Sorry Chuy's. Our most recent experience really put a bad taste in our mouth. Granted, it was a Saturday evening and busy but there were many tables that cleared out after we were seated. We chalk it up to a server that doesn't know how to prioritize. First up, we were brought chips and salsa. The chips were the basically the broken end pieces that you would see at the bottom of a chip bag with a few large pieces on the top to fool us. Completely unacceptable. Took them quite awhile to even bring glasses of water to us which sucks because that salsa has a kick. Not so much fun eating with nothing to quench your thirst. Our server finally had the sense to come let us know they were frying a new batch of chips and would bring some to us when they were ready. So he brings them out and we're happy. We run low and then , OF COURSE, our order of guacamole came out. So we had to keep playing this cat and mouse game of getting his attention for chips. He would acknowledge us then help a neighboring table, then walk past us, then back to a different table. Seriously?! I made a joke that he must've been trying to get his fitbit steps because he was walking all over the place but near our table. Anyways we got our chips but at that point our entrees were brought out by a runner. We asked the runner guy for silverware and he nodded like he would bring some to us. He NEVER did. So, again, it was another cat and mouse game of finding our server for utensils before our food got cold ( it was lukewarm by the time I took a bite). And, on top of that, my husband's order was incorrect. He had requested a certain sauce on top of his burrito. (This was all taken with the server's memory since he didn't think to write anything down.) The sauce was missing so when he asked our server why, he responded with some excuse that they don't put the sauce on top because it's cold. HUHH?! Well, if that was the case, let us know or at least put it on the side! For a $50 dinner (with tip- yep we aren't totally heartless) we feel a bit swindled. Food quality was meh this go around and the lackluster service was just icing on the cake. Hoping this was a one time encounter but I would recommend steering clear on weekends and come on a weeknight when servers don't have to manage more than 2 tables. Unless you like having to play hide and seek with your server.... read more

The food was great! I love this place! Great drinks! Definitely recommend! Love the burritos

Hands down best Texmex I've had in a LONG time... Fajitas can feed 2 people easy... great guac! read more

Gotta go with 5 stars again. First of all, bartender Darnell was awesome. I would come here just to sit at his bar. About the food. I was in the mood for something with shrimp and Darnell suggested the Boom Boom chicken made with shrimp instead. I just found my new favorite dish. Guarantee I'll be back for that on my next trip to Orlando. Note to Chuy's management, do not, repeat, do not let loose Darnell. He's that good. read more

I'm not really one to get excited about food establishments that are near the airport, but it was a Sunday and I was tired and hungry after a long flight. I've never heard of Chuy's before but its Yelp rating was good so we decided to try it out. This is a large restaurant and we didn't wait at all, which was nice. Their salsa is terrific and they make all their corn and flour tortillas fresh at the front of the restaurant. Fresh tortillas are the best! Our server was incredible. She took time to tell us about the menu and their sauces (all of them are free, just ask for some) and even let us know that they made all their food completely fresh. Nothing was packaged or microwaved. Their food was pretty good and their sangria was also excellent. I am looking forward to my next flight so I can come home and visit this place again! read more

4.5 stars for Chuy's. We had a really great lunch but I'm on the fence about giving them five stars so I'll g conservative and go with the four. First, we got there right as they opened (11am on a Sunday) and were promptly greeted and seated. The restaurant is fairly new so is nice and clean. It is bright and airy with loud colors typical of this type of restaurant. Service was great, especially at first. We were brought fresh chips and salsa that was too spicy for my taste. Luckily my friend had eaten here before and knew to ask for the creamy jalapeno white sauce... Wow, that sauce is a MUST! Surprisingly it was not as spicy as the salsa and was wonderfully garlicky. I went with the chicken burrito ("Big as yo' face") with oven roasted chicken. For only $10 it was indeed very large (two meals worth when cut in half) and came with a side of Mexican rice and lettuce/tomato. There were large chunks of tender chicken throughout my burrito. I got the two mild sauces on the side (there are many to choose from). Although I tried them both, and they were OK, I ended up using the creamy jalapeno sauce. It was so flavorful that a little went a long way. Somewhere toward the end of our meal our server disappeared for 15 minutes or so. It wasn't a big deal as we were catching up anyway. By the time we left the place had quite filled up. We were thanked again on our way out and I noticed employees making fresh tortillas through the glass of the kitchen. I'm excited to have a new, delicious restaurant near the airport and can see myself coming back here time after time. Next time I'm going to splurge for that tres leches cake! read more

Holy sheak their food is spicy (hot) and did not have disclaimers. I got the "mild" enchiladas but my mouth was burning. My husband got the steak burrito which comes with "charro" beans, and his meal was too hot for him even though he loves eating hot stuff everywhere. Wow! Other than that the mexican flavors were authentic. read more

