Service can be slow, but the food is really good. I loved the Macho Burrito (the Saturday special), which between green chiles and tomatillo sauce is quite spicy but quite yummy. My daughter dug the grilled shrimp tacos and my wife took to the veggie enchilada w/ boom-boom sauce. One warning: the rice has a lot of good flavor, but also a bit of a kick (not a good thing if you're a typical kid or don't care for spice). read more

My coworkers and I came here for happy hour which is located in the side bar area. They don't necessarily have food specials for HH but they do offer FREE NACHOS! I love the concept! It's a hallowed out hood of a car and they have tortilla chips and all different toppings to create your own nachos. The nachos filled me up so I didn't get to order food but I definitely would like to come back again and try their menu! They do have drink deals for HH - including various margarita flavors! read more

This is such a sad review to write. I used to love watching the old lady's make fresh tortillas. The nacho cart during happy hour with my wife and the extensive menu that never ended. Sadly all three things are gone and chuy is a shell of itself before the pandemic. The prices are higher and the service is lower. I don't know if there is any coming back, but I hope so. I miss Chuy's read more

Not worth the money. I ordered a burrito but got some chicken and cheese rolled up in an open ended quesadilla. It was a a glob of cheese glueing some chicken inside in the middle and the rest falling out of the sides. I dont know if this was their "take" on burritos but it definitely should not have been advertised as such. read more

Terrible service. Hostess very nice but ordered carry out and it was a half hour late. Most employees were very rude. Used to be a great restaurant. Management really lacking. read more

Wife and I went to Chuy's on a Saturday night. Got there around 7 pm. Had a wait of about 10 mins to get seated. We shared the Chicken Chili Relleno and the Tacos Carbon with Chicken. The food was very good, but what really got the 5 stars was the service. Very attentive and friendly. Sabrina did a great job and make good food a great evening. This is a really family friendly place with a lot of people talking and chatting. Perfect for a nice Saturday casual dinner. read more

I came here on a Tuesday for an event. We were seated at a long table in the middle of the restaurant. There were between 16-20 of us and we were definitely seated close together. It's a good thing we like each other! To be fair there was still enough space to each and chat without looking at your neighbor's tonsils every time they open their mouth. Overall it was a warm social atmosphere with Mexican themed décor and paint colors everywhere.   I ordered the taquitos. They were yummy and came with a side of beans and rice. The nachos and ranch dip....I could not get enough of them. I had to make myself stop eating them so I wouldn't lose my appetite for the main dish. By the way, the portions....huge! I had enough for lunch the next day. The service was good and we never had to wait long for water refills or nacho refills. In fact, I think we had so many nachos that our large party was not able to finish them all. When the checks came there were no discrepancies and they were done correctly the first time around. That alone deserves a whole star.   Parking was pretty packed but it didn't seem like anyone in our party had trouble finding a spot. Even if you had to drive down a couple rows before finding something, it wasn't too bad. The noise level is pretty high which is typical for any casual eating establishment. The bathrooms were clean as well. Although the drinks and dessert looked good, I'll have to try those on my next visit....and I will definitely be back! read more

Great service and atmosphere! I love their Chuychanga with Boom boom sauce! Get the creamy jalapeño dip for your chips! YUM!!

Reminds me of Texas. Haven't had it too many times but it's been pretty good. Service was great here.

We have been searching since we moved here for a good Mexican restaurant. Our search is over! Not only do the kids love the atmosphere, but the food is amazing. Growing up in New Mexico I have seen restaurants claiming hatch green Chile and they always fell short. After ordering the green Chile steak burrito my wife and I were shocked! It's like we stepped into a teleported back west. We had the added advantage of being here during happy hour and enjoying the epic nacho tailgate! Again we were shocked thinking this would be watered down super mild salsa... wrong again! Spice for days and flavor to match. My kids are already planning our next visit. read more

Always good. You can't go wrong with Chuy's. The food is hot and timely. Free chips with good dips.

