If you want a blandchillada or have a hankering to drink orange cheese, this is your place. We had a cheese/guacamole/beef dip as an app. It was a little less than ok, but we ate it. I was suspect as soon as I saw the orange nacho cheese in the bowl. It tasted like that kind of cheese you can get on nachos at a gas station. Not a great start. My wife ordered some sort of Elvis Memorial combo entree and I got the Comida Deluxe. They both sucked really bad. SUCKED. Bland as hell and 80% comprised of crappy cheese and bland sauce served with a side of bland beans and Elvis's favorite bland rice. The decor was weird in a not-good way. This is what it would look like if Jimmy Buffet bought an On The Border. Our waiter was good and the manager was very understanding when we said we couldn't eat the food. This place was not good. Also, tons of kids. Chuy's is the Mexican Applebee's. read more

Pronounced like "Cheweys," Chuy's is a fast & affordable tex-mex chain and their newest location in Raleigh does not disappoint. I met a friend here for dinner on a Monday night and we were seated immediately. I love the wild decor and the layout of the restaurant--it's separated into many smaller rooms so there are never too many people in your section. As for the food: We split the guac, which tasted very fresh, but could have used an extra punch of flavor...maybe more lime juice or tomatoes? Chips and salsa were excellent. My fish tacos were perfectly cooked and the portion was HUGE...I could barely finish half. I was happy to have some to take home with me for lunch the next day. Splitting the guac + entree, my meal was only $12 before tip. Our server was very sweet, but was so quick with ordering and food that it almost felt like we were being rushed. We were done with dinner & the check within 45 minutes and felt bad holding on to the table to keep chatting. My only other issue is the lack of healthy vegetarian options on their menu. I tend to avoid chain restaurants, but this is great choice for getting your tex-mex fix in the North Hills area. read more

Relocating from Southern California, I was spoiled with lots of good Mexican choices - from authentic to Tex Mex. Since coming to the Triangle, I've been on a months long search to find a good choice locally. Last night, we tried Chuy's in North Hills. After the visit ... still looking. In fact, this was by far the worst experience I've had since moving here. So bad that my companion looked at me and said "We're never coming here again" halfway through the meal. It started well enough - the server was attentive and the chips and salsa were quite good. My first inclination we were in trouble was when a server came by and literally tossed a bowl of baby-vomit looking guacamole on the table. Thankfully she yelled "Guacamole" as she jogged by, else we might not have known what had just been delivered. I swear the guacamole had shredded lettuce in it. From there, it went downhill quickly. My taco salad was dry, sparse, and almost devoid of flavor - save the tortilla which tasted like it was fried in rancid oil. Her stuffed avocado was clearly pre-made, frozen, and microwaved on site. She called it a "turd avocado" and the description looked pretty apt. We choked down what we could, and went elsewhere. read more

I have to say this is bar far my saddest disappointing dining experience in North Hills. Food was just wow in a bad way. I didn't even make it to dinner. We left. The service and attitude was just down right disrespectful. I never give a bad rating like this. This place really just blew my mind in a bad way. Servers could care less about customer service and the kitchen needs to try their food. Tasteless and blah. Best party view and a cold corona. read more

OMGGGGGG first time trying Chuys, the strawberry mojito was pretty good, and the taquitos were Bomb!! I'm from Vegas so we don't have this location there but will be coming back whenever I am in town, the location is so chill, they have a patio & over looks a green nice hill, with more restaurants, bars, and shopping center surrounds apartments/condos definitely a vibe, also a lot of dogs active in that location . Coming back read more

I had heard about Chuy's for years and finally got to experience one right here in my home town! Fresh, delicious, flavorful food and excellent service. Chips are so light and crispy...I could have stopped after that and the Queso Dip but forced myself to plow through the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. DO NOT leave without asking for the jalapeño-ranch dip for your chips....it IS the best dip I have ever had...ever. Service and cleanliness are top-knotch. Go...go now! read more

See all

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom I really like this dish ! It is very very good to my belly !!

