It's ok. Nothing to write home about. I'm not a fan of chain restaurants so let me just put it out there. The original Chuy's in Austin didn't feel like a chain restaurant. But when I tried it in Richmond it was just like any other chain restaurant which is meh. The food was ok, just like other chain American Mexican restaurants (you name it). The servers made a good effort to make your experience pleasant. If you have a big party and other places can't accommodate you, this might be a good option. read more

Love this place. Tex-mex is so much better than ANY Mexican place I've had in Virginia. Fajitas are on point with real chicken! Not that orange squiggly weird junk everywhere else around here serves. Chuychanga is amazing. Love their fresh flour tortillas (actually made there fresh as they should be!) Love the green sauce and salsa. And delish queso. What's not to love? We recommend! Always! If you're on the fence about Mexican food - try Tex-mex. It's the best. read more

Our server Samari was amazing. We have a pretty big party (8) and he got all of our order correct and he was very friendly. This is one of our favorite pleases for come for family dinner. Can't wait to come here again. read more

Chuy's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

I decided to come by Chuy's in order to grab some authentic Mexican food. We were greeted by a welcoming staff, who made us feel welcome and festive. The decor was very nice and reminded me of different places places around the world. We only had to wait about five minutes before we were seated. We were greeted by a festive and really spirited server who made us feel welcome and like we were going to have a great time. Some people ordered some margaritas and various flavors while others got soft drinks with slices of lime. We were given some chips and salsa to enjoy while we decided on our dinner choice. I decided to order the burrito and it came out hot fresh and delicious. It was massive! The food was flavorful and smelled wonderful. If you are coming to Chuy's, I would recommend you come hungry. The portion sizes are big. The cost of the food was very reasonable, and everybody seemed to enjoy what they ordered. We will be back! read more

There's Tex-Mex and Mexican food. Chuy's is both while leaning towards Tex-Mex. being from New Mexico, I know authentic Mexican food, and having lived in Texas, I also know Tex-Mex. Chuy's is the best Mexican food in RVA. I've been all over RVA and eaten at many "Mexican" restaurants. None even remotely compare to the fresh chips, tortillas, foods, and salsa. The worst thing in Mexican cuisine is when you order and the food comes to your table in 10 minutes. That means reheated and not fresh. Chuy's takes the time to prepare and never disappoints. read more

Why would any person working in a kitchen put black guacamole on top of a salad. Totally visible to them and the server. Yet they tried to feed it to me. read more

Not sure how this place is surviving. They cut their menu way back with the plandemic and it hasn't recovered. They only offer unhealthy refried beans when most other Tex mex restaurants offer charro and black beans. Fajitas were overcooked. Drinks are grossly overpriced. Disappointed and doubt I'll return. read more

Late opening the door. When we got there no one served us. We tracked down 2 servers who both said "you're not in my area". As we were leaving we told the person at the door no one is available to serve us and she just looked dumbfounded We WERE Chuy regulars Not any more. There are LOTS of Mexican restaurants and we will try every one before going back here read more

I dragged Hubs to Michael's down the street and had to feed him in exchange for him holding my shopping bags. We arrived right when they opened at 11 on a weekday and were seated immediately. The server was fantastic and when we mentioned that it was our first time there and had no idea which salsa we wanted to top the food, she brought us a flight of the salsas!!!!!! Seriously, she brought about 10 dipping cups of each of the salsas on the menu, told us what every one was and then we now now that pretty much all of them are awesome! That is some above and beyond customer service! Hubs got a burrito covered with whichever sauce was his favorite, and I am ashamed to admit I DEVOURED (about half of) the Comida Deluxe before coming up for air. It is an amazing mix of everything. You get to try their flautas, tostadas, queso, rice, beans, enchiladas... You can get a fairly good idea about how everything on their menu tastes pretty much from one plate. We loved the vibe in here which really goes with the whole Tex-Mex kitschy theme and looked around the entire time to try to take in everything. We will definitely be back repeatedly! read more

