The food was okay. I ordered the chika chika boom boom enchiladas and they were decent. The deluxe tomatillo salsa however was the bomb.com. Service however was subpar. Our server Sammy took forever to take our drink order, hardly checked in, and I had to ask another server for our water refills. I've worked in the restaurant industry before so I tend to be rather lax when it comes to servers especially when it's rush hour but when you have about two parties in your section after lunch hour I'd expect service to be more attentive. read more

Horrible!! I'm a huge chuys lover but the one in Pasadena is just gross. I went on opening night because why not. I understood the staff would've been slow. The food though so gross. Again all other chuys delicious. This one is not up to par. It scarred me and I haven't eaten chuys since. I will make the drive into Houston to get some of that ranch sauce. Hopefully they it together. read more

We have been going to Chuy's for years. When we first started going the closest one to us was in the Woodlands. We became regulars. Finally opened one closer to us in Webster, and we then became regulars there, because like the Woodlands the food and service was great. And finally they opened one here in Pasadena, just a very short jaunt from home, and like all Chuy's great food and service. Dinner Nirvana.... read more

Service was terrible & no one was even in the bar. Shannon waited on me. I had to get up & get my own Dr. Pepper from another server. My food was cold & nasty. Will not be back. Did not even taste like Tex-mex. Even the chips were cold. Service lacking. read more

Means my husband and father in law came to eat and there were maybe 10 family's in restaurant and waitress was no were to be found when I need some thing asked several people that wasn't busy and I still waited and there were a bunch of employees in the back doing nothing food was good service was bad read more

Cutsomer service was very good. Waitress was very lovely. The food, however, was not the best. Reminded me of the food served at school. Very disappointed. read more

Quick recap after three visits: Margaritas are weak and when we request no salt, they always bring it with salt. Don't ever send a drink back, they'll remove the salt with their fingers and give it back to you. If you request an extra floater, they'll forget. Service is friendly but extremely inaccurate, inconsistent and forgetful. I've been overcharged two out of three visits. On one visit we were overcharged, waited forever to get it corrected then discovered the adjustment was still incorrect. The food is above average. Everything pertaining to the kitchen has been adequate. It appears the Front of the restaurant, wait staff, bartenders, food runners, etc simply are not adequately trained. I'll skip this place for a good while, hopefully they iron out these issues before they go out of business. Good luck! read more

I have too say the service at this location is amazing. I did a to go order and was so impressed. Super amazing service especially Heather. She was amazing. She took care of my whole order made sure we had everything we needed and was super friendly. I ordered the Chimichanga or Chuychanga. It was amazing! I have always loved Chuy's. It is one of my all time favorites. To go orders can be hit or miss with even the best restaurants. That is not the case here. One of the best to go experiences I have ever had. I definitely will be back. read more

Love this place. Awesome happy hour prices with free nacho bar! I hit it up twice a week! Black berry frozen margaritas are the bomb!!! Great food and so many house sauces.... fantastic!! Also we have always had great service, the staff really takes care of you. read more

Love eating at Chuy's! My husband is not a huge fan, but he brings me because I love the chic a chic a boom boom lol. I eat several small bowls if the jalapeño green dip ( my mouth waters) of course I always save room for the tres leches cake only place I will eat tres leches! Our service is always friendly, prompt and delicious. The queso is also one my faves love the taste of Chuy's queso than many Tex mex restaurant. Margaritas are good. My personal opinion you will not be disappointed with Chuy's. read more

Meh. Chuys is Chuys. Tex-Mex Food. Nothing authentic. Been to this location twice and both times orders came out wrong. Slow service. Super overrated. Place was clean but it is new. They get 2 stars cause the drinks are alright. read more

This was the first time that we tried Chuy's and I do have to say that it will probably be the last time. I have to agree with a previous reviewer that stated this was just not the normal TexMex preparation. The Pasadena location is brand new and we thought we would give it a try. The wait when we first arrived was about 20-25 minutes which is not to bad. We were seated and the chips and red salsa arrived and we started to review the menu. Our waitress, Liz, came and asked us for our order. We ordered the queso to start. My hubby decided on the Southwetern and I settled on the crispy tacos. Let me say that the red salsa is a little more spicy than the norm. When another waitress (Cookie) brought a tea refill to the table, she stated that we were missing something, she came back with the green salsa that tasted like ranch dressing to me. Our meals arrived and I can say that we just were not impressed at all by the food. It wasn't horrible, but did not stand out either. We will be heading back to The Don Key down the road just a bit on Spencer. read more

This place is amazing!!! The frozen margarita's are OMGOSH good, their sauces are so yummy, and the tres leches cake is to die for. We had wonderful customer service from both our waiter, John, and the manager, Daniel. Family friendly environment!!! My kids loved this place, and were crazy excited about the neat art they had hanging from the ceilings and walls. My husband loved the idea of a free appetizer in exchange for a framed photo of our family's fur baby. This place is great! read more

We had a late dinner here on Mother's Day... service was great and very friendly staff! Their food was excellent too with generous servings. I would definitely recommend to everyone. read more

We love chuys and have been to other locations quite often but this was our first time at this one.There was a roach in our fajitas....I'm just happy my one year old,who also ate the fajitas,didn't eat the roach.Definitely not coming back. read more

Staff needs to step it up. Hostesses need training. We were only a party of 2 and waited a little over 45min to get some basic tacos and enchilada plates. Come to find out when we looked at the receipt it was because our waitress didn't put the order in until 30 min after we ordered! read more

