Crispy taco - ground beef
Kayla T.

I really enjoy the food and the drinks. The service is always nice and I'm glad that they've moved the location closer to me so that I can visit more

Sunday afternoon for a late lunch, Hector was our server & bartender and so great. We shared the beef fajitas with a side salad, delicious green chili ranch. The beef came out sizzling on a bed of the best vegetables. The restaurant is decorated very tropical and we loved the photos posted of all the dogs who have visited

Love going to Chuy's in Austin and wanted to come here to revisit the memories. First, they recently relocated and the new location is very big. Lots of tables and no wait for lunch on Saturday. The service was decent and the food was good, but not as great as what I remembered. The prices are reasonable and the free chips and salsa are amazing! It's a very family friendly restaurant and the decor and colors are vibrant.

The blandest Tacos Al Carbon I've ever tasted
Milke D.

I normally don't give out a bad review but, I can't help myself on this one. Food at best is Tex-Mex, which is about all the good I can say. Zero flavor, zero spice, literally no salt or pepper, beans were dry, rice was dry, meat was dry. It tasted like they are cooking for 80 year-old white people who are allergic to spice. Also, hot sauce was not hot at all.

Mexicobb salad

Chuy's never disappoints. I decided to try something new here, the Mexicobb salad. I was pleasantly surprised by how large and tasty it was! Definitely recommend eating it with come creamy jalapeño! Service was great and we were able to walk in without needing to wait for a table thanks to joining the online waitlist. There is parking behind the restaurant but it looked like it could fill up fast so beware.

Had a great time here on Saturday, National Margarita day!! I called the day before to be sure they had something going on and they had several drinks specials. I opted for the $5 premium shot for my margarita on ice. Of course it was PACKED - as always and expecially because the sun was out & it was a great day for the people who live in the neighborhood to walk over. And this location is moving soon - due to development here. My friend & I managed to get seats near the front door so people-watching added to our lunch. We had the apps and drinks and got so full we didn't make it to the enchiladas I was dying for! From the time I entered the service was great, these people have been trained well. I was answered even as they ran by. The bartender was super busy but when I hesitated on which drink special I wanted, he stopped to explain what each one was. I took his suggestion of the shot, which was really what I wanted anyway, lol. But great service deserves a tip, don't forget! These people were working hard. Our server was friendly and didn't rush us. Food was served hot and timely and she checked if I wanted another drink but oops, forgot to notice my water was empty and the salty food and rimmed drinks make you thirsty for water. I asked for it and she brought it with my 2nd margarita. The apps were awesome but I forgot to take a photo before we dived in! Go see Chuys!

Amazing chips and salsa  with the drink menu
Ashley Q.

Had the most fabulous lunch today at Chuys. Walked in at 2:30, and was immediately seated. Wanted something filling but not too heavy. Decided on the appetizer sampler plate,lunch priced @$14! Had alittle of everything that I was looking for. The chips and the salsa were really good. Good combination of cilantro, onions and tomatoes. Chips were hot and a little salty. But still really good till the main course came out. The atmosphere inside is really cool and pretty eclectic. Huge bar area right by the front door. They have happy hour 3 to 5 daily and weekend specials too. The inside was very spacious with lots of tables and booths. Or if you want to sit outside, they have plenty of seating there as well. You can even look up and see the dancing frogs above your head. If you decide outside is your jam. My server was Melissa, she was very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. Even gave me a to go water. I wish we had a Chuy's in Rockwall. They would definitely give some of our Mexican restaurants a run for their money. I would love to come back and try some of their drink specials. They look and sound yummy tasting!

We had a great experience at Chuy's! The food was delicious, and our server was very attentive and friendly throughout the meal. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed. We'll definitely be back!

Just look at my pics! Queso with boom boom sauce looks like green pea baby food. The taste is just as awe full. The refried beans used taste of a can and there is no taste of queso at all. The frozen margaritas are good but not really strong. It's one of those places that gives you cheaper quality food and drinks, dressed up as Tex mex for cheap price point. Your body would thank you to visit a good Tex mex place such as Los Palmas or hit up El Tizoncito for their awesome frozen margaritas. Where just one is guaranteed to give u a buzz. Super tired of restaurants taking advantage of their customers. This certainly isn't what it was 5 years ago. #pass4now

I owed a neighbor a dinner and margaritas for watching our pets during our most recent vacation and have been busy, but I finally remembered he wanted to watch the NBA draft, so we went to our now, local Chuys for my first time and his second! We sat at the bar and Grace our bartender was very attentive! Something I have always enjoyed about Chuy's is the great colors, tile work and art on the walls, not to mention Elvis Fan!! We each got several combos of the frozen margaritas...my favorite was lime and strawberry. Got the fajitas and they did not disappoint, although I wished they had corn tortillas...Great location and great service...I will be back! :) --- Do advise to get there earlier or later, as the place does get busy during peak hours.

Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom Enchiladas
Kelsey K.

I had never been to a Chuys but heard great things about the Jalapeño ranch so that was my sole reason for going. I went for lunch and was given the chips and salsa both of which were incredibly fresh. The salsa still had foam in it from the blender and the chips were warm from the fryer. I asked for the Jalopeno ranch for my chips and the server kindly brought one for each of us. Also points that they give each person their own salsa bowl I love that. Well after we downed a whole basket of chips we were already full but I got the chicka chicka boom boom enchiladas which were delicious the sauce was perfectly spiced! My brother got the Baja shrimp tacos which he also liked! I will definitely be back

According to my previous review, it has been 13 years (!) since I've been here. Wow. I wish Yelp had half stars because 4 is a bit high and 3.5 seems more accurate. This is an iconic restaurant in Highland Park, which means it has been around a long time. Parking is still tough-to-impossible to find. We went for lunch on a Saturday. I like the ambiance and decor. It is funky and intended to be cool, although by now it is cliche and similar to liking a bad movie simply because it is so bad. The positives: -frozen margaria. Wow, really good. Fresh lime flavor, not some pre-made mix. -salsa is fresh and spicy -chips are light and not greasy -Elvis Presley combo is a good deal and tasty. You get a lot of food for $13 and the quality of food is good. The tortilla for the taco is homemade and fried in-house. The three enchiladas were good, although I could only eat 1.5 of them. The negatives: -parking, parking, parking. -the beef in the Taco Al Carbon was chewy, not tender, and had a lot of gristle. The wife hated it. -the cheese in the kid's quesadilla was velveeta. Really? She liked it only because she does know better. Whatever happened to real cheddar? Our server was working hard but had too many tables so she often was lost. We had to repeat our request for more salsa and to go boxes. With so many other Tex-Mex options in the Metroplex, it probably will be another 13 years before I return.

Service was trash Waited 25min for a drink at the bar people to the left and right of us were getting drinks asap

Is there another kind of bean or only refried?

Hi Kathy - Our go to bean option is refried beans. We don't have a different bean at this time.

A staple of Uptown, Las Palmas is often referred to as the best Tex-Mex in Dallas. While I may be…read morebiased as it's my local spot, I do think Las Palmas is excellent. The location is super cute and always packed. You definitely need a reservation or have to go super early to get a spot. There is valet parking as well as street parking, which can get a bit crowded. I've had a ton of different food items the years, but their fajitas are their signature dish for a reason! It comes out sizzling, fresh, and delicious. Do not pass up on the bone marrow sauce, it transforms the dish to beyond a 10/10! The salsas are always good and then tortilla chips salty and fresh. I start with a skinny margarita w a salt rim, which was good. Our waiter, Abraham, was great! He was very attentive and was very knowledgeable about the menu. We also order the ceviche to start, which was yummy! The crackers were a bit of an odd pairing for me and I stuck with tortilla chips, but overall delicious!! My friend ordered the steak quesadilla and thought it was tasty too.

I wished it came with more than 3 tortillas or at least 4 since I don't put too much meat in my fajitas. I also tried the hickory grilled ribs. It was kinda salty, but the barbecue sauce was ok. The meat was very tender & falls off the bone. The fries that it comes with were alright. There was a little of wait, but I didn't mind since the food was good. Our food did take a while. Our waitress was very attentive & filled our water. There was seating inside & outside on the patio. I was glad that we were sat outside since it was a beautiful day today. Besides inside was kinda dark. Overall, the food is a little pricey, but totally worth it. A must are their fajitas.

The short of it--food was fine, but certainly felt overpriced for what we ate…read more Long of it--Sat outside and it was nice. Here in Texas, chips and salsa are such a commonplace experience it's off-putting to pay for them. We ordered the guacamole and the chips and salsa come with it, so that was, I guess, better...but the guacamole was $16, so there's that. The salsa was tasty as was the guacamole, but again, for the portion it's really not worth it. We had the queso flameado, which was yummy and the flour tortillas are good! We split the sirloin and were underwhelmed. For a grilled meats place the steak was very under seasoned and wasn't giving us fresh hot grilled vibes. Meh at best, as were the rice and beans. We ordered elote as a side and it was really the best thing we ate. Service was friendly and efficient! Cocktails average $16ish. Again, for the prices we expected better.

