It's probably meant to be consumed by more than one person and I did have leftovers. It was so tasty though. All the protein (chicken, steak, shrimp) was cooked to perfection and still had plenty of moisture in it. The only thing I wish is that they would add beans and rice as a layer to the nachos; however, it was excellent. The six tacos plate was so good too. Loved the carnitas and pescado tacos. They were flavorful and filling. The rice was sensational and well-seasoned. The black beans paired with the rice was also excellent. I will be back. The dragonfruit mezcalito was so good! The restaurant was starting to fill up with a lot of people, so it's a popular spot.

Growing up in Texas, Chuy's was a staple, so finding one in Cary after a long workday felt like…read morerunning into an old friend. The original Chuy's started in Austin, and after all these years, the flavors are still exactly how I remember them. I had planned to eat at H Mart but arrived too late after checking into my hotel. A summer thunderstorm rolled through, and by the time I pulled into Chuy's, the skies cleared. It was the perfect ending to a long day. The complimentary chips, fresh salsa, and famous creamy jalapeño dip are reason enough to stop by. That dip is every bit as addictive today as it was decades ago. I ordered the Comida Deluxe--a massive plate with cheese enchiladas, crispy chicken flautas, a crispy beef taco, fresh guacamole, queso-covered tostadas, rice, and refried beans. I paired it with an ice-cold Coke, plus extra lime wedges and white onions, because that's how Tex-Mex should be enjoyed. Every bite hit the spot. The portions were enormous, the quality was excellent, and at around $16-18, it's one of the best values around. I knew I'd be taking leftovers home, and they were just as good the next day. I also grabbed a slice of tres leches cake to go. It was huge and worth every penny. It somehow tasted even better after sitting overnight as the three milks soaked deeper into the cake. Absolutely delicious. Our server was warm, attentive, and made packing up leftovers effortless by bringing extra creamy jalapeño dip, a sturdy bag for the chips, and plenty of to-go containers. Service like that makes a difference. You can pay traditionally with your server or by scanning a QR code. I tried the QR option but found it a little cumbersome, so I paid the old-fashioned way with my credit card. Chuy's has stayed true to what made it famous. The recipes are consistent, the portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the food is packed with nostalgia. Whether you're a fellow Texan or just craving outstanding Tex-Mex, this place continues to deliver. Life is too short to eat boring food.

That being said, I could drink the creamy jalapeño sauce by the bucket; that is how much I love it. Other notable mentions are the chicka chicka boom boom enchiladas and the green chile enchiladas. At this specific Chuy's location, they were able to accommodate a large party of us (17 people) without any issues. The ambiance was nice and they were able to chill a cake we had brought in until we sliced it. The only negative part of the experience was that the waitress accidentally spilled cups of water on two guests, which was a bit of a mess, but the other staff members helped clean it up.

Got the NuvoBowl with rotisserie chicken: mixed greens, esquite corn, pico, avocado, and a generous drizzle of spicy aioli, with lime-cilantro vinaigrette and salsa on the side. Genuinely satisfying and not the sad-salad-in-a-taco-place experience I half expected. The pickled red onions are electric pink and worth the whole thing. Worth checking the specials board -- quesa birria, beef barbacoa, carnitas, and a fried green tomato taco that feels like the right kind of NC-meets-Mexico move. Lunch special is $12.50 for two tacos, rice, beans, and a drink from 11-3, which is a solid deal. Big agua fresca and milkshake lineup too.

It was okay. - Pupusa con Pollo: I think the pupusas will be my favorite item to get here! - Horchata: Love their horchata; super cinnamon-y and refreshing. Fast service during weekday dinnertime; fine ambiance. 9/10 would recommend!

We walked in to an open seating room and on the left, if you go out the door they gave a very cool outdoor roof area. You order and then go to your seat until its ready. Mike got steak burrito and I got a grilled chicken and cheese quesadillo. Both were jam packed with ingredients, fresh and delicious.

I actually really love that! My husband and I each got margs. His lime was good and got the hibiscus. I'll definitely order that one again! They were good and strong. My husband ordered the birria.

I got the quesa birria tacos which were decent although it was missing the consome that typically accompanies birria. I thought the food was decent and average although overpriced for what you get. The restaurant is located within the Southpoint Plaza so it is a convenient location to grab a quick meal after a day out. Overall, I think this place has very average Tex-Mex food.

She was friendly and helpful. Someone that looked like a manager walked by a few times and looked at us, but never even as much as said hi or asked about our experience. The ambience is fine. Light music and a pretty facility. The restrooms needed some serious cleaning. That's always one of those things that separates good from great.