This is the worst Chuy's I've ever been too. The food is not the same as the others and the staff needs training. I could go into detail, but bad service is still bad service. Was excited that it was close to home, but now we won't be returning. read more

We won't be going back to this Chuy's location. Due to Pasadena's boil water edict, our waitress told us that our drink options were a bottle of water or tea. We ordered the water. Imagine our surprise, when our bill included a $24 charge for 8 "Dasani" waters. PROBLEMS ARE: FIRST: The water was not Dasani. It wasn't even a wal mart brand of water. Cheapest bottled water you can buy. A CASE of that water didn't cost $2.50. They charged $3.00 per bottle. SECOND: Our waitress never told us she was charging $3.00 per bottle. Feeling seriously ripped off From now on, we'll drive on down to the Friendswood location read more

if I could I would rate this place a 0, first time and only time I went I got food poisoning and it was not a good experience. Waiter wasn't very attentive, poor service read more

Well we decided to stop by and try the"Chuy's" by the house. Well let's just say zzzzzzz boring nothing exciting. The best part of the meal was the chips. That's it. Just the chips. The wait staff was friendly and did I mention the chips? So u get the picture if u want an below average meal with a friendly staff come by, it's almost like a "casa ole". read more

I have ordered two to go orders and both were wrong. I called to speak with a manager about the mixup the second time and was put on hold for over 10 minutes. I thought maybe they forgot about me so I hung up and called back. She said sorry but she did not know where the managers are but could take down my number to have one of them call me back. I told her don't bother. Food is poor unless you like the taste of over powering chilli powder in your food with the service being just as bad. Much better options in the area for Mexican food. read more

Very good. Salsa's were awesome!!! Especial li y the white one. Servers did great given we had 20+ people.

Always have really good service and the food is great. Love the jalapeño dip and the margaritas!

This place is bustling with people who are willing to try something authentic. They accommodated our group on time without reservation. The let down is pretty similar tex-mex but a little upgrade compared to their competition. read more

We have only been here twice. Both times we had trouble getting the right food. Today, we had a party of seven. 5 out of the 7 orders were wrong. It took 3 tries to get mine right. The waitress was sweet and apologetic, but no manager came by. read more

Everything is overloaded with chili powder and basically tasted the same. The fajita meat is good but the enchilada Tex mex sauce was loaded with chili powder and over powered the whole dish. The green sauce wasn't green and tasted like ranch dressing. All of our dishes came out at different times. Very disappointing. Manager was excellent and comped 2 of our meals and brought us a tres leches dessert for free. Just need to work out the service and the recipes. read more

For all the frills and the ambience that they put on their their food is just OK. I've had better and I've had worse. But the nice thing is this restaurant is consistent. So you always know what you're going to get. So you don't come having any really bad experiences. read more

Chuy's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Pasadena, Texas

See all

This is an example of really bad food. Not just bad Tex-Mex, but horrible food in general.

I love Chuy's and had only been to the Webster location but I'm glad they opened one by me in Pasadena. The food here is always good and I LOVE their green sauce and chips! There was a big crowd the evening my husband and I went so it took a long time to get our food. We enjoyed dinner though so it was okay. read more

Ok this is heavenly! Some kinda good even when a busy hour. The creamy jalapeño sauce delish service outstanding

Food was amazing and the staff was top notch. The steak burrito with the hatch chile sauce was delicious and had a nice heat to it. My wife had the southwestern enchiladas with queso and a fried egg, very good as well. 5/5 will definitely will come again. If you like tex mex come try this place out. read more

I'm not giving them 5 stars only because I'm sad I couldn't have my chicken and spinach enchiladas on a Tuesday (it's a Monday special). :( This place is AMAZING, constantly craving their Mexican rice and refried beans. It's my go-to place for dinners with friends and family and they're super quick! Only takes about 15 minutes to get your food out to you! And that's when their busy.. all in all, I love this restaurant and will always come back! read more

It's classic Chuy's, like the Austin eatery, new local, our experience was great service and good tex mex. My husband and I had the taco salad with creamy jalepeno dip. We have been 3 times. We also have tried the cheese enchiladas which were very tasty. The salsa is not consistent, some days its more watery or too spicy for my taste. read more

Great food & hours (for Pasadena) & nice service. The frozen margaritas are great & their verde sauce is a new favorite. Service & sopapillas were great too. We will be back for happy hour :) read more

My wife and I ate there for lunch today. We had the chicken fajitas and split them. You get rice and beans also. An order for one is really plenty of food for two people. The food was outstanding. The restaurant is practicing separation of customers and is very clean. Service was outstanding also. read more

LOVE this place!!! This is our go to spot for lunch. Glad we finally got one close to us! Staff is friendly and helpful.

I've been to this location twice now and I have been pleasantly surprised! I found that the queso is not only great by itself, but adding the "hatch" sauce makes it amazing! The house margs are good and cheap. Definitely a different spin on tex mex, but I really really enjoy it! read more

This is a very trendy chain out of Austin. It has lost some of its charm now hat it is a large chain. The food is good but not as good as jimmy Changas in my opinion. Most of the dishes are way too spicy. read more

Really good staff and I had a great time. But I'm very picky when it comes to my Mexican food. Food tasted great but it was out of my comfort zone. I will go back because I love the Chile con queso the most. read more

Went here about 3 weeks after it opened. The food is different from most Mexican food places, and not in a good way. The green ranch salsa is ok at first but too rich for me. Won't be returning. read more
