September 2025 After walking a zillion miles around downtown Austin to find the botanical gardens, we stopped by here for a bite to eat before continuing our walk to our final destination. It was packed but we were able to get a booth pretty quickly. Our server was lovely. She brought us chips & salsa then took our order. We didn't have to wait too long before she brought our food over. It was delicious and plenty of it too! Lots of tables inside and plenty of parking in the lot. ~ and that's all I have to say about that... read more

One of the things I knew I had to try during my Texas trip was Tex Mex which is what brought me to Chuy's! When they say everything is big in Texas, the food in Chuy's definitely lives up to the motto. Serving sizes were generous and I can pretty much guarantee that you'll leave with a full belly. I ordered the Chuy Changa with boom boom sauce as my entree and we also had the queso and fajita beef panchos as appetizers to share for the table. Everything was super enjoyable. Service here is exceptionally friendly and attentive! The vibes here are pretty casual. We came on a Friday night at around 10pm and our party of 6 was able to get seated immediately. read more

Just dined here and left feeling super weird. Our server, Luna, was very passive aggressive and condescending. After many confusing back-and-forths with Luna, she put her hands on her hips and started speaking to us in a high-pitched voice as if we were children. At one point she said "sorry it's been a long night." And we were like "okay, maybe she doesn't feel well.." but then, two white gentleman sat down right behind us, to which she then proceeded to communicate quickly and effectively, also adding in extra care such as a warm attitude and smiles- which we received the opposite of. She only smiled when she was speaking to us like children. The level of service we were handled with compared to other parties surrounding us is unacceptable and lead us to feel uncomfortable in an environment we usually feel welcomed in. Also the margaritas were just okay and we got cilantro sauce tossed onto our table by her ,without a word said. We did not feel comfortable saying anything in the restaurant due to the buildup of these events. Sad because we loved Chuys. Go to the Chuys on William Cannon or go to Lupe Tortilla instead. read more

Chuy's is my favorite Mexican food spot in Austin! I love the Barton springs location near South congress as it's cute and homey. When you come here, ALWAYS order the queso - it's the best!! I ordered the chicken flautas for my main dish when we visited and they were amazing. I usually order the boom boom enchiladas but the crunch these had was delicious. We did had to ask our server to turn the fan down, at one point they had it on full blast for some reason, but other than that they brought us a bunch of chips during our meal and were very attentive. If you're in Austin, check out this spot! read more

Chuy's - Chicken Flautas - Tex-Mex Near Me - Austin, Texas

Feb 21, 2026 review: ------ This is one of my favorite Chuy's location. Ambience is great, both inside and outside patio at the back of restaurant. Parking can be tricky sometimes. Boom boom sauce is the star. The verde vegetarian sauce and deluxe tomatilo are amazing too. You can't go wrong with any of the those. Veggies enchiladas comes with two enchiladas, you can have different sauce for each. Other vegetarian items that we have tried are veggie fajitas, burrito, quesadilla and nachos. Guac is good too and comes in lot of quantity if you order as a side. Their jalapeno ranch is soooo good and goes well with their homemade chips which are very light. They refill the chips, and salsa and ranch as many times as needed. Oh and the best of all- tresleche cake. They run out pretty quick so make sure you ask for it up on arrival and ask them to keep aside one for you if possible. This location is almost always full so make sure you put your name on reservation list ahead of time. Parking can be little tricky on weekends but have plenty of spots in the back so should be able to find in sometime. It's walkable from zilker park location so that's another nice part about this specific Chuy's. Margherita is pretty famous, I haven't tried it but friends always loved it. read more

Chuy's - Veggies enchiladas plate - Tex-Mex Near Me - Austin, Texas

Tex Mex Restaurant, gotta love it while in Texas. The menu had the "usual" tacos, enchiladas, burritos, etc. Then my eye spotted Tex Mex enchiladas. Well, sign me up! When am I going to be in Texas again? The difference is, the fresh red chili sauce is made in house daily. It is a little thicker with a smoky flavor, which makes for a richer and hearty-tasting meal. I also ordered an extra side of their hand-made corn tortillas to have with the chips and salsa. This was a lively and busy restaurant, the service was really good. The decor was very nice with plants, pottery and art on the walls. They are open 7 days a week from 11AM to 10PM (11PM on Friday/Saturday). Reservations are not accepted, come as you are and expect to wait during peak lunch/dinner hours. Note: You may bring your pet in the outdoor patio, which has picnic tables. Sincerely, Rosemary (California) read more

They should rename this location Chuy's house of flies and noise.. Flies were relentless and in swarns, noise level practically unbearable (was seated near front of bldg. in low-ceiling room).Too bad decent service and food couldn't make up for otger aspects of dining experience. read more

