It is a solid chain restaurant. The meals are large portions of comforting and tasty food and the margaritas are pretty standard. Their salsa is actually spicy, which is a great change of pace from most places in Fairfax, and it has a very upbeat and cheerful atmosphere. The only downside is that it is a little bit on the pricey side for a chain, as I spent $60 for two people with 2 entrees, 2 drinks, and the tip. Overall, though, I would go here again. read more

Quality of food wise, I'd say it's on par with the Springfield Chuy's. It's not the best Tex mex but it gets the job done. This is a restaurant I frequent with my girlfriends because we like the drinks and endless chips. The server was very sweet and attentive. Probably in reality, things might've taken a while but we were just enjoying each other's company and liked the easy going pace. My friend brought a framed picture of her dog and we got a free appetizer to share. We went with the quesadillas, which I'd say if you were to order this then I'd split it with 2 people not any more than that. We ordered a round of mojitos. I got the classic and my friends got the strawberry. I asked for mine to be less sweet because I think Chuy's drinks tend to be on the cloying side. I ordered the chiles rellenos with sirloin steak. I didn't really expect the steak to be ground, which was a turn off. The second visit I've had I wanted to order something lighter and got the Chicken combo from the "lite menu" which included a chicken chalupa and soft chicken taco. Nothing was light about this, the chalupa was a fried nacho covered in cheese and chicken, delicious, but not healthy. I was stuffed from the chips we had earlier so I skipped out on the soft taco. Overall, it's a fun atmosphere but not my favorite Tex mex. Check out their t shirts! They are adorable read more

Honestly I do not really love Chuy's because it's always so loud and packed and their chips and salsa are bland. But I am giving them four stars for their bomb nachos. Go with a friend, share the nachos for $8.99, and you'll have eaten the best nachos of your life for less than a McDonald's meal. You're welcome. The nachos are so good and filling you really don't even need an entree unless you want leftovers. They bake each chip with nacho toppings so you're not fighting to dip brittle chips into liquid cheese. All of the other things I've tried at Chuy's have just been average. You can get free queso if you're a Mason student. read more

We went there for Mother's Day. The atmosphere was pretty nice. The Sample platter was okay. Nothing special. My son got the chimichanga which was a let down. I got my big daddy burrito that was pretty good. My wife got the salad and grill chicken that she likes. Food and prices were pretty good. Service was excellent read more

I wasn't too big on TexMex cuisine before I had chuys and now I am a firm believer that TexMex is good for the soul. Let me tell you, if Mexican heaven exists, I would imagine it being similar to a Chuys. I came here on a Saturday evening for a bite to eat. The wait was about 45mins for a table but since it was me and my friend, we just sat ourselves at the bar. There's complimentary chips and salsa and you could help yourself with the chips if you sat the bar. Chips and salsa were pretty satisfying but it wasn't enough for my taste buds so we ordered queso and guacamole to go with it. As soon as my tastebuds hit the queso, I was in an immediate high that left me craving for more. THE QUESO IS SO GOOD. EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET IT. Moving on the the entree, I got the chuy changa with the boom boom sauce and it was MONEY. I've never had anything from Chuys that I didn't like. If you have room for dessert, get their tres leche cake. You might even get another to bring home because it's THAT good. read more

Chuy's - Chuychanga with boom boom sauce - Tex-Mex Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Over all the whole staff was very professional and kind. The food was good and the grandmas margarita was amazing. Nick was my waiter, he gave very good service and was very friendly. Definitely coming back soon read more

We love going to chuy's. Always deoendable. The food is good and the service is great. I like the big as yo face burritos and the chile relleno! Get the hatch green chile sauce to kick it up a notch. read more

We come here about once a week and have never been disappointed! The service is always awesome and the food just as good. Last night we had David and he was just about the best server we have ever had at any restaurant. He refilled chips and drinks constantly without us having to ask. He was on top of everything. It was NYE and he still had a great attitude despite having to work. Long story short, I love this location and David is awesome read more

Once again Chuys delivers! Just wish i coild have been on the soft opening list at Springfield! Food was again classic TexMex. Wait was down to 20 mins at 8:00 on a Saturday, which is quite short. Jason the AGM and Skylar the GM both have the Austin atitude down. Favorite on the menu? Combo #4 shirmp relleno and Southwest Chicken enchiladas, charros green chili rice and the Hatch sauce over it alll! Ask for the creamy jalapeno sauce for the chips! read more

If you want high quality Tex-Mex foods, this is the place to go. Food is delicious, service is above par, attendants pay attention to the patrons. They keep drink glasses full at all times. A lot of food for a very decent price. read more

Ask for Gina if you want superior service and a smile. 5 star food and good atmosphere ~ love this Chuy's the best!!

