I pretty much base most of my experience at Tex-Mex restaurants off of the quality of their fish tacos (one of my favorite dishes). Chuy's makes their baja tacos perfectly--lightly battered with red cabbage and a bit of jalapeno ranch dressing. I wasn't too impressed with their salsa(s) or queso, but the meal made up for it. The service was incredible despite the fact that it was so crowded that I and my friend waited 25 minutes to get a table. I'm actually quite confident that I could just throw a dart onto a menu and order whatever it landed on, and the meal would be incredible. read more

In every restaurant I go to, I have to find my 1 or 2 go-to meals and stick with them. Chuy's just has a couple of things that I crave: deluxe or chick-a-chick-a boom boom enchiladas and the chuychanga. This is quintessential Tex-Mex...nothing more, nothing less. Good margaritas, great service, great food. I'm always happy when I leave and that's the mark of a great restaurant to me. read more

Restaurant is cute but was really crowding on the Friday night we were there. Food was ok, but ultimately I was turned off when I asked to order CARNE ASADA fries and the server looked at me like I was an alien. We had to break it down for him and eventually I received my order. The fries were not as good as Cali Carne Asada fries, but the Austin fries will do. read more

This may be the only Austin restaurant ever to have been immortalized in a James Bond book (The Facts of Death, by Raymond Benson). Bond, a martini man, slowly warms to the Margaritas. Chuy's house Margaritas are the best I've had in town. They just taste so fresh. Let me qualify that. I am a "house margarita" guy. I won't pay the extra 5 bucks for the honor of choosing my own tequila and orange liquor. I want a fresh-tasting batch-made beverage. Just like I won't pay $20 to cook my own steak or make my own stir fry, I'd rather leave things to the experts. Bond thought the place was a bit too loud. WTF? And he can deal with the sound of a jet engine by his ear as he grips to the top of a Cessna crashing to Earth? Chuy's is Festive! They have a great creamy jalapeno sauce for the chips which you need to ask for. Now I'm only the 100th person who has told you that. They have great shrimp tacos for one of their lunch specials. Their tortilla soup is one of the better ones in town. Chuy's always makes me want to eat lite for some reason. Maybe because I'm having too much fun for a self-inflicted a food coma. While I've been to the ones on 183 and on North Lamar with my co-workers, the 78704 shop is where I go to misbehave. It will leave you stirred but not shaken. read more

I'm going to start out by saying, my friends loved this place-- thought it was amazing. I ordered the Chuy's special, which I figured would be good, considering its their "special." But, I found it to be really bland. On the plus side, the space is fun and kitchy, the waitress was very nice, and the chips and salsa were awesome... however, meal was just too blah. read more

"Don't let anyone tell you to go to Chuy's" "Run, don't walk away from Chuy's" This was pretty much the advice I was given by Austin foodies when I asked for their Tex-Mex recommendations. I wish I had heeded their warnings, for in the opinion of this non-local, Chuy's is vastly overrated and just downright meh. But it's an Austin institution, you say! Tex-Mex wouldn't be Tex-Mex without Chuy's! Well if that's the case, then you probably think that Chili's (or Applebee's or TGI Friday's -- choose one) is an American institution too. And you would be wrong. Truth be told, the food at Chuy's is no better than (California-based) Acapulco or El Torito, which is what I tend to think of as tourist food. The Chuy's Special -- blue corn tortillas stacked with roasted chicken, cheese and tomatillo sauce, topped with sour cream -- was quite literally a hot mess. The chicken was dry and flavorless, the tortillas were mealy, and the rice and beans sides were forgettable. The best thing about the dish was the tomatillo sauce. The only thing I found appetizing were the chips and dipping sauces, especially the creamy jalapeno sauce. That sauce alone makes Chuy's worthwhile. As for the Texas Martini, it was just decent -- not too this, not too that. It was interesting to try, but I probably wouldn't order again. I guess I don't really find the combination of tequila and olives very tasty. read more

HAPPY DAY ARE YOU REAL!? that was the name of our waitress- Happy Day. I'm still not sure if she was pulling our leg or not, but that's sick! And I'm going to assume it's because she's from Austin, because Austin is awesome!! Now, I've been to Chuys before and their food is lovely. Their "chuys crack" (jalapeno ranch dipping sauce?) is fantastic and so is their queso. However, my review is for their margaritas... (but I'm still going to give them a high rating because this place is awesome) I had the bloody margarita? Or something? It was in celebration of halloween and had a hint of orange in it. Very tasty. The next two I had were strawberry and lime swirl. All tasted incredible and margarita-tastic. However, I was kinda in the mood for getting a buzz... who wouldn't be if they were planning on drinking three margaritas. But I felt nothing- so they're quite weak... womp womp. Oh well, this place is still great, but get margaritas at Maudies read more

