Just got done with supper and some drinks. Special thanks to bartender Matt Brown for making it a great experience.

This is Tex Mex - not Mexican. So if you are looking for "authentic Mexican" then you need to eat somewhere else. That said, this chain is one of the most consistent restaurants you will eat at with everything made from scratch. Never had anything there that wasn't good, but you are cheating yourself if you don't get the steak burrito at least once or the Elvis fried chicken. Go during green chile festival for the freshest green chilies outside of Hatch. The pork burrito that is only served special once a week is also phenomenal. And get extra creamy jalapeno sauce. Just because. read more

Its Chuy's....nuff said. Although try the parking situation at this location is horrific! You'll circle their small parking lot along with various other cars just looking for a parking space. This place was even packed on a Sunday evening! read more

I love Chuy's! I never say "no" when someone suggests this restaurant. I don't know why I really like it, but it's probably because I fell in love with their Southwestern Enchiladas. Let me tell you about their Southwestern Enchiladas! It's not rolled up like how you typically envision an enchilada... NOPE! It's STACKED! I'm talking LAYERS! So a layer of chicken, a layer of blue corn tortilla (crunchy)... but let me get to the main part of why I love this entree: it's served with a fried egg on top!!!! Yes, you read correctly, a fried egg! I love eggs, and when I saw this... I could not pass it up! Needless to say, it was very good. The egg went well with the usual tortilla, cheese, meat, rice, and beans mixture you see at a tex-mex restaurant. My second favorite thing here is their fajitas! I don't know what it is... maybe the seasoning or just how they grill their onions... it is just absolutely delicious! I'm craving for those right now even though I have leftover fajitas from Lupe in my fridge... hmmm... If you're not that hungry, then get their Tacos al Carbon... it's basically a fajita already "wrapped" up. However, you get 2 and I always think that for a few bucks more, I can more food... but that's me trying to be smart with my money (ha! in reality I'm just being a pig). I also love their salsa (yes, the free dip that comes with the chips). I almost always ask for their creamy jalapeno ranch sauce to eat with my chips. Their queso compusto (sp??) is something I treat myself to when I'm in the mood to stuff myself. It's queso mixed with chili and guacamole (either that or just avocado). Yummm... it's mixed so well I've tried to make that at home. Another favorite (when they have them)... their frozen sangria. Now, I'm a huge sangria girl and I typically do not like frozen drinks. But their frozen sangria was perfect! I literally sucked that down like it's just punch! The last time I was at Chuy's, they had a frozen peach bellini and that was also very satisfying. Now, how did I end up at this location??? I walked here! Yes! I was in Round Rock for work and the hotel I booked was walking distance to this Chuy's!!! Needless to say I was super excited and walked my happy butt over here for dinner. FYI: the wait is a bit ridiculous because it was a Wednesday night and I waited almost 40 minutes for a table... I know... I really wanted Chuy's. read more

Chuy's gets a five star rating because it hits 90% of my criteria for a good Tex Mex joint. Green Chilies Green Chile Rice Flexibility on the menu - I can order a Chile Relleno GRILLED! Charro beans Cheese. Cheese everywhere! Innovative Sauces that are *all* tasty Jalapeno Ranch Innovative Bonus Points? Yes! New Mexican Martini. They spiced it up! read more

This place is LOUD! It was barely half full when we got there, but the decibel levels were off the charts! The food is pretty good though, and order less than you think you need because the portions are Texas style - huge! Recommended: Chica chica boom boom enchiladas, the house margharita-martini (I forget what it was called, but it was the house special) read more

We went back last night, 20 minute wait, not to bad for Chuy's on a Friday night, new years day even! All the same, chips still good, place still weird, wait staff still good with lots of tattoos, food quick to come out, enchiladas still very tasty, chili relleno's still my wife's favorite, so this local Austin chain still ranks as one of the best Austin weird spots you can eat at. I don't know which is more weird the restaurant itself or the staff or those that go their, good people watching if you are into that. read more

I was there running a favor. When I got the favor I was 3 min from the location. In the favor app it says that they PREFER for us to place orders online. The white lady behind the bar was speaking down to me like I didn't know how to place an order. And that she was doing me a favor by allowing it this 'one time' to place one at the bar. There was no need to talk to me like I was stupid. Sometimes it can be confusing doing an online order at some restaurants and I wanted to make sure my clients got exactly what they needed. I don't frequent chuys often so I was uneasy about this experience. (I didn't catch the ladies name and didn't want to after being spoken to like that.) The host was more nice to me than the older lady was. read more