Great Service! Thanks Aaron! The Car Nachos are the best! They have clean bathrooms too! We'll be back! read more

They've REALLY gone downhill on food quality and service post COVID. That said, their homemade chicken soup is to die for. read more

The taco salad had under cooked chicken and overcooked chicken all in one. Yuck! This place has rapidly gone downhill.

Decent Mexican. The Elvis Special is a lot of food and reasonably priced. Cute, informal atmosphere.

It felt like Taco Bell quality food. My kids liked it but my husband and I were just grateful it wasn't overly expensive. Waitress was nice but distant. read more

Went in on a Friday night and still got a table within 15 minutes. They kept the drinks full and the food was absolutely incredible. 10/10 would eat here again. read more

Chuy's - Chicka Chicks Enchiladas.... - Tex-Mex Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

This place is decent for a chain restaurant and I'm not a big fan of chain restaurants. I really like the flavor they have in their mexican food here, and I have been to a lot of low-high end mexican joints around the DMV. The service at this location is always great as well. They have tables outside and if you can stand eating outside of a mall in Alexandria in the Summer/early Fall it is pretty nice. The bar area is pretty cool serving up buckets of beer and there are plenty of big screen TV's. It is a bit pricey (probably because of inflation) but you get what you pay for. I'm going to give this spot 4 stars because I love the location and the service every time we go. read more

Always enjoy coming to Chuys. This location is phenomenal staff for great food is always fresh I've never had that service at this location

I LOVE Chuy's. I first got introduced to them in Nashville. When this one opened in Northern Virginia I was more than thrilled. The food is excellent. The chips and salsa are to die for. OMG, I just love this place! Even their way of doing 'to-go-orders' is great. You just pull up on the side of the building and they bring out your food. It's so easy! Chuy's is the BEST!!! read more

Good service and tasty, casual tex-mex offerings are reason enough to keep Chuy's on the short list of options on Route 50. Chuy's is a pretty standard, family friendly tex-mex establishment, offering burritos, fajitas, margaritas, and the like. Overall, the food is pretty solid, notably their house-made chips and totrillas. The fajitas and burritos are made with fresh, quality ingredients, though nothing is particularly spicy unless you add hot sauce. The margaritas are on the sweeter side, and fairly light on the alcohol. Those who really loves the frozen, otter-pop-like margaritas (like those served at Lauriol Plaza) will be happy, but I thought that the drinks, overall, were mostly corn syrup. Chuy's website proclaims that the drinks are all made with fresh lime juice, but to me, they sure didn't taste that way. At about $11/drink, I didn't think that they were a great value. The service here is friendly and fast. Around peak times, though, expect a wait. And Chuy's doesn't offer reservations or even a call-ahead option to get on the waiting list. So that's a major downside. I wouldn't come here on a Friday or Saturday night. Overall, though, I like the food and experience here. Chuy's ranks right up there with Guapo's as some of the best casual tex-mex around. read more

We came out to chuys for the first time in a while very excited as it was our go to spot every Friday night before the pandemic. We were seated and opened the menu and just about walked out. They did not have anything that we used to order. I get the reduced menu when the pandemic was raging but it is even smaller now than when the pandemic was crazy last year. No combos, no kids meal that includes tacos (at a Mexican restaurant are you kidding?) and I used to always get the Elvis Presley which is also gone. Prices way up and options way down. So sad that one of our favorite places will no longer be visited by us. Whoever is running the chain is going to run it into the ground if they keep this up. read more