Obviously there are better places for interior Mexican, but Chuy's serves Tex Mex and they do it better than anyone else -- especially this original location. Favorite entrees are the Elvis Fried Chicken (chicken breast breaded with potato chips and topped with cheese and green chile sauce), the Southwestern Enchiladas (green chile chicken enchiladas topped with a fried egg -- I prefer regular corn tortillas to the blue corn that normally come with it), and the Shrimp Chile Relleno with tomatillo sauce. By the way, if you want a change for the relleno, they'll do it grilled instead of fried at this location. For sides, I prefer the refried beans over the charro, and my dog agrees. The only time he has counter-surfed or gotten into the garbage it was after we had chuy's takeout and he licked the beans container clean. Also I like the green chile rice, though the regular is also good. And you must ALWAYS order a side of Creamy Jalapeno sauce as soon as you sit down; while Chuy's fresh salsa is excellent (as are the chips, by the way), the Creamy Jalapeno sauce is worth killing for. Friends who used to live in Texas used to take a quart back with them (before the 3-ounce liquid rule for flying). For beverages, Negra Modelo is my fave, though in good Texas fashion you can also get Lone Star and Shiner when you're feeling a little more gringo. Mi esposa likes the New Mexican Martini, which is basically a margarita made with green chile infused tequila shaken and served with olives -- quite tasty and with a little extra bite. The wait is longer at this original location, but it's worth it. This is where the best Chuy's staff ends up working, from the kitchen to the waiters to bar and front-of-house. So show up 30-45 minutes earlier than you would normally eat (or 60 minutes on weekends), grab a little bit of bar space, get a drink, and hit the free chip bar. Don't forget to drop a dime (really a dollar) to set the jukebox programing to your liking. read more

Completely lackluster so called Mexican food with no flavor I'm trying not to be a snob who grew up eating Mexican food IN MEXICO but this stuff is a far fetch from anything like real Mexican cuisine. Taco stands, tex-mex, and the hoard of real mexican dining along south 1st or other places should keep you from ever coming here. It's not terrible but its bad The decor is simply awful, tacky, cramped, and the whole place feels a little dirty. Bottom-Line: maybe a little better than taco bell... read more

Today my husband & I were basically doing an Old Austin tour because he was born here he likes to visit what he deems "Old Austin". This Chuy's location is truly one of my favorites...I have visited Chuy's on Slaughter, Chuy's in San Antonio off I-35 & Chuy's just both of San Antonio off 281. I just have the feeling Elvis himself could come walking through the door any minute. His photo's, funky Elvis decor and even the aquarium looks like it came from Graceland w/t the Scuba Diver w/t bubbling open treasure chest (remember those?). 1. The food is always satisfying, I had the Chile Relleno & Chicken Enchilada...really good w/t the Hatch Geen Chile Sauce. My husband always gets #5...Enchilada plate w/t Ranchero Sauce...he loves it. We leave in a food coma! 2. The wait staff is awesome! 3. Now they have a food trailer park right next door you can also explore for desserts or maybe lunch & dinner another day. 4. If you enjoy funky laid back atmosphere, this is your place!! Enjoy read more

Chuy's - Yummy queso & chips - Tex-Mex Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

I am just going to say 4 words. Texas Martini & Queso Compuesto I heart Chuy's. Keep Austin Weird. read more

Always have a place in my heart for Chuy's. Great TEX-MEX. I love hearing the loser hipsters bitch about how Chuy's doesn't capture the true essence of Mexican cuisine. Well No Freakin' Derr! It's not supposed to be authentic Mexican cuisine. This place was one of the pioneers in creating what we all now know as Tex Mex and it still has awesome food, great atmosphere and nice staff. If you want tripas, and menudo, and lengua, with a raspa, you better go find a taqueria. This place does Tex Mex well and won't apologize for it. Now go order a big margarita and eat a crapload of chips and queso!! read more

I could wait for my table for hours and it'd still be worth it. At Chuys, enchiladas are king. Specifically the "Chuy's Special." The best darn enchiladas I've EVER had. The vibe is great and the music is decidedly alternative. How austin! read more

