Yvette our waitress was fantastic!! We got 5 star service from her. She certainly made our experience excellent! Hope they keep her around read more

Chuy's - One of the hatch chili specials - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

In a town with 1000 Mexican restaurants, corporate America has found a way to add one more. And, guess what? Corporate America failed in their endeavor to bring Mexican food, actually Tex-Mex, to El Paso. First off, they didn't have salsa! Seriously, they were out of salsa. We're waiting 16 minutes for salsa. This is El Paso, land of salsa and one corporate restaurant can't figure out to have enough salsa to make it through the day. The food is poor quality, the salsa (finally) watery, another style of salsa was bland. Nah, don't waste your time coming here. read more

Now I would normally give this place an easy 3 likely 4 star rating for the type of restaurant it is. But today is just not that day. I am 1 of 3 people sitting at the bar, but I'm the only one that doesn't work here out of the 3. It is 1:34 on a Thursday afternoon and the bartender is a female. I did get my order in pretty quickly being that I knew what I wanted and my drink. After that the bartender had nothing to do with me other than me looking at her back while she talks to the other people that work here (but not working at the moment). Took her no less than 7 minutes to finally ask me if I wanted any chips and salsa. Said no since I was guessing that my food would be out shortly. I always tip good but will not be tipping a dime this time. Other than her sucking at her job the food was actually pretty good as usual. read more

Tried chuys for the first time , never had tex mex ever, but I loved it. The appetizer sampler is amazing so is the #6 plate. You must try the tres Leches omg it's creamy and delicious . I loved the casual look the servers had, and the white manager was amazing ,such a nice guy. read more

This place is good...very good. And that creates a problem all in itself. I went on Tuesday at around 6 and the place was packed and on a wait...unusual for a Tuesday. Went back on Friday at around 430pm and it was even more crowded. Portion sizes are good, atmosphere is casual / fiesta-like and the food is very nummy. Just be prepared to wait if you get there even before the traditional dinner rush starts. read more

This is El Paso. We are home to the best Mexican food in the country. There is no need for Tex-Mex here, especially chain Tex-Mex. Set your expectations low for the food here and you will not be disappointed. read more

My first time here and im hooked. Being in El Paso you would think good mexican food is on every corner. Sadly no. This place is amazing from fresh not watered down salsa to literally watching Abuelita making your fresh tortillas! Definitely a hit with my family. Highly recommended read more

After a long trip from Fort Worth to El Paso, I'm sure we would have eaten anywhere but I'm glad we picked this spot. Being in El Paso, we wanted a TexMex experience, and they didn't disappoint. Our waiter, Gabe, was very personable and helped us with our selections. However, all the wait staff was very helpful and responsive when we needed something. read more

Love the food and service. Their daily specials are wonderful. I like the chicken stuffed avocado on Mondays, the flautas any day and the king Carne burrito on Fridays read more

Best Mexican food I've had and I've eaten a lot of Mexican food throughout the US and Mexico. Fresh rich flavors, perfectly blended seasonings. Homemade tortillas. Light crispy Chile rellanos. And Amazing thin crispy homemade chips. A definite visit anytime I go to or through El Paso. read more

Everytime I've gone I've never been impressed. Food is mediocre nothing great, I'd rather buy from a food truck and make my own drinks better than this place. read more

This warms my heart.... Soo excited we have this great place in EP!!! Our Austin favorite!!

I give three stars mostly because the service was good. We ordered the deluxe quesadilla and the meat in it was burned and there was barely any cheese. The creamy jalapeño sauce was a weird tasting ranch, I wouldn't recommend it. I ordered the nachos. They were decent, but I wouldn't come back for them. All in all, the atmosphere and service was good, but the food was subpar. read more

Ate here yet again and as always they have never disappointed me or my friends. Brought another friend today and he says he refers Chuys over Chipotle any day. I was honestly thinking that he was going to lick the plate he finished before anyone else. read more

I finally decided to give Chuy's a try. Nice Mexican traditional decor.The restaurant is very bright and vibrant.I ordered the Elvis Presley Memorial Combo and I was hoping for the best. Unfortunately that did not happen. The beans were bland and dry,the entire Combo was bland and overrated. Chuy's is just another restaurant that failed at an attempt to "authenticate" Mexican food or whatever type of food it is.Pro:The sprite was good and cold. read more

This is mine and my wife's new favorite restaurant in El Paso. The food is great and the service is even better.

