    What I got and what it looks like.
    Alex J.

    Tex-Mex it is, and that's for sure. Almost the best of both countries. The trouble is, I couldn't figure out which country dropped the ball and kept it from being a 5 star rating. It couldn't have been the good ol USA, could it? You be the judge, and let me know. The restaurant is pretty cool inside. There's all kinds of stuff plastered or hung throughout. But your gander better be quick because your server will be on you before you can say "let's eat amigo"! Excellent service is at this establishment. Friendly as can be. The server will keep the conversation short, though. She has more tables to be excellent at. I found the chips and salsa to be adequately satisfying. Combined with a cold beer, it set the tone for what was to come. I'd hoped that my meal would be special and it didn't disappoint. I chose the steak burrito with Hatch Chili's on top. Those chili's are something else! Very flavorful. They made the meal. Here's the rub. The burrito was served with uninspiring rice and beans. Someone wasn't paying attention during side dishes 101. Go eat at Chuy's and enjoy their food. The Tex-Mex is better than s.. Not really, but better than first base. Quick Tip: The restaurant is kind of hard to find. Kinda. The roads around it aren't very good and are bumpy. If I were looking for bumps, I'd have ventured across the I-40 to Hooters

    Nacho kit

    Here is the nacho kit in living color. You get a grocery sack full of chips, two small containers of meat and queso and even smaller containers of the rest. Plates? No, why would you get those for $41. Flatware or napkins(when requested) no, again, why would you expect that for $41?

    Been a while since I have been to Chuys and man has it changed. Ordered curbside as we were staying in hotel next door. Quality of food, edible, not terrible but not what Chuy's is and used to be. I'll let this picture show more than my text. This is the Family Taco Package and the condiments for the tacos. (6) tacos ..... Tablespoon of lettuce and 1/2 tablespoon of tomato's For scale, that dish is the size of a coaster!

    Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom enchiladas

    I've been to several Chuy's locations before, but this is the first time I've been to the one in Amarillo. I ordered a Chuy's top shelf margarita and a Texas 'Tini. Both of these were very good! It's clear the bartender knew what she was doing. The enchiladas were served quickly, so no complaint there. The sauce was very spicy (as expected) but did not seem to be as flavorful as I'd had it elsewhere before. On the whole, dinner was good.

    Chicken fajita tacos crispy

    Very good food! We stopped here on our way through to Colorado. The bartender was such a sweetheart, positive attitude, super friendly- she made our meal enjoyable. The fajita tacos crispy were soo goody! Excellent flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant for the great staff and great food!

    OMG, Thank You Chuy's. Location is right off the highway, it was a slow Thursday but I was scared I didn't see many cars. Its a seat yourself. The enviroment is cute, festive, lots of cool portraits. Our waiter, Matt, was the BOMB! We were first timers so he brought a rainbow plate that was a sample of all their sauces. All of them were so good, I could have licked the plate. The salsa was so flavorful. I got the steak burrito and my child got enchiladas. Everything is Fresh and packed with Flavor. Matt was so tentative!! I will be back time and time again. Do not PASS THIS Gem up! If you see it stop and grab some yummy food!!!! Btw* the cook arrives every morning and makes everything fresh. The side of beans were just so good!!**

    Greeter welcomed us and made small talk as he seated us. Jason waited on us, he did an awesome job. Food was amazing and the place was clean. Definitely hit the spot today!

    Mid-afternoon stop passing thru, still had 6 tables w/food. Ate here long LONG time ago and pleasantly surprised to find it as good as ever. Cooks produced delicious entrees: Elvis Presley's Memorial Platter & Baja Tacos w/Shrimp. Excellent meal sizes & top-notch server brought variety of salsa's/sauces that truly complimented the flavors. Light crips chips, tall drinks, yeup, all good start to finish.

Like they were going to seat another party at the other table . I'm not sharing a table . Not good service . Looked around a lot of the tables pushed together. Was another room empty with no tables. They should have spread out the tables in all the rooms . So everyone could have been seated when they came in instead of waiting 25-30 min. Then after we ordered. On a scale of 1 to 10. I give them a 2. One person's in my party couldnt eat the tacos. Meat was full of fatty meat and the taco was full of grease from when cooked. Mine also had a taco . The taco instead of having the color of a corn taco. It was brown and greasy because of all the grease it was cook in . Ate maybe half my meal . I made up my mind that is the last time I will go there and if anyone ever suggest to go there to me . I'll tell them the reason .