I've been to multiple Chuy's locations and this one is definitely up there! Great spot for some casual tex-mex and efficient service. There's a decent amount of parking in front and around the back, which is helpful. The interior design/decor is also very colorful and charming. As for the food, my usual go-to order are the Baja Shrimp Tacos (~$14, 5/5): - The shrimp are perfectly crispy! Topped with cilantro, cabbage, and pico de gallo which adds just the right amount of freshness. - Served with Mexican or Green Chile rice (both are great options) and refried beans. - Big portion sizes that will definitely fill you up Would also highly recommend pairing Chuy's creamy jalapeño sauce with their complimentary chips. Will definitely be back the next time I'm craving tex-mex - can always count on having a good time at Chuy's! read more

Chuy's - Baja Shrimp Tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came on a Saturday afternoon, and they were moderately busy. Plenty of parking located in the back, especially for a restaurant located downtown. This spot is the definition of "keep Austin weird," and is also the original Chuy's! When you enter, feels like you're stepping back in time. Decor is awesome, unique, such as hubcaps on the ceilings. Service was fantastic throughout the visit, kind servers, and great tex-mex. One of my favorite things about this spot is the unlimited chips! They are fresh, light, warm. Dip it in their homemade pico de gallo, with their creamy jalapeño, it's the perfect appetizer and on the house they are also very willing to refill your chips! Don't be shy. King's *something I forgot the name* item, top of back of menu (9/10), $14.5 - Cheese Enchilada + Chicken Green Verde Enchilada + Beef Enchilada + 1 Taco + Queso dipped chips. - so much food it literally comes into plates! It also comes with beans and rice, both of which are pretty standard tasting - overall, don't expect the best tasting food of your life, but do expect to be extremely satisfied with the portion size, quality, and price combo - the enchiladas were all great, soaked in sauce, and very enjoyable. Our favorite was the green Verde enchilada. - taco reminds me a lot of Del taco, which I hold dearly to my heart. Thus I loved their taco haha Overall, 5/5 because of the fun atmosphere, reasonable prices, great service, refillable chips, and delicious sauces, and food. Definitely the epitome of Tex-Mex, and would recommend this to anybody visiting the city. read more

Chuy's on Barton Springs Road near Zilker Park and Zach Theatre is an institution. It has been open as long as I can remember. It reminds me of the Elvis era with a car on the side of a wall, wild colored wave art in the ceiling and brightly colored hanging lamps. Chuy's is known for its Tex-Mex vibe. My friend and I decided to eat at Chuy's before the Waitress musical (at Zach Theatre around the block from the theatre) as they are known for being quick to deliver your food. My friend ordered an enchilada taco plate and I ordered the two taco plate. Both plates came with Spanish rice and beans. My friend ordered an extra side of guacamole as her plate did not come with it. Literally, 5 minutes later our food was on our table. Chuy's must have a large and amazing staff! The food was tasty, filling and large in portion size (great value). Our server was Texas friendly and took our order pretty quickly after we had sat down. She also, came back to check on us and offered "to go" boxes. With so many folks in the restaurant, we felt like we were always on her radar and she prioritized our service. Chuy's offers indoor and outdoor seating and both were packed. You could hear the light roar of conversations throughout the restaurant because it was so densely packed. However, you could easily engage in a meaningful conversation at your table. Will consider returning, when visiting downtown Austin... read more

AMAZING!!! Last time my bf and I came to this Chuy's, we were super overstimulated and vowed to never go again, but after visiting a few other locations around Austin and coming back here- I can confidently say that they by far make the best rice and enchiladas! Their rice is so fluffy and fresh and their enchiladas always come out steaming- never skimping out on the sauce also. For the first time we also finally made it to the weekday happy hour from 3-6 PM and got the $5 "chips 'n' dips" deal with a new queso; the boom-boom queso and it was amazing!! Such a great deal considering the plain queso alone during regular hours is nearing $10... read more

