Mark D.

Good eats here! Came in for dinner and started in the bar. HH so had a margarita and HH appt of beans/guac/salsa and chips $5 bucks. Darn good chips. Stayed in the bar 2nd margarita and chicken soft (flour) tortillas beans, rice and guac. The chicken tacos are fajita style marinated in Shiner Bach and cooked on chargrill. Delicious. HH goes to 6pm, nice quiet with an outside patio. Definitely recommend.

This their idea of a sangria swirl...albeit, they claim the sangria is white peach. Read that again..."white"
Torrey S.

Their sangria swirl was a "peach sangria." Not good. In fact, it was god-awful. We got the appetizer sampler, and the nachos (whatever cutesy name they call them) had almost no cheese nor beans at all. They were barely bruschetta. The only thing edible on the sampler were the flautas (and they were taquitos). The bartender was over worked, and the one helper she had spent a good twenty minutes talking to one table. I'm done with Chuy's - scaled down menu, sold out to a big conglomerate. There is no way their standards get better.

Guacamole
Dave B.

Chuy's is a pretty easy go-to if you are looking for consistently good food. Tonight I started with the guacamole and ordered the combo fajitas. Guacamole was good and the fajitas were tender and delicious. My server was very pleasant and friendly.

Guacamole, spicy ranch, queso and pico de gallo

Loved it! We sat in the bar on the foggiest day of the year. Ok, maybe not the foggiest day of the year, but the only day I was there and it was super foggy. I was glum going in, but the enthusiastic service, yummy chips, guacamole, spicy ranch sauce and queso cheered me up. This was my first time in this Texas chain and I'll definitely be back. The tortilla soup was great! My companion ordered a steak fajita burrito and it was gigantic as well as tasty.

Chipotle restaurant

My second and most likely last time I will be ordering from this dirty unsanitary restaurant. The tables were disgusting and not wiped down. The steak was overly salty and way too expensive for the quality of food. Won't be coming back unfortunately.

Fajitas for two (for one)

This place is okay. It's a decent middle-of-the-road Tex-Mex chain. I have felt that way about it since having my first Chuy's experience in Humble almost 20 years ago, and still feel that way about it today. In my mind, it's basically the Chili's of Tex-Mex. Chuy's is an Austin native Tex-Mex chain that has since proliferated throughout other parts of the state. In fact, as of writing this, Chuy's turned 40 this year. Happy 40th, Chuys! Despite how average their food is, I believe one of the reasons for their popularity is their margarita options, happy hours, and chips and salsa bars. Also, all of their locations are old school Austin "funky Tex-Mex" festive, which combined with the aforementioned, probably makes for some great experiences. I will say they have done a good job at corporate branding. They are all basically the same, from layout, décor, food prep, and service standards. I, like most other consumers, do appreciate it when a chain maintains consistency, and for that they deserve a fair amount of credit. This particular location is right off of SPID, in an area surrounded by hotels and other chain restaurants. It is in an ideal place, IMO. I would not normally go out of my way to come to a Chuy's but would not totally avoid coming here either.

Green Chile Relleno Combo

I am so glad that Corpus Christi has a Chuy's restaurant. I've spent most of my life in Austin and this place reminds me of home and brings back many memories. This Chuy's definitely has imported the Austin vibe with everything from their Taco Cat shirts to all the little odds and ends hanging on the walls and ceiling. Our waitress was super friendly and never neglected us and was very mindful of our needs, including topping off our drinks and chips without us needing to ask. That's 5 star customer service. Chuy's has a new menu item recommended to me by our server called the Green Chile Relleno Combo. It was awesome! You get to have your choice of either a chicken or cheese chile relleno and the type of sauce you want it drizzled in. I chose the chicken and one of the medium heat sauces. I'm so glad I chose medium because it did pack a bit of a bite which I liked. Anything else hotter that was on their menu would have been too much for me. We also ordered their beef fajitas. I don't care for them as they are just ok to me. Nothing to write home about. I also ordered their new raspberry margarita. Wow, it was packed full of raspberry flavor! It was dang tasty and I was feeling petty good after having only just one. It's a good thing I didn't have to drive after leaving the restaurant. Their chips and salsas are par for the course of what they always serve. The jalapeño ranch dip is like crack for me. I have to force myself to stop eating it because it is so delicious. All in all, I give this Chuy's location 5 stars. They never disappoint me.

quite good food, the chuychanga was quite good. Abby was such a great person and brought great food

Receipt decent price for the food
Terry M.

First time I visited this establishment on 7/2/24 I was greeted by Mia my server also known as cupcake she was very knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks first she had brought me chips and salsa as usual any Tex-Mex restaurant both the sauces were absolutely delicious then I had ordered a taco plate with a Corona Extra dressed in tahin and lime food was very good with the exception of the Spanish rice tend to be dry and Bland other than that it was really good I would recommend this establishment for family and friends and businesses

Paid extra for avocado slices. This is like the size of a quarter. Really? Don't send this out as an extra cost :/
Erin M.

