    We came here for dinner one night and we liked it. The chips were pretty good and i liked the ranch and queso dips. I got the cheese quesadillas and fries. The cheese quesadillas were good and the fries were solid. Our waitress was friendly and doing a good job. The ambiance was interesting and had decorations that stood out like hubcaps on the ceiling in one room. I recommend coming here with friends.

    On the plus side-- service was good and my steak burrito was pretty good! I really enjoyed the tres leches cake too since it wasn't too sweet :) but some fresh berries would've improved it. For cons side-- rice was half cooked so I lot of the grains were hard in the middle. You can kind of see it in the pic. Also, The bathroom was pretty dirty which always makes me think about how clean the kitchen is kept. So overall, average experience.

    This is your average Tex Mex joint located within the hustle and bustle of international drive. Food is okay, but I prefer the more authentic stuff but once again, this is Tex Mex. Sadly the service was... not that great. Our waitress was not attentive and she would say she would be "right back" and disappear for quite some time. Their queso and the house white sauce (can't remember what it was called) were the stars of the show.

    I was so excited to visit Chuy's in Orlando after falling in love with their Miami location (only to have it close less than a year after opening). So naturally, eating here was high on my to-do list while on vacation, and I'm happy to report: it did not disappoint! The food was just as amazing as I remembered: fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Their salsa has the perfect spicy kick, and I am completely addicted to their tomatillo sauce, especially on the enchiladas. Pro tip: you can order items à la carte, which made my second visit even more customized and delicious. Yes, I ate here twice during my trip, because the experience was that good. The atmosphere is bright, quirky, and fun...totally Chuy's. Even for a chain, the service and quality was exceptional. Big kudos for the silent drink and chip refills. I'm genuinely grateful I got to revisit a spot I had such a strong connection to. Here's hoping they bring Chuy's back to Miami (please, Kendall needs you!). Until then, I'll be dreaming about my next trip to Chuy's.

    Super fun experience at this Chuy's!! They was mostly due to our awesome service Alexis! He was so fun and personable and knew how to have a good time. We joked with him about a "grande" coke and he brought an entire pitcher for 1 person haha!! He was so great and attentive!! The food was equally as good, I never had a bad experience at Chuys. It's actually the only place I can find HATCH Green Chili sauce! No where else has it and I loveeee getting the enchiladas with the hatch green chili on it! Rice and beans here are always amazing as well. Always a top pick for me to come here when I want good enchiladas and a margarita! Get a frozen one!

    Chuy's Tex-Mex is a family favorite! My parents and I come here a couple of times a month, and it never disappoints. We usually go for an early lunch, and we're always seated quickly. The service is consistently great--friendly, attentive, and efficient. One of the highlights is definitely the chips--they're thin, crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. And if they don't automatically bring the white sauce with the salsa, ask for it! It's creamy, tangy, and totally addictive. On this visit, I had the Elvis Memorial Combo. Everything on the plate was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying--it's such a generous portion that I always end up taking half of it home. My parents ordered the chicken Chuychanga, which they loved. It came out hot, crispy, and packed with delicious flavor. Chuy's continues to be one of our go-to spots for great Tex-Mex and quality time together. We'll definitely keep coming back!

    Chuys has one pf the beat Mexican food in orlando. Their boom boom sauce is a must try. Everything we ordered came with veggies beans and rice. The enchiladas were great, tacos were super filling and the chille relano was excellent. Our server was new at the outlet but pretty sweet. We ended our meal with tres leches which was so good. The place reminds you of mexico with all the colors n stuff

    Was able to get our big party seated fairly quickly! Service was ok, server wasn't too engaged but the food was amazing!

    Stoped in here for a quick bite. Was feeling for Tex-Mex food. Food was exactly what we expected, Tex Mex (your standard dishes). I opted for the chicken flautas and my husband had the fajita quesadilla. The sauces were all flavorful and they had an extensive menu option. Service was great! Our waiter was attentive. The restaurant looks a little run down inside, could use a little more cleanup but not completely terrible. 8/10 food

    Came here on a Sunday night and was relieved that there was no wait time (even though the restaurant was packed). The service was quick and the waitress was attentive. The portion sizes are huge which is great for sharing or for having leftovers. I love that they give you the chips and salsa while you wait for your food - the jalapeño ranch dip is A++++ in my book! For a party of 2, we ordered the chicken ponchos which is enough on its own as a meal. I then ordered the fajita steak/beef bowl. It was my first time ordering it and I think it may be my new go-to. The steak was perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend getting this! Also, it's a very family friendly place at a really convenient location for those going to the parks.