Damnit. I had a wonderful review all typed out and then my browser crashed. Too bad i can't yelp Windows 7. Alas, here I go again. All in all, i like Chuy's, always have. This location in particular is ideal as it is close to my house and always seems to come through in a pinch. As it did last Thursday. We had to change dinner plans suddenly and wanted something quick and tasty. and warm. and cheesy (it was rainy and miserable outside). Chuy's was on our way, and Tex-Mex fit the bill. There was a ten minute wait but fortunately we were entertained by a "regular" (see Erik W. review). In addition to the laughs he provided, I now know exactly what to order when I'm not in the mood for a spicy Mexican Martini = the Mike. It's a fancy STRONG marg on the rocks served with half a Strawberry marg. I was directed to pound the first few inches, then dump the strawberry in and savor the rest. I did exactly that and am now a huge fan. I got my warm and cheesy in the form of free queso. I love Chuy's happy hour - free queso, plus all the fixins like salsa, beans and carne. Last time I went to Chuys I ate about four bowls of (free!) queso for my dinner. Good stuff. We were seated and served prompty. We informed the waiter we had Somewhere to Be and I was impressed at how quickly we got our food. I had that day's special, the taquitos, which are good covered in creamy jalapeno, even better when dipped in (free!) queso. Thanks again Chuy's! Ps. The "Mike" is aout $10 so go during happy hour when you can eat your dinner for free :-) read more

Chuy's was our last stop for food in Austin and I'd say it's a step above a chain like Chili's for Tex-Mex, but not as good as the non-chain places. I ordered the hatch beef tacos which were really good, but it was literally just the beef and some sliced onion on a flour tortilla (I'd prefer corn). How about some hatch green chili sauce, cheese, and tomato on the tacos??? If this were a review just of our server, Maegan, it would be a 10-star review. I have never seen such a great server who got everything right and did it with a smile and charm. Especially considering we were a large group of surly, hungry people (they said the wait was 25 mins but it was actually an hour). read more

I love tex mex, and this place is jawesome. Like most people are saying, the creamy jalapeno dip is mmm mmm better. Chips and salsa while you wait, which if on a weekend, is freaking long as hell. The salsa is chunky and kinda spicy if you manage to bite one of the peppers. chuychanga is good and their burritos are nice and big and a bit too filling and makes me go into food coma for days. Service is pretty good. I haven't had a server forget about me so far. Parking is tough on weekends, but then that sounds like most of the popular places in austin. to sum it up: Good food, rather good service, long wait with little parking (mainly weekends) read more

Well, I had to pick a place I'd been to recently to be my 200th review, and I guess this is it. I figured it was fitting because I've been going to Chuy's for over 10 years (the first time that I went to Chuy's [which was around the time of the Jenna Bush incident], some kindly relatives of mine took me out for a meal, knowing that I was a "starving" college student living in the UT dorms, who'd therefore really appreciate something like it). Anyhow, these days when my husband and I are in Austin Chuy's is usually too crowded to go, and since we only go out to eat in Austin once or twice a week at most and usually want to try new/different things, we don't make it to Chuy's much. Before this week the last time we went was over a year ago. Happy to report that Chuy's is still pretty good and pretty cheap. We went on a Wednesday night at around 7:30, and though the place was near-full (if there were empty tables at all they weren't empty for long), we didn't have to wait for a table. Service was generally efficient ... our waiter stopped by our table many times to check on us, and attempted to anticipate our needs (such as drink refills for my diet coke and my husband's iced tea), though there was one time I had to get a chip refill for myself. When we sat down, we were, of course, given chips and salsa. I was surprised that the salsa we were given was sort of a "wet pico" rather than the famous thin ketchup-y salsa of yore. We liked the pico-ish stuff okay though it was a bit spicy. I would've asked for the creamy jalapeno sauce if we weren't getting queso compuesto, but I thought that would probably be enough containers sitting around on our 2-top, so I didn't. The queso compuesto was good, but a bit salty. The thin chips also broke off a bit into it. When I did get up to get more chips, I saw the ketchup-y salsa was available in the chip refill area, so I got some for nostalgia's sake, table space be damned. My husband was happy to see it. Sometime during the chip/salsa/queso enjoyment time, we ordered. My husband got the chicken chile relleno plate, and I got the deluxe tomatillo enchiladas. The food came out before we finished our queso, which was good since we still had appetites. Since I've probably been eating at slightly more authentic places, I was at first surprised by the plain, white-meat chicken filling in the enchiladas, but quickly settled back into enjoying an old favorite. The chicken was good if a bit bland (I think I did get one slightly fatty bite, but no big deal), the other components of the enchiladas (sauce and corn tortillas) were great, and the rice and beans were decent though in a small portion. I'd asked the not-our-server guy who brought out the food for two flour tortillas and he'd not come back, but our waiter promptly brought them after I told him what I wanted. My husband enjoyed his rellenos and said he was glad to finally have a meal at Chuy's that was satisfying without being super-filling. During our meal we finished the queso compuesto we'd ordered for an appetizer, so the saltiness of it must not have bothered us too much. Our food totaled $30, which I felt was not bad at all for what we got. We were in and out of the place in less than an hour, which could be good or bad depending on what one is wanting. We could've lingered longer though if we'd been enjoying desserts, margaritas, etc., that evening, but those aren't typically things that we do on weeknights. There are many, many other restaurants to go to in Austin, so it will probably be awhile before we make it back to Chuy's. But we'll definitely be back eventually. read more

