Food is good and they have a number of items and sauces so everybody can have what they want. Free beef, beans, queso, salsa, chips during happy hour on weekdays so you can eat for the price of a drink (including iced tea!). It's a little on the pricey side when you get a full meal and drink otherwise it'd be 5 stars. read more

Its like taco bell food put on a plate and marked up in price. You wouldn't be missing much if you skipped over Chuy's. We started out by being told we would be waiting 30-45 minutes but the actual wait time was about an hour and a half, no big deal for me but for a lot of people that alone might have warranted a walk out. When we finally got seated we got our drinks, ordered our food and it arrived in a reasonable time. The food wasn't all that great, compared to the hype generated for this place. Overall if you want to get food like this go to taco bell and get it cheap, if you want better Mexican food Rosa's is better. read more

The food here is pretty good if you can keep the flys away long enough to eat. We sat in a booth in the bar area, mistake. Service sucks on this side. Our server had to have been stoned. We asked for water several times, to go boxes. He sat with customers ( ladies) every chance he got. Who does that? Your working, not hanging out visiting. He forgot part of our to go order and had to wait another 20 minutes. What ever you do don't sit in the bar area. read more

My husband and I meet once a week for lunch. We decided on Chuy's and had not been to the waco location at all , but dined at one in another city. It had been several years since we ate at Chuy's. My complaint is this, for our lunch which was two of the cheapest dinner we could find, small cheese dip, and two drinks ended up being $29.00. This did not include a tip. That is totally outrageous, and the food was that great for the price. I am sorry, but that is too expensive! The chips were not only cold, but very greasy. I wasn't going to ask for more, because our server kept disappearing. read more

The food was absolutely amazing! Everything was made fresh. Nothing out of the can. Original sauce, even the kids chicken nuggets were hand made. Not frozen nuggets. Great staff. Love the kick back atmosphere. It's a 40 min drive from my house, but I will be back. Often. I'd give it 10 out of 10!! read more

Basic Texmex food. Good margaritas. Friendly staff. Patio is dog friendly!! The "white sauce" is a fav with the chips and salsa. Great to come with a group. read more

We LOVE Chuy's! This is definitely our favorite Mexican food restaurant! The Chicken Fajitas are the best!

Service was excellent!! We were visiting from Houston and our waiter Alex was awesome. He recommended the enchiladas with boom boom sauce they were delicious. I would definitely be coming back. Food was great and customer service was top notch! read more

Service in Waco is slow altogether but I gave this Don Carlos three tries and now their OUT! The slow and sloppy service is inexcusable.

Until today, this was one of our favorite restaurants to visit when family comes into town. After today's experience, I likely won't be back. In the 15 minutes of waiting in the lobby, the manager on duty berated an employee within hearing range of customers then became visibly frustrated when a customer asked how long the wait for a table would be. I would normally blame timing for the stress, but this event was after the lunch rush and there was only a handful of cars in the parking lot. read more

Like all Chuys restaurants, this one serves great tasting food. I LOVE the ponchos! Also, the fajita plate is an excellent choice. Not organic or super healthy. That's the only reason I don't give them 5 stars. Service is usually professional as long as you don't have D-Ray. He was a serious disappointment. Brought us all unsweet tea when some of us ordered sweet and others ordered half and half. He was generally slow and inconsiderate with the whole order. I would ask the hostess for a different waiter next time. read more

They have an awesome happy hour during the week from 4-7! Their salsa is the best! Different consistency than any other Mexican food place here, chunky but enough liquid, and the flavor is wonderful. The queso is also soo good! I go there mainly for those things.. It is always SO crowded, so always be prepared for a long wait, even the bar is packed. One of my favorite Mexican food places. read more