So I know it's a chain but it's my first time eating here. First- all the staff from cooks, front of house, waitress were amazing! So it's not any staff issue. If anything they were 5/5. Good- very meh and overpriced. So the chips and salsa that come - chips great thin and crisp. Then you get some slightly spicy ranch sauce ? It was ok but their salsa was outright bad. I'm not sure of the formula and I've had mediocre salsa but this was like ... I don't want to eat this salsa. I ordered the fajitas they were fine. I really enjoyed the fresh made tortillas. The rest was just ok and rice wasn't inedible-like salsa but wasn't good. Just for 15 dollars I felt the portion size was like half what I get anywhere else around here for 10 dollars. My mother had some enchiladas and liked them but agreed with everything else said it was ok but overpriced. If they are paying their awesome staff 15+ an hour which I hope they are I guess it's fine. Work on the salsa for sure. But otherwise this chain overcharges and under delivers I'm sad to say. But we tipped well anyway because staff was awesome ! read more

Ate lunch here with wife around 12 noon. The restaurant is not too busy and plenty of staff to manage. Everything is clean inside and out. Staff is friendly. These chips are really good. The salsa is actually mostly tomato chunks and really good. The plate we ordered is the Elvis Presley and we split thus as it was even more than we could share. It was very hot!!, mild spice but a HOT plate. Had to let it cool down before we could dig in. It was very good and fresh. A casual atmosphere and we would return. read more

The Tex Mex is fine, but there are much better local places. I had the enchiladas with their Tex-Mex sauce. The service was good!

i've been here several times have had the full tea service, also the café menu. Everything has been fabulous every time. The chef/owner is an accomplished pastry chef and the other offerings such as soups, quiche, scones etc. are wonderful. Highly recommend. Plus the decor is very cute. read more

Never been a big fan of chain Mexican food, or Chuy's in general. But after my granddaughter's dance recital on a Sunday, our options were limited. She wanted Mexican for lunch, and her Mommy's first two choices turned out to be closed on Sundays. So Chuy's it was. Turned out to be a great choice. We went kind of late for lunch, and it turned out to be a lucky break. They were not overly busy, so we were able to put a couple of tables together for our party of 10. Greg was our waiter, and did an outstanding job. Even with 10 of us, we never ran out of chips or salsa, and he was very entertaining to the 3 grandkids. And to my surprise, the food was very good. Everyone was happy with their choices. Wouldn't hesitate to go back again, and would definitely ask if Greg was working. read more

For overall perspective, we collectively give it 4 stars. Server wasn't on the ball unfortunately with drinks, chips and our needs in-general but the manager covered any gaps (e.g. water refills and more chips). If our server nailed it, definitely 5 stars. I personally don't love Chuy's (rather prefer mexican style than this tex-mex and it's variety) but hey my family loves this place Preparing and delivering the food was super-fast we barely were able to eat much chips and dip/salsa like usual! If you aren't familiar with Chuy's, the have a *superb* creamy jalapeno dip that they bring out along with the chips and salsa...easily my particular favorite personally at the restaurant (my wife loves it so much too that occasionally she will have me buy it by the quart!). Two orders of burritos, a chuychanga (chimichanga) and a taco salad all were solid entrees. My salad came in a big bowl but never did get my requested side plate/bowl (back to my comment about server missing some things) so I didn't add dressing on entire salad...I knew I wouldn't eat it all and didn't want leftovers soggy). Oh well. Lastly we ordered steak fajitas to go but server forgot it and didn't include in the bill; we found the manager who fixed the issue (again). Really fast turnaround for steak fajitas as takeout with bag of chips, salsa, etc all included too...to be honest the manager nearly she have received part of our tip given how much he helped us read more

Anytime my daughter gets to decide where to eat this is where we come. We all love it here? There is an older gentleman that is a server that we live to see. I'm drawing a blank on his name. But, even if you aren't at his table he usually says hi and has a joke. Love getting margaritas here. My daughter gets the chicken nuggets with macaroni. It is actually Mac and cheese and she loves it. I'll get anything. The fajitas are great, the nacho app was plenty to share, and I burrito is as big as your face! ( i think that's what it says on the menu) I think everyone favorite has to be the nachos and dip. When you order online they include a big bag of nachos as well. They are so light and airy and just salted right. The queso cheese dip and spicy artichoke dip are great too. read more