In the words of a former California governor, I'll be back! The first time I was here was a few days ago for a party. The food was delicious that I wanted to come back as a regular customer and order food from the menu. Bottom line, it still was when I did. My daughter and I showed up on a Sunday afternoon, just at the tail end of lunch. The place was still pretty busy, but we had no trouble getting seated immediately. The chips and salsa were great. I liked that the chips were thin, allowing me a better salsa-to-chip ratio. However, it required a bit of care to shovel mounds of their delicious salsa into my mouth without breaking the chip. I could have used a spoon, but that would have been crass. We ordered their Queso to go along with the salsa, my daughter had the Chicken nuggets kids meal, and I had a bowl of their "famous" tortilla soup. For dessert we shared a piece of their Tres Leche cake. The (only slightly) low point was the Queso as it was a tad watery for my taste. When I mentioned it to the (outstanding) waitress, she brought me a fresh batch (without me asking for it). The second batch was just as watery as the first, and it was a nice thought none the less. The Chicken nuggets were anything but. They were large pieces of real chicken covered in a crunchy coating. It's worth mentioning something I learned in chatting with the staff. They do have a freezer, and it holds two things, french fries for the kid's meals and ice cream. Everything else is made fresh. It was obvious these chicken strips WERE made fresh, and they tasted delicious. My two bellwether dishes for a Mexican restaurant are Tortilla soup and Margaritas. Given the time and my passenger I skipped the drink. The soup was fantastic. A bowl of it is easily a meal and a delicious meal at that. It was chock full of fresh ingreadents and my only suggestion, which I will make when I'm back and ordering it again, would be to add more cheese. The most outstanding part of the meal was the desert. I don't normally like Tres Leche cake, but it was so good at the party I wanted my daughter to have some. It turns out, a single piece of the cake, drenched in sauce and caramel and covered in strawberries, is enough for two and maybe more. read more

Chuy's started out in Austin back in '82, serving up Tex-Mex cuisine in a really fun environment. I have to admit, I totally LOVED LOVED LOVED the decor of the place - all by the designer Jose Cuervo, I dug the ceiling filled with hubcaps, colorful wooden fishies, the dog painted on the restroom doors, and the bronze 'taco' knob at the front entrance. The menu had a variety of options - appetizers, salads, soups, burritos/tacos/enchiladas/fajitas, combinations, specialties, daily specials, kids options, as well as their signature beverages. Our server, David W. WAS SOOO AWESOMEEE!!! He found out that it was our first time there, so he came out with a tray of all of their sauces to sample (the Ranchero, Tomatillo, Deluxe Tomatillo, Tex-Mex, Boom-Boom, Green Chile, Hatch Green Chile, Queso (crack!), and Creamy Jalapeno (crack!)). Basket of freshly-made, crispy thin tortilla chips (seasoned great with the salt, these were definitely 'fragile' - however, we were fans, as it meant more focus on the sauce with a nice crispy addition!) was bottomless (!!!). For our meal, the hubs had a Tortilla Soup (chicken broth with hand-pulled chicken, avocado (yes! there were slices of avocado!), roasted corn, green chiles, tomatoes, cilantro, topped with cheese and tortilla strips) and the Steak Fajitas (marinated in their blend of Shiner Bock beer, Serrano peppers, lime juice, and spices; comes with grilled onions and peppers, handmade flour tortillas, lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, pico de gallo, Mexican rice, and refried beans; you can order 1 or 2-servings; the steak was pretty good, as they were juicy and had a nice taste to them; I absolutely loved the guacamole, as it was seasoned perfectly and so creamy!!!); I had the #4 'Relleno & Enchilada' (this came with your choice of the chile relleno/enchilada filling (I chose ground beef for the relleno, and just cheese for the enchilada) - that chile relleno was AWESOME! It was battered and fried, and it was so crispy and yummy!!! The cheese enchilada was pretty okay, too, as it was filled to the maximus with cheese - yum!); the refried beans, I was a fan, too (love refried beans), but these were really tasty! I also tried the charro beans, which was a little different; the beans were cooked perfectly, but these were a little watery/soupy for me; we also tried one of their daily specials, the Tacos Al Pastor (I thought these were just okay; the al pastor beef was a little dry, and I just wished there were chunks of pineapple within them). The tortillas themselves are definitely on the thicker end, which was slightly overwhelming. Definitely opt for the Green Chile Rice - it is sooo good! Definitely spicy, and I don't even have a high threshold for spiciness, but man, I couldn't stop eat this! I also loved the fact that you can swap out the sauces on any of your entrees, so if you prefer another type of sauce, just let your server know, as they are all about customizing :D I really enjoyed the Queso (so cheesy and delicious) and the Creamy Jalapeno (great with the chips). The manager was going around, greeting people, which was pretty cool - we had a great time here, as the vibe was cool and all the staff were oh-so-friendly! When I get that Tex-Mex craving, we'll definitely hit up Chuy's! :D +bottomless tortilla chips (crispy!) +Queso dip (!!!) +Guacamole (!!!) +Creamy Jalapeno (!) +Chile Relleno (!!!) +Steak Fajitas +refried beans +Green Chile Rice +ask for David W. :D :D :D +fun environment! read more