I heard great things about this place but sadly not impressed by the food. It was overall bland, the only flavor comes from the sauces. I ordered the Chicken Flautas and it was plain chicken wrapped and fried. Other flautas I've had have seasoning, cheese, and/or beans mixed with the chicken so I was pretty disappointed. Aside from the disappointing food, I was very impressed with how attentive the waitress was. We were with a large party and she kept chip bowls and water glasses full for the entire dinner! read more

Such a fun atmosphere, great drinks and great food all in the midst of shopping and other great eats in North Raleigh at North Hills. Viva la Mexico! read more

Great Tex-Mex chain. I love the appetizer sampler because it gives you some of everything and very filling. I don't think I ever leave without a to go box. They probably have one of the best happy hours. During happy hour you can enjoy the nacho truck for FREE! Nacho truck has their amazing queso, salsa, chips, beans and ground beef. I have definitely made this my meal with one of their great frozen margaritas on the side. Whatever you order make sure you ask for some creamy jalapeño dip on the side even if it's just to compliment the chips and salsa and if you decide to enjoy just the nacho truck still leave an appropriate tip for the staff because they are all amazing and friendly! read more

Chuy's is probably my most favorite new tex-mex restaurant...ever. Their Chicken Tortilla soup is magnificent. No, I am NOT exaggerating. The broth is clear but incredibly flavored, they have roasted corn, bits of tomato, pieces of tortilla, perfectly sliced avocado, cheesy cheese, yummy chunks of chicken and then give you a fresh warm flour tortilla to eat with it. Are you drooling on the keyboard yet? My current second favorite item is the Baja Fish Taco. With the creamy jalapeno sauce and their salsa...I could rhapsodize about this as well: the flour tortilla is wonderful and flavorful and doesn't rip apart too easily but isn't chewy. The bits of red cabbage is great as is the crust on the fish. I've also tried their Appetizer sampler plate and my only issue is that there isn't anything really perfect and awesome about it. It's good though. Their house margaritas are yummy though aren't that strong. Chips are probably some of the best in the area. Light, slightly salty, served warm, and crunchy. Their house salsa is also good and the creamy jalapeno sauce that I mentioned above? I could drink that through a STRAW people. It is that good. Make sure that you get your To Go card so that you can work toward a free entree! I'm almost there. :) read more

Our neighbors told us to check this place out so we went for lunch yesterday. When we first sat down, I was unimpressed. Looked like the same menu I have seen a million times before. I was very well surprised, to say the least. First, they brought the chips and salsa fresca (very fresh, a little spicy, and super delicious). I usually prefer the puree style, but this was incredible. I ordered white cheese dip and the server told me they have a yellow cheese dip instead. I was a little disappointed because I love the traditional white cheese dip, but I was in for a real treat. It was a smooth yellow concoction with tons of FLAVOR. A little spicier than the salsa fresca. Mmmmmm... so good. Entrees - I had the taco salad with fajita beef. Easily the best tasting fajita beef I have ever eaten. My husband got the Fajita chicken and beef tacos. He said both were delicious. His only negative was the "doughy" flour tortillas. Our son had the cheese quesadilla and his only complaint was the "doughy" flour tortilla. The tortillas are made in-house and everything that was crunchy (chips and my taco salad bowl) was amazing. The soft ones are a little doughy, maybe. I didn't try them. The décor is gaudy and fun. Great place to bring the kiddos. read more

Excellent! Not one single complaint, this is Tex-Mex at its best! The food was great, our server Steven was great, the prices were great, and the sweet tea proved there was a southerner somewhere in the kitchen. Best chips and salsa I have ever had, and the freshly made tortillas were wonderful! Steven our waiter was friendly, funny, and very attentive to our needs. This is now my number one spot for food in Raleigh! read more

Chuy's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This was the first time eating food from Chuy's. We had it delivered. The delivery was earlier than stated, that was excellent but the food was not good. It definitely was not worth what we paid and this is my first visit and my last visit. Maybe the food is better seated. However, the food should be good whether your eating in or ordering out. NEVER AGAIN! read more

I've been here a few times over the last 4 years, and always loved the food, drinks and service. But this past week, I went for my birthday and was highly disappointed in the food. Food came out dry and barely warm, almost as if it sat under a heat lamp for awhile before it was brought to the table. I hope this was just a bad day for the restaurant and not the direction it is going. read more

