Happy hour queso turned into dinner. The queso was and chips were good. Our entrees were all attractive and well presented. We had a chuychanga, beef tacos and taco salad. Our server David was excellent-just the right amount of attentiveness! My husband loves to get dessert - there are only two dessert options. He ordered the mini churros- they dragged an otherwise pleasant meal way down. You could tell by looking at them they were greasy but being a good sport I took a bite. Oozed grease and yet very dense in the center. I love sweets and yet could only eat half. In a word , gross. If we do come back trust that we will not get dessert and will probably stop at queso. read more

I've been eating at chuys since I was a teenager over 30 years ago. What has happened to this restaurant since selling out is absolutely pathetic. The menu, the value, and the quality is TERRIBLE... You took a very simple and fun concept to the point of no return. I will definitely not return. Even our waiter agreed there has been a massive decline. It's obvious when you walk in a little before 7pm and can set sat right away. The place used to be packed. Is that not a sign??? You should have to remove "burritos as big as yo face" from your menu, it's far from true. Call it a "bean burrito with a few pieces of under seasoned meat" that is lightly sauced and lifeless. What a crying shame! RIP Chuy's forever! read more

Ok, Chuy's is a chain but hear me now: NOT ALL CHAINS ARE BAD. Chuy's definitely is not bad, not bad at all. Food is seasoned nicely and you can find something you'll enjoy on its well-edited (ie - not pages and pages) menu. I was pleasantly surprised by the soft tacos. Simple meat and lettuce, with other toppings on the side. It wasn't an Americanized cheese and calorie fest. HOWEVER if you are interested in the calories, get thee to the daily happy hour, which includes a giant queso/salsa (including ground meat so you can make your own heavy loaded nachos) bar. That plus drink specials makes for a happy wind-down to the day. read more

You discontinued the Chile Rellenos. That was my only go to plate. You made the best in the state. No longer do tamales as well. Upsetting. Please bring Chile Rellenos back. read more

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

Me and my coworkers had a great time visiting chuy's about a half dozen times. Don't sleep on this place, it's totally worth it. We tried to many things it's hard to pinpoint favorites. Always came out great and delicious. This is the spot big portions, great food, very authentic. It gets really busy so get there early. Their nacho bar is awesome, their cheese was my favorite to dip my food in. There will be a line so expect that. read more

Chuy's - Nachos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Plano, Texas

Ask for BB! She is truly the best server I've ever had in the Dallas area! She's on it with drinks and has such a kind smile and just makes you feel important and isn't too chatty. (Had to start with her recommending her first as she made our first experience perfect. ) Thank you BB!! Oh my GOSH! I'm sold! The menu covered all my Tex Mex favs and I found the perfect Chimichanga! That baby was visually perfect and ohhhh myyyy it was perfectly crunchy on the outside and CHUY on the inside! Covered in Queso!!!! Flavor!! Spot on! Tender chicken!! The chips and sauce are spicy and light! I'm just thrilled to have found my new TEX Mex place. Hubby had the pork tacos and thought the use of red chili spice vs a green chili verde was unique and loved them enough to say he would definitely want to come back. The vibe is fun, the managers are on it and the staff seem like they realllllllly are working hard and in a Groove. All the frozen drinks flying by looked amazing and I can't wait to go back again. Prices are great! read more

Where to begin, there is nothing on the menu that you can't enjoy. I recommend getting a side of the jalapeño ranch with whatever you order and of course a margarita! Great atmosphere, smiling faces, and amazing decor to look at. read more

Chuys has always been my favorite restaurant and when I moved to plano I was excited that there was one right next to my house. I was ready to frequent it and went there for my birthday and was dissapointed. The staff looked like they didn't want to be there, the energy was low, and I asked if they could do something for my birthday and they said they don't do anything for birthdays which has not been my experience in other chuys. Not even a happy birthday song. From the reviews, it seems like service has we down at this location and I would agree. They lost a loyal patron today. read more