This being one of the O.G. Chuy's locations, you can't go wrong with the food here. This place just screams "Austin Cool Vibes," and I always make a point to stop in for Happy Hour when I'm in town for the annual SXSW festival. It's sort of a tradition among myself and my friends to meet here at least once, and we always have a blast noshing on tasty queso, guacamole, and getting drunk on large and strong margaritas. Nobody does Tex-Mex food like Austin, and Chuy's is terrific. Yes, it's a chain. Yes, locals will turn their noses up if you tell them you're going here. But get over yourself! The food is so good. And the place is always packed, so it HAS to be filled with SOME locals, LOL! The portions are large (my hubby and I can share an appetizer or two and still leave with leftovers) and the ingredients are high quality. The folks in the kitchen here know how to cook, too, and we have never once been disappointed in either the food or the drinks! They have a very tiny parking lot that fills up, so catch at Uber here if you want less stress (plus, you can drink more if you aren't driving, SCORE)! The inside vibe has a retro, 1950s Texas feel. That's not a great descriptor, but it's the image they project. Think vinyl floors and formica countertops and bright turquoise plastic booths! The biggest caveat here is that it gets loud. Not just LOUD, but LOUD LOUD. You literally cannot hold a conversation here when it's packed, and it's unpleasantly, obnoxiously LOUD with patrons having to scream over each other. We've been here for dinner on a bustling Saturday night, and never ever again. We just sat there and couldn't say a word. It was soooo loud. Looking for a quiet, intimate date night? This ain't your place. It's lively to a fault, but surprisingly, Happy Hour is usually more subdued and chill. Go figure. The Happy Hour specials are good, and you can get big margaritas for cheap prices. Be sure to check their website for hours and current pricing, though. Also, if you go early enough for Happy Hour, you can enjoy some peace and quiet as the restaurant isn't as busy during the daylight hours as it is packed at night. We love Chuy's. From the magically thin and crispy complimentary chips (and super flavorful salsa) to the casual, friendly, and fast service, this Tex-Mex spot remains one of Austin's foodie gems. read more

Finally went to the original Chuy's! Queso: underwhelming. Extremely unseasoned. For it to have so many things in it (ground beef, pico, & guacamole), I expected it to be much more flavorful. Chips & Salsa: Pretty good! Salsa was on the spicy side tho, just FYI. Boom-Boom Enchilada - Boom-Boom Sauce has great flavorful. I get it every time that I come to Chuy's. read more

Just realized I've already left a 5 star review, but still felt compelled to share my experience because I think it's so important to show appreciation when someone goes above and beyond to be so kind and accommodating.

But they continue to excel in customer service! read more

On our Tex-Mex journey in Austin, everyone kept telling us about the legend of Chuy's. Therefore, I could not resist stopping here for dinner one night to enjoy the Tex-Mex experience. We got here around 8:45 or so on a Sunday evening and surprisingly it wasn't as busy as we thought it would be. The vibe is totally meant for the kids, so I enjoyed feeling young just for a little bit. Service was also super quick too. We ordered guacamole for the table (chips & salsa were included as expected) before ordering the main meal. For me, vegetarian options were a slight bit limited, but I made it work. I wish the Tex Mex sauce had a vegetarian variant, but that's for another time. I got the bean & cheese burrito, but with the ranchero sauce. It was pretty good. I probably should've got the spicier one with green chilies, but that's okay. I also had them make a spicy margarita, which was very nice as that wasn't explicitly on the menu. There were so many jalapeños in it and a generous pour. I appreciated both. All in all - a fun experience. read more

This was our first time to Chuy's! We went here on a day that we were starving and just wanted a lot of food for a cheap price after a long day. It took about 10 minutes to get a table on a weekday evening. I ordered a skinny margarita and my fiance got a strawberry marg. We didn't know what to order! All of the combos seemed like such a deal. My guest ordered the The King's Memorial Combo $15.78 The ultimate feast - seasoned ground beef enchilada with Tex-Mex sauce, chicken enchilada with Tangy Tomatillo sauce, and a cheese enchilada with Roasted Ranchero Sauce, plus a crispy taco and tostada chips dipped in creamy Queso. Served with Mexican or Green Chile rice, and refried beans. This was enough for 3 meals for him! It was so much food and if I ate meat we could totally just share this for dinner. I got the Veggie Enchiladas $12.71: A vibrant mix of spinach, zucchini, grilled peppers and onions, serranos, roasted green chiles, corn & cheese topped with Roasted Ranchero Sauce. Served with Mexican or Green Chile rice, and refried beans. They were really big enchiladas, but I did eat the whole thing. It was exactly what we expected. They also give you ranch with the chips in addition to salsa. They are the light airy chips that are very addicting. We will go back! Loved the quirky interior and shrine to Elvis. Good service. Family atmosphere - tons of kids. The bathroom was a bit of a hot mess though. The one stall in the women's room was broken so a stranger held it for me, and I held it for her. No paper towels. A line of people waiting for just 2 stalls for the whole busy restaurant. read more

Our to go server Sophie was absolutely amazing! Polite and friendly and so helpful! Thank you