I don't understand why I can't get good service here anymore, it makes me so sad because I really want to enjoy the food dining in here and not taking it to go we tried you guys again tonight and our server Craig was absolutely terrible I just don't get it he definitely didn't care for serving us. read more

*Cue uncontrollable salivation* This is Mexican food done right. Massive, heaping plates, strong flavors, and an unending stream if things to eat from the moment you sit down. There's also a fine atmosphere here; kind of genuine Mexican, kind of urban America. At this point I note that this place is a chain, which isn't always bad. Chuy's completely avoids the shitty aspects of chains like Olive Garden while evidently benefiting from the advantages. For instance, you get a lot for the price. A lot. The plates are massive and beautiful. I recommend with the entire force of my voice the Comida Deluxe. This dish gets you a big enchilada, two flautas, rice, beans, a taco, and an assortment of salad, guac, and salsa. All that for around $12. The flavor, appearance, and volume were exceptional. I can't recommend it enough. With a dish as good as Comida Deluxe, pretty much nothing could impact the 5 star rating. Well done. read more

Went here because a group wanted to go. I am not a big fan of mexican places mostly because I cant eat cheese and its a pain in ass to get no cheese and feel like most places dont care that a high percentage of people cant eat it. Mexican places are basically cheese and meat. Anyway, I ate a big lunch so that when I went later I would order a single taco alla cart like I have done at the waterford location. I told the waitress that I wasnt all that hungry and didnt want to spend a lot of money and could I just get a soft taco. She said sure, she asked me for what side and I was like all I want is a taco, and want dont want to pay a lot. Well she gets me two tacos, guatomola and fries. I didnt touch the fries or guatomola. I get the bill and its almost $10 even more then the other people with me getting enchiladas and other food. Really disappointed that She basically ignored my request. I learned my lesson, and have a plan to avoid this nonsense in the future. For now cutting back on her tip took away some of the waste. I guess from now on I will pay the bill instead of my wive. read more

After visiting here many times this past year I felt the need to update my review. Unfortunately it's not a good one. Let me start with the service. It's terrible at best. I'm a single business traveler and stop here before the airport often. I always feel like it's an inconvenience for them to seat me, wait on me and serve me. Today's server Sherry was the worst yet. Slow, slow, slow. The food is average ate best. The chips (which are my favorite at Chuys in TX) more often than not are very oily. The flour tortillas are the worst I've ever had. And consistently bad. They need to quality check the food. As a long time lover of this chain for years, I'm very disappointed that n this location. read more

I'm never really in the area and decided to try this place out...something different. I clearly stated NO GUACAMOLE...it was understood. I get to my location...boxes are marked no guac...I'm thinking cool. Kept opening my bags snd found a nice little container full of it . Ok...the panchos, taco, and flautas were yummy! Thumbs up for the queso as well. All the side sauces were good. The cheese enchiladas were like rubber and just blah...so that was a waste. read more

Chuy's - No guac...so what's the green stuff? - Mexican Near Me - Orlando, Florida

A friend invited me out to eat at Chuy's recently. When I came back to Yelp to read what others said about this place, I felt that awful feeling. You know which one I'm talking about. That feeling you get in your stomach when you're seeing a bunch of rave reviews, but you thought the place was ok at best, and you don't want to be "that guy" raining on the parade. But such is the life of a Yelper, and as much as I hate to do this, I'm going to be "that guy" for now. Chuy's isn't bad. It's perfectly serviceable Tex-Mex food. But it's not great. The decor of the place is a little weird because they have as much pop culture decorations as they do Mexican themed ones. Not that that's bad, but if you're looking for authentic experience, Chuy's isn't that. The chips and salsa are alright. The staff is really on the ball about refilling your chips and salsa which I can't say the same for too many other Mexican restaurants, so that earns a thumbs up. As for the main dishes, we split some nachos as an appetizer, and I had an enchilada, taco, and chalupa for dinner. Again, the food isn't bad, but it doesn't really stand out on its own. I feel like I could get a similar meal with similar flavors over at Tijuana Flats for a few bucks less. If you're around the airport area, and you're craving some Mexican food, you do worse than Chuy's. It's good, but it's also....I guess typical is the best word I can use here. I doubt I'd drive all the way over there for another dinner unless I was already in the area for something. I'll give them this. They run like heck with the pun of their name. Chuy's, pronounced Chewies, goes full on with the Star Wars pun and they have a ton of Star Wars themed merchandise and wall decorations. As a Star Wars nerd, that gets an extra tip of the hat. read more

Eh. Average chain Tex Mex. The margaritas were pretty good but the food was just okay. I was mostly disappointed by the guacamole which is often prepared tableside (or at least kind of fresh) in this kind of restaurant but ours was old and sitting on a bad of cabbage to make it look bigger than it was. For 2 people (1 beer, 1 margarita, veggie enchiladas, tacos, and a guacamole) we spent $60. If you just need somewhere to eat food this is fine but it definitely doesnt stand out as a stellar restaurant. read more

