Chips and salsa are served..
Aurelia A.

This is like my 4th time here and each experience is different some good some bad. This day was good. Little to no wait, waiter was attentive, food came out hot and it was cooked very well. Plenty of parking, Bar area, new items on the menu, and the cost was reasonable. The boom boom sauce is a must even with the $2.00 upgrade on some menu items.

One of our "indecisive" go-to places. We always order the same thing. The Chuy Chonga and the Big as yo face burrito. The wife stepped out of the norm once and got enchiladas and they were decent also. With the Boom Boom sauce.. customer service is always good.

Chips, Jalapeño Cilantro dip, salsa 4/5 & Strait Rita 5/5
Jose L.

Visited on a Sunday, it wasn't too busy. There is outside seating available but be sure to check with host/hostess. Upon walking in was greeted and asked number of party, it was only me so quickly sat in the bar area. Upon sitting, bartender came and brought menu & chips, the infamous Chuy's Jalapeño cilantro dip and salsa. Chips break easy & were bit warm, but also have some hard pieces, think I got more small broken pieces than regular chips. I ordered according to the drink menu, The Strait Skinny, basically a skinny Rita. It was refreshing and well balanced & mixed. Tequila didn't overpower the drink. My actual waiter, Keaton, came around a bit after the bartender asked my drink order. He was servicing other tables but he was quick, attentive & friendly. He checked in on me throughout my visit more than thrice, which was very much appreciated. I ordered the fajita combo, served with refried beans, Mexican rice, choice of corn or flour tortillas and side of guacamole, pico de gallo, cheese & sour cream. The fajitas arrived sizzling, both the chicken and beef were juicy and flavorful. The tortillas had an ok flavor, they'd tear easily when made into a taco even though they were a bit thick. The place overall is fun and lively, depending the day and time could be busier than my visit. The were playing good music the whole time I was there. Also, It can get a bit cold, which I'd rather be cold than hot in Texas suggest bringing a sweater in case you get cold easy.

Steak Burrito
Ivy L.

Coming back into Houston from IAH and the bf was hungry so we decided to stop at Chuy's since it's been awhile either of us had been to Chuy's. The restaurant had a 20 min wait, so we opted for bar seating instead. The service was a bit on the slow side but that's ok - it was expected at a chain restaurant like this. We ordered the tortilla soup, the panchos with beef/chicken, the steak burrito and a margarita on the rocks! *Panchos with Beef/Chicken Combo - Wow, I have never had a nacho this bad. Like seriously, how do you screw up on nachos right? Well, this one came on a huge chip (like half a crispy taco shell) per "chip".. it was covered in cold cheese, with guac and jalapenos BUT the chicken/beef was flavorless, cold and dry! Ack! It was so gross we barely ate more than 1-2 "chips" and threw away the rest. 1/5 *Steak Burrito - I didn't taste any of this but the bf said it wasn't good. I'm assuming the meat was the same as the one on top of the panchos. The green sauce was super spicy and didn't add to the flavors at all. He seemed disappointed but I won't rate this dish cause I didn't try it myself and can't vouch for it. *Tortilla Soup - I remember really liking the chicken tortilla soup at Chuy's. This one was ok - the broth was fine, though it was lukewarm and I wanted some hot soup after a long flight. The chicken pieces were on the dry side and it was hard to eat. I thought it was ok - nothing to write home about though. 3/5 Overall, this was the worse Chuy's experience I've ever had. I don't remember Chuy's being so bad - but maybe it's just this location? The chips were greasy, where you can see the oil it was drenched in. The meats were dry and bland and tough. Even the margarita wasn't good. We wouldn't come back here - the normal taco bar with the spices/pico/salsa was empty. The restaurant wasn't as clean as it could be - especially the bench seating. I think the Kirby location is better inside Houston - I'm sure hoping it's not Chuy's going downhill cause I remember thinking it wasn't bad and actually liking it. I really wanted a tres leches cause I remember liking that as well, but in the end I decided not to order it here cause of how disappointed I was with everything else.

