I needed a late-night dinner and decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was super nice, gave me a bunch of recommendations, and helped me figure out a good drink to order. I ended up ordering the Wildberry Mule and requested it to be less sweet. The bartender recommended the boom boom sauce on any of the entrées, so I chose the Boom Boom Chicken Enchilada. They also brought out chips and salsa, along with a creamy jalapeño dip. The salsa was fresh and delicious, and the chips were warm, which I really liked. It was the perfect amount of food, and I really enjoyed it. The boom boom sauce was pretty spicy, but really good. I did think the price was a little high for what I got, but overall it was a good dinner. The service was excellent. read more

I visited here mid afternoon on a Saturday was and seated right away in the bar area. It took us a while for our server to make their way to our table and take our order even though the restaurant wasn't very busy. I had my thoughts on the frozen raspberry margarita that I had the time before that was so delicious but unfortunately they did not have that flavor this time. I got the strawberry and lime frozen margaritas swirled together with a sugar rim. The margarita was pretty good. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. For an entree, I ordered the chicken flautas. This comes with rice and refried beans. When served, the entree came with 6 flautas which to me seemed like a decent portion. I was very disappointed though because there was barely any meat inside each one and I swear there was no cheese. Which cheese makes the dish. They were extremely dry and I only ate like 2. The rice and beans made up for the dish. I appreciate the salsa and chips that get brought out to each table. read more

Founded by Mike Young and John Zapp, the original Chuy's opened up in 1982 in an abandoned barbecue restaurant in Austin, Texas. Now they are 100 restaurants over 19 states. Although a little different in decor, every Chuy's has the hand painted swimming fish, the hubcap ceiling, and the shrine to Elvis which was a fixture of the original store. I had a great first Chuy's experience with my girlfriend Holly in Pembroke Pines. On a recent trip to visit my daughter in Winter Park we passed Chuy's in Lakeside Crossing and remembering how much I liked it, I suggested we dine here for dinner. In addition to the multiple dining rooms, they also have outside patio seating. We were seated in my favorite room, the dog one. If you bring in a picture of your pup you can get a free appetizer so the walls are covered with pictures of people's dogs. This room also worked out best for us because it had two TV's and we could watch the Super Bowl. We started off with their complimentary chips that come with a spicy salsa fresca and a Chuy's signature item, creamy jalapeño dressing. It started out as a dressing and it is now a dip with a following. You can even purchase it to take home with you. Two dips can never be enough so we also ordered the queso that is a beloved menu item for good reason. The menu has a number of Tex-Mex favorites like burritos, tacos, and fajitas. Chuy's is especially known for their large portions. They also make all of their own tortillas and sauces. You can customize how spicy you want your food by pepper choice and sauce. I ordered my favorite steak burrito with double rice, no beans. I replaced the spicy hatch chili sauce with the creamy deluxe tomatillo recommended by our server. It was chef's kiss. My daughter and her boyfriend said they really liked their food too and with the large portion size, ended up having leftovers to take home with them. I love the quirky decor, value, and tasty food. We were in the mood for filling meal with a casual vibe and Chuy's hit the spot. read more

We had to make one last visit before this location moved! We love Chuys. The service is good and the food always comes out fast. You can't beat the Chuys aesthetic. I enjoyed the King's Memorial Combo, which comes loaded with enchiladas, a taco, and more! It's always a good time and you have to put the jalapeño ranch on everything. read more

I have such a soft spot for Chuy's, but the quality just isn't what it used to be. I miss the daily specials they used to have, as well as the nacho bar happy hour. I still enjoy coming here, but now the food is kinda average. The service is always great at this location though. I often crave the chips with creamy jalapeno dip. The atmosphere of the restaurant is really cool, and I love the eclectic decor. I pretty much always order the Guacamole Soft Tacos, and those fresh made tortillas are so yummy. The beans are also a favorite of mine. I have noticed the past few times I have visited my tacos come to the table already soggy on the bottom which isn't ideal. The tacos are still yummy though, so I won't complain too much. I still enjoy coming here, but I wish they would go back to the pre-Covid menu. read more

