Took a coworker to lunch the other day and they requested Mexican food. I did a search in the area and came across Don Chuys. I am glad I did. I do not eat a lot of Mexican food because I usually will just get a chicken burrito. And I got a chicken burrito and I would do it again. There was juicy tender chicken throughout with rice and beans inside. It came with sour cream and lettuce on the side with a nice mild soicy wet cheesy sauce. I really enjoyed the chips and pico de gallo which looked like it would just be tomatoes and onions but had Avery nice flavor. Props to the place for a solid fountain Diet Coke too. Just on the food I'd give it 3.5 stars even though I'm a boring order. They get 5 stars because I thought the service was so great. Friendly staff. Helpful staff. Always around you staff. And I think Chuy himself was helping out in the restaurant. I'm coming back for more and next time I'm not getting a burrito...hopefully. read more

We were looking for a local Taco Tuesday spot and came across Don Chuy after hearing a lot about their dollar tacos so we decided to check it out. If you're expecting to get full off four tacos you probably won't. You really need about eight to ten to feel satisfied since they are more street taco style and closer to a few bites each. They do give you one complimentary basket of chips and salsa, which was nice, but anything extra is $1.99. I tried almost every flavor and honestly they all tasted pretty similar to me. The one standout was the crunchy potato taco, which was a bit bigger and more like a crunchy salad style taco. I actually really liked that one. The host seated us right away she was very pleasant and so were many of the servers there. It seemed like they knew the regulars. Overall it wasn't anything amazing but it also wasn't bad. I would go back again, especially for Taco Tuesday, just knowing what to expect next time. read more

Don Chuy's Mexican Restaurant - Too MINI - Mexican Near Me - Culver City, California

This place is odd. The ambiance is nice. Food is meh! Haven't had anything too impressive. The guacamole is good! They're very skimpy on chips. Agave margarita is good! The service is the odd part. It seems like the people who work here are annoyed by customers. They were not busy but didn't feel very welcomed. Felt fake smiles and just annoyed that we were there. I've been in here about five times. It's convenient which is why we return. The food is not horrible but an only a step above Taco Bell. We like the booths and ambiance. If I could give them any advice, improve the rice and beans and the service. Both are just not impressive. I don't think I've seen any of their servers with a genuine smile once and the rice and beans are pretty flavorless. This place has real potential though. read more

i've eaten in person twice and also had delivery a few times - overall I think it's a good option at a decent price. Most recently I went for lunch and had their 2 crispy taco combo - it was tasty and the rice/beans were also good. I've had their guacamole in the past and I wasn't a huge fan - it wasn't worth the price. The interior of the restaurant is really cute, during covid they had outdoor seating but it is no longer an option. Parking is easy as it's in the same plaza as Ralphs. Service was excellent and very attentive refilling water, etc., read more

What a super pleasant surprise it was to find Don Chuy's! I'm never one to pass up Mexican food and this was the perfect little spot for lunch. Dropped off Josh the dog at the groomer and was looking for a nice lunch somewhere. Lucky for us, Don Chuy's was in the same parking lot and quickly headed in. Arrived around 11:30am and took a look at the menu. The lunch specials stood out the most for their great pricing. We opted for the Torta (which was gigantic) and the carne asada plate (not on the lunch menu but after the gym session i had, steak was calling my name). Both were great and flavorful. I really enjoyed my steak, they seasoned it perfectly. We also grabbed a few Modelo's to round out our great little lunch, always a good choice. Nice little lunch at Don Chuy's. Food was good and I love a good excuse to hang out in a nice booth. If Im ever in the mood for mexican food, this is a great option to add to the list. read more

Great service, food and prices. My wife introduced me to this place when we first began dating. She and her family has been going there for years. It has since always delivered when we go. The food is made with love and the flavors are distinct even though the dishes are staples. Take away or delivery Don Chuys is consistent with its freshness in ingredients. The interior is fun to eat at because if it's not busy you feel like you're eating at home. The tables are nice, sturdy and combined with a taller chair it was a surprisingly rare dining experience you wouldn't expect. Service was great, punctual, friendly and professional. read more

My husband and I went here for the first time . Very nice restaurant. Ambiance is great Good was decent. The reason I give 3 stars is because case the chimichanga was super dry to my husband . He thinks it needed more meat. Also it seemed as if we were waiting around d a lot for assistance- we noticed that "take out/ to go" was really busy and that seemed to be their main focus. All and all had a great time:-) and you can't beat 99 cent tacos for taco Tuesday !!!! read more

love this Mexican restaurant -- it feels like a true family-owned spot. The warm, welcoming vibe matches the amazing food. The highlight for me is the homemade tortillas -- fresh, soft, and full of flavor. I've been searching for a place that serves great Machaca y Huevos, and I finally found it here! The dish was perfectly seasoned and the portion generous. Pair that with their homemade tortillas, and it's just yummy. If you're looking for authentic, homemade Mexican comfort food, this is the place to go. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. read more

My husband and daughter were sick so I ordered the caldo de pollo for them to share. It was a generous portion in a 32 oz. container for about $15 or so with tax via DoorDash. The soup was very comforting with a generous portion of well cooked chicken and came with separate containers of chopped onions, cilantro, rice, and limes to add to the soup. They also included some chips! This was actually my first time having this type of soup so I don't have much to compare it to, but when I looked at what ingredients this soup should contain--corn and potatoes were always listed, which this didn't contain. We were expecting corn and potatoes so this was somewhat disappointing (bringing the rating down from 4 stars to 3) but would order this again when under the weather. read more