First off, we're huge Chuy's fans, and have been for years. We've been to numerous locations in many different cities. This evening we visited this location in Plano, off of 75. The food was amazing as always. From the enchiladas, to the kids meal, and the taco salad. This review is mainly for the customer service though. Our server was Hannah A. Long story short, she is AMAZING!! She smiled the entire time we dined, between our table and others as well. Her attitude is to die for in the customer service( food service industry, even more). Please, Hannah, stay positive, and keep smiling!! Keep up the great work, and thank you!! read more

Great place for Sunday pregame lunch! Service was excellent- thanks Jas! Had the combo fajitas for two - excellent as always! read more

Chuy's - Busy place - Tex-Mex Near Me - Plano, Texas

This location has the best food and the best service. We had Tori and RJ as our waitress and waiter. Tori let me sample 3 different margaritas to find something I loved. She was so attentive and her personality was so bubbly and outgoing. She was at our table very frequently, making sure we had refills and everything we needed. RJ was finishing his training and was absolutely amazing! He has a very pleasant attitude. He always made sure the table was clear of plates and refills were taken care of. His personality was so charming and he was great with our children. Overall, I wish every visit was with Tori and RJ. The food is always good, but the service made our visit unforgettable. read more

Wow, what a really cute upbeat trendy restaurant! Super busy for an afternoon lunch, but plenty of places to sit. Very impressed with the service and food. Our server Missy was super efficient and friendly. I really liked the green chile hatch salsa and chips! For entrees we ordered the chicken flautas with chipotle sauce and the southwestern enchilada with a fried egg on top. Both were extremely delicious and full of flavor. Lunch for two of us was only $22...cant beat the price for the awesome food! I definitely want to go back soon! Loving all the amazing food in TX!!! read more

The food was fantastic! Most of all the service was excellent. The waiter was named Cameron and he deserves a 5 star rating. He was very attentive to our needs and quite jovial. One of the better customer service skilled individuals I have met In a very long time. Thank you Cameron. Dorothy Polk and her daughter Ashleyn Lane read more

Went here to try it out after wife checked Yelp for tex mex places. I had the crispy taco platter which 3 tacos are given Shells were nice and firm. Meat was almost tasteless. Had the nachos on the side. I found them very tasty. Margaritas weren't bad either. read more

In town for business and found this location. Just as good as the original downtown location I visited 30 years ago.

I used to love Chuy's. The food used to be delicious and authentic. Fresh made tortillas, chips, salsa, etc. Now it seems everything is store bought and taste stale. The salsa tasted watered down and my burrito's tortilla was hard (inedible) along the edges. I was very disappointed with the food, but our server, Jorge was great. read more

Review is directed to Justin, the "Manager" of this location. Having been RAISED in the restaurant business, I can safely say that my Dad would've FIRED any manager who chose to have an EMPLOYEE MEETING in a booth adjacent to a PAYING CUSTOMER when the place was nearly EMPTY!!! Especially one who seems to speak just hear hear his own voice. Shaking my head in disgust... GET A CLUE. read more

Since I was in town for just a few days, I needed Mexican food and I needed it now! I looked on yelp and found Chuy's. I asked the waitress to recommend a meal, and she said the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Along with their free chips and salsa, and a beer, it was awesome. I was very impressed with the food, and service. I'll definitely be back when I'm back in the area next! read more

Chuys is an interesting place. Not fully New Mex not fully Tex Mex. it is However very popular and the food is pretty good. Thanks to YELP! I was able to start a reservation for the wait. The drinks at the bar were excellent. And effective too! Just what I was needing. Their chips and salsa/pico aren't my fave so I tread lightly. I did have very delicious steak fajitas with all the fixins including my preferred corn tortillas. I wasn't as hungry as I thought so most of it came home and was a great reheat. ( the couple of Rita's mighta has something to do with it! :) and yes I had a DD. It was a nice change of flavor as we were in the area aren't usually over there. The service from hostess stand- bartenders - service was awesome!!! Very refreshing. read more