Usually get takeout from here bc I'm traveling. Half the time there's an issue with my order, food taste is on point generally. Have had portion issues in the past, kind of not up to speed with the rest of the Austin locations IMO.

Taco Salad*
Crystal N.

definitely a bang for ur buck! I ordered togo and was shocked that the burrito was that big!! i only ate 1/3 of it lol. I also ordered a taco salad with fajita chicken which was also super good! If you bring a framed picture of your dog you get a free appetizer (i believe...). def will be returning here :)

Always a great choice for Tex-Mex, no matter the location. Consistently perfect. Try the jalapeño ranch.

If you go through my reviews you will see I am a tough yet fair and honest reviewer that travels…read moreeverywhere. I honestly can not say enough wonderful things about this place. This place is what you dream of when you are on the road traveling and need a great meal, fast, for a great price, served by friendly attentive people. I have been in town working for a couple of months and I am here at least twice a week. My advice is to get a combo. I usually get the Texas Plate or Leon's Plate (Both $9). The flour tortillas are house made and very soft and fluffy. I ordered corn tortillas with my lengua tacos one time and they asked, "Do you want store bought or home made?" Is that a real question? Salsa is goofy in the Styrofoam cup, but here's a tip... you can ask for green sauce or a hotter red sauce they are both better than what you initially get. Service is Jimmy Johns fast. Don't plan on having a conversation while you wait for your food. I ordered and within 3 minutes my food came out piping hot. Fantastic flavors and extremely filling. You wont leave hungry. My only nitpick gripe would be the tamales are really good but you can only get them on Leon's Plate. I would love a combo with 1 tamale and 2 tacos of your choice with rice and beans. Best part is the price. I got the Leon's plate and a large Margarita and my tab was $13.52 + tip. Hell yeah...

I've been here a handful of times…read more Visit 1: carne guisada plate ordered through the drive-thru, delicious and love convenience. Visit 2: dined in and ordered carne asada plate, delicious. Visit 3: got breakfast thru the drive thru, chilaquiles with egg mixed in, no salsa ranchera They made the corn tortilla chips very soggy and there were ONIONS which I do not like and which was not disclosed, only ate a quarter or the top layer of the plate. Visit 4: was sick with vomiting so got tortilla soup. Chicken was cooked but not tenderized. I liked the one from Cancun's better. Visit 5: brought hubby here. He commented that carne guisada was overcooked, I tasted and agreed. I put this place to the true test by ordering menudo... and they failed. Menudo tasted like they didn't wash tripas after parboiling them. Each bite was initially good follow up by an uncomfortable, dirty aftertaste. My verdict: not bad, just mid. Maybe some issues with quality control. I'll be back to try the seafood though.

This place came HIGHLY recommended to us from my family. They said this is where you get authentic…read moreMexican cuisine. As a vegan, that made me excited because actual Mexican food usually has less cheese and can be made vegan. The business is quaint. There was a friendly hostess to welcome us in and our server was very hospitable. We ordered the chile relleno without cheese, zucchini in pasilla pepper sauce, and mole verde off the vegetarian options on the menu. We also enjoyed guacamole and chips. Our server was happy to accommodate our vegan modifications and it was really easy to communicate with him. The flavors are just WOW! Hands down the best guacamole of my life. The sauces are vibrant and rich. Everything tasted so fresh. And the prices for this quality of food cannot be beat. My husband and I literally licked sauce off the plates to make sure we did not miss one ounce of that authentic Mexican flavor. This place is top of our list of businesses to visit next time we are in town visiting family. We had an incredible experience and cannot wait to continue to explore the vegetarian menu options.

Unfortunately this place didn't hit for us The floors were…read moresticky and the table we sat at was not cleaned very well. I based my decision to go on how many stars it had. It's one of the only restaurants in the area above 4 stars. The service was good the waiter was attentive and seemed like a good hang but the food was something else. We were served chips and sauce that was delicious no complaints there. But it was when we received our entrees it all went down hill my wife settled for the abodobo shrimp tacos because every thing else she wanted was out of stock and I got the taco platter. The taco platter only really had one decent taco on it the other 2 were lacking flavor and filling. The chorizo taco was decent. The asada taco was lacking flavor and had barely any cilantro and onion and the pastor taco was rubbery and had no flavor whatsoever so ever. Had to drench it in the delectable hot sauce to make it go down a little easier. The shrimp tacos were loaded with shrimp but lacking flavor. Overall I hope this place gets it together it seems like it can be a great spot if it tries hard enough the staff is super friendly and I hope they succeed. Food was rough but the server was great

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere and a beautifully designed space that made for the perfect date spot! We started with the Queso Fundido and Nachos con Carne, both of which were recommended to us--and absolutely did not disappoint! For our main course, we shared the Tacos de Asada and the Birria Lunch Special. Not only was the lunch special a great value, but it also came with some of the best beans I've had in a while-officially my new favorite!
