Big as yo face burrito
Gavin M.

This will fill you tf up a for a good price and only gives u a tiny bit of guilt after. Not too much at all

Roasted Chicken Burrito
Amanda L.

Our waiter was very nice (tall guy with brown hair). However when I tried to surprise my boyfriend with a birthday thing it was really awkward. I asked the hostess and she wasn't sure if they did something for bday. Then she found my table after about 10 mins just looked at me and said "yes we do" and then walked away. Everyone was confused because I was TRYING to surprise them. Food was good, I enjoyed the al carbo beef tacos a lot and would probably order again. The chicken burrito was very mid but the green chile rice was very good. Salsa was proper spicy. Birthday surprise never came. Margs were not very strong.

Chicken Flautas with overly salty refried beans and green chile rice.
Susan E.

My daughter, granddaughter, and I had a late Saturday lunch at this Chuy's location. We were seated immediately in a booth near the back. Our waitress took our drink orders and came back with beverages, chips and salsa before taking our orders. It took quite some time to get our food. Meanwhile, we enjoyed the complimentary chips and 2 different salsas. I had the chicken flautas, my daughter had deluxe chicken enchiladas and my granddaughter had a kids meal of a bean and cheese burrito. The kids meal included a drink and dessert. My flautas were crispy with tender chicken inside, and came with sides of refried beans and green chile rice, plus scoops of sour cream and guacamole and some shredded lettuce and tomatoes. The beans were way too salty but everything else was good. My daughter enjoyed her enchiladas, and my granddaughter ate about half of her huge burrito. She managed to find room for dessert, an orange push-up (the other choice was vanilla ice cream). All in all, we had an OK meal. Chuy's is consistently pretty predictable, and average as Tex-Mex goes.

Comida Deluxe -- no ranchero on the flautas.
Laura D.

Tried one more time. My family has been going to all of the Austin locations of Chuy's for over 40 years, including each new location as they opened. Since the acquisition, Darden keeps eliminating standard serving styles and downgrading items in the name of efficiency. What happened to the chips? They aren't the same and lack the delicious flavor they once had. The flautas are no longer served with ranchero sauce on them - I've been ordering the comida deluxe (in a rotation of other dishes) for decades, and now the flautas are served naked on it? Why? And the beloved Chuy's breading that used to be standard for the chile rellenos is now a generic panko breading like every other chain restaurant in America. It's amazing the inside still looks like Chuy's, considering the newer locations (mueller, for example) aren't the Chuy's vibe at all, but I guess it would be extra work to strip the old decor from the long-standing restaurants that are still making money. Please stop changing the recipes and flavors that made Chuy's Chuy's. It's not a standard Tex Mex restaurant chain -- it was an Austin original that was recognizably different in flavor from the rest of the Tex Mex choices in Austin, but it is rapidly becoming forgettable as Darden continues to cut corners and eliminate stylings that made it memorable for decades. My family will be making memories and building new traditions elsewhere. PLEASE change my mind.

Met up with some friends at Chuy's for dinner and it was so good! I've been a few times before and I've always liked the dishes I've had. The vibe is nice and the service is pretty good. It's also a lot of food for pretty good prices.

Elizabeth K.

amazing service, server brought extra cilantro dip without us even asking. vibes are always high and the food is even better!

Does? Chuys have waitlist

Did Chuys get out of selling t-shirts there is no shirts on the website?

Hi Gregory! We're not currently selling t-shirts online, but they are still available for purchase at all of our restaurants.

Does this place offer veg options , replace meat with beans and no lard and rice should be in no chicken broth?

There are some options, but probably none as restrictive as those you've mentioned. It's a Tex-Mex restaurant first and foremost.

I all the Dishes Spicy or do they have some dishes that are not spicy?

They have both. Our favorite is the Pancho nachos with fajita beef. It is enough for 3 or 4. Order it without jalapenos.

Listen as a self proclaimed Texmex/ Mexican food ambassador I wanted to be critical of this place…read moreand cannot say one bad thing about it other than it's always packed. We absolutely recommend coming here and getting fajitas or enchiladas or Barbacoa quesadillas maybe all of the above if you bring enough people because it's all delicious! The restaurant itself is very well kept and clean. It does get a little bit loud, but that's only because it's always packed to the doors. Mama Betty's has a really fun outdoor patio space and always has great music playing. It's an awesome establishment to bring families kids Little League teams, office meetings whatever you want you won't disappoint anybody you bring. No matter who we have gotten as far as the wait staff they have all been extremely friendly, kind and helpful when it came to choosing something on the menu--everybody here has a wonderful and warm personality. They really have put together a home run of a restaurant and I hope that they stay around for a long time. Last, but not least the drinks are outstanding, and everything is very competitively and fairly priced. If you haven't tried it and are worried about it being packed come during the weekday at lunch.