Chuy's has good food and a unique setup. I tried their dine service at this location for a 2nd time since it's opened. The food was fine (although small portions), my tea tasted 1/2 & 1/2 although I said sweet. So I changed to a Dr. Pepper and it tasted like the machine needed a change. Ok - stuff happens. Service: Our waitress seemed quite young and newbie-ish. She literally left us (2) hanging to cater to a table of like 8 which was a little bit ok considering all things. However, my order was incorrect in that I asked for no beans on the nachos. Yet, it's covered in beans and could have been the cooks honest mistake or the waitress's honest mistake - fine. She just handled it poorly. All she did was pat me on the back and said so sorry then rushed off. Never to return but once more to drop the bill off. Again, she just said oh sorry and walked off. A manager happens to visit us, who was randomly checking on guests along his pathway. We told him kindly about the food situation only, he took care of it in less than 5 mins. Offered to remove it from our ticket and to cook it again correctly for less than a 10 min wait. We just said it was likely an honest mistake and we were over it already because times are hard esp for a waitress - no need to be fired over it. We didn't get the meal again, just got it taken off the ticket. The manager not only spoke with us but kneeled down to take his time to listen to us without shouting over us in a crowded place on a busy Saturday afternoon. We even tipped the poor waitress girl a few Benjamins and told her it's ok. She still barely had words to say and it seems she wasn't having the best day or times at the moment. We didn't get into it, just didn't want to cause no trouble either. Take away, if an order is incorrect...correct it somehow. read more

Love this place. Food is hot, fresh, and waitstaff is properly trained. Been to Chuy's in Austin, SA, and now Waco. Love them all! So much better than the other Waco chains like Ninfa's or Rosa's, Don Carlos. Prices are excellent too. Enjoy! It's all great at Chuy's. read more

This place has the nastiest rice and beans and their guacamole is way overpriced and not my favorite simply to do

Stopped bye for lunch on business with two associates. Parking lot full, but was seated within mins. Great atmosphere and plenty of selections. Prices are reasonable and you get alot for the money. Service was "great" (ask for Kylie). She's easy on the eyes with a touch of southern charm. Great service is a complement to good food. Overall, good Tex-mex. Don't forget to ask for their "secret sauce". read more

The food was very different than the one we've eaten at in San Antonio. I got flautas and they had no flavor at all. Some spice in the queso choked me. Maybe cumin? Weird. My boyfriend's food was strange too. He ordered cheese enchiladas and they had a meat sauce on them. Most people that order cheese enchiladas don't want meat. The service was good, the food just wasn't for me compared to the one in San Antonio. read more

Last time I placed a to go order from Chuys Waco they literally forgot half the order yet didn't fail to charge me full price. The order was only for two people and I placed it at about 3 p.m. when they aren't crazy busy, I dont see how it was that complicated... Being from Austin, I am a total Chuys die hard fan and have never had any problems in any of their 512 locations. Last night I went to Chuys Waco again and ordered the Chile Rellenos platter and my relleno wasn't stuffed with anything. I didn't say anything to the wait staff being as they were very busy but then I come to check my account this morning and they definitely over charged me. When I called to speak to a manager he assured me he would take care of it and call me back in a timely fashion. This never happened. read more

People tell me that restaurants in Waco, TX are generally bad, and that this one is the exception. I've been here only once and had a good meal - the chimichangas were delicious. The atmosphere was active and the staff was friendly. The price was ridiculously low! It cost so little for 12 people to eat that I was sure that they had made a mistake on the bill, but they hadn't. read more

This meal was VERY, VERY, VERY spicy. It was disgusting. They basically gave us straight up jalapeño sauce. It almost made me sick because it was so spicy. If you like spicy stuff, it is for you. The employees were nice, but the food was not. If you have to go there, get the crispy tacos if you do not like spicy things. I do not recommend this restaurant for any circumstances. read more

typical and wonderful place to enjoy with family and friends real tex-mex food.