Great place for students to come for a simple Tex-Mex meal "Full Bar" means margaritas and mojitos. Our guest loved her classic 'rita. No negronis or such here. The G&T was meh. The strawberry mojito is best avoided. Every dish is a variant of beans, rice, tortillas, queso and beef/chicken. Vegetarians can find avocados involved. My wife had the boom-boom sauce added to her veggie enchiladas. The heat alleged was an unfounded claim in our experience. For me, I had the red chili sauce and found the salsa served with the chips to have more heat. The chips are nice btw. It's a relatively noisy place on a Friday night. Bright yellow color palette gives a beachy feel. The servers are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. As others have noted this place is great for a visit after Barton Springs. Having come to Chuys for some 30 years I'm glad it's here for others. read more

I heard a lot of hype around Tex Mex when visiting Austin, so my friends and I went to Chuy's. We put ourselves on the waitlist with an estimated 10-15 minute wait, but we waited over 30. When we were seated, the servers were nice and the ambiance was unique and colorful. There were hardly any vegan options, so I just got a burrito bowl without meat, cheese, and sour cream. It was decent, but I'm not sure if I'd go again. Food: 5/10 Drinks: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Vegan-friendly: 3/10 read more

Chuy's - NEW- Tex-Mex Burrito Bowl - Tex-Mex Near Me - Austin, Texas

I would go back... Though I had a "big as yo' face" bean and cheese burrito with two signature sauces (Christmas style: red and green) and rice, cheese quesadilla with green chile, and a strawberry margarita, nothing stood out, to be honest, except the red salsa which I thought had the perfect amount of heat, enough to slow me down but not stop me from chowing down the chips that were more fragile than George Glass. Full disclosure: the quesadillas stood out to my wife and our co-worker's kid. No bueno. To quote them, my wife asked, "When have I not been known to finish a quesadilla?" (it was either her or Maya Angelou), and the five-year-old boy didn't finish his because "the cheese is gross." As for burritos being as big as yo' face, I think next time I will bring along Precious and the guy from Mask and eat like a king. This eclectic super-casual Chuy's is special as it is the flagship, opening in April 1982 by founders Zapp and Young, who, if I'm not mistaken, released "Doo Wa Ditty", which might explain why their red salsa has more bounce to the ounce. read more

Chuy's - Holden gives Chuy's four farts. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Austin, Texas

A colleague recommended I try this while I was in town because it had New Mexico green chile. That it did, well of course it was also a tex-mex place and one has to do that when in TX. I was pleased that there were vegetarian options on the menu as well. I had the veggie enchiladas. The enchiladas and the refried beans were delightful. The food was flavorful but not so spicy that you couldn't taste the food itself. The service was good and the server was good about letting me know what things were vegetarian and what weren't. I could imagine this place would get quite crowded at certain times of day, it wasn't huge. If you're in the area give it a try! If you miss Hatch green chile you also won't be disappointed! read more

I'm disappointed in myself for not writing a review for Chuy's sooner. While it's no longer just a "Texas thing" (with franchises now all over the states), that doesn't stop me from coming back! Like Rudy's, Chuy's is a reliable, go-to spot that's always solid and consistently delicious. There's never a time when I don't recommend Chuy's to out-of-towners. If you're wanting a true Tex-Mex experience, Chuy's is the place. But don't ask me what's the correlation between Elvis & Chuy's... What to order: A mountain of Creamy Jalapeño for your chips (you'll thank me later) and for those who enjoy a little bit of everything, The Elvis Presley Memorial Combo. The Elvis Presley combo comes with three different enchiladas and a taco with all the fixings (rice and beans). Service: I've always had incredible service at Chuy's, but one service stands out above the others. I never finish my Elvis Presley combo, and always need a to-go box. Noticing how much I scarfed down the chips & creamy jalapeño, our server gave me a whole bag of chips with a side of creamy jalapeño to take home. Saying I'm obsessed is an understatement! WARNING ON PARKING & WAIT TIMES: Since this is the original Chuy's location, it's built on a tiny lot with minimal parking & dining space. Wait times can be horrendous! Unfortunately, outdoor dining is not an option. read more

Visiting Austin, we had to get some old school Tex-Mex cuisine, and after striking out at some other spots, we wanted to go for a staple at Chuy's. First thing I noticed when looking at the menu was how affordable everything was. Fajitas for under $20, massive enchilada plates around $10-12, it feel unreal to see, especially because I never see prices like this in the Bay Area. So in terms of pricing and affordability, you don't have to spend a ton to leave full and with some leftovers. Sadly though, I thought the food was alright. I got the chicka chicka boom enchiladas, and while I liked the enchilada sauce, everything else on the plate was not it. The rice was dry, beans were beans, and the chicken had little to no flavor. The queso we got start was fine, didn't finish it because the portion size was big, but I was good after a couple bites. The best part of the meal was easily their margaritas. They had a newer special the Spicy Watermelon margarita, that was so good, I had to have 3. (2 there and 1 to-go). Those run around $12ish, not bad for the size. But the flavor and spiciness was perfect. Would order many times again. Overall, glad we got to try an staple restaurant. If I came back, it'd be for the margs. read more

