well...for a chain I was quite surprised. Came here the other day with a customer, per his suggestion and left quite full and happy. The service was excellent and the food was equally matched. Solid Chips and salsa, with this creamy jalepeno dip stuff...not sure what it was to be honest but I was good. My Enchiladas made with this slow-roasted adobe beef were excellent as well. Glad we ate early and I'm glad I didn't finish my plate...made it through the rest of day without having to nap... read more

My family and I love the laidback feel of Chuys. Every time we come we have wonderful service, awesome margaritas, and good food. Tonight our server Cyrus was exceptional! Attentive service without being annoying. This is a wonderful place to kick back, have a drink and enjoy the weather on their nice airy patio. Will continue enjoying this location. read more

The Churros are really good and crunchy. The ground beef has more onions and peppers than beef. I do not recommend the ground beef!

Who doesn't love Chuy's? It is really good and affordable tex mex. I love that the tortilla are made fresh. The boom boom sauce and jalapeño ranch sauce is drinkable good. I could not believe that my husband and I ordered fajitas for two and added shrimp...we walked out spending less than we spend on fajitas for one. Go Chuy's! Not the best fajitas, but still very solid. read more

Not very good. Seasoned beef in enchiladas not seasoned. My wife's burrito average. read more

The food is always good. The waiters are always very attentive to your needs. The atmosphere is light and friendly. I love the way that the restaurant is decorated. Tonight , I ordered the Panchos Nachos. Very Very Good!!! read more

Chuy's - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Chuy's is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants to go to. However, this location could use just tad amount of work. It isn't terrible, but it took ages for the waiter to bring us the jalapeno ranch that I had asked for. We finally got our food....and it was as if there was less food on my plate than usual, even though I have ordered the same dish multiple times (#8 Lite Plate) and it is always a good amount. Then we realize we don't have any silverware... The food was delicious though!! Still love them!! read more

I've been going to this particular location for years. I met a co-worker there for lunch because he loves it. I'm not a huge Mexican food fan at most restaurants. The food and service are always ok but for me personally it's just too heavy. I always leave feeling overstuffed. I had the 2 beef enchilada meal with side of beans and rice. Again, the food is not bad and the atmosphere is pretty lively, and the waitstaff is great. If you're a fan of Mexican food you will probably enjoy it. It just makes it too hard for me to move around after I eat there. All that being said, at some point i will go back there to eat again...Lol....Life is short...Get in....Get out....Enjoy.. read more

Salsa was brought out immediately by our lovely waitress, Briana A. who gave us first class service with a smile! My soda never hit the bottom of the big cup before she brought out a fresh one - awesome job, Briana! We missed you guys at Chuy's! We tried next door at Mamacita's and it was a total disaster a few weeks ago! We had the Comida Deluxe and the Elvis Memorial Special and they were perfect! Hot, fresh and full of flavor. We'll never stray far from Chuy's again! read more

Well I hadn't been here since the month it was built and honestly I didn't miss anything about it. I ended up here because I was off and was looking for a good happy hour. I remembered they had a decent bar design so I figured...why not. I was very pleased on that decision and I must admit most of the credit goes to the friendliness and personality of the bartender. (I sat at the bar.) Jamie provided a pleasant experience during my happy hour visit here. Although I wasn't hungry, I figured since I'm here I may as well do some taste testing. The Fajitas aren't the best...but it's okay for Tex mex. It's really hard for me to rate them on the beef because it has an authentic grill flavor. My experience says its pink slim but my tongue says it's just really good tex mex. So I will stick with that and let you be the judge. Rare that I will let that slide but given that this is a known Tex-Mex spot and not authentic, Im giving this spot a break on this go round since they did change the beef since I was there last. Now if you are a whiskey fan...order my invented favorite. The Jacked Up Rita from Jamie. It's a Margarita made with their house Rita mix and Jack Daniels...Bad Ass! Happy hour is from like 4 to 7 and they give you free queso, salsa and taco meat. Free Food...I'm in. Eat Free and Prosper read more

I don't think this location has the charm of it's Elvis-ridden brother over on Westheimer. That makes it just a tex-mex restaurant. It's the same menu from what I could perceive. I feel like you have to be picky about their menu, because you can easily be stuck with a dud plate. My mom had the veggie enchiladas. I think they think that being vegetarian means you don't like your food to have flavor. Yeesh. 'Twas bad. Their queso is one of my favorites in Tex-Mex land though. Especially when they hit it hard with green chili. read more