TL;DR: nothing to write home about. Service is decent. But below average Mexican food, but not the worst I've had. My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday night. They were a little busy, but we were seated pretty quickly. Our server was good. Attentive to drinks and refills of chips. Food: Chips and Salsa: I know you can't complain about complimentary food, but the chips were good, the salsa was just a little watery and didn't taste like much. Oven roasted chicken burrito: The burrito wasn't terrible. The chicken was a little dry. I feel like I could have just made this at home with canned ingredients. The veggies that came with it (pico, lettuce, jalapenos) seemed like they had been taken from another plate and placed onto mine. Did not seem appetizing. Elvis combo: came with a beef enchilada, cheese enchilada, chicken enchilada, a beef crispy taco, and chips dipped in chile con queso. All the enchiladas were mediocre. The chips and queso looked like a hard shell for a taco split in half and dipped in a little queso. Disappointing, but will say it was probably the tastiest thing we had that night. Will probably opt to go to the non chain Mexican places around here instead. read more

I enjoy coming to this location quite regularly. I love how soft the flour tortillas are. I typically get chicken soft tacos, but tonight we indulged on the Chicken Fajitas for two. It comes with sides of beans and rice with enough chicken and veggies for six fajitas. My favorite part is the charred onions from the sizzling plate. The chips are hit and miss sometimes, but they were crispy and not-too-salty tonight. read more

if you actually like this food i'm scared of you. it just tastes like canned food that's been sitting in my grandmas pantry for 30 years

Chuy's used to be one of our favorite restaurants. Decent food for the price and Dos equis on happy hour, but they need to get their roach problem under control. Also, the phone app for call ahead seating did not work when we tried it...it let us reserve but the restaurant did not show us on the wait list. When I asked why we weren't on the waitlist after using the app, I was told they "didn't have that working"...waste of time. That wasn't enough to deter us from waiting, but seeing a roach in the bar area was for sure. read more

My husband had a bad experience previously at a different location, but his 2nd experience was better! My first time here and his 3rd experience and the food was awesome! I ordered a taco salad with ground beef. I poured the creamy sauce that was given to us w the chips over my salad. Or your typical taco salad. All the greens and veggies were fresh and crisp. No tortilla bowl, but tortilla strips added the crunch needed. I'd def order this again but with chicken. Loved the atmosphere here too really a cool chain spot. read more

To be honest, I really wasn't impressed with this restaurant. We were seated beside the bar at a high top table and the bar patrons were pretty loud, considering it was only around 4 pm. There wasn't much of a selection of food items, and I found the food to be mediocre. The chips and salsa were bland, and the service was slow. (Are those chips made with flour tortillas instead of corn? I couldn't even tell.) I didn't really like the seasoning they use for their ground beef in their enchiladas. That could be personal preference, but it tasted odd to me in a way I can't quite put my finger on. My expectations from the outside looking in were off, as I wasn't expecting to be served in what I can only describe as plastic fast food baskets and plates. Maybe I was there on a bad day, which I'm sure is always possible, but not a place in which I will return. read more

I really enjoy this option for Mexican good. I find Chuy's to be a little different than the typical and appreciate the variations of dishes and ingredients from the same Mexican you can get anywhere. The sauces, to me, give a great chance to enhance the meals. The creamy jalapeño is my favorite! Their chips are very thin and wonderfully salty (which may not be everyone's preference, but I love them!). You gotta be careful though or you'll eat so many that you won't want an entree. The steak tacos were wonderfully seasoned! Lots of flavor. I loved the green rice, especially because it had a nice kick! The guacamole was pretty salty, but that's probably a result of a heavy hand or weak stir and I don't think it would always be the case. My husband seemed to really like the enchiladas, but I didn't try them since I was so full of chips! The bartender was very nice and attentive to our needs. He made some great recommendations and seemed to have a great relationship with other staff and patrons who appeared to be regulars. read more

Don't know what the appeal of this place is but it's definitely not the food. Came here around 7:30 it took 10 minutes until my drink order was taken. The chips are very fragile and break easily in their so called salsa which is itsy diced under ripe tomatoes. The creamy dip was so runny and thin and had me wondering what the hell it is. The menu is lack luster. Had 2 tacos one chicken the other beef. The meal which came with rice and beans. The beef tacos had ZERO taste and the chicken was dry and over grilled. Laughingly the beans had the most flavor. I could have eaten better at Taco Bell. At least their food has seasoning and zest. Chuy's seriously needs to revamp their menu and food quality or else it will be Adios Amigos and hopefully a better restaurant will take its place. So someone at Chuy's replied asking me to contact Chuy's.com. I did and got ZERO response. This place doesn't care about food taste, quality or Customer Service. read more

I'm in Richmond visiting my son for the weekend and we stopped at Chuys for lunch . We both ordered steak burritos and draft Mexican beer. The burrito comes with beans and rice and was excellent!