The food is classic Tex-Mex, I judge restaurants by their beans and rice and they were both great. I got the Boom-Boom Enchiladas and the sauce was good, the chicken was seasoned unevenly - some had no salt, some too much. It was still really good. It was pretty busy since it was a Saturday but our server Cody did amazing, I could tell he was busy but he stayed attentive and positive (give them a raise!) The blackberry margarita was phenomenal! 10/10 read more

Just wanted to update. The Chuys team reached out to me. Apologized for their managers, and for the trouble in general. They refunded my meal as well. It means a lot to me when someone can apologize for issues or rudeness from staff, instead of blaming someone else and refusing to help at all. So I updated to 5 star... because when they are on point, they truly are the best. read more

My boyfriend and I are Chuy's superfans, and while we've tried various locations, the Chuy's downtown spot is, without a doubt, our absolute favorite. There's just a certain charm and energy there that we haven't quite found elsewhere. I'm a creature of habit when I go to Chuy's, and for good reason: I always, always get the Pancho's with the fully loaded topping. The generous helping of queso, the perfectly seasoned ground beef - it's pure comfort food perfection every single time. My boyfriend, on the other hand, likes to keep things interesting. He's constantly torn between the Shrimp Salad and the Shrimp Tacos. He's from Louisiana, so you know he's serious about his shrimp! And Chuy's certainly delivers on that front. The vibrant atmosphere, the consistently delicious food, and the friendly service at the downtown location make it our go-to for a fun and satisfying Tex-Mex meal. If you're a Chuy's fan or looking for a great spot downtown, this one comes highly recommended! read more

Chuy's was recommended to me by a friend who was raised in Austin, so I had high expectations for delicious Mexican food. What I didn't know what that Chuy's is a chain and i don't need to be in Austin to try it...(lol ) My friend and I got to this location around 8 and waited 45 minutes before getting seated. The place was super packed, so my hopes remained high. The service was extremely chaotic and the ordering experience felt rushed. I know they're busy, but it was just a lot to take in. About 2 minutes into getting our food, my friend and I noticed a cockroach walking around our booth. We immediately told the server, who then JUMPED TO MY SIDE AND KILLS THE ROACH in front of us (with no warning). I could not believe it...like the roach was just swatted a few inches from me and the waitress didn't think there were any further issues bc it was dead ! This soured our experience heavily... I will say that the beef taco salad came with a hefty amount of beef, though.... read more

An Austin staple! Chuy's has the best Tex Mex. I love their enchiladas verdes and am obsessed with the their queso and jalapeño ranch. They have outside and indoor seating and plenty of parking (unlike some of our other Austin favorites). You're also welcome to join the waitlist from home, a convenient addition. Their funky decor and chill vibes are perfect for a visit after a swim at Barton. read more

A quintessential Tex-Mex spot. This Chuy's is in a prime location, has extra fun and eclectic decor, and the food is what you would expect from any Chuy's: flavorful and cheesy with a punch of spice. PRO TIPS: - If your sever does NOT bring you a bowl of jalapeno ranch, ask for it. It's free and makes for a great chip dip. - Enchiladas can be customized to have pretty much any filling and sauce on top. I didn't know this the first few times I went and my favorite combo is a custom order: chicken enchiladas with deluxe tomatillo sauce read more

Chuy's has been a staple Tex mex for me since 1990. Someone mentioned that they had a shrimp crab enchiladas special for $13.99. Had to try it and while all Chuys are great, I like the location on Barton Springs since the ambiance is eclectic and place is small and always bustling. Waiter was awesome and attentive immediately serving their awesome jalapeño ranch and pico salsa with chips. Honestly, their chips are too greasy and frail which is both unfortunately and frustrating to load up on these two dips. I've digressed. The shrimp and crab enchiladas were awesome with the sauce was not the typical over fishy cream/del Mar but had a rose coloring and just perfect. Recommend. The ticket time was just under 9min but I was there during 5p weekday. Yes, the margs are high quality and Palomas good too, just too much ice so be sure to ask for light ice. It's sort of funny to read reviews of Chuy's beans being just beans. Chuys refried beans are the most awesome beans of any Tex mex place for decades. Not sure what they are talking about. read more