Took a little while to get seated but that's expected on a Friday night. Our server Steph was really nice, really fast to get what my husband and I what we wanted/needed. The food is really filling and the taste was great, the prices were really reasonable too. My husband and I did order Mojito's and the lady who made our drink didn't crush up the leaves very well and my husband ended up choking on it a bit but we took care of that. The Sopapillas were awesome, didn't really have the room for one in my stomach but ended up shoving it in there anyways. The environment is really well put together, I love the decorations and vibe of the place and it's really clean other then the pile of paper towels overleaping in the bathroom. Keep up the good work over there. read more

I really like Chuy's! This is a Tex Mex restaurant in Plano my family frequents at least once per week, and I have heard many good things about it. We came here Tuesday night, and it was packed. It was about a thirty minute wait for a table of 9. Our server brought out two baskets of chips and salsa. We also ordered some queso. Everything on the menu looked really good. I was debating between the fajitas and the chicka-chicka boom boom, which is a chicken enchilada in a spicy sauce. I picked the latter, and glad I did! I had a taste of my dad's steak fajita. It was good but I liked my entree better. Service was good. The staff kept refilling our chips and beverages. The food came out pretty quickly as well. I would definitely be back! read more

First time I had ever heard/seen of Chuy's was in Austin. I came here with a group of 8-10 people with as little notion as possible what I experienced in Austin. Being in Dallas for quite some time, I noticed that many cuisines start homogenizing and soon everything tastes the same. This is like going shopping for fragrances or paints: Everything blends after awhile. When we got to Chuy's, there was a 2 hour wait. I thought to myself "Wow, this is a long wait. Who in their right mind would wait this long?" We were actually seated within an hour next to the room with all the hubcaps on the ceiling. The atmosphere brought me back to a time when life was free and you didn't get stared at for just people watching. Festive, colorful, and full of life is what describes the atmosphere of both the restaurant itself and the waitstaff. We had a diverse group of diners and our waitress, Tiffany, kept up with each and every one of our orders. I was impressed. The restaurant filled up to capacity at one point and Tiffany kept up with the pace. She constantly came back to check up on us. Almost at the right interval each time, like she had the sixth sense of waiting tables. Amazing to say the least. I had the hatch chicken enchiladas which was the Friday night special along with a frozen margarita. The chicken was dry yet moist. This is the perfect combination in my books. Slightly dried on the outside that was moistened ever so slightly by the heat wrapped into the enchilada. Then moist/tender/flavorful on the inside. The salsa and jalapeno dipping sauce with chips was an excellent compliment to the night's festivities. I always look for that hidden taste. Something that ignites my senses or takes me back in time. Many Tex-Mex dishes can be overpowering with spices, cheese and sauces. Definitely not at Chuy's. I have learned over the years to take smaller bites and savor what the chef has offered on my plate. Chuy's does an excellent job. If you don't have time to wait to be seated, take out is always an option. Skip the sopapillas. They're just not fluffy and bizarrely served in Dairy Queens french fry baskets. Otherwise, go for a good time and leave with a full tummy! A clear winner for both festive drinks and great cuisine! read more

Great place, Delicious Food Awesome service at a fraction of the cost compared to our L.A restaurants

Love this place ! Food is fresh and tastes wonderful. Margaritas not bad either! Would prefer frozen margaritas made with reposado!

Good food, quick service and plenty of room in this restaurant. If you want some great tex mex, you must go here! Chips and fresh salsa is served, ask the server for jalapeño ranch for the chips, you'll thank me later!! I always order their taco salads here, you can order it with fajita chicken, fajita beef or seasoned sirloin steak. I've tried them all, and they are great!! This place is awesome for happy hour, they have a free nacho bar in the bar area. read more