It was Sunday November 6th when I finally made my way to CHUY's! I was on a date and she recommended we try this place. The décor is pretty funky and fun; I liked it immediately. It was a nice departure from the really dark ambiance of typical Mexican restaurants. The waitress was bubbly and nice. I was a fish out of water on this one so I asked what the most popular dish is. Without hesitating she said I should try the Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom enchiladas. Done. I honestly didn't know what was going to arrive. I was relieved to see that this Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom is just Enchiladas suizas. Suiza, meaning Swiss, is simply an adjective that indicates the dish is topped with a white, milk, or cream-based sauce. Legend tells us it's derived from Swiss immigrants living in Mexico who established dairies to produce cream and cheese. It was delicious and I devoured those suckers in no time flat. The refried beans were interesting and I think I'll just leave it at that. The rice was pleasant. Obviously the star of the show was the suiza sauce and the tender chicken hidden within. I had enough room left over to give their tres leches cake a whirl. Some might think the three milks are from different animals but Sancho is here to school you cabróns to the game. Tres leches cake is made with evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. Let me tell you, this sucker was theBomb.com It wasn't as rich as it looks but it's definitely filling. If you like moist sponge cake you owe it to yourself to try this. I gave my leftover slice to the ex-wife and she said it's the best she ever had. In closing I'm not sure if or when I'll venture that far out for Mexican food. If you're in the area give it a go. read more

Let me just start by saying, people who review this restaurant with expectations of authentic Mexican food, don't really get what Chuys is about lol it is a solid Tex mex joint with yummy, cheesy, saucy, and fried deliciousness. It does not matter in this case about authenticity. I would literally bathe in their creamy jalapeño sauce, there is nothing better. I almost always get one of three things when I go. The enchiladas with creamy jalapeño sauce, the chicken flautas with creamy jalapeño sauce, and the chuychanga with creamy jalapeño sauce. I also get my chips with creamy jalapeño sauce, sense a theme here? GET THE CREAMY JALAPEÑO SAUCE! Is this a fancy or authentic resturant? No, but is it delicious? ABSOLUTELY. If I'm looking for a unique hole in the wall then I will look elsewhere but if I'm just wanting a tasty flavorful meal that's good for the soul, this works just perfectly read more

Chuy's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Chuy's is kitschy, from the dog-themed decor on the walls to their pop-culture themed t-shirt sales, to their broad swath of Tex-Mex flare/spin on Mexican staples. While there are some things about Chuy's that stand out (e.g. Creamy Jalapeno Dip, Homemade Tortillas, Tres Leches Cake), they are mostly flare and not a whole lot of substance. If you are craving awesome Mexican food, do yourself a favor and go to Don Pepe just a little further up Hull St. near Genito; it is the best in RVA. One thing that Chuy's does really well is their chips and salsa -- they have a wide variety of sauces, not only on the salsa bar, but all of the sauces are available with the chips (upon request) when you get seated. I HIGHLY recommend the Creamy Jalapeno Dip (think spicy ranch dressing), it is great on everything! For entrees, most recently I tried the Saturday Special, the Macho Burrito (a flour tortilla stuffed with roasted pork, green chiles, jack cheese & guacamole, smothered with Hatch Green Chile Tomatillo Sauce) and subbed the Mexican Rice for Chile Rice. While big and heavy, it wasn't particularly flavorful -- and the tomatillo sauce completely overpowered the flavor profile of the pork, so much so that the protein provide more by means of texture than flavor. It wasn't bad, per se, but I wouldn't get it again. I normally get the Southwestern Enchiladas, which are much better than this burrito on their worst day. The homemade blue corn tortillas that they use really add something to the open-faced enchiladas. Another place where Chuy's shines is the Tres Leches Cake. While not as good as the best ever (see: Kuba Kuba), for a chain, it is really nice. The size is plenty to split, and the combination of the cream sauce that the cake is soaked in and caramel drizzle on top is just sweet enough without going overkill. While not bad, Chuy's is hit or miss, with some notable highlights. Across the board, for what it is, it is also a bit pricey for Tex-Mex food, without corresponding quality or flavor to match. For best results, come for Happy Hour, try all of the great sauces and salsa, and get a Tres Leches to take home. read more