Chuy's - Guacamole Soft Tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I've dined at this location a few times, and this was one of the best experiences! My friend and I were sat in the bar area, which we actually preferred. The main dining room has an awkward set up, which makes you feel like you're on display. Our waitress came over right after we sat down with chips, salads and jalapeño ranch. She took our orders and our food came out quick. I ordered the Shirley Goo, which is on the "secret" menu and it's rice, chicken and queso. Our waitress also continued to refill our chips without having to ask. Halfway into our meal, our waitress let us know the computers were down. Despite the issue and our waitress being clearly stressed, she still provided fast and great service. read more

I used to frequent Chuy's a lot back in my college days due to their "Big As Yo Face" Burritos being perfect for a college athlete's appetite and budget. Now as a real adult, I've decided to come back and try a few other menu items! First of all, I love that there are pictures of dogs all over the walls of the restaurant! Also, our server Marley was fantastic. She checked up on us just the right amount of time and also gave some great suggestions. Now for the food reviews. Complimentary chips, salsa and creamy green chile sauce were brought to our table. I could bathe in that creamy green chile sauce... yes it's really THAT good. My boyfriend got the Tex-Mex burrito bowl which he said was pretty average. The presentation of it was really pretty though. I got the King's Memorial Combo. It was definitely 2 meals worth for me (I love when I can take some to-go for lunch the next day). I would also say it was pretty average. The great thing about this place is that it's very cost-friendly for the amount of food you get. I'd come back for a happy hour :) read more

Our server, courtney, made the dining experience excellent the other night. She was very kind and personable and even split our entree into two for us. We ordered the queso, guac, and veggie enchiladas with boom boom sauce. We come here just for the boom boom sauce because it is delicious. The only thing i wish is that they had cut up the veggies in the enchiladas a lot smaller, not sure if you can request this? read more

Chuy's - Veggie enchiladas with Boom-Boom sauce - Tex-Mex Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

The only positives from this experience were the complimentary chips and free water. The food was very poor quality and had very little flavor. Portions were small and prices were high. They supposedly are known for their salsas...but we had to make a special request to try them. When they arrived, they were not good at all. Half of them tasted the same and the flavor was equivalent to that of canned enchilada sauce. Ambiance was typical for a Mexican restaurant. Nothing special. I do not recommend this place. Save your money and your time. read more

Please let me preface with the fact that we are in search of a wicked, delicious Tortilla Soup. We're willing to go anywhere for one and saw that they offered one here. I haven't been to a Chuy's for ages, but remembered liking the food. So, we ordered a delicious drink that had Tito's Vodka, cherry, and lemonade. I would come back for that alone. We had a lot of questions about the sauces since we are both a bit sensitive to certain ingredients, and the server kindly offered to bring us a taste of each one. Game on! Their chips are light and crispy - we loved those. We ordered our soups and a platter that included many different things (to share). The soups were ok - they were just chicken soup with some crisp tortilla strips. The flautas were good, the taco was good, but I didn't love the rice, beans, or the enchiladas. All in all, their cocktail, sauces, and chips were excellent. I would come back and try something else. The service was great; they are really nice and accommodating. read more

Chuy's is a chain that has grown on me! My brother-in-law likes coming here so we have eaten a few times with them when we are in the mood for Tex Mex food. Their food is surprisingly good for being a chain! I usually opt for a platter because it comes with a lot of food and I like having leftovers take home. The complimentary chips and salsa also hits the spot especially with the creamy cilantro dipping sauce. I haven't tried a lot of the drinks but I can tell you my BIL loves the frozen strawberry margarita. It can get busy here but service has been great on the times we have visited. Vibe is casual and fun too. We will be back! read more