For whatever reason, I was never interested in coming to a Tex-Mex chain restaurant, but hubby wanted to give it a try. Went early evening on a Saturday. We were told 10 minute wait time, I was surprised it was that short considering the amount of other patrons waiting too. But I don't think we even waited a full 5 minutes, so that was good. We were seated in a very snug booth for 2 near the back. The temperature was unbearably cold. The high was only 78 degrees that day, but they had the AC on full blast. Ordered the Queso Compuesto minus the guac to start. I had the crispy tacos with Mexican rice and charro beans. The entire meal was just okay for me, nothing special about any of the dishes. The rice actually tasted kind of old. Server was nice. She came by at one point and said she'd bring me a refill, but never did. A manager stopped by, so she was the one to get the refill. Décor is fun and vibrant. I would only come back to Chuy's if someone I'm with wants to dine there. It's not bad at all, but it's just... okay. read more

This way my first visit to Chuy's ever.... I don't know how that happened because I DEFINITELY should have come here sooner. Great service! Our server was really nice and always came back at the perfect times. We were chatting a lot and he didn't interrupt us. He even asked us if we wanted to just hang out for a while so we never felt pressured to hurry to order or leave. Great food! I got the Baja tacos with shrimp and they were really good. Usually you get like 3 little tiny baby shrimp in a shrimp taco... Not here! There were probably 5-6 large shrimp in 1 taco. We joked about my first bite because it was all shrimp. There wasn't even a little piece missing from the tortilla. And it was a big bite! The shrimp were cooked very well and they were huge. We also got queso with ground beef and the jalapeño ranch as appetizers. Both were great! I would definitely order them again. My only problem is that I liked everything so much I might not venture out into the menu next time. Why mess with perfection?! I'm still thinking about that shrimp taco. Yummm!! read more

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

It's Chuy's...what can I say... The food is great, the wait is long and the margarita's are so-so. If you're gunna get a margarita- do NOT get a simple/basic one- put some $$ behind it so the 'rita will match the meal. good! Top shelves are like $8.00- so more than reasonable. (Not so) hidden gem- Ask for "Creamy Jalapeno" with your chips- it's a must! The mark of a longtime patron and possibly the best part of the meal. Often times I'll call and order sauce and chips to go and grab them on the way home. They're generous with their portions- that's fo'shizzle! (Secret) Once you find out it'll be an hour for a table- look over your shoulder and find a table in the bar area-they're first come, first serve. We always find a table quickly- the menu is the same and the service identical. I think you actually get more elbow room/space in the bar areas. Chuy's food is ALWAYS fast and hot. I'm pretty sure I've eaten at every Comida Delux establishment (in Texas) and had every dish on their menus and never had issues, never. My heart is still in Austin- so I'll love this place no matter, but I do find it to be excellent Tex-Mex compared to other Texas Tex-Mex! read more

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

Fresh Fresh Fresh! Ahhhhhh Fresh! When I think Tex/Mex I think fresh flavors, a mix of textures, and of course a little heat. Chuy's is all that and a dish of creamy jalapeno dressing! The chips are thin and crispy, with not too much salt, they go great with the creamy jalapeno dressing. The salsa is always fresh, and oh so tasty, with a nice bite of heat! The tortillas are house made and go great with the creamy jalapeno dressing. The fajitas are cooked over hot coals that you can smell as soon as you get out of your car. The onions can be a little mushy on the hot skillet but still taste great. The fajitas go great with the creamy jalapeno dressing. I am not a bean guy, so I sub the house salad, it goes great with the creamy jalapeno dressing. The enchiladas are flavorful and above average, I like to put a bit of the creamy jalapeno dressing on top, it goes great with the ooooey goooey cheese. The wait staff are friendly like they enjoy their jobs, and if you ask, he/she may bring you more creamy jalapeno dressing. This Plano location has two other Tex/Mex places in the same complex. My friend and I have bets on how long until they vanish like a bowl of creamy jalapeno dressing. I've been to both of them and they have no creamy jalapeno dressing. So when you have that Tex/Mex bug crawling on your back, go to Chuy's, and if you can remember, try the creamy jalapeno dressing. read more