Why is this place even in El Paso? The food is sooo bad, and greasy! My whole family got sick from it. If you want Mexican food go to an authentic place here in El Paso. This place is so gross. read more

This place has always been one of my favorites. Their steak burrito is delicious with the boom boom sauce. The queso compuesto that they serve doesnt have too much meat which sometimes makes the queso salty so I love to order it as an appetizer. Not much attention to customer service. I always feel like im waiting on refills for chips, salsa, and drinks. read more

If I could rate the food I would but we were sat down and waited 15mins to get our drink order, then were told it takes 45mins to get our food. So we just decided to pay our drinks. According to the waiter and I quote "they were running around with their heads chopped off because the food is taking forever." So I would waist my time coming here today. read more

I came to this restaurant hoping to get a different experience, unfortunately I had the worst. I went in a party of 3 on a Saturday around 1PM and the service was horrible. I can't imagine going any time in the evenings. The waitress took forever to get our order, even longer to come back to our table and see if we needed anything. I asked to modify their quesadillas and add sirloin, just to find out that when it was brought to me that it was ground sirloin, something the waitress failed to mention to me. Initially I didn't even get my food with the rest of my group, I had asked for onions on the side and I guess the waitress noticed the onions when she was bringing it out so I had to wait even longer just to get something that I wouldn't be happy with anyways. The waitress offered to exchange it out but told me it would take more time, I wanted to give it a shot so decided to hold off on sending it back. I took one bite, and the flavor was definitely not something I wanted to eat. To be fair it may have tasted good on its own, but when you're expecting strips of sirloin and they bring you something that looks like ground beef, you're not going to be happy right? After that one bite, I couldn't even get a hold of the waitress, the next time she came back to our table to check on us the rest of my group had already finished their meals. At which point I decided to just give up and send the meal back completely. At some point I ordered a Strawberry Mojito and must give a thanks to the bartender because it was the only thing keeping me from losing my patience. The mojito tasted great, but then again it did cost me about $7 bucks. To make the experience worse, when we asked for our checks to be separate, the waitress asked us to tell her what we had order (food, drinks and all). If that didn't annoy me enough, when we gave her the 3 credit cards to pay with (each with the appropriate tab) she went and charged one member for 2 of the meals and we had to wait another 10 minutes to get that fixed. What should have been a quick hour, hour and a half lunch turned into a 3 hour fiasco. It will be a heck of a long time before I decide to put up with their waitresses again. I really think the food may have been a good experience but if the service is going to be horrible then it's not worth it. read more

Chuy's is a neat diner style Tex-Mex restaurant that gives a very casual atmosphere yet serves up a variety of flavors. My wife and I came for just a casual date night after a movie and it was our first time here. The service is very prompt and very good our server jaqueline was awesome. They offered a pretty good happy hour specials on margaritas that included a variety of flavors other than lime, we didn't try it this time but many people were ordering them. They serve up the traditional tostada chips and salsa to begin with the salsa was made with fresh tomatoes which made it chunky which I love. Then they brought out another sauce called creamy jalapeño which was very delicious and perfect for those who aren't into very spicy sauces. For dinner I had the chicka-chicka boom boom enchilada plate and my wife had the vegetarian combination plate. Me personally, again the enchilada sauce was on par and had the roasted taste I love, unfortunately I was not a fan of the rice and beans I felt like I received the last part of the rice with the burnt pieces of rice, the refried beans tastes like the ones you buy in a can from the grocery store but all In all the sauce made up for it. The veggie combo plate had a chile relleno-tasty but the batter reminded us of the type of batter on fried chicken (very thick and flakey). For the veggie enchilada, it was nice to see an enchilada that had more than your average cheese, it had squash and spinach and was covered in a roasted pepper tasting sauce and cheese which really tasted like pizza. All in all we would probably come back to try other items read more