Chuy's is so underrated! I'm a longtime customer of their food going back to when they first opened. I've eaten their close to 50 times since then and I'm just now getting around to leaving a review and I don't know why I waited so long. I love their chips! Super crispy and light. They bring out their tomato salsa and creamy jalepeno which is spicy but I love it! We always get their queso dip too which is absolutely delicious. I typically get the steak burrito or the chicken burrito which have the best flavor of any Tex Mex restaurant I've eaten at. Their salads are really good too. Also their rice and refried beans are the best I've ever had. Big portions too. I always leave full and feel like I've eaten too much but typically leave with a bag of leftovers which I eat later in the week so it's a good value for the money. I want to mention that all of their food is served on extremely hot plates which is great because the food is always served warm and fresh unlike so many other Mexican restaurants. Last but not least, we typically encounter a great experience as far as the wait staff goes. Most of the staff has been there for years so they know how to be efficient and handle your needs quickly as the meal goes on. So if you're looking for some great tasting Tex Mex food and you like a some spicy items, you really can't beat Chuy's! A+ read more

Delicious food that came out fast and hot. Attentive service. Fun ambiance. I ordered the Mexi-Cobb salad. This makes top five salads for me. It was absolutely delicious and filled with some many good toppings. It was very filling. I also thought the creamy jalapeno ranch was the perfect dressing. Creamy and just the right amount of spicy. This is just an all-around great Tex-mex option in the area. read more

Not my first time here and have to say I order the panchos every time. Basically bigger nacho with cheese,beans, chicken and pico on top. Never fails, it's super filling and great to share. This time around we wanted a little something so we got the queso, now not that it was bad but it's definitely not worth almost $10. It's a more on the liquid side than thick kind of queso. Just don't see why it would be that much for what you're getting. I could've basically gotten another meal instead of that. So for sure won't be ordering that in the future. Seems like the times I've gone it's been pretty quick seating. It's busy but not to the point where they have you waiting 10-15 mins. So for the most part pretty quiet. I'm sure I'll be visiting soon read more

We were in Orlando visiting close family friends when we decided to step out for lunch! Anita who originally is from Texas suggested we should try out Chuy's and it's Tex-American cuisine! Coincidentally my son had also mentioned this place as it has a location in South Florida too! On arriving we were seated immediately and our server Kellee was very helpful and made us feel at ease right away. The restaurant was clean, bright and warm. The wifey ordered the cheese enchilada and steak taco combo and I ordered the combination chicken enchilada made with two different sauces. Both our meals were excellent and we really enjoyed our lunch! The complementary nachos were also a very nice touch. Fellow yelpers I would highly recommend you trying out this place if in the area and we will definitely try out the one closer to home once we get back! read more

Because we couldn't find a parking spot at Trader Joe's we parked in the garage behind Chudy's. Since it was almost lunch time and we like Mexican food we stopped in. My wife is originally from Arizona and grew up on really good southwest cooking many years ago. She has never found a good red chile sauce for enchiladas as good as she had then - until we tried Chuy's. It was a thick, creamy, rich sauce.and was the best! So, our food was outstanding and we had friendly efficient service, too. The generous portion meant we have some delicious leftovers, along with extra sauce the really nice server gave us. We'll be back! read more

Not the biggest fan of this place... it feels extremely fast foody. The chips and salsa they bring to the table are nice, and the queso was pretty good. My empanadas were ok. The watermelon drink I had was so syrupy I had to return it, but the service was good and he didn't charge me for it (I had one sip.) read more

Wonderful and amazing. After waiting an hour at another restaurant on a Tuesday night we called chuys! They said come on we have a table ready for your now. Arrived and table was ready for our party of 10 with chips and salsa ready! Chris was our waiter and we was attentive and catered to each of us. The food was fast and delicious. Thank you Chuys. You saved the day for a birthday celebration and we will definitely be back. read more

Two years ago I dined at the Chuy's in Houston,Tx. , and it was wonderful. Texas is highly competitive and particular about Texas-Mex cuisine. Orlando isn't ! Not since the days of Paco's . I decided to try Chuy's in Winter Park . Big mistake; waste of money. Whenever a restaurant brings out your food within minutes of ordering it, beware. This means it was prepared and sitting in a refrigerator, then heated up in an oven or worse, microwaved. The food , all of it, was tasteless. No zest or flavor whatsoever. Sadly, most Tex-Mex restaurants in Orlando, that I've been too ,mimic the same protocol, previously prepared, heated-up, overpriced attempts at true , Tex-Mex cuisine. Eating out should always be a special experience. Chuy's failed at that mission, though the server was excellent. read more

