Yeah, everyone loves the Creamy Jalapeno - did you know that you can purchase it to go? They sell it in (I believe) 8, 16, and 32 ounce to-go containers. When I visit Houston, one of our first stops is always Chuy's, and we get a jar of this to-go, for veggie/chip dip for the next few days. Anyway, I have been going to Chuy's for over fifteen years, and let me say this - they are consistent. The menu isn't trendy... I usually get the chicken burrito w/ deluxe tomatillo sauce. I honestly don't think they have changed that dish in the last 15 years... that would annoy some people, but I like the consistency here. You know exactly what you're getting, and you know that it'll be on the menu next time you're back. The decor is definitely fun, and I've never had a bad experience with the servers. Food arrives quickly and correctly. I do prefer to stop in for lunch since, as others have noted, they get very, very busy during the dinner hour. If you show up on a Friday or Saturday night, expect an hour long wait. The bar is frustratingly small for the overall size of the restaurant, so yeah - you'll probably be waiting outside, which is no fun in the summer. read more

Love Love LOVE Chuy's! When I worked off Waugh Drive, if I didn't come here at least 2x week for lunch, something wasn't right! That jalapeño green salsa, *excuse me while I daydream* if only I could bottle it up, now that I'm not as close, and give it to a closer mexican restaurant so they could recreate it when I come. It's absolutely 100% light green creamy goodness in a bowl. Parking lot can be hell when that lunch crowd gets heavy so be warned! Don't get towed trying to park somewhere else. Unfortunately the restaurant is small and jam packed too :( I dream about that chicka chicka boom boom, that's my favorite! but I've tried a million and 52 things on that menu and haven't met a chuychanga that I didn't like yet! read more

If you ever get a chance to eat here, please do. We had the pleasure of having Dominique as our waitress and she was GREAT! She was so nice, she knew the menu and she was very helpful. Although she had gotten my order wrong, she noticed right away and had it corrected. I was more than happy with service and friendly staff at this location. Also, the BOOM BOOM sauce rocks!! read more

Chuy's - The ceiling of rims. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I am a big fan of Tex-Mex restaurants, and Chuy's is definitely one of my favorites! The food here is always very flavorful and tasty. As soon as you sit down, you are welcomed with fresh tortilla chips with two different salsas. The creamy jalapeno salsa here is absolutely amazing! I usually go for the fajitas or shrimp tacos when i go to Chuy's. The meats are always well seasoned and juicy. The shrimp tacos in particular are very well made and a perfect combination of flavors. The refried beans are also very creamy and tasty. Chuy's always provides great food and service. It is the ideal place for Tex-Mex in Houston! read more

such a snipe of a spot after school. food is pretty good. service is cool beans. place is pretty chill, mid tier aesthetics I recommend

Our server was very polite and did a fantastic job at catering to our needs on a very busy night. I believe his name was Eleazar and despite the rush, we weren't forgotten. We had margaritas (margarita day) and unfortunately the "blood orange" ran out by the time we got a table but the "blackberry" made up for it. It was very delicious but not too strong (sadly). The food wasn't too bad, your typical tex-mex dishes. The facility is actually very large (I had always thought it was a small area) and the parking is horrifying. The whole parking plaza specifies not to park here if you're going to Chuy's...thought that was pretty funny, but yes, good luck finding a parking spot! read more

Service was great but the food is not good. Period. Rice and beans were bland. Creamy jalapeño and salsa were good.

Came here to celebrate the end of a stressful semester with friends. We got a table on the patio and our server was attentive, a little too attentive for our taste. He bothered us with his jokes and it became an annoyance after awhile. STRAWBERRY MOJITO- bacardi dragon berry rum and fresh strawberries I really liked this drink because it wasn't too strong and it had a refreshing fruity sweetness. CHICKEN FLAUTAS- homemade corn tortillas filled with roasted chicken, rolled, fried and drizzled with smoky, red chipotle sauce, served with mexican rice and refried charro beans The flautas were crispy and really dry, the chicken didn't have much flavor, and the best thing about this dish was the refried beans. The beans were really flavorful and creamy. It had a meaty flavor and was nicely seasoned. This place is pretty casual and I might come back if I'm in a group of people, but I would never choose to come here myself. There are plenty of tex-mex places around town. read more

I had lunch with a few of my coworkers that frequent this place every Wednesday. Because they are regulars, their waiter knows their orders by heart. I must say "Raynard" provided excellent service. However, I was enthralled with the great conversations we were having that I forgot to take a picture of my entree. Darn it!!! I ordered the Wednesday special. This was a half order of chicken enchiladas. The enchilada included roasted hand pulled chicken, cheese with boom boom sauce, roasted green chiles, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro and lime juice. Yes, the enchilada was superb. I also replaced the rice and beans with a side salad. I was trying to be as healthy as possible or maybe just not as sluggish after this type of meal. As a courtesy, Raynard brought us some sopapilla!!!! OMG, this was so.......... good. This is a fried pastry/dough that was topped with honey. It was light, fluffy and just plain delicious. If you're ever at this particular Chuy's during lunch hours please ask for Raynard. Hats off to great service. Until next time!!! read more