The quezo dip was pretty good! I love that they have free unlimited chips and salsa - definitely a plus for a snacked like myself! The food is pretty good tex-mex but man, the tres leches was "d bomb" it felt like I could eat a whole round of it! Definitely a must try, don't ever eat there without trying the tres leches! read more

The food is just as good as in Austin. Fajitas are always my go to and the creamy jalapeno dip/sauce is consistently yummy. The curbside to go situation needs to be fixed though--way too confusing for customers and employees alike. read more

This is one of those places you have to try. They have the paper thin chips and tasty salsa. Mexican food with actual flavor. Everything I have ordered has been great and diffetent. Alot of Mexican restaurants have gone so bland and almost everything tastes the same. Not this place. Highly recommend! read more

Illysa S. and I decided to go there Sunday night after the Skins/Titans game. We saw that there was a wait and we added our names to the list. What a great "problem" for a new restaurant to have! We were told it would be about 15 minutes, it ended up being somewhere around 20 minutes, but that absolutely wasn't an issue, it's a guesstimate, right? First observation, the waiting area is super busy and chaotic. Walking through this area that houses the host station is also the way to the bar and restrooms. There was a consistent string of servers trying to squeeze through here, which caused a lot of bumping into random people. While waiting, I thought I would make use of my idle time and headed to the restroom. Honestly, that irritated me more than I was prepared to deal with. The walking path between the bar and the tables was incredibly tight, and I was knocked into by bus boys and diners alike. When our pager went off, we were shown to our booth. Once we got there, the hostess quickly placed our menus down and went back to her stand. I am simply not exaggerating when I tell you there was four inches between the table and the booths seat. We couldn't sit down, it was so tight, that I actually had issues placing my purse on the seat because the table was so close. I am sorry, I am not paying to eat some place where I can't sit down. During our entire conversation, standing right night to us was the owner/manager - who ignored the whole thing. Literally, he was leaning against the pole that held our booth up. We stood there, unaddressed, until our server came to take our drink order. I asked him if there was a more appropriate place we could be seated, he happily led us to a new table. It was only then, that the owner/manager said "oh yes, that booth is extremely small and we have issues with it all the time." Interesting, thanks for attempting to seat us there. We were lead to another section of the restaurant that had small two top tables surrounding the perimeter of the room and the middle filled with round tables, and fake palm trees. We were immediately greeted by our new server whom you could tell was an enthusiastic member of the team. He suggested we try the "frozen blood orange margarita". The margarita was very good, it was sweet but not overly saccharine, and it had the unmistaken tartness of blood orange, it was overall a great choice. With our chips... I ordered the white sauce (not sure what it's called). I don't know what that stuff it, but it's like crack, the version here has a kick to it as well... I could put that stuff on everything. In addition to the crack sauce, our server suggested the "Queso Compuesto" which is queso topped with ground beef, Pico and guacamole. You mix it all together when it arrives and you get a little bite of all the yummy flavors with each chip... we also ordered the mixed fajitas, for two. A food runner brought out our queso literally a minute after we placed the order, which at first I thought was amazing, for as busy as they were, this was darn near impossible... HOWEVER, literally 2 minutes after our dip arrived, so did our fajitas. Our server actually walked past our table and was absolutely stunned to see our food there. Watching the sizzle of our fajitas die out as we attempted to shovel our queso in our mouths left dinner a little anti - climatic. The fajitas were okay. The steak was flavorless, the chicken, amazingly tender and juicy... peppers and onions - virtually nonexistent. The rice was phenomenal, the beans - blah. While I really appreciate that the tortillas were homemade, they are also terribly dry and taste exactly like what you think flour and water would taste like, so dry in fact that with each fajita we folded, the tortilla just cracked open and spilled the contents all over our plates. The service... excellent. The food... not terrible, would certainly like to go back and shoot for the experience I had with their catered event. The atmosphere... little to be desired. It is entirely too loud. The tables are too close together, so much so that it is impossible not to hear (and touch) everyone around you. I had servers carrying trays literally over top of my head because there isn't enough of a walk way for them to get from point A, to point B. People bumping into each other left and right, servers that were squeezing around corners to get to the guests seated in tables in the very back. This place was a little too much in the sensory overload department. When I go out to dine, I don't want a table of strangers almost in my lap and I certainly don't want that stranger's try of food hovering over my head. I know this place is new and is going to have some expected growing pains, hence the 3 stars. (Moved up from 2.5 stars because of the amazing white sauce, AND because of our rock star server). Both Illysa and I agreed we should wait a while, give them another shot, and adjust our stars accordingly. read more