Dissappointing. It used to be yummy but this location has changed. Cheese enchiladas had very little cheese, the salsa had no flavor and the rice and beans were very chalky and dry. Server was abrupt and in a rush even though it wasn't that busy or late. The blackberry margaritas were great. read more

I went to Chuy's on a recent trip to Dallas through a recommendation of a friend. I dragged my cousin to take me there so we went to the nearby location in Plano. The wait here is usually quite long but we went at the beginning of lunch so there was no wait. We got a booth and began to order. The waiter greeted us and seemed to be on speed or something. He was talking really fast and seemed to be rushing. He was however, very helpful and courteous. I asked for his recommendation and he suggested to get the CHUYCHANGA with steak meat and BOOM BOOM sauce. I took his suggestion and waited. We ended up getting a set of chips and salsa. The chips were really good. Fresh and very light. The salsa however, WOW. The salsa seriously is probably the best that I've ever tasted. Next thing I knew, I downed TWO BASKETS of chips! The wait for the main course wasn't that long. We ended up getting it fairly quickly. It finally comes and I go and dig in. WOW. The flavors on the chimichanga are amazing. I can't really explain the difference between Mexican food and TexMex. Being from San Diego, I'm exposed to a lot of Mexican food. This place ranks up there with some of the best that I've ever had. It's definitely a place that I'm going to go back to when I'm back in Dallas. read more

This is my husband's and my favorite Tex-Mex spot. The decor is funky and eclectic. I've been to the original Chuy's on Barton Springs in Austin and it is true to its origins. We always start with the yummy queso. I am a creature of habit and usually order the same thing. I get the chicken combo with a soft chicken fajita taco and a chicken chalupa. Just those two items make it hard for me to finish my dinner, but they are amazing. I usually add jalapeños to it to add a little heat to the dish. My husband loves the big as your face burrito. He can never finish it, but I think he just likes the name. We have never had bad service or had to wait very long for a table. Fast, friendly, and an easy get in and get out lunch spot. We have come to happy hour here also. They have a nacho bar that is very tasty to soak up your margaritas. The margaritas are STRONG. I can only handle one. read more

I have been here a couple times and have had good and bad experiences. I'm a vegetarian so I recommend getting their cheese enchiladas, cheese quesadillas and the fajitas. They have often messed up my order and brought something with meat, which is why I hesitate to go there. But if I'm craving it, I go there anyways. Their BOOM BOOM SAUCE (queso) is really good but the best is there CREAMY JALAPEÑO sauce. Just ask for it on the side to eat with your chips. If you're going to order the Tex-Mex enchilada (cheese enchilada), the sauce on top has meat in it, so ask them to substitute it with another sauce ( preferably boom boom sauce, but they charge and extra dollar for it read more

My husband and I went there for lunch the other day. It was about 2-3 in the afternoon so the place wasn't very busy. I didn't get our servers name (he was a young black man) but he was so super nice. My husband teases me about how much sugar I sweeten my tea with and our server joked around with us about it. We got the appetizer plate to share. It came with chili con queso, nachos, deluxe quesadillas, chicken flautas, guacamole and sour cream. It was delicious! It was also big, so if you order one, have at least another person or 2 to share it with. My husband ordered a chili festival dish with a cheese chili rellino and chicken enchilada with boom boom sauce. He loved it. The boom boom sauce is so awesome. I had the Elvis Green Chili Fried Chicken. I LOVE THIS DISH!!!!! It is a chicken breast that is coated in Lay's potato chips and fried. I ordered it with boom boom sauce which gives it the right amount of kick. You have to try it, I crave it!! It comes with green chili rice, which I prefer over the regular spanish rice and refried beans. Definite must try!! The service was great and the food was outstanding. read more