Our friends found this spot and it was such a great find! The vibe is amazing, nice decor, great…read moremusic, good service. We hung out comfortably and had a couple of drinks before heading out. The food is amazing!! Obviously every dish is meat based here and it's cooked to perfection. Seasoned deliciously and very tender. The garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and tasty. We also ordered Chicharrónes and guac. I'll admit I was very skeptical about The Chicharrónes because they're either cooked right or they're not. They got it down here. Everything was cooked exceptionally well and delicious. 10/10 recommend. Food and drinks are great!

Chris our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time walking us through the menu and explaining what made El Carlos Elegante so special. The drinks were perfect. My wife loved her Desert Flor while I thoroughly enjoyed my Modelo Micheleda. Her Surf and Turf one hitter was exceptional. I have to say my Crab Cake was just ok. It tasted a little pasty and very heavy on the bread. The Pulpo was absolutely amazing. Perfect texture and the sauce it was served almost had me licking the plate. The El Machete was incredible from its presentation, to the freshness of the corn tortilla, to the quality of the meat inside. Definitely recommend this. We really liked our Okra + Shishito course, we just wished it had more okra in it. The two things I loved about the Al Pastor was of course the sauce it was served on but the fact that I got to enjoy it like a steak. It was served sliced on a bias like flank steak. Typically Al Pastor is finely chopped and served in tacos and burritos, so this was a different eating experience for me. And of course it was delicious as well. We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

I was genuinely excited to bring my friend here for her birthday after such an incredible…read moreexperience back in December. That visit checked every box -- the food, service, ambiance, and overall hospitality were all exceptional. What really stood out to me then was the attention to detail. I had casually mentioned that one of my cocktails wasn't quite my taste, and Harry personally reached out afterward to say they'd gladly adjust it next time. That kind of thoughtful follow-up leaves a lasting impression and is exactly the sort of hospitality that elevates a restaurant experience. Unfortunately, this recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. We decided to do a combination of à la carte dishes along with the Experience menu after being told this version would feature entirely off-menu items, which genuinely intrigued us since Ihad also done the Experience previously. At the start of dinner, we were asked about allergies and dietary restrictions. I clearly explained that I have a mango allergy and do not eat beef. Our server then asked whether I ate other meats, and I clarified yes -- and even specifically mentioned that if the machete dish was beef, please still include it because my friend could enjoy it and I really wanted her to try it. He confirmed it would be the sirloin version, so we happily agreed not to modify that course. So imagine our surprise when one of the first dishes arrived dressed with a mango vinaigrette. Thankfully, we barely caught him quietly mentioning "mango" as he set it down. We immediately looked at each other thinking, "Didn't we just discuss the allergy?" It was disappointing, but unfortunately also representative of the overall service throughout the evening. Our server seemed disengaged, inattentive, and often not fully listening. Empty glasses sat untouched, opportunities to order additional items were missed, and at one point we were simply handed the check without even being asked if we wanted anything else. We also ordered a bottle of sparkling wine and ended up pouring it ourselves for most of the evening because our glasses were rarely refilled. I completely understand not leaving the bottle tableside if walkway space is limited, but repeatedly needing to get up ourselves to retrieve it felt out of sync with the level of service one expects from a Michelin-recommended restaurant -- especially at this price point. Then came the machete dish. Instead of the sirloin version we specifically discussed, we received the vegetarian potato version. When the server asked how it looked, I politely explained that we were disappointed because he had specifically told us it would be the sirloin preparation. At minimum, I would have expected another protein substitution given the earlier conversation about what I could eat. I'm also still unclear whether the Experience menu was truly "off-menu" as described, since several dishes -- including the halibut -- appeared familiar. Had that been communicated differently, we likely would have skipped the Experience altogether and simply curated our own meal. At the end of the night, spending over $500 while pouring our own wine, nearly being served an allergen we explicitly disclosed, and receiving dishes different from what was promised made for a deeply disappointing experience -- especially after such a phenomenal first visit. It honestly felt sad more than anything because I know how wonderful this restaurant can be. I'm not sure what changed in the last five months, but the difference was significant.