This place was a very crowded for a Wednesday and it was stuffy feeling not very comfortable environment. Thankful for being with enjoyable group of coworkers because nothing else was good about this place. I think the 3 stars is for price, their prices are decent and portions are large. The flavor for Drinks and Food well thank goodness that I came here to celebrate with a consultant before she leaves our group because if it were for food & drinks this review would not be so great and the stars would be less heck they probably should be less because when you eat at Taco Cabana or Pappasitos often this place only has nice decor in comparison but didn't visit for the decor so I'm sure I won't be going back anytime soon and by the off chance there is another invite extended and it's at this place, I'll just try the complimentary chips and a water. Oh almost forgot to mention: the utensils,yep that's the word we should use for them because silverware..hmm, I'm not so sure they qualify for silver maybe more gray. they come in a sealed packet which indicates on one side These have been sanitized and on the other side a Blessing of the food in 3 versions Protestant, Catholic, Jewish... Umm hello WHY??!! So yeah I asked for to go utensils because not only did mine feel rough when I took them out of the protective package they looked awful and if you need to advertise that your utensils are sanitized in addition to prayers on the package I'm concerned (wait what about Christians, Non Believers or how about Baptist, Muslim ok I'll quit you get the point) Anyway you choose but I won't be back anytime soon. I like well drinks and flavored food read more

I have gone to this location for years and this time sealed my opinion. The service was the WORST ever tonight, manager really didn't have the urgency to fix a problem that is needed in this business. Only ordered nachos and fajitas and everyone around us got their food before us. I had to stop the manager, and asked if I needed to go make my own meal. Waiter acted like he had a full section, but he just couldn't get it together. We will mark this one off of the list to return to. Its a shame to think they are one step from just needing to close it down. read more

Chuy's is one of my favorite places for Tex-Mex locally. I've been many times. I wanted to patronize Chuy's during the city shutdown. I ordered combination fajitas and chips with salsa. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. Food tasted like it had been under a heat lamp all day. Steak was tough, inedible. Chicken was flavorless. Chips were hard. With all the businesses suffering right now, you'd think they'd work hard to knock it out of the park. But $25 later, this was easily the worst meal I've ever had at Chuy's. read more

With all the restaurants open now with full menus I am very disappointed in Chuys for not at least expanding their menu a little with some of old menu stuff. I keep coming back every now and then thinking surely they will have more this time. Nope. I've been going to Chuys for so long. I'm done. Too many other Tex Mex restaurants in the are with more selections. read more

I have been in love with Southwest Enchiladas for decades. With the pandemic Chuy's has cut back on the menu. Like many things in this world, Chuy's has dropped its eclectic menu for a menue for the masses, not the individuals. It's sad. Turns out that they will be only offering the mundane menu items for the rest of the year and then reevaluate I suppose based on who's buying the most. That's why I steer away from chains. They cater to the masses, vs a mom and pop or a more independent chain, like Chuy's used to be, that cater to good food. Alas, Chuy's has fallen into the quagmire of the mundane. read more

Chuys is usually where I choose to have my cheat meal. I love the queso! And the chicken flautas are my go to. The margaritas are really good too. read more

If you want inexpensive Mexican. This place! It is very busy and fun atmosphere for meeting friends. The food is good, the restaurant is very very casual. Good for people on budget! read more

Already not one of my preferred places to dine. The food is subpar and over-priced. I only go, because my SO likes it. First time, no chips and salsa. 2nd time, I placed an order for curbside pickup, followed the instructions, texted, and nobody showed. Though the sign mentions remaining in your car for safety, I had to relinquish that to walk-in to retrieve my order. Though this is the closest location to me, I'll go out of my way for better service. read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food this is not it. Coming from someone who loves to eat, and loves to cook THIS WAS MY BIGGEST REGRET. The food is 100% simple, bland, no real aroma or flavor just straight calories (shame). Our waitress was wearing an annoyed face every time we asked for something (napkins, hot sauce) oh wait.... THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE HOT SAUCE. wuuuuut? A Mexican place without hot sauce???? The closest thing she could offer was a spicy enchilada sauce and more jalapeños, which was pretty good. Anyway, not a good experience but I shall commence this post here because I think you get the point. read more

Chuy's - Fajitas: handmade tortilla reminded me of a pita bread type. Fresh ingredients. Beef and chicken combo was lacking flavor. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

How can you go wrong with Chuy's lol it's the greatest Tex-Mex place. This chain has it's own culture and atmosphere which I think can't be compared to other places so it becomes its own category of places to eat. If you're a vegetarian you can always find a few dishes that will be great options. Keep it up! read more

Great fajitas...hot and sizzling. The chikachika boom is delicious too. Friendly environment and staff is Attentive.