Went there on Saturday night. We used to go often and it was my husbands and I's "place". Don't know why we stopped because everything was wonderful. Both had margaritas; and in my opinion they are truly some of the best around. I had a chicken fajita and he had a chuychanga. Delicious. And though we have special requests with both our orders they always get it right! Our server Blake remembered us too and was also excellent. read more

Chuy's in Winter Park is extremely OK! The convenient parking garage behind the building makes for easy access, and even though we arrived on a busy Saturday night right behind a limo full of teenagers, we were promptly seated and served by their courteous staff. The food pricing is surprisingly affordable, comparable to fast-casual options like Tijuana Flats or Chipotle. However, Chuy's offers a full-service dining experience with generous portions. My son's kid's meal was a typical chicken finger item, while my wife's Comida Deluxe was massive, and my Elvis Presley Memorial Combo was equally impressive. We both had leftovers for days! While the food is tasty, there's not a lot of variety beyond the different proteins (ground beef, shredded chicken, fajita steak or chicken) and sauces. Most dishes are essentially variations on a theme: a baked dish with one of the four proteins covered in a sauce...it's honestly a little homogenous. Despite this, Chuy's is a great value for the quality and quantity of food. The festive and unique decor adds to the experience, although it might be a bit too gimmicky for me. Overall, the good food, attentive service, and fun atmosphere make Chuy's a worthwhile dining choice. We dropped about $50 + tip for a family of 2 adults and one child, which isn't too expensive for what's typical for eating out nowadays. read more

Chuys happy hour is my absolute favorite, the drink deals are great and you get free chips and two dips. A salsa and a white cilantro/ jalapeño cream dip that is amazing! The rest of their menu is great too. If you bring a framed picture of your dog you get a free appetizer read more

The food was good but the chili relleno was not cooked soft. It was green the color of a bell pepper i had to use fork n knife to cut it. So i spoke with manager about it n he kept telling me how it was prepared n same way every time. asked me wat i wanted to do about it. i told him bottom line it's always cooked soft just letting him know read more

I can't believe I had never been to Chuy's before. This place is amazing! Just the chips with creamy jalapeño and salsa are worth the trip. I also got the taco salad with fajita beef and I couldn't believe the quality and quantity for just $12. All the ingredients were super fresh, and the bowl was so big I had to take half of it back home. Another thing I loved was the decoration of the restaurant. It's cute, fun, and funky. The booths are so comfy you just wanna stay there eating chips and salsa forever. The service was also amazing. Our server was super friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back! read more

We come here pretty frequently and love Chuy's! Luckily there's ample parking in the lot and garage next door. There's outdoor seating that allows us to bring our dog. And overall, the food and drinks are really tasty (I could eat the chips and creamy jalapeño dip all day)! About a week ago, I got off work late but was really craving Chuy's. It was already around 7:30 pm at that point, and the restaurant closed at 9 pm. We decided to go and try to make it a quick in and out if possible (I used to work in a restaurant and so I know how it is to deal with customers coming in super last minute, so we tried to be conscious of that). We were seated quickly, and we ordered as soon as possible and we were out the door by 8:40 pm. Our server Blake was really great! He was very accommodating despite it being late. Even though he was busy helping with closing, he was able to get us what we needed. read more

Amazing food and great service!! Nice & clean. A happy atmosphere! Highly recommend!!! read more

food is mid, not much different than chili's. drinks are average but pretty generous portions.