I am from Texas and usually, I love Chuy's. This past Saturday I had the worst experience at Chuy's and I was so surprised. I had brought my sister-in-law and brother for lunch so they could try it out. Bragging on Chuy's for years, it was their first time. I had ordered the Steak Burrito with Boom-Boom sauce and when they brought my food, my Steak Burrito had a different sauce on it. When they realized their mistake before they handed me my food, they took it away to fix the issue. Moments later, they brought my food out and it was on a COLD PLATE instead of their normal hot plate. My food got cold fast and it was not enjoyable. Everything was cold. This was the first time I had ever had a bad meal at Chuy's and it did not make me happy. The server never came back to ask how things were after THEY made the mistake or I would have said something then. I feel like they should have at least asked me how my meal was after they screwed up my order. I am highly disappointed. read more

While i'm not a huge man of Tex-Mex Chuy's does have something for everyone. While the main portion of the menu was standard burritos, tacos, enchiladdas, etc (aka nothing too revolutionary) I really enjoyed their chips and queso and absolutely adored their tres leches cake....Note: It's HUGE and can feed three people (at least three girls) easy. Service is always spot on, even when they're slammed...Also they work hard to keep the restaurant itself clean it seems! Finally be sure to ask for a patio seat when it's nice! The space is huge and really nice,and if you're lucky you can catch a concert from your seat at Midtown Park! read more

Probably my favorite thing about Chuy's is that Mrs. B really likes it so I have another option for us to eat Mexican food. She is from the southwest so the tex mex with shades of New Mexico is right up her alley. I really like the thin tortilla chips (think Chili's). The option to have different sauces from the default on your order is nice. I've tried a couple of the combo meals and have liked everything on them. All the food is made with fresh ingredients and that definitely makes a difference in the taste. One thing Mrs. B really loved is that the sopapillas are southwestern style. Not the usual fried tortillas with some chocolate sauce and whipped cream, but the light pillowy dough with some powdered sugar on them and honey to dip them in. The decor is kind of funky southwestern diner. Lots of interesting pictures of random folks on the walls. The service has been good both times we've been there. read more

Let me preface this by saying we really want to love this place. Hearing that a Mexican restaurant was opening within walking distance to where we live sounded incredible. However, as we have gone at least a half dozen times, each time we leave not wanting to go back. However, we "keep giving it another chance". The service is by and large the worst I have come across and I sincerely hope management reads these reviews and re-evaluates their service training, however I'm not sure if manners can be trained. The food is decent...but when you wait 10 minutes to even be greeted at your table, food doesn't go very far. I don't think we will be back. read more

The best part of Chuy's menu are the speciality sauces you add to your enchiladas, chimichangas, and burritos. The boom-boom sauce and deluxe tomatillo are bottle worth. Don't waste your waistline on the guacamole. They serve their chips with a house cilantro, jalapeño dip that's free and tasty. read more

I totally enjoyed Chuys! The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The guacamole was a generous portion, the creamy jalapeño dip is awesome- not very spicy at all for those worried about that. Kind of a kicked up ranch dressing. I have had the shrimp chile rellenos and the veggie enchilada. I love the rellenos- the coating is almost like a fried chicken coating; very crunchy. There were probably 5 or 6 medium shrimp in the filling. If you bring a framed picture of your dog they will put it on the bar wall and you get a free appetizer! I will definitely be back! read more

First time at Chuy's today! The decor and outdoor patio are fantastic, once all the construction is done it will definitely be a joy to sit outside. I started with the Tito's Bloody Mary and it was spot on what I was looking for! My boyfriend said that his margarita was good but had a very strong tequila flavor, not a bad thing IMO! Ashley was our server and she was great. Everything was speedy and correct and she served us with a smile and great attitude. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is unfortunately because we found the food to be okay, but pretty bland. I'll be back but I won't be expecting great food. read more

Love this place! The steak fajitas are so great! I asked to have them rare, and they actually came out rare!!! The green chili rice and the Mexican rice are also fabulous! The salsa is hot! The only thing is, the cheese is not white, it's yellow! But the chips are homemade! If you got white cheese I would go there every time! Hands down!!!! Ashley! Boki! Taylor! Jen! You rock ! read more

