    Salsa, green sauce, chicken enchiladas
    Katherine S.

    The food, as usual, is on POINT! The service is always top notch and they are all friendly and helpful! It seems like no matter how busy they are, they never busy!

    Awesome queso, also be sure and try the bacon wrapped cheese filled jalapeños (seeded so they're medium spicy) chicken and beef fajitas were good but a little sparse on the Beef , shrimp tacos were good. So far one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in Lubbock that's from a couple of transplanted San Antonians and SA is known for good Mexican food

    Steak and enchiladas

    Traveling in town for a install and got recommended this place for dinner, Absolutely wonderful service and food was delicious. Steak was perfectly cooked and not too heavily seasoned and the enchiladas provided a nice balance Would absolutely come back next trip and try something different.

    Nachos!!!

    This is some of the best Mexican food I have ever had! Delicious food, fantastic service, and they have live music and karaoke on Thursday nights. Definitely going back!

    Good solid Tex Mex food with a friendly staff in a nice atmosphere. Nothing fancy, but the enchiladas are definitely worth ordering.

They gave me three and they said if I give you more, I have to charge you like bro I done paid for it on the app. I took a bite out of my chicken, nugget, immediate stomach ache. That thing was mad crunchy for no reason and not a good crunch either like bone crunch never again I literally feel like throwing up not even capping with you. This is not a troll yelp review. This is real life. Do not come to this place unless you want to be sick and have bad experience and bad food. Thank you for reading. bye I would also like a refund if someone can help me with that:)

Thankfully our local friend provided us with the details for Chuys. The decor on the inside really leans into the 1950s/1960s Americana vibe that's often associated with Lubbock without leaning into kitsch territory. The table we were at took about 5-10 minutes to clear up for us and once we were seated we felt right at home. Food came out hot and exactly as expected. The server also recommended that I HAD to try the local concoction adult beverage that apparently is a staple of this location. It was a nice treat and a quick way to feel at home. Our bill was also not exorbitantly high, which is also something else to note about this place. You'll get your dollar to go far while here.

The queso was a 7 of 10 and the jalapeno ranch salsa was 6 of 10 but it may be my flavor profile favors a NM style or a Mexican take on flavors. This place is fun and the decor is reflective of that. The bathrooms were accessible and a changing table is available. The decor was next favorite to the service which was outstanding! They can accommodate groups in side rooms which gives your group privacy and space for enjoying your meal. The kitchen and floors looked well kept and clean. The tortillas were better than store bought but not momma made level. I would give them that they were better than most Tex mex fast food. They have a children's menu and the prices are reasonable.
