menu ap on the table twice. Didn't work on Iphone or Samsung. Waitress comes to the table and says, the kitchen closes in 5 minutes, what do you want to order. I said it would go a lot quicker if you had a menu we could actually look at. She said to use the phone ap. I said we did, twice, and showed her on my phone that it didn't work. She looked for a menu, but couldn't find one. They had no alternative. And it's not my fault their menu ap thing didn't work. I am not their IT person. I said ok, I'll have the Chili relleno. I've had that before. She said we took that off the menu in March. :-O Wow!!! The one thing I was going to order. So said, how about a Chimichanga. She said ok. The person I was with got a quesadilla. However, ordered the wrong meat because the waitress was rushing us. The chimi was good. My dinner partner didn't like the quesadilla and said they put the wrong meat. I called the waitress over and said they put the wrong meat. She said you ordered X. The waitress then explained the specificity of the meat. And in fact, my friend ordered the wrong one because we were rushed and the waitress hadn't taken the time to explain the first time. The waitress did nothing to try to fix the situation or replace the meal. The next day, I was eating the left over at home and discovered a large bone in the Chimi. I could have choked to death. I feel they put it there on purpose because we had come in late. Personally, I think this restaurant should just shut down. It's obvious the staff would rather not be working. What an awful experience to be made to feel you didn't want our business. Rushing us. Saying multiple times you close in 5 minutes, the kitchen is going to close in 5-7 minutes. If you want to close at 8:30, close at 8:30. But if you are open until 9, serve a customer who comes in before 9 as any other time of day. Especially after traveling 12 hours and using a birthday gift card they had been waiting a year to use. In VA Beach, I had walked into UNOs 2 minutes before they closed. The manager at the front desk looked at his watch, and then said come on in with a smile and was going to seat us. We had actually just wanted carry out, but they were willing to seat us and treated us as a valued customer. Chuy's certainly did not. It was obvious they would rather not be there, close, than to have our business. I found it odd, especially in these Covid times, and having been only the 2nd time I had eaten out in a years time. Wish I hadn't chosen this place. Ugh!!! read more

Outstanding service and food as usual! I got my all-time favorite Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Enchiladas and absolutely loved it. You get unlimited complimentary chips, salsa, and their amazing creamy jalapeño sauce for your table as well. In terms of COVID precautions--all the staff are wearing masks and you have a choice of sitting outside in the shade or inside the restaurant. It only took about ten minutes for the food to be served. The temperature was just right and the portions are perfect. I am definitely pleased about my experience and will be coming back some time soon. read more

The chips and salsa got the stars. The food other food was so terrible! I ordered a combo platter (I can't remember the name) the enchilada arrived with solid unmelted cheese in the middle . Our server was nice but basically ignored us. I ate the beans and left the rest... didn't even take my leftovers. The server saw how much food was left and didn't even ask if we enjoyed our meal and certainly didn't attempt to remedy the situation. If you are looking for a meal I'd pass on this one. Plenty of other options in the area. I certainly won't be returning. read more

Why does anyone like this place when there are excellent choices for tacos and other Tex mex all over the plarea? We happened to be at the mall and were hungry and when faced with the four restaurants that are on the outside of the mall, we were more in the mood for Mexican, so we gave it a try. The one star is because our waitress was good and we were served quickly. The lack of others stars is because the food was truly awful. I had shrimp tacos and the soft flour tortillas were too hard to eat and the grilled shrimp had zero flavor. Every dish came with Spanish rice and refried beans. The beans were okay. The guac came in a bowl that was 1/4 filled with lettuce at the bottom. You do get free chips and salsa at the table, and the salsa is supposed to be the medium heat variety. No, it was super firey spicy, to the point we couldn't eat it. The prices were not cheap either. Definitely won't try this place again. Very disappointing. read more