Had dinner here a couple times since friends seem to love it. Food was just very bland and plain tasting to me. This place also seems very crowded all the time, and our service was pretty bad the times I've been here. All and all, a standard fare, overcrowded Tex-Mex restaurant. The food is average at best. Not sure why so many people love this place. Would not go here if it weren't for my dinner guests raving about it. read more

Want to know how to judge a great restaurant? Check out the staff - if they eat and drink there, you know there's nothing hinky going on in the kitchen. Furthermore, when the staff members have worked there for ten years, you know they're treated well and respected. Round Rock Chuy's is well-run, well-staffed and has inexpensive, high quality food with excellent service. It's casual, has a funky vibe and that feeling like the legendary Cheers, where everybody knows your name. Let's hope that as they expand across he nation that they keep Austin Weird and Keep Round Rock Mildly Unusual. read more

I recently visited Chuy's on February 8th coming from the Killeen / Ft Hood area. Whenever my family and I want delicious Mexican food we make a drive upto Round Rock and it's worth it every time. read more

We come to Chuy's pretty much every weekend and are never disappointed. The service is always attentive, the food is delicious and the drinks are great. My husband usually goes for the Macho Burrito, only available on the weekend. He always gets it with the Boom Boom sauce, which isn't even listed on their sauce listing on the menu. I usually get the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, which is chicken enchiladas with Boom Boom sauce. The sauce is like a spicy queso and SO delicious! I love the way the New Mexico Margarita tastes with it (spicy tequila). I also love the Mexi-Cobb Salad, Chuychanga, Southwestern Enchiladas, Deluxe Chicken Enchiladas and Elvis Green Chile Fried Chicken. All fabulous! Can't wait to go back next weekend. read more

I grew up in Round Rock (but haven't lived there for 8 or so years). My family would drive into Austin several times a year to eat a Chuy's because it will always remain one of Austin's best places to eat (regardless of the size of the chain). Great menu (it wouldn't hurt to change it up a bit), excellent drinks and happy hour. Creamy tomatillo, creamy jalapeno and hatch sauces are good enough to drink. read more

As usual, there was a long wait to get a table on Friday night, and a bunch of annoying kids running around unsupervised while mom & dad have a couple margaritas... The local Girl Scouts had a table set up outside so you could buy some cookies while you were waiting. Food was OK, as usual, though service could have been better. read more

Typical Tex Mex but probably the best of that Austin chains. Staff is usually pretty warm and welcoming.

I love Chuy's veggie burrito! My first Chuy's experience was in Knoxville TN, just before I moved down here. They had just opened. I loved the food, and it was a great place to meet friends for munchies and a drink. When I arrived in Round Rock, I saw there was a Chuy's close and felt like I'd really scored! The atmosphere is just as fun, the food just as good. read more

What can you say. It's chuys, tex mex with a flare. Instead of buttons they have catchy shirts and no staplers. Shirts so catchy that they have the entrance flared to all the worldly travelling that it's done. Just bring your favorite Chuys shirt too your far away city, snap a selfie with your mug, print and frame it and you too can hang on the wall of infamy. While bumping our way thru the waiters drink station will it be the colorful art room or the mural of dead hubcaps graveyard. Hubcaps for the win. Buick, Lincoln's, and Cadillacs, love it. The menu features daily specials, with names like, The Elvis Presley Memorial Combo, Fat Daddy Enchiladas, Chicka, Chucks Boom Boom, and a Chuychanga. If you like tex mex you gotta try it. At least for being an Austin original. Grab a margarita and your favorite dish and chill.4 stars for being kewl. The proof is in the beholder on the food, for fuck sake. It's Tex Mex. read more

Chuy's - Their appetizer platter is great for a dinner entree too! Plenty of food.... - Mexican Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Real good food, great staff that is friendly and they take care of you. The jalapeño ranch dip is the bomb! If you have never been you need to try them out. read more

Omar! Omar! Omar! So we had Omar as our waiter the other night with a party of 20 and he did a fantastic job. What a great waiter! We had separate checks and since we were all cousins from all over, no set of checks were together so we could mix and visit with family. I have no idea how he kept us all in order and our tickets straight but he did. Every time we come into town from Florida, we make it a point to eat at Chuys and this time we met with family. We love the food and atmosphere. My favorite is the chuychanga w/steak. I can't tell you what everyone in our giant party ordered but I never heard any complaints. I would highly recommend asking for Omar. :) read more