No bueno. I don't know why this place has 4 stars. The food was not great the service was.

I judge a Mexican place based on their soup, and this place has great tortilla soup. They have some other cool menu items I can't wait to try. Everyone in my office raves about this place. I'll be going back. read more

First time here with a friend, we both ordered the "chicka chicka boom boom" enchiladas which were soooo good but surprisingly spicy. My friend who loves adding siracha and hot sauce to everything even admit it was spicy! We personally didn't mind because it was delicious especially with the beans! We also ordered a side of qucamole and queso and those were awesome, both were full of flavor. Our server Kelsey was attentive and really sweet! We plan on coming back more often. read more

As a native Austinite who has been to the original Chuy's, I was skeptical to try this Chuy's, when I moved to Fairfax for grad school. However, this location exceeded expectations. Everything was as it should be. Try the jalapeño ranch on your tortilla chips, and get the Elvis Presley Memorial Chicken. Always delicious! read more

I've been here several times now and each visit has been consistently pleasant. There always seems to be a line out the door, but most times we've been able to easily score a couple seats by the bar and avoid the wait. The bar area is decorated with lots of Chihuahua pictures and painted fish decor representing some of the local universities. The staff are friendly and always up for giving recommendations. They've even come to recognize us when we're there. My personal go-to's are the Baja fish tacos and the margaritas w/ the mini Coronitas or the Comida Deluxe combo if you like a little of everything. read more

Chuy's is Tex-Mex that Texans love. The chain is a Texas institution - in some towns, Chuy's is THE place to get queso, enchiladas, and margaritas. I was introduced to the chain in Houston a while ago and have been pleasantly surprised to see them expanding outside of the Lone Star State. Northern Virginia isn't too close to home, though, so it took a while to finally visit one of these new "local" locations. This Chuy's is true to the chain in decor - they've got the "busy tchotchke-filled restaurant" theme down pat, complete with their trademark room with a hubcap ceiling. My dining partner was also intrigued by the Escher-inspired floor tiles, which are probably dangerous when you're drunk. I only had one margarita (a delicious pomegranate one with a salt rim), so I didn't test his theory. The menu is pretty overwhelming at first, because everything sounds great. The place that Chuy's really shines is sauces - there's a whole menu flap dedicated to them, and many dishes let you pick which sauce(s) you want poured on top. In proper Tex-Mex fashion, plenty of these are unhealthy (and therefore delicious). Others are spicy (and therefore delicious). Take the "boom boom" sauce, for example, which is basically queso with chile peppers. DOUBLE DELICIOUS. The free chips are crispy and they're happy to refill them tableside from a giant scoop whenever you need more. The salsa is very fresh and spicy, but their chile con queso is a classic Chuy's starter and arrives nearly instantly after you order it. If you like queso, try it at least once. I'm a big fan of their chile rellenos, which are made with Anaheim peppers and therefore vastly superior than other chains' ones (usually made with Poblanos). The enchiladas are all tasty but I don't really recommend the ones with plain chicken inside - it can be dry and flavorless. Special shout-out to the tres leches cake - you probably won't have room for it after your epic meal, but get a serving to go. It's basically a huge piece of delicious cake, soaked in sweetened milk and topped with whipped cream and strawberries. Have half later that night and the other half for breakfast the next morning. Trust me. I still prefer "real" Mexican (or other Latin American cuisines) over Tex-Mex, but when you need a queso fix, check out Chuy's. Just watch out for the trippy floor. read more

Stopped by after running errands. Got seated in three minutes for 2. The group of six waited an extra five minutes. Chips and salsa before ordering. Salsa has a spice to it, but not too hot. I got the Elvis combo. Crack me up. Took maybe ten minutes for order to be served! Taco was a nice steak ground beef quality. The enchiladas were good. Beans and rice probably needed some cheese but were still good. Enjoy. We will be back. read more