Another trip to Chuy's - but this time, it wasn't to eat (we had just had some great BBQ at Whole Foods - see my previous review). We love Chuy's shirts - and we can't go home without bringing some home. What a great deal! I bought t 6 shirts and got one free. The family's gonna love me when I get home! read more

As soon as the server comes to your table, you should ask for some creamy jalapeno sauce. Don't worry about dipping your chips in salsa. That's child's play. Do yourself a favor and get the creamy jalapeno sauce. Out of all the locations in Austin, this one is my favorite. Yes, it's small but the food just tastes better here. I love the classic tex-mex enchiladas, the deluxe enchiladas, the fajita plate, and the carne guisada. The carne guisada is a special so it's not available every day! Ask for some creamy jalapeno sauce to go. read more

Completely and utterly delicious!! We came here today hoping for a good meal. What we got instead was a fabulous meal. My mother in law had the Chile Rellenos plate and she was extremely happy with her choice. My husband had. Stacked Enchiladas. He loved them so much, he couldn't stop eating even when full. Oh, and he ordered a plate to go...lol. I had a bowl of hot and delicious chicken tortilla soup. Yummy!! Service was excellent and atmosphere was fun. Go if you want a really good time in a fun environment. read more

I give this place 3 stars based on the bean and cheese burrito with deluxe tomatillo sauce and the Texas martini with extra olives. I've tried the veggie enchiladas and was definitely not impressed. Stick with the tried and true and you'll be fine. Be prepared to wait - no matter what the night. read more

Was craving mexican food one day...and I mean....CRAVING you know....when you will eat NOTHING but what you're craving at that moment? Yeah, THAT kind of craving, you know what I'm talking about! Anyways, decided to try Chuys since so many people in austin rave about how awesome this place is. We went there for lunch on the weekend, it was packed but had no wait, so that much was good. The inside was...not for me, it was TOO cramped and that's an issue for me, I don't like being able to have a conversation with 4 other tables around me, if I wanted family style sitting I would have gone to benihanas. Our waitress was rude and seemed annoyed that she had to wait on us. We had a simple order, we knew what we wanted by the time she got around to the table and she was still extremely rude, but whatever, this place is REALLY about the food right?!?!? WRONG. Got our food in a timely matter and dug in. It wasn't bad, don't get me wrong, I mean, the food was alright, I just had high expectations of this place because all my friends love it and the food is only "okay". I had the chicken enchiladas with an egg on top of it [forgot the name] and....I dunno, I thought it would be booming with flavor and it really wasn't. The person I went with wasn't too thrilled with his plate either, he had the same issue with his plate that I had with mine. The chip and salsa tasted like they were straight outta the bag and out of the jar, which is a total let down. Overall the experience has definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. I do plan on going again [to a different location] because THIS one was so bad that I refuse to go there again, overall it was just a bad experience. read more

Amazing service and top notch Tex mex. A colleague of mine from Texas told me to try it when it town so I scouted out this location, the original location, and everything about it was perfect. Cool insides in what looks like a pretty vintage, classic building. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. Loved my three steak green chili tacos, their special rice, the charros beans, the salsa, the queso. The tortilla chips just kept flowing. Would return in a heartbeat for this style of food. And who knew, they've got shrines to Elvis and a special side door for hippies ! read more