Chuy's - Mini family reunion at Chuys! Omar waited on this difficult party of 20 and was fantastic! :) - Mexican Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Very delicious Tex-Mex! We arrived on a Sunday around dinner time and because it was only me and my boyfriend we were able to get a booth within ten minutes of waiting. The server was very busy with lots of tables but he made sure we had everything we needed. The food portions are huge and we had to take most of it home! We got the appetizer plate which is a meal in itself and the deluxe quesadillas were the best I've ever had. I also got the beef fajita and my boyfriend got the macho burrito. The fajita was delicious and I must say the flour tortillas are so good that they need to market them and sell them at HEB. The creamy jalapeño dip is also the bomb and they have amazing queso. We ordered sopapillas to go which were also delicious, I mean it's hard to mess up sopapillas though honestly! read more

My husband's family go to Chuy's all the time. I've been to a number of locations and decided to check this place out since it's closest to our house. Oh my, is there a line. Every Chuy's I go to gets very busy, but this place was like no other the first time we went to this location. We actually left and went somewhere else because it was around an hour wait. We finally went, successfully. The food is fine, on par with most other locations. Service was mediocre but the waiter seemed to not be on his toes, so another person started helping his tables out. Chuy's drinks aren't that strong. read more

I got a green cheese enchilada plate. The food was good. The service was excellent. I wish they had more vegetarian options.

Great food! Good service! Awesome Happy hour with free chips, and queso. They have great drinks. I recommend Chuys in RR to everyone. read more

Chuy's - Bar area. This is the car that has queso, chips, beans, and meat for Free during happy hour! - Mexican Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Chuy's is Chuy's is Chuy's. Hard to knock the franchise. And it's easily consistant from Austin to San Antonio. Mojitos are good. Burritos as big as your face. A fascination with Elvis that you kinda wish you shared. (Guess you're more of a Beatles person) and campy decor. Always worth a visit. read more

I just need two words for this review: Creamy jalapeño! Good atmosphere, great food, and really good service! read more

Chuy's - Mexican Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Caught in a trap. We couldn't get out -- Chuy's, Round Rock's Elvis event was a poorly planned train wreck. We watched group after group refuse the hour plus wait. Seating was inadequate. Waitstaff was confused and an inadequate number for the crowd.Seating was disorganized, giving different information about wait time and availability of seating -- but the food is good so we decided to stay. My husband goes to the bar to get sodas for the kids to hold them over for the hour plus wait. He has 8 people served before him -- who pushed in front of him. So he doesn't hear the phone when we do get alerted. When we check on seating -- they've given our table away. So the guy puts us in 24th position to be seated anywhere -- and the patio is closed for an hour. We gave up. Love you tender, love you true -- but not tonight. read more

I have been on team lunches here so many times and have enjoyed the Mexican food most times. To start with they serve Corn Tortillas with Hot Salsa and Jalapeño Cream Sauce. While tortillas are freshly made, they taste just Ok. However the 2 sauces ate great. On the entree side, I did Chili Rellano most times. Once with Shrimps and the other times with just Cheese. Its been great every time. The portions are huge and challenging to complete if you're not really very hungry. I like the Mexican or Cilantro rice served on the side with loads of native flavors. I am not fond of the refried beans that is served as the second side but that is good too for those who like. You can however ask for double rice or double beans. I once did the chicken wrapped in corn rolls and deep fried. However that was very dry and had to be eaten with some sauce to beat the dryness. I don't remember the exact name but that wasn't very enjoyable. The service is always good though and customers are well taken care. The menu is cluttered and it makes it difficult to choose what we want to eat. That's been a challenge always for me. Maybe they should simply their menus. They are green chili fest every year some time in the 3rd quarter with fresh produce from the harvest season that is great and people throng the place like we did last year. Overall, I like this place and would recommend for Mexican cuisine. read more

The location in round rock is possibly the best I've ever been to. They were the only restaurant open during the freeze and they provide consistently great service, food and drinks. Very fun atmosphere as well read more

Placed an order to go. Had son go get it for me and he sat in the to go spot for 30 minutes. I ordered 3 things , 1 of them being a $14 container of queso. Well, we never got the queso. I had fajitas. My tortillas were dried out uncooked flower that wouldn't hold together enough to eat a fajita. This location is getting worse every time I go. read more