Chuy's @290 has been a go to restaurant for our family most recently. Often they are busy and a little short handed with staff but will still receive friendly, attentive service. Enchilada chicken boom boom and the tres leches are my personal favorites. Additionally we enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant. read more

We had a group of 13 on a Tuesday night. We called 30 mins before to give them a heads up, since they don't take reservations. The wait was about 30 mins and the waiting area was packed full of people. Since it was so busy, it took a long time for us to get our drinks and an even longer time to get out food and second round of drinks. The salsa, white sauce, and chips are served right away, probably to distract people from the wait for drinks and their orders. The white sauce tastes like ranch, but the salsa is quite good. I ordered the Elvis fried chicken, which is covered in potato chips and served with a spicy sauce and cheese melted on top. It's good but nothing mind blowing that I need to try again. Everyone else had the same experience where their food was ok but not great. The Texas Martini was also a little disappointing - it's supposed to be a margarita made with a jalapeño infused tequila, garnished with jalapeño stuffed olives but it really just tasted like a regular margarita. My friend didn't even get the olives with his order, which was crummy. Our server was perky and energetic. She had everything we needed preset and in place before our food arrived. Considering she had a busy section, she did an awesome job. read more

I really like Chuy's, and although I am not into Mexican food, if I am ever to eat any this is one of the restaurants I'd visit. The website says: "If you've been to one Chuy's, you've been to one Chuy's." I've only been to two. The one in Upper Kirby and now this one. They truly are different. The one in Upper Kirby has an 80's feel to it. Very Americanized with pictures on the walls and glittery stuff around the restaurant. This one is more of a tropical feel. There are a few coconut trees in the middle. Don't worry about a coconut landing on your head, the trees are not real (haha! ). There are a million paintings on the wall, if not for the loud noise.. one could think it was someones(crazy looking) house. Service was good, we were a group of about 15-20 and the waiter tried to be prompt with our orders. I had two margaritas. The strawberry one was delicious, but the mango was a little bitter. I believe I had enchiladas and they were good. One note, this place is on 290E, in the same shopping center as Chilli's. It is really easy to miss if you don't already know it's there! read more

This is my new favorite Mexican place. The food was good and the service was great (on 2 occasions) They have specialty salsas that you can try, which kind of breaks up the monotony of the plain red salsa. The fajitas were good, as were the green enchiladas. Ole read more

Great empanadas, great drinks, and a cute/sweet (male) server. From when we sat down to the fresh salsa and jalapeno sauce for the chips. Everyones food was great!

Chuy's - Wednesday special - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Good as always. I had the beef relleno and chica chica boom boom enchilada combo. All of the flavors and textures were spot on - wouldn't change a thing. Chuy's is also one of the few places that makes pinto beans I like - they're particularly savory. I also had a New Mexican martini that had some excellent flavor combinations between the jalapeño and green chile infusions. The decor is colorful and there's a good amount of seating both inside and out, so even on a busy Friday night, we didn't have to wait too long for a table. There's also a good amount of parking so you will likely be able to find a space. I knocked a star off for the service. There were a couple times where it took a while for the table to get replenished on things like drinks and chips and salsa. Also, a couple of people at the table got their food considerably earlier than the other 4 - making it a little awkward. Also, they missed my beans when the rest of us were served, and I had to ask for it specifically. Overall a good experience and I would still recommend Chuy's to anyone. read more

Thank you for great food and great service! Five stars for Wade at lunch. Making work lunch fun & light hearted. Greatly appreciated!

Two words. Tres leches. Hands down the reason we come here. In my opinion the best in town. Past desserts they have a great menu with tons of weekly specials. And about the only place outside Colorado to find green chili sauce on a menu year round. Their salsa is very fresh tasting, and delicious. Their creamy jalapeño could be consumed via straw it's so good. The wait staff is always friendly, and you don't have a super long wait ever. I think the most I have waited was around 15 minutes. They have good drinks as well! But if you'd rather eat than drink your calories then you need to eat the tres leches. You won't regret it I promise you. read more

Looove the Cobb salad! Great service today and Bedo is amazing!! Super friendly and made lunch fun!