A friend convinced me to check this one out, and it was filled with highs and lows. The high point of Chuys was the service, as everyone was friendly and accommodating. The Chuy crew seemed like a lot of fun, delivering a great happy hour vibe. Equally cool was the Chuy decor; with loads of wooden fish hanging overhead, you know you're in a place that doesn't take itself too seriously. What I do wish that they took a little more seriously is the food. I ordered the Elvis plate with just about every enchilada under the sun, but I soon discovered that they baked their corn tortillas rather than running through the deep fryer to soften them up. This made for a dry and disappointing enchilada, but the beans and rice were pretty good. I would return to Chuy's for happy hour, but I'd stick with a soft shell taco here. read more

For starters, I'm a huge fan of Elvis, so when I was checking out the Chuy's website and learned that they have an Elvis shrine I was in love. The fact that it's Mexican food is just a cherry on top. I came in for lunch with a friend and the wait was zippy, despite the fact that the place seemed pretty busy. We were offered a table in the middle, but my friend requested a booth and they had no issue with that. One minor complaint here is that the table we had was crooked which was a little surprising considering the place just opened. Our server was very nice and she did a great job the whole time. We were slow to order because we were chatting so much and yet she was patient with us the whole time. They bring you the typically chips and salsa which were good, but not the best I've ever had. A friend told me they have a special creamy jalapeño sauce that they will bring out for free upon request. It was super yummy if you like spicy. We tried the queso which was pretty good too. For my meal I ordered the Elvis Presley Memorial Combo and my friend ordered the Chuy's Lite combo. My combo, while huge, was very delicious and probably not meant for lunch. It consists of 3 different enchiladas, rice, beans, a side taco and wings which are large tortilla chips laced with queso. The presentation is well done and like said its filling. My friend said she enjoyed the taco lite. We also enjoyed the Tres Leches and it was dynamite. Share it like we did because it is very large. I was very satisfied with the decor which had a great upbeat feel. The Elvis shrine was cool but kinda of a let down since it's awkwardly right next to the hostess stand. They have a few odds and ends to clear up but altogether it was a solid experience and I look forward to going back. *This business is gun carry friendly. read more

I'm a Texan who's eaten at multiple Chuy's locations in both the Austin and Houston areas, and I was very happy to find that this location is just as good if not better than any Chuy's in Texas. Everything from the atmosphere to the menu choices to the food itself is exactly the way they do it down there, and it makes for some great TexMex dishes. First, the chips were thin, crispy, and hot. The salsa is less like a sauce and more similar to pico de gallo - lots of great flavors. They also have a creamy jalapeño sauce that great on the chips - just ask for some if they don't bring it out at first. For a drink, I had a New Mexican Martini - it's infused with green chiles, served in a shaker, and comes with a couple jalapeño-stuffed olives. I would highly recommend ordering one if you've never tried this before. I ordered a chile relleno and enchilada combo for an entree. My beef relleno with ranchero sauce was crispy and savory. The sauce on the chica chica boom boom (chicken) enchilada was excellent - love me some green chiles, tomatillos, and cilantro. The rice was also good as were the charro beans. Our server, Antonio, was excellent. We never had to ask for anything - stuff (more water, chips, salsa, etc) just appeared as we needed it at the table. Also, the order I just described above requires him and the kitchen to get 4 specific requests correct on the plate - and they all came out right the first time. The atmosphere is fun, colorful, and eccentric with hubcaps on the ceiling and lots of random decorations around. It's definitely family friendly (I suppose a requirement in Fairfax) and there's a glassed-off homemade tortilla area where you can watch them make the tortillas in front of you. There's also a bar area off to the side where you can get a drink if there's a wait. There's plenty of parking, so that's cool. My one regret is that it's far out in the 'burbs and not metro accessible. If you're on the fence about going because of where it is, I promise you, it's worth the drive. I had a great experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for some great Tex-Mex food. read more

Update, for any One Direction fans out there (anybody?!?!?!) our waiter looked exactly like Harry Styles.