In all honesty, I have no clue how I can give this place less than 4 stars. Went here for lunch with a friend on a weekday (I had a 2pm meeting nearby), and it was my friend's suggestion. What can I say? I'll never (and I mean never) say no to Tex-Mex. It's difficult to find a solid Tex-Mex spot in the DC area. For starters, I'll just say that the chips were light and tasted super fresh, but a little too crispy for me to love. I like a good, strong, hearty tortilla chip. But, it made me feel good to know these were being made fresh in-house. The place was packed for lunch at about 12:30 when we arrived! Seriously, I thought we were going to have a problem getting a table, and the place was quite big. I liked the decor here. Our service was excellent (by all the people who I interacted with: hostess, server, and another server who brought out our entrees). The creamy jalapeno dip here is quite good - my pregnant friend was worried about whether the dairy was pasteurized and our server found out for us...Turns out the ingredients of it are mayo and milk. I'd order it again...The salsa they provide with chips was tasty, too...it was pretty much just pico de gallo. My friend got the order of veggie fajitas (for one person) and they were massive and the selection of veggies looked good unlike at most places I get fajitas. The corn tortillas they supplied with those fajitas were super tasty, and tasted really fresh (I suspect bc they made them in-house and fresh (you could see the guy making them). I ordered the veggie combo, and I looooved the enchilada and sauce it came with...my friend did, too. Also, the chile relleno was the best I've had in recent years (and I've eaten lots of authentic Tex-Mex). I was super happy with the food. The only issue I had was that the rice was not vegetarian, and our server told us the queso was not either! :( That was probably the saddest part of all. Otherwise, I'll definitely be back here, and looking forward to tasting other things on the menu! read more

Sunday evening's visit was such a disaster, I don't think we will be going back there. First, a 15 minute wait became a 35 minute wait. That should have been a clear warning. While waiting, we see staff pull up in a private car and unload cases of under-ripe tomatoes into the kitchen. Interesting. Finally seated, in a tight room with music playing so loud, conversation is impossible, we are served chips and salsa. Chips are very thin and crispy but too salty. The salsa is sour and tasting of lime juice and garlic, tomatoes not so much. (I recognize the pale-colored tomatoes from the delivery) Waitress takes drink orders--make sure you ask for water or you won't get any. 1. Drinks arrive, all orders are wrong--3 margaritas were ordered, one house with no salt, and two top-shelf with orange liqueur (sorry, I don't remember the names). Delivered drinks were 3 house margaritas all with salt. Waited for waitress to appear, where is she? Finally see a man with a name tag, ask him to help (turns out he was ass't manager). He says he will take care of it. Finally we get our drinks about 10 minutes later, after all chips are eaten. Also, another person in our party ordered a soft drink--they were out of what she wanted. 2. Food orders were taken. I asked about the Boom-boom sauce, I was interested in the Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom--waitress said it was really HOT, so I steered clear of it. 3. We ordered 2 appetizers of Queso dip and guacamole--they never came. But in the meantime, the waitress tried to bring us more chips and salsa--I mean we already had three baskets of chips for four adults--what is going on here? 4. Conversation is pointless, the music is almost deafening. 5. Entrees come, delivered by people not the waitress. 1 of the 4 adult entrees is completely wrong. When the waitress finally shows up, she sees incapable of comprehending that she needs to whisk that away and bring the CORRECT meal! 6. My entree, Classic Chicken Enchiladas, was completely tasteless. The filling was some pulled chicken breast--no seasoning--nothing. The sauce had no flavor. My table-mate had asked for a dish of the Boom-Boom sauce and he shared it with me. It was not overly spicy hot and the addition of this to my enchiladas was the ONLY thing that made them edible. I mean, you could serve the Classic Chicken Enchiladas to people recovering from ulcers--that is how bland it is. 7. Ass't manager shows up AGAIN and says sorry for all the problems, he says he will bring us 3 complimentary deserts. We say, they will have to be to-go because the 18 month old is past her bedtime now. So now we have to wait for those. 8. A different girl--the take-out girl--brings us the deserts in a bag. We ask for the check--she says that is not her role, but she will find the waitress. She leaves and ends up coming back shortly with the check. 9. The CHECK IS WRONG. They are charging us for the 2 appetizers that never came AND they have an additional entrée on the bill. The entire bill for 4 adults and 1 baby is $110.00. My pregnant daughter gets up and tries to find the waitress. She ends up talking to the manager--we don't know what is going on with this bill, it is wrong, there have been so many things going wrong tonight--he ends up comping our dinner. 10. I am glad the manager comped our dinners because I have PTSD from the entire experience and my husband has a stomach ache from the food. read more