I live nearby but rarely went to this place until recently. Turns out that the food is really good, but they do forget to give you their pico de gallo, which is one of the best I've tried. I was disappointed that I didn't get that included in my last order. It should not be something I should have to ask for in a Mexican restaurant. need to do better with takeouts. read more

The service was great and the wait time wasn't long. Servers were kind and sufficient. Place and dining ware were pretty clean. They give you complimentary chips and salsa (really good) when dining in I believe. I got the lunch combo, with an enchilada and taco (hard sell), both chicken, with rice and refried beans on the side. I didnt enjoy the chicken used inside, it wasn't bad but I feel like the chicken could've used some more flavor. I also ordered a lime margarita that was pretty bland to me. They do have other dishes I'd like to try in the future so yeah that's cool. read more

My dog is seeing a specialist here in Culver City and we spotted this place in the Ralphs supermarket shopping area during one of our outings and decided to give it a try. We are from the central valley so Mexican food is a staple and sometimes it's a little worrisome to try Mexican food when you're somewhere else because it is pretty darn good where I live. This restaurant offers a small seating area outside, but we chose to sit inside. We were able to choose our own table, and we were given menus immediately the young woman who waited on us, was very pleasant and answered the questions I had about the menu. They have a fairly good selection of items lots of standards, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. I was very hungry and ordered the taco plate which usually comes with two tacos, rice and beans however, I really did not want rice that day and asked if they could just give me beans and I also wanted a cheese enchilada. My sister ordered one of the giant burritos. The tortillas for the tacos are excellent. I had ordered shredded beef tacos, one soft and one hard just so I can see which one I liked best. I definitely would recommend the soft taco although both were good. Soft tacos have the standard cilantro, onion, and cabbage where the hard shell has the cheese and lettuce the sauce of the enchilada was not sweet, it was a nice flavor, the beans were also very good and I ignored my common sense and ended up eating everything. I would say the only thing that wasn't especially good were the chips and salsa they serve you on the table. We were served a pico de Gallo in a tiny little cup, and it was a little cumbersome to try to get some on your chip because the cup was so small. My sister said her burrito was very good. She had also opted for shredded beef and asked for no cilantro on hers. It was huge, and appeared to have the same sauce on it as the enchilada. A glass of beer on tap was eight dollars but my lunch came to just slightly over $20 and was worth it. We will definitely be back here again. read more

Provender: this is a fantastic Mexican restaurant in the Culver City area. They serve all sorts of entrees from tacos and burritos to fajitas and more. They offer carne asada, chicken, carnitas, and seafood or vegetarian options. I ate the orijinal burrito with carne asada and it was delicious. You also get to choose from a variety of salsas. Prices: very reasonable. A burrito will run you about $15 and the portion is huge. Parking: the restaurant is located in a large shopping plaza, anchored by a Ralph's Fresh Fare, so there are ample parking spots available. People: fun for all. Perks: they have both outdoor and indoor seating. Staff were all incredibly friendly. I thought the portions were generous. They offer a variety of salsas, so you can order the tomatillo (more mild) to the molcajete (more spicy). Service was fantastic and they had a great ambiance. They also have a great happy hour menu and taco Tuesday specials. And they serve micheladas! read more

A fun local restaurant that runs an incredibly cheap Taco Tuesdays of $0.99 cent soft corn tacos all day. They are street tacos, so relatively small but if you order several you'll surely be full. The tacos while a bargain had minimal meat and just raw onion with cilantro, no sauce nor any other toppings. The potato taco was a hard shell at $1.95 which was likely the most interesting of the bunch. There's free freshly fried tortilla chips with fresh salsa, yum! Service was nice. The atmosphere was very casual. Would definitely be interested in going back to try the other dishes at the restaurant. read more

Found this diamond in the rough in our own backyard after a beautiful walk up the mountain. We had been smelling the homemade corn tortillas which smelled fantastic and it was dinner time so we pulled this place up on Yelp & saw the great reviews and decided to eat here, and so glad we did! Inside, the decor of this place is very authentic Mexican with peaceful mariachi music playing - very charming. First, their corn chips and corn tortillas are made here and so good. The salsa that comes with the chips is more of a pick de guillo and is very tangy and good. It was Taco Tuesday and their street tacos are $0.99 each so we got one of each (bean, chicken, carnitas, pastor & asada) and they came on hand made corn tortillas and were awesome! I got the cheese enchilada & chili relleno combo ($14.95) and it was delicious. The rice and beans were great and this dish came with a side of tortillas - your choice, flour or corn and since the corn is homemade I got corn and they are wonderful. My girlfriend got the El Don burrito ($14.95) which was huge and she got the red & green sauce. Their burritos are very tasty & good! All-in-all a 5 star experience. So glad we stopped in to try it!! read more

Unfortunately Don Chuy's has failed in delivering quality service before and they did it again. They forgot to add the tortillas to our order, they didn't include utensils or napkins, and the actual pozole was under seasoned and bland. The tortilla chips were also old and stale. This is the third time it's happened and it's very disappointing so we won't be going back for the foreseeable future. I recommend you check your order before leaving the restaurant, which I didn't think was necessary, but you just never know with this place. read more

Meh. Came for taco Tuesday where they offer 99cent tacos and you really get what you pay for. Tacos were "street" size, maybe even smaller, and you get a tablespoon of meat. We asked for salsa and they gave us a red sauce which tasted like tapatio. Ordered margaritas (with agave wine), they don't have a full bar just beer and wine so they weren't the best. read more