Do not sleep on Chuys!! I absolutely LOVE the Enchiladas from here and might dare say, they are my favorite. Reason being, Chuys is one of the only places that serves HATCH Green Chili Salsa!! No other mexican restaurant serves that, well that i can find so far! I love the green salsa with that nice spice to it really makes the enchiladas pop. The rice and refried beans also go hard here -- they dont miss! Love their margaritas as well, especially the frozen ones. I continue to come back to Chuys for the great food - i know its a chain i dont care!! Service is always good then we come and the servers have a good time with you. Bring back the Nacho Car for Happy Hour !!! read more

You can never go wrong with Chuy's dishes especially with that creamy jalapeño sauce! THAT just goes good with anything. I've been here before when they first opened and I love the decor and layout of this establishment. Average rating for average ok service. Our waitress didn't refill any of waters and was just not attentive. My friend wanted jalapeño sauce on the side with her dish and she never got it. When asked for it, she made a face. I had my own as I ate it with the chips but she wanted one with her meal...not sure why she was disgruntled:/ Any who, the hostess was very nice and welcoming. The food came out so fast and top notch! read more

More limited menu. Sign on the building says chile rellenos available, but no longer. One gets the feeling this was once a great place. I ordered cheese enchiladas. Price is good. Hatch chile sauce, which was good. But the plate had stayed under the heat lamp for a while waiting for a wait staff person to pick it up, the mildly charred evidence plain to see. The enchiladas used masa harina (wheat flour) tortillas. The chips are almost thin, and they're very salty. This might sell liquor, but doesn't please the palate. I might have tried the $9 guacamole, but the chips are awful and wouldn't make good dippers. The wait staff is very polite. The overall impression of the rest is: Meh. Not enough reason to return-- there are only a handful of selections compared to other Tex-Mex Restaurants. At least their restrooms were clean. read more

Went to check this place out the other day. I was starving and my gf wanted Mexican and said this place was good. She ordered the queso and I'm not a big fan of yellow queso but I tried it. Still solid but the chips were to salty. The salsa was mid and I don't understand Mexican or tex-mex places that give ranch with chips.. for my main I got the tacos al carbon. I got a chicken and beef taco. If you can tell by the picture it's nothing special to me. The chicken didn't taste good and the beef was okay. Overall give everything a 4/10. Our server was a chill guy though. read more

Chuy's is a local Mexican chain restaurant. This one is located in Winter Park. I have been here before but came the other day for lunch with my coworkers. They have a really fun vibe with lots of colors, pictures of doggies everywhere and hubcaps on the ceiling. They have booths and tables and seating at the bar as well. It was lunch time so we didn't have to wait long. We were seated quickly, our server came over quickly and took our drink order right away. After we ordered, our food came literally in less than 5 minutes. I was shocked! We had a burrito, enchiladas and a salad so not really hard to make but it was fast and HOT! They start you off with chips and salsa. I also asked for creamy jalapeno sauce instead of the salsa. The creamy jalapeno is spicy but I love it and use it on everything! I usually order the same thing, cheese enchiladas with the tex mex sauce. They are two enchiladas with cheese and the sauce. YUM OH! It comes with rice and beans, I don't like refried beans so I always get double rice. Tip: add the creamy jalapeno sauce to the rice!! I have also had the fajitas (steak and chicken), and the tortilla soup. Everything is really delicious. I have never had a bad meal here. Everything tastes so fresh and comes out hot and is really just delicious. Their tortillas are made fresh, with an employee hand rolling and cooking them in the restaurant. I am a big fan of Mexican food, and yes this is a chain with locations around but it is a really great chain. Everything is fresh, it tastes awesome and is just really good! You definitely need to try it. It does get busy in the evening so you might have to wait but it is worth it. read more

I already lost count of how many Chuy's we've visited... but whenever we get a chance to be near one we don't think twice about stopping by. We were visiting family this weekend and on our way back home we saw this was on the way so, got there at around 11am, grabbed 2 spots at the bar area, and started with our usual salsa and creamy jalapeno sauces, with chips. The jalapeno sauce was a bit spicier than the other locations but still amazing! We also ordered the Queso which was terrific and guacamole. Being a Sunday at brunch time I was in the mood for a mimos, luckily they had sparkling wine in a can, and they gave a glass of orange juice to make it. After two of these (and his two margaritas), a refill of chips, and all the sauces gone, we ordered Enchiladas to go (too full to eat anything else but can't leave without them), and left full and happy these chain is always consistent and regardless of the location it never disappoints. read more