I normally don't write negative reviews and I won't encourage anybody NOT to come here. You can ready story and take my advice, or not. I went around 10:35pm and asked the hostess if I could still get food. She gladly showed me to the bar. I asked the bartenders if they would mind me ordering some food. I knew they were closing soon. I work in the restaurant business and have for decades so I know what closing times mean to those that have been working all day. The bartenders were very courteous. Okay. The food came out with excellent presentation. I ordered the Elvis combo. I didn't feel rushed, the guys were great, and the food was what I expected based on other yelpers reviews. No problem. And then I smelled the Clorox bleach. My eyes and nose started burning. The stench was awful and I could almost taste it. Yes. It was that bad. I didn't say anything because it wouldn't have changed the fact that the bleach was already on the floor. I KNOW restaurant employees want to get home. We all do. But, if you're going to start cleaning, you should do the light stuff first and save the chemical cleaning for when all the guests are gone. My $.02 These guys were great. I have no complaints about service, presentation, nor flavor. So, you should try this place out, but just don't go when they are about to close. I would give this place 4 stars, but took one away for the burning eyes and nose. As always, I encourage people to check places out for themselves. This place is worth it, but again, if you go late, bring mask or don't sit in the bar area. Peace. read more

I had to create a yelp just so I can give you guys 5 stars I liked it that much.. It was our first time here and to top off our great day we had an amazing server, molly was really nice and made good suggestions! The nacho car during happy hour is the best thing on the planet. I will definitely be spreading the word and you should def request her as your server, you go girl! read more

Update: I've been here two more times since my original review below and the music has been at a more restaurant appropriate level so I've changed my review to 5 stars. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive and the food continues to be superb!! Highly recommended. Great food and friendly staff! At first I thought this was another Chevy's but I'm so glad it isn't!! Chuy's is awesome! The chile con queso is superb, the salsa is fresh with a nice kick to it, and the chips are hot and fresh. I ordered the chicka-chicka boom-boom enchiladas and they were to die for, I actually thought for a moment I was in the southwest. I found Chuy's to be a little spicer than most Tex-Mex in the area which is a huge plus for me because I love spicy food. Only negatives were that it's only open until 11pm and it's REALLY loud. The music is so loud u feel like you're in a club not a restaurant. There was only one other table full when we came in just before closing but all we heard for the first 10 minutes was children screaming. I'm glad we stuck it out because the food was so good but damn people you're in a restaurant not a playground- control your children!!! Oh and they serve Coke not Pepsi! read more

Having lived in Texas, I was so excited when Chuy's popped up in my Yelp search for dinner while in Fairfax on business. We don't have them in VB so I decided to get my fix of Tex-mex; this location did not disappoint! I visited twice in one week...Love me some Chuy's! read more

Very solid Tex Mex option. Very excited to have this in Fairfax, considering the lack of good Mexican food options in the area. Great happy hour with free nachos. read more

We really like this place! The food is very very good - a bit spicier than most which is just fine! And the service has always been prompt and courteous - a shout out to Dakota for her particularly superlative service! This is not just another Tex- Mex place - come and try it - the food is noticeably better than so many others who call themselves Mexican restaurants. read more

I came here for the first time but it just doesn't cut it for me after trying authentic Mexican restaurants. They need more vegetarian options and their food needs to be less greasy. The restaurant was very clean and nice though. read more

My initial experiences here were not so great, but the awesome happy hour keeps me coming back. I especially love the margaritas with housemade mixer. The food has grown on me, although it is not the tex-mex style that I most love. Tortillas and sauces are fresh made which I like, and my go-to menu items are consistently good. The stacked enchiladas are my fave and the stuffed avocado is good too. We will continue to come here as there is not a better tex-mex restaurant in this zip code. read more