I've dined at Chuy's here at home & across the country, they're consistently great! My preference for my favorite Salsa is a fresh pico style sauce & A love of their creamy sauce, all with crispy chips. My number one item to order is their Bean & Cheese Burrito with Queso, refried Beans. No 2 is their Cheese Enchiladas with Queso. No3 is their Fajitas All Excellent! Drinks included! My only critique is they need a nice moist & firm Tamale. Nice ambiance, the service is slow to respond after initial contact, generally good on memory, half the time. Mostly Cordial. My gripes are Love gripes! I miss their Happy Hour Chips, Salsa, & Drinks! Best Salsa in Town. read more

Customer service sucked and had 8 workers look me in the face and ignore me when I clearly was trying to get there attention.

Always aiming to please! Good chips and salsa and you have to ask for jalapeño ranch! Tortillas are yummy! If you get a desert, get the Tres leches cake! read more

Chuy's - 3 milks cake (Tres leches) - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been eating at Chuy's (and Hula Hut) for 20+ years. Today, I'm moving on to another Tex-Mex place for a while. Chuy's food is great, and the customer service is (largely) great as well. The problem? Their apparent inability to handle web/phone orders. Two of my last three delivered orders have arrived with the food, plus a big bag of chips and....WHERE IS THE SALSA?!???!?! AND THE CREAMY JALAPENO???!??! Yep, 2 out of my last 3 Chuy's orders have included dry chips (and actually, dry rice and beans, since I usually pour creamy jalapeno over those). It's a simple part of the order, but pretty critical if you're going to include chips. I mean, it goes right on top, so how do you forget that?? Twice (at least). read more

When in doubt about which Mexican to choose while in Houston, invariably I choose Chuy's. I'm a sucker for chile rellenos and they really know how to do them. Tonight I actually chose Chuy's over a west TX favorite, Ruby tequilas for this very reason. Drove 10 minutes when I could have gone across the street...but I CRAVE these rellenos! Every location I've been in, the atmosphere varies slightly, but the quality of food is on par. If you haven't tried it yet, you should. read more

I could eat a whole jar of their creamy jalapeño ranch sauce! So GOOD! The service was good. We had a trainer and trainee taking care of us. Everything came out in a good amount of time. We came at 4pm on a Saturday which ended up being a perfect time cause there was no wait. But when we left, the place filled up quick! This location is in a very busy area so if you go during lunch or dinner during the prime time, expect a wait. read more

Chuy's is all about food and fun. From the eclectic (usually odd) artwork, to the fun t-shirts and rolling celebrations, Chuy's know how to embrace trying new things. They're food however, is all about Tex-Mex basics. You can't go wrong with the fajitas (get a mix of beef/chicken) and an ice cold margarita. You don't need to go fancy with the margarita, a 'house' style will do just fine. TOP PICK: Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom. The simplicity of cheese and hand pulled chicken pairs incredibly well with their "boom-boom" sauce. Go for green chile rice instead of the standard Mexican rice. Enjoy! read more

Came for lunch at 11:30 on a Thursday. It wasn't packed but we still were given a buzzer for a five minute wait. There were tons of empty tables so not sure what the buzzer and wait was about but they were making everyone wait a few minutes. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. I love the jalapeño ranch sauce and I think that's the only reason I come back. The food is just ok, tacos al carbon with beef was fine but nothing too exciting about it. read more

Love Chuy's for good ol Texas Mexican food. The chips & salsa are hard to beat, serving lightly crisped tortilla chips & salsa fresco, along with a little jalapeño ranch. It's easy to get full on just that alone. They have great daily specials and their service is always fast & friendly! This has been consistent with any location we've been at, but service here was particularly above average! Ordered the Cobb Salad today and couldn't finish all - it's a lot of food! Hard to not leave with a T-shirt here, they sell the cutest Chuy's apparel for about $10 a shirt. Absolutely recommend them for lunch, dinner, or just drinks!! read more

As busy as this place is right now, my drink was not empty and the food was good. I got the burrito and expected it to be a little soggy since it is soaked in your choice of sauce but it was not at all soggy. My server, Kiana was AMAZING. She was on point with service, but also acknowledged my 7 year old and help a conversation with him when he stopped her as she walked by. She made him feel important and I can't put into words how much I appreciate that, especially since I am trying to raise him to participate in society and treat everyone with respect. read more

Good Tex-Mex options and decent prices. Food quality is not at level with the other competitors but it's usually quick & convenient. The best 2 things are the creamy jalapeños dip, and tortilla soup, I love it. The Fajita's are very average. read more

