The food is kind of set up in front of you similar to Subway® how they have all of the little things you can get added onto your meal. It smelled really good inside of the restaurant and they do have seating areas where you can dine in. The restaurant looks really cool with the decorations and stuff they have on the walls. The people were extremely friendly who work there. They were extremely busy and I believe the store Manager was also helping make the orders because of how busy they were. The food tasted very fresh and was still pretty hot when we got home which was about 30 or so minutes away. The food is a little bit expensive for the portion that you receive, but it's not horrible. I feel like this is a similar cross between like Tijuana Flats and Chipotle but I definitely like this place a lot better.

This is only half the restaurant...plenty of space to sit and enjoy your food.

Both the chicken and the steak were immaculate. Bursting with flavor and the steak was high quality compared to any other similar chain I've been to. 5/5 ($11.25 steak bowl +3.49 for extra protein scoop of chicken + 1.45 guac) This place is like a better version of the big "C" in my opinion.

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.

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.

It amazes me how many Reagan-era Salt Life Bud-Light mouthbreathing boomers dont understand the concept of wearing a mask to protect OTHERS. This lowlife Sanford™ hillbilly was at this location, and he walked in with no mask, and proceeded to COUGH into the air while waiting for his food to fill his fat tattoo covered belly, sitting alone at a table with 4 seats because he's a 60 year old incel chud. I thought this location was a "No Mask - No Service" location, but I guess I'm wrong. Though why do they have signs on the doors saying "Wear a Mask" if nobody at this establishment won't do anything? I'm very surprised that nobody did anything, and there were no male managers around to enforce this. Now whatever COVID-19 "he" might have, its now floating in the air in the restaurant, which could have been avoided if a mask had been worn. God forbid someone with health problems takes a chance to come get some food, and unknowingly walks inside with a poorly-fitted mask. But then again these are the "going out with a bang" type mentality boomers that don't care about anything or anyone, and dont care if they ENDANGER everyone around them, in this case by getting other people sick, because "iT's a HoAx" and they can't come to terms with their quickly fleeting mortality. Overall I will NOT be eating at this Tijuana Flats ever again, since I have ZERO confidence if its even a "safe" location to be in, let alone EAT in. PS: The music ambience was very loud, and the kind waitress got my order wrong because she couldn't hear what I was saying. read more

Good service and great food! I ordered two beef tacos while my friend got a chicken and bean burrito. We both enjoyed our meals. The tacos were actually full of fillings vs. other taco places. All orders come with a variety of toppings and when you order at the counter you tell them what you want and then they'll bring it to your table. Tortilla chips were brought with our orders (salsa costs extra). It took less than ten minutes for us to get our food. In the middle of the restaurant there's a stand with a variety of sauces and there's a giant screen TV that was playing the Olympics. There are cool murals throughout the restaurant. The only issue was it would have been nice if I had been given a receipt at the counter (Should have been handed one, granted after not being handed one I should have asked but forgot till after we sat down). On Fridays I hear they have live music and a balloon artist. It's located minutes away from the Sanford Mall.

Love Taco Tuesdays - tacos are what drew me to TF way back in the early 2000s in Orlando. Love the beef crunchy with sweet chili sauce. My fav lately, though, are the tostadas - yummy! The staff at this TJ is always friendly and helpful. It's a nice location, my only wish is that they had more parking. I can always find a place, I just have to walk a little further. Probably a good way to walk off the queso sauce! read more

I ordered the ( lunch) steak fajitas for lunch, and I was charged an additional fee for the rice and beans. The menu indicated that the fajitas came with rice and beans, so I was surprised to see an extra charge on my bill. In addition, some of our friends had some type of surcharge added to their bill. I have ordered fajitas at many restaurants, and I have never encountered a situation where the rice and beans listed as part of the meal were subject to an additional charge. I asked my server about it and she said I'm sorry, but beans and rice are extra. I paid the bill without further disputing the charges because I did not want to make an issue of it at the time. However, I believe these additional fees should be clearly disclosed on the menu so customers can make informed decisions before ordering. Unfortunately, this experience has left me disappointed, and I do not plan to return. The friends who accompanied me also expressed that they will not be returning.

Once you step inside you are greeted with artwork on all the walls and just a well decorated space. In no manner does it make you question if this is a Mexican restaurant. Menu wise they have everything you would expect plus some you wouldn't including burgers and some kid options that are in no way Mexican food. It is great to include these for those picky eaters to not be left out but I recommend even those people should give something more authentic a try. Drink wise they have all the non-alcoholic options plus cocktails and beers too. My wife snagged a Pina Colada and I got a jalapeño margarita. Pina Colada was fantastic and the margarita was solid with many jalapeños cut up in the drink but didn't have as much of a spicy kick that I expected. Food wise I got their Enchiladas Mi Bandera (basically three different meats and three different sauces) and my wife got the Chimichangas Norteñas (large). Service wise was definitely the lacking aspect of our visit. Minimal check ins from our server with an extremely long wait for food especially compared to similar restaurants. Also my wife asked about the size of their chimichangas and was told roughly half the actual size so went with two. I did enjoy her leftovers though but was crazy how off they were on the size. Portions are definitely large for many of their dishes including the giant burrito another family member got, absolutely massive. Food was good, (have had better) with lacking service in an awesome designed restaurant. Overall middle of the road and would check other spots nearby before returning.

When called out on it, they do their best to gaslight you and act as though your expectation for chips with those dips is completely unexpected and deviant. Either avoid ordering from them altogether or at least have some chips on hand if you want to be able to properly enjoy your guac.