Chicken Flautas Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom New Mexican Martini Creamy Jalapeño Tomatillo

Chuy's has become a quick favorite! I love the laidback vibes and pictures of all the cute pups decorating the space. We were greeted and seated quickly. Once we sat down the greatest thing happened and they brought out chips, salsa and the best creamy jalapeño dip I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. We went through several servings and I even got some to go! On to the food and drinks... everything was delicious. The Paloma and Mexican martini were a hit. I tried all of the food in the photos and my favorite were the shrimp tacos and chicken enchiladas. Our server was very attentive and the manager checked in with us and took plates out of our way after our meal. We will definitely be returning!

just got this "ice water"

Took an hour to get our food. Chicken was discolored. My sons fries were cold. My beef quesadillas were very salty. Our drinks had no ice. Bathrooms were disgusting.

Enchiladas
Ron P.

There is something about Chuy''s that's a little different than most Tex-Mex restaurants. Yes, you can get the staples of enchiladas and fajitas with beans and rice. But you're not going to get the multitude of sauces and food combinations in portions that are slightly larger than most of the other places. Combine the food with an impressive choice of margaritas and other cocktails all enjoyed in a unique and festive atmosphere results in a fun and satisfying dining experience.

Chuy's is hit and miss in customer service but has great creamy jalapeno dip for chips. Usually a good experience.

Over priced and over rated. Have tried it a few times and never been impressed with the food or service. I don't get all the hype.

We ate some incredibly tasty Tex-Mex on our way to Madri Gras. This was in Houston before we headed east. This is a must for tourists.

Tonight , I visited the one in Humble off of FM 1960, and once again it did not disappoint. I ordered a very good enchilada combination dish called the Coronado that came with shrimp brochette and enchilada, and a crispy beef taco, but I had them take off the taco and add me an extra enchilada, which they did with no problem. It came with rice and beans and I ordered a side of pico de gallo to go with it. It was piping hot , cheesy, and delicious. zero complaints. And my brother even let me try some of his quail, which I had never tried at any Pappas restaurant before and it too was very good. Super tender, smoky and welled seasoned. Now the reason for the 3 stars was the service. We had two servers and they were both very much in their own worlds.. Messed up my drink order out the gate, inattentive to whether or not we needed things, never once's asked how we were coming along with our meal, ( until the very end of both our meals and our dirty plates were still laying there in front of us) and never asked either one of us if we wanted another drink, and we were sitting at the bar! And these were bartenders!! Thus only the 3 stars

Although it was busy when we arrived, we were seated within five minutes, which was impressive. The food was pretty tasty.

We'll definitely be back!

I have passed this place for years and never stopped. My Hispanic friends asked be to meet them…read morethere for Cinco de Mayo, and I obliged. I know I tend to do long reviews, but I'll try to be brief. The good: This place stayed packed with a very diverse crowd. They had live music/ singing and a dj of sorts the entire time I was there. The energy from everyone was infectious the entire dining experience. The salsa was definitely freshly made, and was some of the best salsa I ever tasted. Someone's abuela is in the kitchen making that salsa. If you are a drinker, they sometimes passed by with shots for people to try. The bad: I hate to say it, but the price to portion size is out of whack. For what I paid for the dinner size of the Casador mix, I've gotten the 2 person, hot box, sizzle thingy, to share at other Mexican restaurants. I hate paying high prices for Mexican food! Don't blame me when I grew up getting 10 tacos for under $5! I was also underwhelmed with the seasoning of their meats. The ugly: The service is great, but they are truly understaffed. I could point out a number of factors of why I made that statement. That would include them only refilling my glass once, and I was there for over 2 hours. The true ugly kicker for me was that it took a half of hour just to get my bill so I could pay and leave. In gist, I would go back, but I know to expect small portions, a pricey bill, and having appetizers give a bigger flavor pop than the entrees. The chorizo cheese hit harder than my mixed plate sadly. I wish I would have taken photos of the enchiladas plates. The enchiladas looked like large flautas. Don't be stingy with your portions people!

Delicious!! This place never disappoints. We tried the Antonio, and it was really tasty. The flank…read moresteak was perfectly seasoned, grilled to perfection, and topped with cheese. The beans and rice were also great. We sat at the bar and received wonderful service. Definitely a place I'd recommend!