The food was good. Not genuinely authentic, but good for Tex Mex. I had the pork tacos, beans, and Mexican rice. The pork was very tender and not dried out. From other yelp reviews I requested the creamy jalapeño dip and it was really good. read more

Chuy's - Mexican Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Upon entering Chuy's, the hostess greats you with a smile. Depending on the time of day you should be seated immediately. We received Chips and Salsa, which was great. The Chips were warm and the Salsa was fresh. Our food arrived hot and prepared as requested. The restaurant makes the Tortilla shells in in the restaurant and will refill the chip basket. Chuy's was clean and the server was attentive. I loved my food and will go back to try something different. read more

I love Chuy's! This was my first time at this location. We arrived before 7:00, so we were able to enjoy the nacho bar car. That was the first time I was able to try it and it was a awesome freebie! When we sat down we were given nachos so we hopped over to the car bar and grabbed some queso (for free!!) and meat to go along with it. We had a large group and we were given 2 waiters. Super on top of everything! Drinks came when low and we were well taken care of. I ordered a super easy meal, plain flautas with shredded cheese. It came out with queso which was fine, but then had to ask for the shredded cheese. The only thing I dislike is when you get charged for something and not told ahead of time. I got charged for the shredded cheese, yet I opted out of everything else that the meal came with. I wish they would just sub it or mention it ahead of time. Very thankful for accommodating our large group and treating us great! read more

Great food and even better happy hour. Free nacho bar (queso, meat, refried beans, chips and salsa) at happy hour during the week from 5-7pm. Drink specials as well for margaritas. The food is fresh and really tasty. Located right on Orlando street, they have plenty of parking and a nice outdoor patio. I ordered the nachos my first visit with half steak and half ground beef. I cant even tell you which one I liked the most, both were really good. My 2nd visit I had a Chuychanga - A fried flour tortilla filled with fresh, steak filling, cheese, cilantro & green chiles, garnished with sour cream & your choice of sauce. Plenty of parking. read more

Best waiter: Jordan Best drink: Strawberry Margarita Dinner plate: Stacked Enchiladas with Tomatillo sauce. Holy Cow!! Honestly the very Best TexMex I have ever had! Fun decor, comfortable seating and very clean. The food is ALL fresh, especially the tortillas. Cooked to order. They will make you just about any fruit flavor frozen Margarita. Very yummy! My mouth is watering just thinking about their food and drinks! read more

Wow, great service and atmosphere! It was so nice to sit in a dining area completely separate from the bar with no TV screens to contend with. The food was equally enjoyable. I had a combo platter with a beef taco, cheese enchiladas and chicken flautas. The pulled chicken in the flautas was particularly spectacular, very fresh and juicy. The enchiladas were yummorific as was the taco. The beans and rice sides were pretty standard but decent. Another standout was the tortillas, all of which were outstanding, super fresh and crisp. My darling wife had the chicken enchiladas platter, and her dish was also outstanding. The sauces were great too, and the server brought us samples of all but the spiciest to taste test. This really is s great tex mex place! They even have some very cool Star Wars, and other pop culture sci-fi themed, t-shirts for sale in the lobby. We will definitely be back, next time I have to try the margaritas! read more

This place is pretty solid for broad appeal, standard Americanized chain Mexican food. My husband and I visited here with a group of friends with young kids, and they offered great food options for the kids and the decor and atmosphere was entertaining for the young ones. The chips and salsa were decent, but free, which we loved. Nothing special about the salsa, nothing I would crave after my meal there, but I ate it all because, well, free chips and salsa. My husband and I split the fajitas for two--steak and shrimp. Once again, very standard Mexican. The portion size was decent, the steak had a bit of kick, and they included guacamole and sour cream for free. The biggest downside to this place was the pricing. Maybe the location next to the airport makes it more expensive, but almost $40 spent (including tip) on just the fajitas was rather steep. Would prefer more authentic, cheaper Mexican from some hole in the wall places. read more

Our family goes to Chuy's pretty regularly. The kids love it, especially when they have the Nacho Car available. The Margaritas are decent and the food is always hot and comes out quick. The prices are good as well. It's a solid, reliable choice for us when we feel like eating out. I've never felt compelled to write a review but we had some excellent service recently and it stepped the whole experience up a notch. We came in on New Year's Day for lunch and Zamyra took care of us. She was so friendly and thoughtful. The service is always nice, but she was excellent. We are looking forward to returning soon. read more

So me and my wife decided to try this place out because my brother had recommended it to me. First off when we arrived the place was nearly packed to the brim, regardless of this we were escorted by a hostess to a private booth almost as soon as we walked in, the waiter was prompt friendly and seemed to be able to answer any question we shot at him, so we decided to let him pick our food, he recommended the fajitas for two which I have to admit we're a smash hit. Delicious Mexican food at a reasonable price read more