The staff was nice and welcoming! The jalapeño dip and quest dip with beef was amazing, however the other food we ordered was mediocre at best. We ordered quesadillas and the boom boom chicken enchiladas. The strawberry margarita had great flavor but we couldn't taste the alcohol. The atmosphere was great, but sadly overall the food wasn't. read more

I can definitely see why that have 3 stars! Honestly should be 2. Mediocre food and service. I was super excited about this place. Walking up my friends said Chicken Boom Boom!! I was ready!! I tried so hard to love it. I was so disappointed. So many better Tex-Mex restaurant than Chuys. First the table chips were stale and tasteless. I ordered the Chicken Boom Boom and they should rename Chicken Doom Doom. Special sauce on it was not so great. I've had better rice and beans at Taco Cabana. Friends had Cheese Enchilada...came with queso fresco in the middle. What?? Only good thing I can say is that prices were reasonable......I guess so you don't feel so bad that you spent to much. is low. Sorry Chuys but I won't be back read more

Always a good time at Chuys. It can get pretty busy during my peak hours so there can be a wait and parking can be an issue sometimes (self parking). Nice covered patio and lots of indoor seating. If you love enchiladas highly recommend the Chika Chika Boom Boom, my absolutely favorite. A little spicy but really good. All portions are a good size, so you get full. Price is average. Not my favorite margaritas but average. The green salsa that comes along with your chips is delicious. Nice place to come and relax. Nothing fancy here but that's the point. Waiters are always friendly and food comes out at a reasonable time. read more

Went for lunch with a group of friends from work. No wait for our table of 12! Wonderful service attentive to our needs. Frozen margaritas were delicious and since I couldn't decide which one the waitress brought samples of 2. Watermelon was amazing!!! Few vegetarian options but the quesadillas were all I needed they were so plentiful I took half the order home for dinner! Great sauces and the chips are fresh and warm. The Boom-Boom sauce is well worth the $1 add on. read more

I got the Elvis Pressley Fried Chicken with the Lay's chips breading - bomb - instant food coma. My brother got some deluxe chicken enchiladas with a la carte taco. White / green sauce always goes down. Major shout out to our server Simra. Velvet white glove service. Our food service was impeccable, drinks topped off regularly. We tipped her well and let the manager on duty there know how well we were taken care of. I hope she gets recognized for her great personality. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review before now. Alas, here we are and I'm ready to share with you how much I love Chuy's. The things that I find set it apart from the plethora of Mexican options in Houston are the ranch-esque dip served alongside the salsa and the hot, fresh, thin tortilla chips. I could eat my weight in the tortilla chips. The other thing that makes Chuy's stand out is their tortillas. These are not the run-of-the-mill store bought ones. These are homemade and fresh; a little thicker than what I think we are accustomed to find here (at least I think), but I've also only been south of the border a couple times so I haven't had ample opportunity to eat authentic Mexican cuisine. Moving on--the flavors are also right on point and the service has always been good. I'm sad to see some of the negative reviews because I haven't had those experiences, and I hope everyone can have as good of an experience/meal as I have had. 'Til next time, Chuy's. read more

Chuy's - Soft Chicken Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Excited to drive up, place order and go home with git delicious fajitas and frozen margaritas. We would have fared better at Taco Bell hot fresh food. The queso was the only warm item. The beef was not "chuy" it was like beef jerky. We did not eat it, nor did the dog. We feed her really good food. Thought ordering onsite would make a difference. Nope. Disappointing. Emocionado por conducir, hacer pedidos y volver a casa con deliciosas fajitas y margaritas congeladas. Nos hubiera ido mejor en comida fresca caliente de Taco Bell. El queso era el único artículo cálido. La carne no era "chuy", era como carne seca. No lo comimos, ni el perro. Le damos muy buena comida. Pensé que ordenar en el sitio haría una diferencia. No Decepcionante. read more

I came here with my fiancee on Friday night. First, parking was a pain (quite a large parking lot, but the restaurant was very busy so it took us a long time to find a spot), which was contrary to what Google told us - thanks Google. We were seated immediately, which was nice, since the restaurant WAS quite busy, and were served some chips with salsa / jalapeno ranch dip. The salsa wasn't great (the consistency was a little weird) and the jalapeno ranch dip was fine but not stellar. The restaurant doesn't have any beers on tap, so I ordered a bottle of Shiner - not a huge deal, really, but it's always nice when restaurants have stuff on tap. I ordered one of the combinations, and my fiancee ordered a different combination. The food came quite quickly, which was great, but it was PIPING hot, so we had to wait a while to eat. Everything tasted pretty bland and greasy, and it just wasn't that good. There are loads of better Tex-Mex restaurants in Houston, so I would definitely recommend going elsewhere. read more

went on a sunday with my dad and siblings for fathers day. our waiter was new and very kind.

This is standard Tex mex fair. The portions sizes are good, and prices are reasonable. I enjoyed my fish and shrimp tacos, but they were nothing to write home about. The highlight is definitely the jalapeño ranch. For what it is, it's good. Is it a must stop? No, not really. read more

Great happy hour! During happy hour, which is 3p-6p, they have $5 margaritas and $3 domestic beers. One of my favorite things about the happy hour is the free queso! They have an entire cart with queso, chips, salsas and ground beef. Queso can be expensive at restaurants, so to have unlimited queso! Good deal in my book. Service is hit or miss but besides that a solid 4 star experience. read more