Chuy's - Pretty cool ceiling - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

The staff is nice and the food is good. But the last three times I have gone I have had problems. Hair in the food and the other two were long waits. Went in today and waited for more than 20 minutes before I had enough. It is very hit and miss with this place, but the food is good when everything goes right. read more

The restroom was horrible I told the manager and she just blew me off. Never came by to apologize for not paper in the stall and how dirty they were. However Val our waitress was wonderful and she took matters into her own hands. read more

I like Chuys but was dissapointed with beans were too dry and all food was really spicy even Chile rellenos. I know its TeX mex but I feel Taco Cabana and Taco Bell are better. That's how I feel. Im Mexican. I like spicy food would be willing to go again but not my favorite. read more

Good tex-mex food. I had the green enchiladas and they were actually spicy (a big surprise in these kind of restaurants) and I have to say that it has one of the best 3 leches cakes in El Paso. read more

Food is terrible at this location, went once with my wife and we will never go again. The only thing that was good about this place was after i sent my food back i got a refund. It is sad that they have good staff but not the food. Would go again but only for chips. read more

Good place only been here once burritos are spot on their salas are good nice place

Okay let's start by getting this out of the way, Chuy's is Tex-Mex. Get it, Teeex-Meeex. Don't go in with the idea that this will be like the local Mexican restaurants here in town. I have been wanting to try this place out since they opened and made plans to go as soon as they opened. As we got there, we were seated right away. The place was already starting to get packed. We were served the traditional chips and salsa. The chips were thin but that was a plus, not greasy at all. The salsa was really good. I am in the few that cant eat cilantro because of the taste. I could taste the cilantro in the salsa, however, it was so light, it didn't bother me. Very good. We also had the jalapeno cream and hatch green chile salsa which were good as well. I was in the mood for tacos so I had the tacos al carbon. They gave me two, I was like "only two", but trust me, two was enough. They served them with the typical side dishes rice and beans. That was good as well, seasoned well. The tacos were great, came with a side of guacamole and pico. Usually I don't like pico because of the cilantro but as with the salsa, the taste was light and didn't bother me. The service was great, no complaints. The server was very attentive and provided us everything we needed. All in all, I would recommend it even if you think Tex-Mex doesn't stand up to our local Mexican flavor. read more

I am very disappointed in this place. My husband and I just waited for over and hour, and watched the server take person after person. We went to go go check when we would be called, and they had scratched our name off the list. I am very disappointed in this place, and will never spend a dime or recommend anyone to this restaurant ever again! Thank you ruining our date night, and wasting our time. read more

I was super disappointed, the food was terrible. It tasted like frozen food not Tex mex. I took my mother and she didn't even finish her food it was so gross. The waiter literally just stood there so I could pay. I couldn't even enjoy my time there because he was kicking us out basically. read more

Ok so where do I begin? First of all this is the BEST Mexican I've had in all the southwest! Wow on Wow! We arrived on Saturday around 7pm and didn't have a wait. The manager sat us and share with us what makes Chuy's special. The chips are light and fresh, perfectly made. The salsa is Amazing- fresh of course. That white jalapeño salsa is to die for and fresh. Starting to see a pattern? Everything is made Fresh everyday and throughout the day. The don't have a walkin Freezer and this shows. ( only a little freezer for ice cream) Had a Delicious margarita with blood orange flavor our waiter recommended. Spot on! Now the main course, tacos made carne guisada which was a scrumptious stew like beef and Husband had a combo plate of enchiladas, taco and a chalupa that he basically licked the plate clean. We finished with a tres leches for dessert that was out of this world Good! Everything was Fresh and every bite of everything you could definitely tell. When your new to the area and people tell you to go to Chicos Tacos skip this recommendation and head straight for Chuy's!!! Oh and the manager came and talked to us a lot throughout our time there and even talked us into dessert. She was Awesome as well as our server- Michael! Amazing customer service and Awesome experience all around. We'll be back often! read more

I've heard good things about the food quality at other locations, but I didn't get to taste it here. The service was atrocious. We were told 10 minutes. Waited 30. Went to check on them and they had completely forgotten about us. Were seated and again forgotten. We walked out. Terrible service/management. read more