This is my go to place when I can't make a decision about what or where to eat/ dine. I can truly say I've never been disappointed with my meal, my drinks have been pretty fair. I'm a spicy girl so I'm partial to the new mexican martinis. I like the fajitas they're usually flavorful. The boom boom sauce is like Franks hot sauce..I put that sh#t on everything!! The #5 is usually my order once tweaked with my specific changes.. can't go wrong! read more

I went for dinner here on Jan 10,2020, place was very busy . Extremely rude hostess. She pushed that I sit at the Bar and said "suit your self , wait time is 45 min to be seated " So not only that I was hungry but I couldn't spare 45 min to waste so I sat at the Bar. When at the Bar I was immediately given Alcohol menu which I turned down and asked for Food menu, female Bartender got one and just dropped it in front of me, rudely. I shortly after order Loaded chicken enchiladas. It took awhile for My food to arrive and on a very hot plate with my enchiladas warm and NOT hot . I was already fed up with bad and rude customer service and just was too tired to complain. Shortly after I ate my food I asked for my check. Another female bartender handed me my check and I gave her $20 bill to pay . She proceeded my payment right away and handed me a receipt that shows that customer paid with $50 bill and received $36.17 in change instead of $6.17 from paying with $20 for my order in amount $13.83 I asked the female bartender ( Sam ) for a correct receipt but she chose to preach to me in an argumentative tone that it does not matter what receipt say but I insisted to get correct receipt so she took fradulant receipt and left somewhere to print I guess or fix what she says was minor mistake , it took her longer to come back with new receipt than earlier to bring my food . When Sam returned once again she dropped the receipt in front of me . Whatever scams Chuy's restaurant , it's hostesses and bartenders are running in ther I don't want to be part of but since bartender Sam chose to include me into their scam by giving me fraudulent receipt I have a reason to believe that US Uncle Sam might be interested in my complaint. Bartender Sam refused to give back the first FRADULANT receipt but likely I took pictures of it before I gave it to her to correct it . I asked Sam bartender to speak to the restaurant Manager but she said that Aaron was not in and instead she offered that I speak to her supervisor. I refused to speak to her supervisor. I was told by another dissatisfied visitor that Hostess are trained and get bonus pay for every customer that they get sited at the Bar and if customer turns down to sit at the Bar pays in some way with vindictive rude service. I didn't beleive it until I was put through such vindictive bad customer service. read more

I dine at Chuy's often. More than a couple of times a month. I usually receive excellent service from the wait staff at Chuy's but TODAY - not so much. I had Crittle as a waitress today. Now, where do I start with this review of how terrible her service was? First off, she kept forgetting things that I asked her to bring me - she'd walk past me (a couple times), then she'd remember - oh yeah *snaps her fingers* I got that drink coming.. she did this more than once. She took some of my food to the back before I was done eating and totally discarded it. When I looked for it on the table (poof), it was gone. When I brought it to her attention, she again, snaps her fingers and says..I was so busy chatting that I just took it away - I'm sorry.. Then, I asked her for a take out box so I could box my food to go and she brings out '1' container. Mind you, I had enough food to fill 3 containers because of the meal I ordered. When I asked her to bring me 2 more containers, she reacted as if she didn't want to bring the containers to me. I had to firmly let her know that I needed 2 more containers and show her with hand motions that I wanted to pack certain things separately. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse with this waitress, she then takes an extra long time to bring me ANYTHING that I requested. She never asked if my Coca Cola which I'd drank completely - having nothing but ice in the glass, needed refilling. She never asked me if there was anything else I needed or if I was ok. I always had to flag her down for anything I needed and then I would have to wait long periods before she brought it to me. I will NOT ever sit with her again. I will request a different waitress. Today was a terrible experience. I would've picked another place to spend my money had I known I'd get the waitress from hell! Critter rendered POOR service and I could give her ZERO stars - I would. read more

This place has gone down. The waiter admitted seeing my friend and I trying to stabilize a wobbly table. I asked him why didn't he come help and he just laughed. We ordered an appetizer and a margarita. The waiter never came and asked how we were doing I tried to wave him down just to get napkins because apparently while I was in the bathroom he spilled my drink and didn't bother to clean it up. When they bought our food from the back ,everything was burnt we decided just to pay our bill and leave. The waiter was also too busy with the table next to us with a bunch of girls obviously were highly intoxicated. This place use to be a place where I could even bring my little boy service is bad food is bad bartender and Waiters are all new I don't know if they change management but they need to go back to what they used to be have fun clean and good food. read more