The building is nice and festive. We were greeted and had excellent service all evening. The food was just average, everything seemed like it could use more flavor. I have been spoiled for Mexican food from my travels to the Southwest. All around a fun place. read more

This restaurant is expanding from Austin, Texas. Each restaurant has a shrine to Elvis, a car themed room w/ hubcaps on the ceiling & nacho bar for waiting patrons. From 5 to 7 they have quite the spread at the nacho bar. Delicious, freshly made tortillas on site will separate them from the crowd. My faves: Great fajitas, unique sauces only they have, nice margaritas My wife swears by the green tomatillo sauce & no 5 combo. Enjoy.... Dan from Dallas... read more

I went here with my family and another. Immediately, I noticed the atmosphere and vivid room decorations. Each room is a different theme, my favorite being the one with hub caps covering the ceiling. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive waitresses ready to refill glasses or bring more chip baskets. The food was fantastic as well. The Chuychanga with Ranchero sauce was a perfect combination. Portions are very large, so come hungry. On top of all this, the prices are extremely reasonable. You will only pay around 11 bucks a person for a huge meal and drink. Definitely a great deal when you factor in atmosphere and service. read more

I ate at the Chuy's in Naperville, IL, and it reminded me of the TexMex food that you used to be able to get at Tijuana Fat's in Greensboro and in Boone. The salsa made my nose run, so it was much to my liking. A cold beer and spicy TexMex makes for a satisfying and tasty meal. read more

Sat on the patio tonight, it was decently busy but under control. Enjoyed a swirl margarita and Baja tacos. My server, Jessica, was very informative and friendly and recommended my tacos. I definitely recommend the blackberry seasonal marg and the creamy jalapeño. Best to come between rush hours. read more

Not impressed. Went with my girlfriend in the evening. A star for the friendly host/hostess. There was only one other table in addition to ours. The wait was very long. Food was terrible. Barely warm and very bland. I mean no flavor, whatsoever. Will not be returning. read more

Decent food and the complimentary nacho bar is a welcome addition that keeps everyone happy.

My food was good. I liked that they had a free nacho bar during happy hour. It made me so full that I did t want to order food but I had to try the stuff peppers. I had one with chicken and one with shrimp plus their special sauce. It was good but still not as good as other Mexican restaurants so that's why I gave them a 3. The hostess was rude and mean. Seemed like she didn't want to be at work. I saw lots of dirty tables and I felt that they may need to spray something to control the bugs outside. Also, it took almost an hour to get our food once we order. I probably wouldn't go back because they were slow. read more

I love Chuy's! I'm from Oklahoma and since moving to Raleigh I've been on the hunt for Mexican food that reminds me of home. Chuy's is that place! Their burritos are amazing and covered with queso just the way they should be. I love their chips and salsa too. Make sure you ask for a side of their jalapeño ranch dip. I also love the decor. It's a fun and funky place to eat. Great place for date night or a girl's night out. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I am so glad they opened this restaurant in raleigh. I frequented this restaurant when I lived in Austin Texas and loved the food.

Their outdoor seating area is nice with a view of Midtown Park. read more

Chuy's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Chuy's. I could write a song about it. I spent a lot of my childhood in Austin where this restaurant was born and it is the best tex-mex I've had in NC.Like other yelpers have mentioned, the creamy jalepeno dip is amazing and has the creamy, tangy kick of a jalepeno popper. They make all of their tortillas in house, chewy salty disks of heaven. Today I had the Tacos al Carbon with steak. They were fantastic. Tender beef, sweet peppers and smokey grilled onions on top of a fresh tortilla with some guacamole....mmmmmm. Also recommend swapping the refried beans for the charro beans. The service is quick and our food was out in the blink of an eye. read more

Chuy's - Menu cover. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

The food is good, but the customer service needs some attention. We had the rudest waiter the other night - even made a couple of jokes to try and get him to smile and nothing worked. We shouldn't have to force any waiter to smile. Service is fast and the food is good, so I'll give them that. It's worth checking out - I just hope you get a nice waiter! :) By the way, when the North Hills ampitheater opens this place is going to be PACKED - especially with the outdoor seating that faces the stage. Hopefully it will boost business for some of the other NH stores, though! read more
