Chuy's is amazing! Everything is so fresh and delicious. Don't fear that's it's a chain as they source local ingredients with the freshness that you would get at any local restaurant around town. I personally love the fun colorful vibe, a love of Elvis and their awesome patio! My go to dishes here are their fajitas and the fajita chicken burrito or ground beef burritos covered in queso. They make their tortillas in house and you can definitely tell. So good! And if you are there when they happen to have the blackberry margarita, just get it! You won't regret it!

Wow! The meal was great! The service was impressive. I explained this was my fist time visiting. The server brought out all their samples of sauce for me to try! The manager stopped by and greated me and the. brought me a "free " Tres Leches. Wow! Highly recommended!

Unfortunately this place is lacking in service and food quantity. We walked in and was sat right down, but we asked to move to a booth because the tables and chairs are tiny and low to the ground. The host said this was all he had, but thankfully one of the servers asked me if I wanted a booth after overhearing our question and walked us over to a booth. Young female of color, was the only upbeat person in this restaurant, I wish I would've had her as a server! Our lady server came over and immediately was off putting, we order drinks and you can tell she just didn't want to be there, which is fine we all have bad days. We order the food and it came out with 10 mins, and I could tell them these plates had been served early and reheated, plates were extremely hot and the food just looked old. The taco was ok and you can really mess up enchiladas, so they were ok, my friend order a chuychanga, after expressing his love for them as a kid as they would go to Chuy's as kids in Texas. But this one just didn't surpass the expectations! Was hard on one side which is a sign of microwaving! And was just bland and blah! Sad this franchise has taken a hit, major rebranding has taken this hometown place and made it just another place on the street! Only tasty item was the margarita but again you can't really mess that up!

This MEXICAN food is as close as I can find to real and authentic Texas BBQ. Sometimes their service is slower when they are busy; but their salsa is to die for!!! And their tortilla chips. I've never had an allergic reaction here, as I have SOOO many food allergies; so this is one of those restaurants that I just keep coming back to every time. When I went, they were still having inside dining; but with the new restrictions, that isn't accessible. While taking it home rather than sitting in the restaurant isn't ideal, it doesn't mean that I won't eat here.

Best chips! I love this food every single time we visit. I eat here whenever I'm in a city that has one of these.

Well I usually think that most Mexican restaurants are the same and the food is always the same but…read morefrom time to time I am surprised by a standout. This is one of those places. I have been to dozens of Mexican restaurants in the Lexington area and there are two that stand out. This one and the me in Midway, KY. This place is like the Cheesecake Factory of Mexican -it's a big menu. If you talk to Latin American people or the employees of the restaurant, they will tell you that this place is exceptional. I had the Camarones A La Diabla and it was spicy!! Great flavor! Most Mexican restaurants don't show any heat or spice in most all of their dishes, but this is fire! Not only do they have a large menu but also have a lot seating. There are so many tables and they open another room on the weekends. They have a great patio when the weather is right and it is covered! We were there on a Tuesday night and the place was packed. They also had margaritas two for one and I don't know when they offer that but they had it when we were there. I look forward to going back and trying more dishes!

This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in Lexington because of its authenticity and the…read morefood and service is always amazing. Ordered a lingua and barbacoa taco and the steak tacos with cheese sauce. Plenty of meat on the tacos and the lingua was very tender. The steak tacos are always great mostly because of the cheese sauce and good amount of steak. The chips and salsa always hit the spot also