First let me say that Chuy's is my favorite Mexican restaurant but now I absolutely love them. Yesterday, was my daughter's 17th birthday and she wanted Chuy's but because of Covid-19 they were serving only limited items which didn't include her favorite. I called to see if they could possibly make it and they did!! Not only did they make it but when we came to pick it up they wished her a Happy Birthday and even wrote it on the box!! I can't thank the staff enough!! It really made my daughter's birthday a happy one. read more

Great Tex Mex restaurant in Fairfax. Good food at great prices. My favorite would have to be The Elvis Presley Memorial Combo, which is HUGE and consists of a Beef Tex-Mex, Cheese Ranchero, and Chicken Tomatillo enchiladas, ground sirloin crispy Taco and chips with chile con queso. And all the chips and salsa you can eat on top of that! Hoping to drop by one day for some happy hour margaritas and the Fully Loaded Nacho Car. read more

To all my Californian and Texan friends -- we have been living under an imposed terrible-Mexican-food-diet for years in this DC wasteland. Many "authentic" Mexican food restaurants have come and gone because we realized they were just a glorified Chevy's. Time and again, our Midwestern and East Coast friends tell us about an "awesome" Mexican restaurant they just discovered, only to find out that they have sent us to Uncle Julios, Tortilla Coast, or Lauriol Plaza. But CA and TX friends, OUR TIME HAS COME. Chuy's has arrived. read more

We just took a trip to Texas and ate Mexican food everyday. We were in Nirvana. We already knew that Chuys was opening here soon and, more importantly it was from Austin. We gave it a few days to get the kinks out and went early. It was excellent. Very tasty good sauces and not shy with the spice. In other words a keeper. read more

The food here is very good. This is real Tex-Mex even though it's a chain. I've been a few times and everything was nice. Great portions, solid service. -In-house made flour tortillas. This is basically non-existent on the east coast, and makes their tacos and tortilla based dishes something special. Real good stuff. -Queso - most places botch this because it's seemingly simple. Just melted cheese, right? There is a consistency and flavor/spice profile of good queso, and Chuy's has it. -Jalapeno Ranch - this is a Texas thing, and doesn't taste how you think. It's a specialty spiced ranch that is great here. Check it out. -Stacked Enchiladas - blue corn stacked enchiladas in green sauce were good, huge portion, freshly made. Not too heavy, which is how enchiladas should be. Chicken was a bit dry but it was a worthy dish overall. -Elvis platter was huge and decadent. Good and worth it. -The app. platter thing is a meal itself, and could probably stuff 2 people. -Chips n Salsa - chips are fresh, hot, and thin the way they should be. -Rice is really good. Fluffy with a red tomato touch. -Beans are really good and clearly homemade. Not too salty or greasy. -Décor keeps the Tex/SW restaurant theme. Seems kitsch, but its welcoming and they pull it off well. read more

We love Chuy's. This place is always delicious and the service is great. The food is consistently delicious and the salsa is the best around, there is noone even close. I recommend the Steak burrito with the tomatillo salsa. Its crazy good. Also for those cold nights I highly recommend the Chicken Tortilla Soup. This is the absolute BEST chicken tortilla soup I've had. Me and my wife go there as much as we can. We absolutely love it. The kids we see come through all appreciate being able to see them make their amazing tortillas in house. read more

Came here for TEX Mex style food and this place delivers. I wasn't hungry enough for fajitas, but sure would like to try them. I got the Elvis which is a combination platter of typical Mexican fare.. enchiladas, tacos etc., It was a generous portion. I even took some of it home. We were a party of 4 and a little snug, it was also opening weekend so there were alot of ppl checking the place out. Im not mad, the server was very attentive and always had a smile. I would def recommend this place to anyone with an appetite for TEX MEX. Looks like there is also an outdoor patio, but it was too chilly this particular night, Has a bar if you want to try one of their margarita drinks. Thanks and welcome to the neighborhood CHUY's !! read more

This is really a version of Chili's, albeit with slightly inferior service and blander food. We ate at the bar table, so maybe service would've been different in the main dining rooms. It was very crowded (and loud) and there was a long wait to get in, which is usually a good sign. But that wasn't the case for us. Mediocre food, distracted service, and the "signature sauces" we tried were all bland. If we want to go to a chain tex-mex next time will definitely go to Chili's or Chevy's or On The Border over returning to Chuy's. There are some great Mexican places in the Fairfax area that are definitely worth trying before going here. For photos and a detailed description of our dinner at Chuy's please go to out website on my profile. read more