I've been to Chuy's in other cities before so I came in already knowing the food would be good. We sat on the patio and had the most amazing service from Alexis. He is the main reason for the 5 star rating. He kept our chip bowl full, glasses full, knew the menu and made great recommendations. His service was seriously outstanding and made outer lunch that much more enjoyable. Our margaritas were delicious, especially the lime and strawberry swirl one. My shrimp Baja tacos were so good that I couldn't even offer my husband a bite because I only had two and wanted to eat them all. He had a chicken chimichanga which he enjoyed also. Can't wait to come back during happy hour. Hopefully Alexis will be working. read more

Not even good fake Mexican food. Cheese enchilada was dry and tasteless as was the rellleno was undercooked and bad. Service was good if you ordered drinks but asked twice for refill on water and never got it. read more

Wow! This place certainly hit the spot for me and my co-workers. We enjoyed a nice lunch here on someone's recommendation. This place did not disappoint. We were seated right away for lunch in the outdoor patio area. Nice outdoor set-up, plenty of shade and a nice cool breeze. I skipped the margarita for lunch since this was during work hours... but I will definitely be back to try them. The chips were served with a salsa as well as some type of jalapeno ranch dip. Both were great and complimented the chips well. We also ordered the queso compuesto to go with the chips which was delicious! The service was okay... nothing exceptional. We had to wave down our waitress a few times for chip refills. Seems they would have given a table of four hungry patrons more than one basket of chips. I ordered the Friday special- pork enchiladas. The rice and beans were noticeably different from what I've had at other Tex-Mex places.... but it was a good different. Much more spices and flavors to enjoy with the enchiladas. I definitely cleaned my plate! Lol Will be back with the husband for sure. read more

Great place!! My husband and I stopped here while he was in town for a work conference, and never having been to the area before, we stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. Upon walking into the restaurant, we were greeted with a friendly, smiling hostess, and really fun atmosphere inside. Since it was so nice out, we decided to dine out on their patio, which was nicely decorated and also had a fun vibe. The free chips and salsa were amazing. The salsa had a bit of a bite to it for us, but the flavor was great. Our food did not disappoint. Both our dishes were served very hot and tasted great! Our waitress was nice and attentive, and the only complaint we have was that we were not told about the salsa bar we later saw inside, after finishing our meals. Also, just wish this place had a citrus-flavored soda, such as Mountain Dew. But overall-Fun place with flavorful food and a great atmosphere! read more

Really good TexMex menu. Everything we had was delicious. Pretty good mixed drinks at a decent price. Really enjoyed the various sauces. Unfortunately the waiter was awful. To the point where at one point we thought he had left or forgot he even had a table. Good experience at the restaurant, and waiters can be hit or miss, but they can also ruin a meal. There are other good restaurants that have consistently good service, and those are the places I'll go next time. read more

I'm here in El Paso visiting family and my daughter says we've got to go eat at Chuy's before you leave. I loved the ambiance of this place the colors and themes they have going on puts you in a happy mood. We went for dinner on a Wednesday night and it wasn't too busy most tables were occupied but there was no wait to be seated. Our waitress Brittani was friendly and provided excellent service. The food was delicious I love how they use Hatch chiles in many of their dishes. I ordered the chicka boom enchiladas and the flavor and spicy factor were amazing also had a margarita that was awesome! I live in Los Angeles and we need a Chuy's out here!! read more

We got there because we had not many options. Food is not fine nor mexican, it is the typical tex-mex restaurant food. The staff was alwas friendly. Food didn't take long to come to the table but we didn't have silverware to start eating. Knives didn't get to the table until we were half finished because "they were washing them". read more

I was really looking forward to this place, and after tasting the "Hatch green chile" it was not! I had a smothered burrito and tried their salsas (too for ever for the waiter to bring them), and I do not plan to go here again. Food was like a "mexican tv dinner" which I loved as a kid, but that evening I go super sick and it had to be something I ate there. There is no parking, and the locale is hard to get in and out of. There are too many other "Mexican" places here in El Paso to waste your time here. read more