Chuy's sucks. I know, I know, I've now spoken blaspheme and have packed my bags waiting for the armed posse to arrive with my "friendly" escort out of town. But it's true. The best thing about this place are the velvet Elvis' on the walls, and we all know where his junk food habits left him. If someone says "a South Florida hotel lounge" I will find you and we will have words. Is Chuy's an "Austin" thing to do? Absolutely. The location on Barton Springs is the original Chuy's, and as such has quite a bit of personality, from the mismatched floor tiles, the original hand painted school of fish swimming above your head in the bar, the Elvis memorabilia, the chips and salsa out of a car trunk, the garden gazing globes shellacked into the exterior wall, the spinning wind thingamabobs stretched across the front, the incredibly small parking lot, the long delays to get seated, I could go on....and it's true, it's all there, ready and waiting. But the hallmark of a restaurant should be the FOOD, right? And that's where the story goes South, and unfortunately it's not of the border. Chuy's food is NOT good, it's just not. I mean, it's ok, but in a town with more tex mex, mex, mex-tex, and temex joints to choose from than million dollar grass blades in Zilker park, why settle for "ok"? Almost everything I've had here is either under-seasoned, greasy, not fresh, stale or some combination of the four. And worst of all it's inconsistent. What might be great one visit is hardly fit to eat the next or even worse at another location. Chuy's is just another in my string of good things, gone big, gone bad. Maybe at one point Chuy's was good. Maybe at one point there weren't other or at least better options, maybe at one point I would have been singing it's praises, but it's nothing but a disappointment at this point. All-in-all it's worth one visit so you can say you've been, but don't expect your taste buds to be wowed or taken to new heights, be sure to go at non-peak hours to avoid long waits, and allow time to park. As far as the menu goes the burritos and the tortilla soup are the lesser of the evils. And don't let the cutesy names of the sauces and dishes fool you, it's all still crap. read more

We had a lot of great suggestions for places to dine while we were in Austin. This happened to be one of my favorites. The decorations inside were quirky and they even have their own t-shirts (I bought one as a souvenir)! The service was very spotty and they would take orders and serve people that came after us. Not a fan of that. Luckily we weren't in any rush... but it would help if they worked on service there. The five stars go to the star of the show though... the food! The chips and salsa are as good as everyone says. Not sure if they make it themselves, but it's tasty! We ordered tacos and a burrito to share. Just come hungry because portions are biiiig! All I have to say: Best Tex-Mex I ever had. read more

It's average tex mex. You should be able to eat for under ten bucks. You can't. Just like Chuy's Hula Hut, their salsa rocks (except they don't put pineapple juice in it here?). And just like Hula Hut, the chips and salsa is the only reason I ever go back. read more

Chuychanga with deluxe tomatillo. Chosen as my last meal on earth for a reason. First ate here in 1988 and it will be the first place I eat when I next visit. Splurge and ask for a side of creamy jalapeno for your chips--you won't regret it. Something I really love about Chuy's is that as many times as I feasted there, I never, ever, ever had the same server, but always had fast, reliable, friendly service. This speaks volumes of the Chuy's philosophy. read more

Best Margarita on the Planet. If it is good enough for the Bush twins to try and slip fake IDs at, then it must be good. Brunch rocks too on Sunday. read more

As a native Southern Californian and a frequent traveler to Mexico, I'm not usually a fan of TexMex or any overly americanized Mexican food. With that said, Chuy's is probably the best TexMex I've had. I enjoyed the quirky and colorful decor, their queso dip is is one of the best I've ever had, and the service is spectacular - especially considering the huge crowds Chuy's draws. . My wife and I each had the cheese and onion enchiladas, which I guess are also a "TexMex" dish. They were pretty darn good. I feel this place is a must if you're in Austin read more

Overrated. That's it. One word. Overrated. It's always in the Top Whatever list, and I can't figure out why. The food isn't bad... it's just average. Austin is FULL of authentic, fairly priced Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurants with MUCH better food. They must serve some powerful Kool-Aid... because it's just average food! I'd pick any taqueria or, on the other end, a Pappasito's any day over Chuy's. But, if it's nearby and you're not paying, go for it. It's OK. read more

The parking is pretty awful, especially if you own a big truck. This is one of the smaller Chuy's out there... but what it lacks in space it makes up in character. The food was great and the service was excellent. Try the Jalepeno Ranch and tell me it's not tasty, I dare you. Great place to take family/visitors while you're in the area and the local Mexican cuisine isn't doing justice. Be patient for your table, it's a little cramped but worth the wait. No beers on tap at this location, bummer! read more