I've never been here before, and yes, I know it is part of a chain, but the food was a spot on Tex-Mex treat. Of course, Chuy's big draw seemed to be the free chips and salsa bar (seriously, you could make feast out of their taco bar sections and never have to order a meal). The perfect compliment to this free fare had to be their Gold Margaritas which were beyond tasty. However, the score of the day was Chuy's Chicken and Shrimp Fajita!! A gut-busting monument to all things yummy. Loaded with shrimp that were cooked to perfection, this super fajita was able outshine all contenders. Their fajita fixings were equally excellent, as well as abundant, and I loaded up my tortillas like panic shopper buying toilet paper. I was also struck by how much food was in the my fajitas. I was able to make three solid meals out of mine.. Ok, breakfast was a little weird, but all I had to was add a fried egg, bam! We were in business. On the whole, my excursion to Chuy's was enjoyable, and I would certainly do it again. After all, man cannot live by margarita alone. read more

Not really sure how this chain became my go-to Mexican spot but it's a thing. Starting with the basics, their tortilla chips game is on point. The salsa is fresh & that creamy jalapeño dip is dope! I could really sit there and eat those with some margs for my entire meal (but that would be irresponsible). Not too many vegetarian/pescatarian options so the chile relleno, veggie enchiladas, & baja tacos are really the only options. Fortunately, all the variety I need is on the drink menu. The service is hit or miss - I've had awesome, engaging servers and I've had others who were pretty disinterested in all things customer service. In any case, I keep going back when I'm in the street and craving a perfect margarita. read more

Why didn't I know about this place during their Happy Hour!?!?!? Omg I def was missing out! First let me say I had their delicious food a couple of times but this is my first time experiencing their HH. I ordered the Frozen Lime House Rita and it was so good and refreshing! Joey who was the bartender explained that for their HH, M-F from 4-7, they offer free chips and toppings. (Pictured). It has chips, ground beef, vegetarian retried beans, queso and salsa! It is self service and unlimited for everyone! You do not have to be in the bar area to access this, it is available for everyone dining in! I have never been disappointed with their food...so flavorful and delicious! When I dined in previously before, I had their beef fajitas (which is actually steak) and so it is so tender and flavorful!!! It does come with tortillas, rice and beans. It is located right outside of Springfield mall where there is plenty of surface parking. I love coming here to get my fajitas and now HH if. Lol Thanks again to everyone here who is super friendly and helpful! Thanks again for the recommendation Joey! read more

I called asking about allergens before coming to the restaurant and never received any useful information. The first time I called, I was placed on hold and no one came to the phone. The second time I called, I was told that since I am the person with the allergy, I should "know what I can and can't have." I do, but I'm not a chef at this restaurant and do not know what marinades/spices/cooking styles they use. Gluten is often hidden in foods you would not expect. Sometimes restaurants marinade their meats in beer. It is not safe for me to assume that food served in a corn tortilla is safe. They lost my business before I even went there. To be treated so rudely for having an allergy and have staff be dismissive? I'll take my business elsewhere. If you have any type of food allergy, go to another restaurant. Those of us with allergies are clearly an inconvenience to the staff here. read more

Chuy's is located at Springfield Mall. They serve tex-mex style food. Chips 'n salsa come standard with each meal. The salsa is good, tastes fresh, but is incredibly spicy. I can take some heat, but this was way over what one would expect. The chips are also served with a white dipping sauce, similar in taste to ranch, and it was phenomenal. The chips are perfectly crunchy and taste like they are prepped on the spot. We ordered a variety of entrees. I chose the veggie combo and it included rice, refried beans, a cheese stuffed pepper, and a veggie enchilada. The cheese stuffed pepper was fried in a crunchy batter and when sliced the delicious cheese oozed out. Needless to say, that was my favorite part of the combo. Our table split the Tres leche. It was a pretty good take on a typical Tres leche. The slice was huge and easily large enough to split with several people. I can't complete this review without commenting on the creative decor of Chuy's. From wall to wall and ceiling to floor, this place is covered in mesmerizing memorabilia. In our seating area, the entire ceiling was lined with authentic hub caps. Our server, Drew was excellent, friendly and attentive. Drinks were good, though not very strong. Would love to visit again. read more