I like Chuy's down in Texas but something seems to have been lost in translation this far North. However, after our extraordinarily early morning flight for work, my coworkers and I kind of just stopped at the first place we found that was near the office we were heading to. We recognized Chuy's, so it was the choice. Unfortunately, this location has very slow service, our waiter didn't know the menu, and we all spent most of the meal trying to flag someone down to refill our drinks. My coworker's dinner came out with the wrong sauce on top, my other coworker just said hers had no flavor, and mine was made wrong the first time and had to be remade, but because our waiter kept disappearing I didn't get mine until about 10-15 mins after my coworkers got theirs. Fortunately, the chips are free and they were able to tide me over until I could get my own mediocre meal. We were glad we weren't starving anymore, but that was pretty much the only comment in the positive column as we were leaving. read more

First time I've been here, although I guess they have been open since 2014. There used to be a Chili's in this location. When I first saw the name, I thought it said Chevy's, another Mexican chain. Finally realized it was Chuy's! Walking in, you are immediately confronted with lots of bright colors, many, many tchotchkes and a fun vibe that is almost trying a little too hard. But never mind that, the place was packed! even though it was fairly early for dinner at 5:30 p.m. We were lucky to get a seat without a wait. About fifteen minutes after we arrived, the wait for a table started and only got worse as time went on. If you haven't already figured it out, this is your usual Tex-Mex fare. It's a casual atmosphere, but the food was good. I would say not quite as good as my number one favorite, Guapo's, but a close second. Our server was attentive and a nice guy. My drink was cold and delicious. What more could I want from a Tex-Mex chain? read more

Chuy's - Interesting stuff to look at! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I've been waiting for a good Mexican restaurant to open up near my house and Chuy's definitely answers the mail. When you pull up, you know right away that you're at a good Mexican restaurant that isn't over the top, but good, quality food. Right as you walk into the restaurant, you see workers hand making tortillas which is always a good sign. They start you off with chips, salsa, and ranch dip. I was a bit skeptical about the ranch, but it's actually really good with the tortilla chips. The menu is fairly big, as with any good Mexican restaurant, but that just means you have lots of good choices. Also, if you want to try a certain meat or something, they will bring it out in a little dish for you prior to ordering which is nice. We've been here twice and both times have had the same waiter. The first visit he was very attentive and on top of his game. I felt like our drinks were never empty and he brought us what we needed before asking. As for our second visit, we felt pretty neglected, which becomes even more frustrating when you see him taking care of other tables. We ordered drinks and when we finished our first round he never asked if we wanted another drink. He didn't come to fill up our chips and salsa. He didn't ask if we enjoyed our food. And he brought our checks before even asking if we were finished and wanted dessert or something else. Since he was good during our first visit, I'll let this slide as if he was just having an off night, but the service definitely needs to step up because I won't continue to go to a restaurant if the service is bad. On to the food.....very tasted and fresh. My husband got the fajitas both times and loved them. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly and the homemade tortillas really make a difference. Our first visit I went for a combo platter of a taco and enchilada an loved it, although it was a lot of food. This last visit I had the chicken flautas and they were pretty good. I wish the chicken mixture on the inside had a bit more flavor to it. This is a place that we'll plan to go to a lot to get our Mexican food fix. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in the area!! (This is kind of a lame review, because I always get the same thing-Obsessed with their chicka chicka boom boom enchiladas!!) The sauce they put on it is so good, if i could, i'd have it on everything. it's spicy, but also flavorful ( I feel like a lot of spicy foods lack actual taste.) Their jalepeno ranch dip is super yummy. Their quesadillas are pretty good, and their margaritas are delicious. Happy hour is great here, so take advantage of it. They also have a frequent customer card where you eat 5 times, you get an entree on the house! read more