I first fell in love with Chuy's as a college student at Texas State - woo go 'cats! I cannot give this place enough praise. The atmosphere is SO Austin (which means the bomb diggity) The margaritas are enough to knock you off your ass and oh-so-refreshing after a HOT, summer afternoon at Barton Springs Pool. God I miss Texas! But I digress... The food is the crème de la crème of Tex-Mex cuisine. I'm not even going to suggest a certain item on the menu because really you just can't go wrong with anything you order. Just go, close your eyes and point. Open them, order and enjoy. And buy a tee-shirt while you're at it! ;-) Why the hell are you still here reading my review?...GO!! read more

Many thanks to this Chuy's for hosting my visiting family of twelve (complete with six kids!) for lunch during Thanksgiving week. From the host to our server, everyone was remarkably nice and patient despite our table clearly being a hot mess. I'm sorry, and thank you. read more

Oh, Chuy's. Please, whatever you do, do not open a restaurant within a mile of my apartment. I will become a sphere, and still, I will roll myself to your door for your delightful chips and queso, and a fried avocado or seven. Admittedly, I'd been living in the Tex-Mex wastelands of New England for over 10 years before I first came to know Chuy's, so perhaps you should take my opinion with a grain of salt (and cumin. And cayenne. And a tonnnn of cheese. Oh god I'm drooling.) But I have checked out a few places in the area and Chuy's blows them out of the water. I recommend the enchiladas and the surprisingly strong and delicious frozen margaritas. read more

Happy Hour and Nacho Bar review!!! Great deal!!! Came during happy hour from 4-7pm because of their nacho bar!!!! It is the best deal ever!!! We got frozen margaritas for $4, including house, strawberry, mango, and a spicy mango (which is basically just with fireball). One margarita can get you pretty tipsy. I had two and I was feeling reaaaal good. So there is a decent amount of alcohol in the drinks and they are really good! Everyone is wonderfully nice and the nacho bar is amazing!!! There is always fresh nachos coming out with queso, refried beans, meat, salsa, and jalapenos. I can't believe I never knew about this!!!! We are planning to come again next week. read more

Chuy's happy hour would be my favorite thing ever, if only I didn't need to squeeze into a wedding dress in a few months. Nacho bar, hell yeah! Sure, the $3.50 margaritas are weak, but the nacho bar is borderline miraculous. I stopped by last week after a few hours reading and chilling at Barton Springs, and it was the perfect antidote to a day in the sun. I'm serious about the margaritas, though. I spent all afternoon outside, just playing around and swimming, and arrived at Chuy's pleasantly worn out and clearly dehydrated. After two margaritas, I was still stone-cold sober. Hmmmm...Still, I'll be back! read more

The Hard Rock Cafe of Mexican food. I was underwhelmed, except by the tourist appeal. The tourist appeal is definitely overwhelming. There are better restaurants near the Chuy's on Barton Springs. Any of those places to the east would be better. They are all pretty good. Chuy's is the dud on that strip. read more

Had a great dinner here. Went on a recommendation from friends and they didn't steer us wrong. Seated quickly, chips and salsa were legit and cocktails quickly arrived. Went with the waiters recommendation and had a steak burrito with "Boom Boom" sauce. Fantastic. A bit on the noisy side. Not a problem, just know what to expect. Would happily return next time I'm in Austin. read more

So I've been coming to this Chuy's almost my whole life. My parents brought me here as a kid and I still go all the time. I've never had a bad experience at this location and the only down side I can think of is that it's usually always busy. But I couldn't take a star off for them being so good it's always packed, wouldn't feel fair. They have tons of parking and a huge happy hour area where you can get drinks or have some appetizers while you wait for a table. Great place for after work drinks, family dinner, or even just lunch. You can also get anything to go and take it over to the park which is nice in the spring/summer. read more

We're from Arizona and I was born in New Mexico. I say that because of the delicious green chili they provide here.This place was pretty crowded for dinner. I would suggest to grab a margarita while you wait. When seated you will be given chips and salsa. They also include this ranch style sauce that can only be described by facial expression. I've never had better tasting ranch in my life. The salsa was very fresh. We ordered green chili stew to start. For those who appreciate New Mexican green chili you have to try it. I then devoured the chicka chicka boom boom (or whatever it's called). Man that was a good choice. The boom boom sauce is also a revelation. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was unique. If you're looking for southwestern comfort food, this is your destination. read more
