    Chicken fajita taco and black beans
    Aleshia J.

    This restaurant is in our rotation of weekly restaurants to visit. Gringos is ALWAYS a win! I ordered a combination of chicken nachos, chicken taquitos, chicken fajita taco... it was delicious!! The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is very very busy. We waited about 25 minutes. Our waiter, Michael was very kind and attentive. We truly enjoyed our visit!

    Arrived at 6:47 Sunday July 20 th very busy so myself and spouse decided not to wait on a table we proceeded to the bar to order our meal which Ms. Cynthia greeted the upmost warm welcome to take our order for drinks which gave us time to look over menu. Then Ms.Trina filled in to finish out the order. We had the Plato Soldado. Wonderful plate a bit of enchilada,tamale,fajita taco,rice,beans pico and queso best one on the menu. The update to the restaurant was very roomy lighting perfect for party setting or romantic date . Mr. Isaac manager stop by to say hello best of all he recalled my name from our last visit (wow) !

    Quick day trip and my Sis picked this place. It's not authentic Mexican. Definitely tex Mex. It was good. I ordered the Adobada bowl and the meat was fatty and a little tough but good flavor. Overall ok experience. Service was good and the restaurant aesthetic and ambiance were bright and lively! Very nice decor!

    Gringos is always my go to Mexican! Love the queso and the service is great. Ambiance is fun and clean. We are repeat offenders!

    This is small!!!!

    Food and drinks have been good! Desert sizes seem to wildly change quite a bit. I was shocked to see how small it was.

    Tried this place for lunch one day. I really like how it was decorated with all of the different lantern lights. There is plenty of room. You are offered free chips and salsa... both red and green were good. The margaritas were pretty strong and had good flavor. I had the chicken enchiladas and they were very flavorful and a large portion size. The green sauce that comes on top is good and mixed with like a creama. Service was fast and friendly. Overall nice spot.

    Ribeye Tacos are the best!

    A group of my friends and I had been out at an event near Valley Ranch and decided to get some…read moredinner after it was over. Chuy's at the Valley Ranch shopping center is fairly new and we figured we would give it a try. We got there around 7:30 pm and it wasn't too crowded, being a Tuesday night and we they quickly set up a table for 8 people. Our server was a young girl and came out to take drink orders. In 5 minutes or so she was back and started taking the food orders. I don't envy servers who wait tables with a large group of friends like ours as they need to keep track of who is with who, couples vs single diners but she did a good job. Chuy's like most Mexican style restaurants serves chips and salsa at the start when you sit down but they also famously serve their complimentary signature Creamy Jalapeño salsa, a popular zesty, ranch-based dip. This creamy green sauce, often called "green sauce," is a staple, frequently referred to as part of the "three amigos" along with the chips and red salsa. We didn't order any starters, just the main course and it was a bit slow coming out considering that the restaurant wasn't very crowded. I always wonder why this happens, are they short handed in the kitchen? I had ordered the Burrito Bowl with shrimp and my choice of rice was what they call Green Chili Rice as a base instead of Mexican Rice. I also asked for a CUP of their Tortilla soup on the side. After a fairly long wait and consuming way too many chips our food came out. The table soon got quite crowded as they tend to serve the sides like rice and beans in separate dishes from the main entrees. She must have misunderstood because I got Mexican rice as the base of my bowl and a big side of the Green Chili rice. No biggie; then she put down an enormous bowl of soup, seemed like almost a quart! I asked if this was the CUP or the BOWL and she said, "Oh sorry, I thought you said bowl." But then said, "No problem I will only charge you for the cup" which was nice. We all ate and for the most part everyone seemed to enjoy their food. The Burrito Bowl is a great way to go if you don't want a heavy meal, and sometimes Tex Mex or Mexican food can be heavy by the time you add on refried beans, melted cheese and sour cream, etc. My dinner was just right. I only had taken a few sips of the soup, it was zesty and hot, pretty good for a chain restaurant and seemed genuinely homemade. Pretty soon as our server came by she asked if I would like her to put the rest of the soup into a container to take home and I agreed; it would make a great lunch the next day. Soon we were don and she brought out the checks, it was a challenge and she first double checked her tickets to make sure she got everything right. It took a while for her to find a manager to reduce the price on my soup but eventually she did. She menioned that this was only her second week on the job and we all praised her and tipped generously as mix-ups happen and a slow kitchen is not the front of the house's staff's fault. Overall thoughts, yes Chuy's is a chain and chances are you will get the same menu and presentation at their other locations but our server made the difference as she tried really hard to please us.

    It's a chain so the food is mostly always the same, but the service is so bad here oh my goodness…read more I placed an online order to go for Flautas and some queso, that's IT, and it took them over 45 minutes to get it ready and bring it out. I had to call them twice to confirm they even had my order. I paid online (also can we talk about the fact that an order of flautas and a small queso was $25!?) and don't do tips on curbside, because??? Why? And after i had already said no for the tip, the woman who brought me my order asked me if i was going to tip FOR WHAT. 1 pm on a Thursday, very small lunch crowd- maybe 15 cars in the parking lot if I'm being generous. Absolutely ridiculous. Not only did I wait almost an entire hour, but everything was soggy and barely warm at all. The chips were stale and i ordered double rice and they gave me beans instead. Worst Chuy's I've ever been to. So unprofessional.

This time around I got the chilaquiles verdes con arrachera--and let's just say that was a WINNER WINNER! Next time I want to do the chilaquiles divorciados (1/2 salsa verde/ 1/2 salsa ranchera). Waiters are great & the vibe is even better: I would love to return for a date night. We usually come as a family, which is just as enjoyable! The only con I have is how small the parking space is all-around. Other than that, come with your belly's empty!

We were planning to get dinner at Pappadoux or Pappasito's, but when I looked them up on Yelp, the reviews were not great. Instead, I stumbled upon Letty's and called to see if they had room for our large group. They were incredibly accommodating, and they were able to seat the 13 of us together with only 30 minutes of notice. The decor was fun and beautiful, the food was fantastic (esp the ribeye appetizer,) but it was the staff / team who truly stood out and made our experience so fantastic. From the jefe holding the door open to welcoming us, to our server suggesting off-menu vegetarian options, we could hardly believe how welcome we felt. The restaurant was spacious, clean and incredibly chic / well designed and though we had already eaten too much earlier that day, the drinks and dinner had fantastic flavor, great portion sizes and most importantly.. they were served with so much love. Muchas gracias a mi familia Letty's!!
