    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Yes. You will either receive a buzzer from the host to let you know when your table is ready, or you will receive a text message. You can also join online at https://waitlist.getwisely.com/chuys-hwy-183/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.

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

So we were thinking of tacos or Mexican food and my daughter suggested this spot as she had come here with some friends and really enjoyed their sopecitos. I had never had a sopecito! What is that! So we had to try... We were lucky to arrive at the right time (9 pm!) where we got their last table!! Make reservations or something because this is another one of those places that fills up! So- we were taken care of immediately: chips and some very hot salsas were set on the table while we chose. They menu is in QR code format, but we asked and got paper menus as well. Well I got the chicken sopecitos , my daughter got the pork ones and my partner got the meat tacos. Everything was delicious, the food arrived promptly, the portion size was perfect and bountiful and everything was super enjoyable. I really enjoyed trying some New Mexican favorites. Next time I will try some other delicacies since I always get tacos tacos burritos or quesadillas: time for some new items on the menu! Enjoy!

We started with their famous house Margaritas with Tajín, and they were absolutely delicious--and definitely strong in the best way.

For our main dish, we split the vegetable Enchiladas de Mole Poblano, served with rice and black refried beans. I wish the enchiladas had more vegetables. Everything on the plate was outstanding, and I truly think they have the best mole in town--rich, complex, and unforgettable. We were also celebrating a friend's birthday, and the staff made it extra special by surprising her with a complimentary Tres Leches cake, which was just as amazing as everything else we had.