Went on Sunday after Easter service because we were craving something a friend brought us during a…read morerecent meal train but felt it a bit lacking. First, the menu needs a rewrite for content and clarity. For example, buying fajitas doesn't list guacamole and based on size, single, for two and family you get more sides of rice or beans. There's no definition of how much actual meat you get and our server couldn't provide that information beyond a rough estimate. Second, the fajitas we got of family size and for two portions for 7 were not consistently cooked. We asked for medium rare and got about 25% at that with the ones in the center at a more well done. Again, the multiple tiny sides were more obnoxious than anything as it's legit beans and rice unless you want to upcharge. The cilantro lime rice tastes like nothing so skip that and go for abuelita rice which has a hint of flavor. Overall, the butter/gravy that go on the fajitas is the real winner but again a menu where you overbuy and misunderstand (that doesn't even list extras like guacamole or a simple small queso) was beyond frustrating. I would stick to them for one to possibly get a better cook.

That rush hour traffic in Austin is lethal. If it starts raining too, oh buddy, what a nightmare…read more Eventually you'll make it to your destination and if it's half as good as El Alma, it'll be a sigh of relief. I've driven by El Alma many times being in the Austin area, but I never went until last Thursday, and after surviving a brief monsoon, I was glad to get a few drinks and eat some good TexMex with my large party just before a wedding. The best way to describe El Alma is that it is TexMex that is Austinified. Everything feels a little more unique and special than your classic TexMex options. I started off with a Mezcal Margarita that put a little hair on my chest and got me going. My group ordered two of their Nachitos, which were these nice nachos. For my main entrée, I got 3 Al Pastor tacos on corn with a side of their rice and beans. Their pastor was served with pineapples, onions, and cilantro with limes on the side. They were great and I immediately crushed them all. I thought their rice and beans were pretty good as well and a step above the typical TexMex rice and beans. The server was pretty attentive throughout our whole visit, and I honestly have no complaints about what they had to offer. Pricing on the meal and drinks was pretty standard for Austin, and I didn't think anything really took me out of the experience. On top of that, for being in Barton Springs, there is quite a bit of parking. I would love to come back at some point in the future and hang out on their rooftop bar because that seems like a lot of fun. Shoutout to El Alma for being a TexMex oasis saving me from the MoPac traffic. RIYL: TexMex, but better than your average

The guacamole was mostly just avocado but they put pickled veggies with it and it will light you up! Our server was super sweet and did a good job and the place was slammed. It was SXSW weekend so all of the extra crazies were in town. The churros do not get cooked inside. They were wet and gummy. We mentioned to the manager and she was very apologetic and replaced them immediately. They were still raw inside but they were already removed from our ticket. The house margaritas were very good! Like I said, it was a crazy, busy weekend so the DJ had the tunes bumping really loudly. Not sure if it's always this way but with concrete ceilings and floors it was loud. Hard to hear server and each other. I'd still go back for the food.

ATX Cocina has one of the best happy hours in Austin in terms of food quality! The HH menu is small…read morebut curated well! Happy hour is from 5-6pm Monday through Thursday and it gets busy! I started with a strong house margarita and followed it up with a lychee martini (not on the HH menu) The martini was really pretty but tasted more like a strawberry lemonade. Tacos de Pescado and Tacos Alambre were delicious!! I also ordered Hamachi (not on the HH menu) which was the best hamachi I've ever had, seriously! The flavors were tangy, sweet and paired perfectly. I enjoyed the Tacos de Pescado just as much as the hamachi the pickled cabbage was the surprising star of the plate! Our server (Taylor?) was very sweet. She explained the menu well and made great recommendations. Parking is very tricky in the area so I took rideshare!

I wanted to taste the poblano, ricotta, and mole, but the acidity was too much. Guac was really good. The small slices of jalapeño gave it a nice kick. Chips were way too salty though. Esquites were just okay. I usually like a little sweetness, but these leaned more savory, not really my thing. Queso fundido wasn't for me either. The pickled chiles didn't work, I think onions and tomatoes would've been better. Machete was the best part. Huge portion, really good, and I added corn which made it even better.

I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak.