A second option for solid Tex-Mex food in Fairfax? Especially one that doesn't involve Fairfax Corner's lack of parking? Heck yes!!!! A few months back one of my girlfriend's, who is originally from Texas, told me about a well loved chain called Chuy's that was due to open up in our area. Judging by how excited she was about it, I was very eager to try it when it finally opened up! We waited for a couple of weeks, hoping the hype would die down (fyi: it hasn't), and finally decided to try them at an off time so we didn't have to wait for a table. However, even at 4pm on a Saturday this place is a zoo! We were seated quickly and taken to the palm tree room. Immediately I was impressed with the decor: what a fun, vibrant place! We decided to split the ap sampler and (rookie mistake) still attempted to eat a real meal afterwords. Holy burrito, they give you a LOT of food! The sauces they make in house are fresh and tasty, the chips and salsa are plentiful and filling and then there is the queso.... YUM! I wasn't a huge fan of the Strawberry Marg, but am eager to try the Texas Martini next go round. Can't wait for the Springfield one to open! read more

Specific to the Tex-Mex realm, I chose the Beef Ranchero enchilada: How was it? Flat! Not much better than a frozen entrée you heat in the microwave. Will there be a next time? Considering Chuys has six other sauces to try, I won't let one okay meal prevent me from trying this place out again. read more

Chuy's - Beef Ranchero enchilada with rice and beans - Tex-Mex Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I love their food. Was introduced to Chuy's in Austin, TX, so was familiar with the brand when this restaurant opened in Northern Virginia. Love their chips and salsa while waiting for the meal to arrive. I also love their chicken tortilla soup. Has a great taste and flavor to it. The soup, chips and salsa, you could be ready for dessert, but we had ordered full meals and took more than half home. Portions are very filling and rarely is there ever room for dessert. Love their drinks and drink selections. Staff/waiters are good and can really help you decide between menu items if you aren't sure what to order. Have only been there weeknights and later in the evening 8 pm or later, so never a wait for a table. I imagine weekends are more crowded and potential waiting times for the evening dinner crowds. Overall a good place to eat and better mexican than most places in the area. read more

I'm tired of Chevy's and was looking for a new tex mex joint. After doing some yelp homework, I found this joint. This place was super busy on a Sunday afternoon, which is always a good sign. From the outside, it looks like a typical Tex Mex joint, and from the inside, it looks like the Sanford and Son Salvage shop, but with a lot more bright paint colors. The bar area is a visual spectacle also. The booths are kind of snug and there are many moving pieces in this operation...from the Latinas making tortillas behind the window, to the bus people, to the servers, and of course to the two hosts hugging on each other in the front. Once seated, you get the nachos and salsa. The nachos are super thin, crispy, and hot. The salsa is heavy on the lime juice, but it's good. The drinks are super pricy. I got the Swirl and Dot margarita and it was $6.95. The drink was pretty good, although small, and came in a super heavy goblet. Overall, the food was pretty good and tasted fresh. The utensils came in a bag that noted the utensils were sanitized. I enjoyed the queso with guac and meat the most. I'll come back next time to check out the HH specials between 4-7 on weekdays. No specials otherwise. read more