There were two other tables with two people each that left shortly after my table of three arrived. Ordered our drinks and it took 57 minutes to get them. The bartender actually noticed that we had been sitting there without anything and he brought them over even though he was not our server. Our server did not understand English, and we kept having to use our phones to translate so we could communicate with her. We asked for appetizers that we never got, yet were on the bill. Our food came out 98 minutes after arriving, and again the bartender was the one that was serving us. The female server sat at an empty table on her telephone the entire time. When I asked for the bill, she didn't understand me and had to get a coworker to actually print out our bill. I tipped-out the bartender because he's the one that actually provided us our service. When I checked my credit card statement the next day she had given herself a $10 tip even though I had lined through it on the receipt. I immediately called the Amarillo Police Department to file police a eport for theft, and I did a fraud against my credit card with my bank. I explained to the Amarillo Police Department what happened, and sent them copies of my receipt and the receipt that I had left for her. The APD attempted to contact Braceros management. Every time the detective called he was told that the manager was not in the office and that they did not know when he would be in the office. At my insistence, the detective went to Braceros and asked for the manager and watched the manager walk away and had his employees say that he was not available. Management was absolutely refusing to speak to the police. When APD asked the employee about my waitress, because her name was on my receipt, the Braceros employee said oh I don't know who that is. So the detectives couldn't even talk to the waitress. They sent the detectives two more times attempting to talk to management and they refused to talk to them. Another 1000% sure management is in on this scam. I filed a complaint with the local Chamber of Commerce and come to find out, Braceros is known for this and there are banks in the Amarillo area that will not honor any charges on their credit or debit cards at Braceros restaurants. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!

Once order was placed, I filled my cup with unsweet tea and it was soured. For the sake of pure awareness, I let the lady know about the finding and she further tasted it but didn't find it unpleasant. Mind you, I have ran a restaurant on my own and have worked in the restaurant industry since high school.... I know what bad tea tastes like. I make a new drink choice and move on, not the end of the world with 15 other drink choices available!! Once my food arrived and I'm half way through eating, she proceeds to come to the table in a very offensive manner asking "Well would you like me to make you new tea? What do you want me to do?" At this point, I was shocked at how she approached me and did not have much response other than "It's alright, I got something else to drink, thank you." So I finished the meal, go to top off with lemonade before leaving, and the manager/owner hurries over and says "No, No! That is not lemonade, just the concentrate!" In my mind I think to myself "umm, sorry Sir, I didn't know that. I thought that the "Hours of Operation 8am-10pm" on the door meant that this place was fully functioning and in service within the hours that you have posted. The entire time I was in this restaurant, the workers were refilling and setting up for the day..... the place was not to par within their "Hours of Operation." Will never return!!!!!

The staff was friendly but did not provide the best service throughout our meal. We shared the combo beef and chicken fajitas for one. The chicken was cooked perfectly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The beef was a little overdone, but the fresh, homemade corn and flour tortillas were absolutely fantastic and made the meal even better. We also ordered the Tacos de Birria (goat) with consommé, and they were delicious! The meat was incredibly flavorful, and they came with a small cup of sauce that added even more flavor just be prepared because it packs some serious heat! The chips and queso were just okay, but overall we really enjoyed it being a convenient stop on our road trip home. Not sure if we will stop again when in town.

    Visiting my girlfriend and her family in Amarillo led me to trying some of their favorite places in…read morethe city. My girlfriend's mom was especially excited to take me to El Tejaven while I was visiting. This dinner was a celebration of my girlfriend's sister playing in the top All-Region orchestra. It has nothing to do with the food itself, but I want to mention it because she did a great job performing and I think it deserves to be remembered here. It is the reason we went in the first place. It was a busy night at El Tejaven before we arrived. A group of 32 was just wrapping up dinner. Thirty two people. At that point, just cater, dawg. It took about 20 minutes after arrival to get seated, but it likely would have been much quicker if it were not for a group that size. Once we were seated, we were served chips and salsa. The salsa was spicier than I was prepared for, but it was good. The chips were excellent as well. Most people at the table ordered margaritas on the rocks, while I got a dressed Dos Equis on draft. From what I tasted, the margaritas were solid. For appetizers, we ordered the small queso and the small ceviche. The queso was standard but good. The ceviche, on the other hand, was exceptional. I could have eaten a large bowl by myself. I was pretty hungry, so I ordered the Orden de Tacos, which comes with four tacos on corn tortillas. I got all of them with al pastor. I also added a side of rice and beans, which normally comes with the three taco order but can be added on for the four tacos. The tacos were very good and exactly what you want from street style al pastor, especially with the cilantro and onions. It comes out to roughly four dollars per taco if you do the math. The rice and beans were both great and I ate all of it easily. The plate also came with a side of guacamole that had a nice kick, which I enjoyed. Living in Austin with family in San Antonio, it is easy to find good and authentic Mexican food. That does not always seem to be the case in Amarillo, so it is nice to know there is at least one spot in the city that feels authentic and not overly gringoified. My girlfriend's family knows ball.