I had an amazing experience all thanks to our server Craig. It was my family's first time here and they accommodated our party of 12 smoothly. We were seated outside so of course with Florida heat it can be dreadful but all thanks to the staff they were able to put tables and umbrellas together so sun didn't ruin our Easter lunch. The food was delicious. When we were seated we received some chips and salsa highly recommend the queso to add it was bomb! I got the carne guisada tacos which were 9.89 which was well worth the money. The tortilla's that come with the meal are made fresh and delicious. The Meal also comes with your choice of rice and beans I decided to get the Mexican style rice and refried beans. Comes with pico, lettuce, cheese and guacamole. I highly suggest you add sour cream on the side because it truly brings the tacos to pure perfection. Overall Craig's service was fast, kind and helpful! Thank you chuys for making Easter oh so special! read more

I've really tried to like this place, the atmosphere is great, music is always fun but the food is just meh. I've tried multiple dishes and every time I am disappointed. It's as if a hospital made a Tex-Mex buffet one day and boom Chuy's was born. Someone needs to come in and completely overhaul the menu and give this thing a new flavor. Sorry, but it's true. read more

This is our go-to spot after Disney and on our way home. We have always received fantastic service and the food is amazing. I wish we had a Chuy's in Flagler County. (Chuy's, are you hearing me?) read more

Earlier in the year, we missed our chance for Cinco de Mayo; but, since we do not drinking too much, we managed lunch the following day instead while running errands. My wife ordered the crispy taco platter and I had the stacked enchiladas. Her three tacos were terrific. The hand-made tortillas are fried; and, stuffed with tasty meat, cheese, lettuce, and pico de gallo. However, the sauce on my enchiladas had too much citrus.. it was simply cloying. I added some of the hatch chile salsa verde (hoping to spice it up;) and. that was much better. Our server was terrific; very attentive; and, accommodating. We always start with the fried tortilla chips and salsa, trying a new sauce every visit! Drinks were refilled as necessary, with a to-go cup of lemonade for me as we exited. read more

While visiting in Orlando, my daughter wanted Mexican for her birthday dinner. We yelp'd Mexican and this came up with rave reviews. My sister Alonso worked there but in Texas and she only said good things as well. We were all pleasantly surprised. We everything we ordered was delicious. We orders #1 & #6 combination plates.y kids ordered the crispy tacos kids plates. It came with 3 mini (but good size) crispy tacos and nice serving of rice and beans. Enchiladas tasted like home, tacos were great, chicken chalupa was perfect. And the chips and fresh salsa was amazing. Margaritas were great as well just needed a little more alcohol. Dis fruta! read more

Chuy's - Margarita swirl - Mexican Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Why 5 Stars? Cuz we loved it that much! The Semoran location is under a month old and we hear they are looking at space around Waterford Lakes. Now why we loved it so much...Fresh,Fresh,Fresh. The salsa is not from a jar and you can definitely taste the veggies. Though mild at first after a few bites you'll feel the heat. My Only dislike is the paper thin chips which will crack n crumble with every dip into your salsa. Arturo was our server and was the Best! Super attentive but not rushy. Drinks filled, questions/recommendations taken care of. He even suggested that go EZ on the chips because the portions are ridiculous and he did not disappoint. Wifey had the chicken & steak fajitas and it was flav-A-ful! I went with the Oven Roasted Chicken Burrito and it awesome! Arturo asked what sauce did I want it smothered in and since they all sounded great I opted for the Hatch and Green Chili both on the side instead of on the burrito. Worked perfect since I could go back n forth with my sauce + add it too the Mexican rice which is usually dry. This location has a patio which I forsee being busy on nice evenings. Now seriously, when are you coming to Waterford Lakes? read more

I've been to Chuy's twice now and I'm in love. I always forget that this exists, but how can I now that I've fallen in love with their delicious creamy ranch dipping sauce!? They bring out chips and salsa, but they won't bring out the ranch sauce unless you ask for it! I think my mother and law and I had about 5 servings of that alone. It's just so heavenly. For my main dish I got the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and it's soooo YUM! It's very hot and spicy but I love it that way, so if you can take a little heat, then this is for you! The lovely waitress at this location was awesome. I'm so sad I forget her name...might be Linda, but I don't remember. Well, thank you, whoever you are, for keeping our ranch sauce refilled! read more

We live 4 miles from a Chuy's in Katy, Tx. and when we seen this one by our motel we couldn't get there fast enough. Love their food, absolutely love their jalapeno ranch dip. We have many places We like to eat when in Orlando but now with Chuy's we are going to have to squeeze in a couple three times more on each visit read more