Came here looking for a non-fast food alternative. We didnt have a reservation but were seated almost immediately (thursday evening). As soon as we were seated (party of 5) our AMAZING server asked us for our drink orders. And then came the light/thin/crispy/warm CHIPS and IMO the best type of salsa - roughly minced, balanced flavors, not too salty, fresh tasting, cold and not too watery - towering over the bowl. But OMG, they gave us this ranch like white sauce... so amazing it had a little heat but we exhilarated the flavors by mixing the salsa with the white sauce. You must try it and add it to anything else you order. For the kids, we ordered from the kids menu - it is a big portion woth rice and beans (my personal fav was the crispy taco because my kids like more than cheese in their meal! And a great surprise treat for the kiddos was the PUSH POP ICE CREAM! I ordered my go to beef relleno (fried with a light crispy batter) and my husband got a beef burrito meal. Everything was so good and the portion was perfect! But the best thing from this experience was our server, Gina S. She was on top of her game. Super attentive, kept the chips, salsa, white sauce, water, and napkins coming without being asked. Its been a while since we've gotten great service. GINA S. definitely made our dinner experince extra special and amazing. We ledt happy with nothing bad to say about this place. read more

Deeeeelightful Tex Mex food! We first went to the Chuys in Springfield Mall and realized there was one about 10 minutes away from us in Fairfax. Go figure! It's located where Chili's use to be off of Lee Highway right before Walmart and Big Lots. A lot of parking though, which is great. This place does get pretty busy. I've gone all different times here and it gets busy around 630/7 on a weekend. Everyone here is friendly. On one side of the restaurant is the bar area and the other is family dining. I heard HH is pretty good here too but haven't had the chance to go yet. They have a nacho bar with a variety of salsas, queso and warm chips for free I believe. I will have to say you must try the creamy jalapeño dip here, just ask for it when they give you your chips and salsa. You will be hooked and will put that ish on everything. I actually ask for some small to go cups and pour that sauce in there. Crack sauce. They make tortillas fresh here, you can watch them make it through the window! I also love how the chips are always warm. The best kind of chips. And the salsa is always fresh and cold. -Burritos are huge and they are filled with a lot of meat, veggies, rice and beans. It's a bit bigger than a chipotle size burrito. Can barely eat half of it! My favorite is the steak burrito. -Elvis Platter is a good choice if you want to try a little bit of everything. Three different types of enchiladas, beef taco, Mexican rice and queso on the side. Yum! The taco is my favorite, the beef is flavorful. The different sauces on all 3 enchilada are fun and I love that they are all different but compliment each other. -Chicken Tortilla Soup, not a fan of. The soup is too runny for my liking, I wish the consistency was a bit thicker. Also all the cheese is on the bottom so unless you know that you're going to be like why the hell is there so much cheese on the bottom. -Fajitas are delicious. Steak and chicken is the best of both worlds. The soft flour tortillas stuffed with steak, rice, beans and sour cream. Always flavorful steak and chicken. -As far as drinks go, I've only tried the margaritas which are only $6 bucks! Good amount of alcohol for both the frozen and on the rocks drinks. Yum! As for service, they are really awesome here and accommodating, especially when I ask for more creamy jalapeño sauce every 15 minutes. I've never had a problem here with service or food so let's hope they stay this way!! read more

Thrilled to have a Chuy's nearby! It was a favorite during my years down south, and this area is ripe for some new offerings in American-Mexican cuisine. We dined on a Saturday evening, arriving with our kiddo early at 5 p.m. and finding a nearly full restaurant already. A good sign! Chips and their unique chunky and creamy salsa hit our table quickly and we dove in. Husband enjoyed a nice mojito. No draft beer on tap - just bottles. We skipped appetizers and headed right toward entrees. I had combo #2 - the Elvis Presley Memorial Combo w/ an enchilada trio (cheese, beef, chicken), a beef taco, rice and beans ($13) -- a huge plate I gladly shared! Husband had a trio of beef tacos w/ rice and beans ($10). He got the green chile rice in lieu of traditional Mexican rice, along with charro beans. Our kiddo has a great meal - 2 cheese quesadillas w/ rice and beans (ask for this in lieu of fries), plus a milk ($5). Service was fast, friendly and attentive. It's a casual place and certainly family-friendly. Advice: try not to be seated in the little room straight ahead of the front door. There's not much of a block to the cold air coming in, so we were a bit chilly at the start, until the heat kicked in. The place was packed when we left at 6 p.m., with lots waiting for a table. Noticed that they have curbside carryout -- a plus for picking up dinner on the way home. read more