    There's all kinds of interesting things in the eclectic decor at Chuy's, including Kirk Douglas, Donna Reed and Fred Astaire.

    There aren't a lot of places in Florida with Tex-Mex fare like we used to get in Dallas. After the Chevy's locations closed in Orlando, we were glad to find Chuy's had come to town. In the past we've had really good experiences at other Chuy's in Jacksonville and Orlando, but our first visit to this one on International Drive was an exception. It was a Saturday night and the place was jammed so we knew service might be slower than usual. At Chuy's the silverware comes in small paper bags but one of ours was missing a fork. It took over 10 minutes to get a waitress back to our table to let them know we needed one, and even after making that request one was never brought. The food was also not up to the quality we expected. Hoping for better if we give them another try.

    Cheese enchiladas with double rice
    Annie N.

    Chuy's is a local Mexican chain restaurant, and this one is my favorite location. This one is located on International Drive next to the Escape Game. I have been here many times with my husband, family and friends and we have always had a great experience. They have a really fun vibe with lots of colors, pictures of doggies everywhere and hubcaps on the ceiling. They have booths and tables and seating at the bar as well, along with seating outside. If you go early you can be seated quickly. If it gets later into dinner you are going to wait. I don't mind waiting because they have a bar and what's better with Mexican food than a Margarita! They are so good and can be really large! I love the frozen Mango Margarita. They start you off with chips and salsa. I also asked for creamy jalapeno sauce instead of the salsa. The creamy jalapeno is spicy but I love it and use it on everything! I usually order the same thing, cheese enchiladas with the Tex Mex sauce. This comes with two enchiladas with cheese and the sauce of your choice along with beans and rice. YUM OH! I don't like refried beans, so I always get double rice. Tip: add the creamy jalapeno sauce and ask for extra cheese and add both to the rice!! That combination for me is so delicious. I have also had the fajitas (steak and chicken), and the tortilla soup. Everything is really delicious. I have never had a bad meal here. Everything tastes so fresh and comes out hot and is really just delicious. My parents always get the fajitas (they have for 1 or for 2) and share them. They come with the standard fajita toppings along with beans and rice. My husband always gets the salad which is loaded with chicken and vegetable toppings, as well as cheese and avocado. It is more on the healthier side, but it is really good. Their tortillas are made fresh, with an employee hand rolling and cooking them in the restaurant. I am a big fan of Mexican food, and yes this is a chain with locations around, but it is a really great chain. Everything is fresh, it tastes awesome and is just really good! You definitely need to try it. It does get busy in the evening so you might have to wait but it is worth it. I really like this location, the staff is always great and friendly, the food is delicious, the parking lot is pretty large but again it can get crowded. This is a great location on International Drive.

    Disclaimer: this review is for the lunch buffet only…read more I went with my family to try the $18.49 all you can eat lunch buffet. This was my first time experiencing a buffet for hispanic food and for this price point in Orlando, this is an amazing value deal. The server regularly brought us out silverware, napkins, and refilled our water. The place is decorated very fun and plays latin music which was lovely Not only was there an unlimited assortment of lunch foods, but an entire bar of fresh toppings for tacos (or rice bowls) and made to order desserts which were included for free! Not everything on the buffet line was the best but given the amount of options, price, and how good the great items are this is still worth a five star rating. I unfortunately did not take pictures of the food before I began devouring everything in sight to the point of near-collapse, but I will do a quick rundown of the buffet highlights: The best meats were the fajita steak, chicken, and shrimp made fresh in cast iron skillets, as well as the chicken lengua which was super flavorful and tender. The mexican rice, beans, fajitas, plantains, and street corn were also excellent. Fresh quesadillas, chips, and corn tortillas on standby with homemade queso and salsas. The flan and mini churros were the best I've ever had. Super rich, decadent Carmel flan. Mini churros hot and crisp on the outside, filled with a gooey soft milk chocolate center. They were delicious. Items that were disappointing: the tamales, mini chicken flautas, and beef chimichangas were just okay, lacking the seasoning and flavor that other dishes had. The beef barbacoa was not as tender or flavorful as the shredded chicken surprisingly. The mixed seafood was itself a mixed bag with some shrimps / scallops overcooked to much while others were perfectly cooked. The chicken mole and beef tri tip were room temperature despite sitting on hot plates. The tri tip also varied widely in doneness throughout the slices and not super tender. The rice pudding was pretty standard, and the tres leches cake was weird as they crumbled the cake into pieces before soaking it.

