I was really excited to finally try Chuy's because they're always at the Yelp events, but only offering burritos, which I don't eat. They had a bigger menu than I anticipated and it took me a second to decide what to get. We ended up getting the following items:
- Carnitas Taco - the best of the 3 tacos we got. The meat was cooked soo nicely and flavored to perfection!
- Adobada Taco - the worst of the 3 tacos we got. It was bland, chewy, and no amount of salsa could save it
- Cabeza Taco - good, but nothing special. Would rather have a different taco than this, but I wouldn't shy away from eating it
- side of Rice - horrible. Bland and salty and expensive. We didn't even finish this
Each taco was drowning in toppings and it wasn't necessary. We took off at least half of the toppings they gave so that we could taste the meats. It's such a waste for them to do this because it isn't helping their tacos or their pockets.
While the tacos/food items are expensive, they give sizeable portions to make up for it. Unfortunately, when the dish isn't good, it's a bigger waste of money than if the portion was smaller. I honestly cannot believe how disgusting their rice was. I would be embarrassed if I was them.
I would come back for the carnitas taco and to try something else because I do believe they offer great quality and large portions for the price. 3.5 stars rounded to 3. read more