As New Mexican transplants in Texas, finding Chuy's is a dream-come-true. Great service, excellent food and actual Hatch green chili sauce and options galore. Salsa is good, the jalepeno ranch is great, and they make everything from scratch, like baking and pulling their chicken. The drinks are great, happy hour with a house margarita and the queso bar is a deal, and the staff is fast and friendly. read more

Our waiter was amazing. We had to pass by a waitress a few times and she huffed when we caused her to be delayed. Good was pretty good. Will go back in the future. read more

I got the worst food poisoning from here that lasted 4 days. I ate there just before I left for a weekend trip and needless to say it absolutely ruined my mini-vacation. Do not eat here. Ever. read more

I try to make it to Chuy's on Friday. They have daily specials which are not available on other days. The hatch chicken enchiladas are unreal. I had them one Friday and now everybody wants to go eat them. Chips and salsa are always fresh. read more

Place was packed so we went to the bar area and noticed a roach behind the bar. We wont be going back.

Most of the food at Chuy's is just OK compared to the local Mexican food places, but the creamy jalapeno ranch dip is AMAZING. I can polish of a bowl (or more) all by myself! read more

Me and my wife will go here on and off sometimes, it's your run of the mill Mexicano joint that has decent fish tacos, the drinks are nice and chips are fresh but overall, but I must say the creamy jalapeño flavor dip is epic! it's just very run of the mill otherwise though! read more

Beef fajitas were soooo tuff, hard to chew and hard to cut or pull apart. Very very disappointed!!! Hot sauce is not good at all. The pico stuff they served is ok. Rice and beans were not good either. We will not be back! read more

Love this place for dinner!!!! Sat at the bar area and had excellent service! Salad was delicious and filling. Great prices on alcohol. Fun place to relax and chat with friends. Great drinks. Chips and creamy sauce were excellent. read more

We were visiting this restaurant on regular basis. This time no napkins-you go to ask them. bit more chips-you go somewhere to get them. Ordering same dish every time. but this time it was over-spiced but in same time not hot (temperature) at all. Got the need to wait for the waitress and ask for some sour cream. And this time it was not overcrowded even. Will not go anymore. And we drove from other city for this Waco restaurant. Ha. and my husband is always giving tips, for what?! read more

With the combination of mediocre food and bad unpleasant service i can say i will never be returning to this chuys location!! Sad because i love every other chuys ive gone to.. read more

Decided to grab dinner here as it was close to my hotel. Service was good. We were seated quickly and served chips and salsa which were okay. We tried the jalapeño cream and boom boom sauces which were also okay. I had the veggie enchilada while my friend had their daily special which was the fried stuffed avocado. Both came with a side of rice and beans. Overall experience was okay. read more

This location is absolutely amazing. Its always busy but we never wait too long to be seated. Best chips ever, the servers are always to nice. Food comes out quickly every time and is always absolutely delicious. LOVE it! read more

It's an average mexican restaurant. Food taste was not like an authentic one. However good waiter service. Sitting chairs and tables are not comfortable at all. read more

Chuys has some pretty good food. I like their salsa and everytime I have been there the food has been good. The iced tea is not good...the service is fair, but seems to be kind of a rude place with some of the people...I have had some great to okay servers there, but most of the time the servers are a little rude and that is annoying. The prices are low there so that and the food makes up for a little bit of grumpy service. If you are alone or in a small group and the bar has seats, that is a good place to sit as the service is friendly and prompt at the bar. read more

I really love the food at Chuy's, and though the atmosphere is loud, it is fun if you're with a group. I've never been disappointed with the food. read more

The young lady that waited on us today must have wished she hadn't come to work as the service was lousy and the food wasn't all that good either and Chuys is my favorite place to go. Sure made us wish we had gone somewhere else to celebrate my birthday read more

Love it. Haven't had any bad food from there yet. Try the creamy jalapeño dip. It's amazing!!!

The food is good if they get your order right. If you tell them to do something complicated like "put the onions on the side," your whole order will be messed up. Seriously. Their salsa is addicting ( which is the only reason I keep coming back) but lately, they have been slacking off on that too. They have a side room with hubcaps on the ceiling. That room gets really loud when the place is crowded. Maybe the metal ceiling amplifies the sound. I don't know. The place was great when it first opened but it has been going downhill ever since. read more