Chuy's - Mexican Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Chuy's just has awesome Mexican food using the freshest ingredients. I could wax on about specifics, but this sums it up. The beat food is produced with the freshest, best ingredients and Chuy's gets it. read more

Gotta love the creamy jalapeno. Free chips, beans and queso while you wait, or even if you just want to help yourself after you've been seated. The food is tasty, love the chicken enchiladas, and they have daily specials. I do agree that the service is hit or miss. The atmosphere is always lively but the waiters/waitresses - not so much. read more

I've been to this Chuy's countless times.. It's always fantastic. Yes, there can be a long wait but that's to be expected. Try to snag a seat in the bar area! My favorites: Mexi Cobb Salad (with Creamy Jalepeño for the dressing), Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Enchiladas (Spicy & delish!) and the "New" Mexican Martini. It's spicy.. tequila infused with jalapeños and serranos. The servers are every so willing to make changes to a dish. Just ask! I CAN'T WAIT for the new one to open in Cedar Park!! I might just have to get me a part time job there! read more

It's hard not to love Chuy's, but this might be my favorite location. All of the food I've gotten here has been delicious, the service is good, and the margaritas and other drinks are A+. If they have the blackberry margarita when you visit, don't miss out! One of my favorite margaritas in Austin. Make sure to use the waitlist app during busy times or you'll have a hard time getting in. I've had much better luck getting a table in a timely manner at this location than other locations in the Austin area. If you have a large group, you can also call ahead and they'll put you on the list. All in all, just a fun, tasty Tex-Mex spot that's much needed in this area. read more

Okay - I like Mex food - do not like most places here though - except Red Table (Mesa Rosa).... But tonight at a friends request we did Chuy's to go. The BAD - waiting for food - called in order; was told 35 minutes, ended being an hour The MEH - trying to get the food - Sunday night was packed so parking was a chore - but my friend swears by this place so... waited to be seen and served. The GOOD - we got fajitas no big deal. Everything was hot though.... The AWESOME (usually good) - that freaking jalapeno ranch! Our friends ordered a quart of the stuff... great call! I could almost drink it, it was that good. I really wanted to rub it on my body like calamine lotion. And the fresh made tortillas - redunkulous. They should make sopapillas out of that stuff (hey Chuy's cinnamon sugar tortillas????) Now I have options for Tex Mex in Austin. read more

The chuys is great! The service is great and the secret menu items are amazing! They always have a smile on their face. I have never had a bad experience at this location. read more

My Husband and I's first visit to Chuy's last night and we had a great experience! The place was packed, (one hour wait time for dinner), but it goes by fast. Chuy's has learned the art of how to handle wait time. You receive a pager and the are wait staff that take drink orders so you are free to roam around. After an hour or so we were seated in the enclosed patio section and had excellent attentive service from our server Kip. Since it was our first time there he made menu suggestions, asked questions about what spice level we liked. Even though the place was mobbed, Kip made sure we were well taken care of. Food came out in a timely manner and drinks were kept filled. I had the "chicka chicka boom boom" enchiladas, my husband had the steak burrito, both were good we would order it again. Meat was tender, in both orders. Rice and beans were good too. All in all a fun experience! read more

Even with all the chaos of dinner hour and being very busy, our waiter, Matt Brown, was so efficient, was still able to chat and was a lot of fun. I have been coming to Chuys for many years and tonight was one of the most fun. Thank you. read more

Wow since there is a lot to comment on I'll do a list. 1.) The wait SUCKS. We got there on a Saturday evening and had to wait an hour. Luckily we drank some margarita's and beers while we waited :) So it made us less edgy. 2.) Hostess was kind of a snob and seemed annoyed that we would dare to use her precious time to inquire about ordering a drink (there were no servers around to ask.) She has dark brown to black hair and I believe bottom braces. 3.) Drinks were really good and pretty strong. The only person who had a complaint was my husband. His Corona tasted like it was bad. :-/ 4.) Our waiter was super friendly and great at his job. Drinks were always filled and chips always stocked up. 5.) Food was really, really tasty surprisingly. I got a chuychanga, everyone else got a chile relano, fajita's and chicken enchilada's with tomatillo sauce. 6.) Price was right on point and we'll definitely go back. When we go back though it WON'T be a weekend and it won't be for dinner. Too crowded! read more