However, I would recommend leaving some extra time because my experience has varied in terms of speed of service. Make sure you know what you want to order if you're going to a show and be ready.

    I love when Cinco De Mayo comes each year - tacos and tequila are two of my favorite things!…read moreHowever, one thing I do not love is long wait times for seating. This year I told my honey the only way I would go out was if we found a place that excepted reservations. In return, I accepted that it was most likely not going to be an extraordinary, authentic, or a gem of a place. My first experience at Solita turned out to be what I manifested. Upon entering the restaurant, vibes were in full effect. No mariachi band as I would have hoped, but the but the energy in the room was happy and festive. They had a DJ providing music, but it was so loud that when our waitress read us their specials, I literally told her I could not hear her. She did greet us with salsas, chips, and these little wheels I read a lot about. They had a similar texture to a chicharron and were simply delightful! Probably my favorite component I sampled all night. Since I had never been to Solita, I checked out Yelp to do my research. One thing I was excited to try was their "Duckie Frozé". It had Rosé, fruit purée, frozen margarita with your choice of flavor: watermelon, pomegranate, or guava. Adorning the top of the drink was a darling little rubber duckie. There are TONS of pictures of this drink on Yelp. Much to my surprise, my drink arrived with NO DUCK. When I asked the waitress about it, she shrugged it off said they "don't do that anymore". It may sound like a small thing to be disappointed about, but really that was just the start. Luckily, Cinco was on Tuesday this year, so we were able to order from the "Taco & Tequila Tuesday" discounted menu. We started off with the Grilled Corn Elote which is served tableside. I thought this would be cool, but it wasn't. It was a bit painful watching the waitress struggle to shave the corn off. I almost wanted to offer help! After all that, the corn was just ok. I personally think the Elote I make at home is better. Thankfully this was on the Tuesday Menu also making it only $5. While perusing their selections prior to going, I felt that their taco prices were a bit steep. They have two types of taco sizes. The Street Tacos looked itty bitty with next to nothing on them. They do have a lot of flavor choices (11), and you get 3-4 tacos for about $20. Glad I saw photos of these on Yelp beforehand. Then they have Tacos Locos. They are described as "One large taco" when in fact they are just regular sized tacos overflowing in toppings. Just ONE Tacos Locos costs about $15! I think the pricing is loco, and based off what we'd tried so far, I was certain to only order from the Tuesday menu. We were able to get a Shrimp Chicharron for $6 and a Vampiro (Chicken or Carnitas) for $8. The shrimp one was appetizing. I even remember thinking after the first few bites that I should have just gotten two of those. Then I tried a piece of chicken from my Vampiro. It was a piece of straight fat that I immediately spit out. That pretty much killed it for me, and I didn't even eat anymore of the Vampiro or anything else for that matter. The positives of the evening included: -Getting into a spot to celebrate on Cinco De Mayo -The food came out quicker than expected based on the reviews -Trying a new restaurant and learning that it's nowhere I will be returning to or recommending. Knowledge is power.

    San Jose's is a wonderful Mexican restaurant located in a strip mall just north of Lake Buena Vista…read morein the southern part of Orlando. I believe they have several locations in the area, and this is a newer one with very welcoming and modern interiors. They have wonderful daily specials and various happy hour periods that extend from 2 to 10 PM, including $3 tacos from 8 until 10 PM. Meals start off with complimentary chips and salsa (4.5/5), which are happily refilled upon request. We tried a variety of tacos (5/5) which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The vegetarian San Jose's fajita bowl (4.5/5) was tasty and served in a generous portion that is ideal for sharing. The cheese quesadilla (5/5) hit all the fresh flavor notes without the cheese being too sharp in taste. The churros (5/5) were the perfect dessert, having a slightly crunchy exterior and softer core as you bit into it. We loved the food and atmosphere so much that we visited twice the same week while visiting the Orlando area. Service (4.5/5) was excellent on our first visit, and slightly slower on our 2nd visit, but still incredibly friendly with management checking in on customers to make people were enjoying their meals. Overall, I'd rate the food and experience a 4.5/5, but happy to round up since San Jose's is right up my alley for an ideal Mexican meal that is delicious and doesn't gouge you with prices like other restaurants tend to do. I'll gladly return on future trips to the Orlando area and will be recommending them to others, as San Jose's would crack my rotation of a Mexican restaurants I'd regularly visit if I lived locally.