i am excited to share this review because I had a recent discovery that I wish I had known about in the past. I have eaten at various Chuy's locations several times and never knew this: Every Monday thru Friday from 4-7, Chuy's has a free "nacho car." Essentially, there is a nacho buffet set up in the restaraunt that has great nacho fixin's and you can help yourself.....for free. i am assuming you'd need to be at least partaking in happy hour drink specials to have access to this. My excitement is two-fold: 1. The nacho fixin's are good, fresh and delicious. Queso cheese, refried beans, guac, salsa and ground sirloin. You fix your own nachos and decide what you want on them.I was really impressed with this. Cool set up. It's called a nacho car because the buffet is designed like the trunk of an old school car. 2. It's free. I think it's cool to have access to GOOD food when it's FREE! read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant. It stared in Austin when I was in school there and now, we're lucky they have franchised it in Dallas. I love the New Mexican Margarita. It's their house margarita, but spiced up with Hatch green chilies and served in a shaker with a martini glass and jalapeno stuffed olives and a lime. They have delicious creamy jalapeno sauce served with the hot sauce if you ask for it. We always get a container to go to snack on during the week. We love their queso. And they have the best corn tortillas of any I've ever had. For entrees, I love their cheese or chicken enchiladas with their boom, boom sauce (queso with extra hatch) and deluxe tomatillo sauce. My husband loves the chimichanga with queso on top. I highly recommend this place. read more

Never thought I would be writing a one star review for chuys, but they've really been skimping out on the burritos recently. It is about half the size it used to be. Cant believe I paid $10 for this, I'm so disappointed as a long term customer. read more

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

After several visits, Chuy's is our absolute favorite for great tex-mex! Living in Texas, there are a lot of choices for tex mex food, and of course there's always the "corporate" tex mex (On The Border, etc), but Chuy's has been the best we've experienced for both great food and service, and our dinner last night was no exception. Word to the wise.... this place is popular - go early or expect to wait a bit. We went at 4pm on a Sunday and it was starting to fill up already. We were greeted promptly by our server (Garrett) who was helpful, attentive and friendly. He brought our drinks and chips/salsa within moments. The tortilla chips were fresh, light and crispy and the salsa has a great fresh taste. Garrett quickly brought us our order of the queso compuesto. It's a tasty appetizer. My wife and I each got combo meals - the #1 Comida Deluxe, and the #2 The Elvis Presley Memorial Combo. The #2 is my Fav. While it doesn't include a fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches (Sorry, Elvis!) is does come with several different varieties of enchiladas, a ground sirloin taco, and tostada chips with queso. If combos aren't your thing, try the fajitas... marinated in Shiner Bock beer, Serrano peppers, lime juices and their secret spices! Amazing! In summary, Everything.... rice, beans, entrees, chips, tortillas.... even the iced tea...they put care into preparing everything fresh and it pays off. Always a great meal!!! read more

My wife and I recently met some friends for dinner here, and overall we enjoyed ourselves. There were a couple of things that knocked the score down, which is a shame because this place has 5 star potential. Overall, everything was great. There was a long wait, which is a good thing because that means the place is good and busy. I usually have a drink at the bar while I wait anyway, and before I could even get to the bar, the bartendress was hustling and greeted us in the wait area and offered to bring us drinks. Excellent work ethic! Right away, something happened that knocked the first star off; no draft beer. Not having drafts isn't necessarily a deal breaker for me, but it better be an extremely divey bar to make up for it. A place this size and this busy should have draft beer, especially a Mexican type of place. Anyway, I opted for a margarita and it was delicious. We were eventually seated and our server was friendly and attentive. Our next round of drinks were great, and when the food arrived everything was cooked correctly and tasty. It was then that another pet peeve of mine occurred and the second star came off; the food came out all at different times. I understand a slight delay because a server or runner can't carry all the food, but having delays of several minutes while everyone else has their food awkwardly is a big no-no to me. We had one kid at the table and his food came much later. Kids' food are fast ticket items that don't take long to make, so there's really no reason for it. To be fair, I'm pretty sure it was not that server's fault, and most likely the kitchen was wrecked, but still, somewhat annoying to the customer. While the food was good, there are plenty of other places that serve Mexican food that have draft beer, and if I had a choice, I'd try elsewhere. That being said, I'd eat here again if I had the chance or if someone else was paying. :D read more
