Love this place every time I go. Especially like the special menu items during hatch Chile season.

Usually this a great place to eat but tonight the service was extremely slow. Our waiter didn't come to our table for quite a while. I was about to go to the front desk to ask for someone to take our order, drinks, chips and salsa. The young man finally came but again extremely slow. He never refilled my water or salsa until our dinner came. If I wanted better service and a water refill maybe I should have stayed at home. Very sad!!!! They used to be our favorite Mexican food restaurant but now it's nothing special. read more

Great Tex-Mex food and very cool atmosphere - I love the metal palm trees. When they bring the chips and salsa, ask for the creamy Jalepeno dip. The Specials are great! I love the Southwestern with the egg on top. Prices better than expected when comparing the quality of food with the atmosphere here. Will stop here every time I'm passing through for sure! read more

Great Tex Mex, fresh made guacamole and pico. I travel to the Austin area frequently and know that any Chuys is great! The jalapeño garlic dip is a must, order it with your chips, then dip your food in it too. Mmmm, so good! read more

Chuy's - Chicken Quesadillas, chips, salsa and jalapeño dip. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Waco, Texas

Flautas were good but they use corn tortillas so it made the meal seem plain.... experience is always great. Staff has a great attitude and the many sauces and kick ass tshirts they sell make this a great overall experience. This location is a bit of a pain to get to as it is on the freeway entrance near an interstate junction. Other that that, love me some chuy's! read more

I ordered enchiladas and it wasn't tasty :( The waiter was so nice but the service kind of slow. read more

The chili con queso was good but the chicken taco salad and guacamole were bland. The salad was huge but real basic. No beans, corn or anything exciting. I was surprised at how the guacamole had no flavor. The chips were good but to thin to hold up anything besides the queso. Cool atmosphere but we won't be back. read more

I love Chuy's and it's Waco location does not disappoint. It is kind of far away from the normal Waco scene but worth it because it is some of the best Tex-Mex that you can get. From enchiladas to burritos to the simple quesadilla Chuy's style, everything on the menu will bring your tastebuds alive. 10/10 recommend. read more

Good food for not knowing what to expect but overall the service was friendly and our waitress asked multiple times if we need anything else. 4/5 read more

Don't go to this Chuy's at 9:00 on a Saturday night. They are much more interested in cleaning up and going home then they are in making you feel like they want you there. They serve with s smile while they are putting everything away and mopping the floor etc. I didn't feel like I was wanted. read more

This is must visit Mexican restaurant in Waco. I feel lucky to be here with my Baylor friends to enjoy a wonderful dinner. Love it!

My goto spot for a spicy New Mexi martini after a rough work week! Always busy always delicious and their creamy jalapeño dip with salads and chips ought to be illegal it's wayyyy to good, especially to be complimentary and unlimited read more

I mean it's Chuy's... what's not to love. Love their New Mexican Martini's! Nice kick with the jalapeño. Food comes out pretty quick and always tasty. read more

Chuy's - Finishing a good meal with cookie cake. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Waco, Texas

Last Sunday I went to this location for the first time. They were swamped, and our wait time for a table was about 25 min. We were seated in Donald's section. His service was an excellent 10 out of 10. Our food came out quickly, but we still had enough time to fill up on chips and the yummy jalapeño ranch dip. Everything was excellent and fresh. read more

Ordered a fajitas for 2 meal (delivered) and received 2 total tortillas. What's with that?

It was great food was good it's one of my favorite things to go and eat at back home love Mexican and Tex-mex food but it reminds me of a place I used to eat with my dad just about every weekend before he developed cancer and couldn't really handle it we would still go and that's how Chuy's has became my favorite even when I feel a little sick to my self I'll still say heck ya if any of my friends want to go and eat definitely a place I will be taking my kids and wife to when they are are older. I recommend this place to all my friends and a lot of them don't care much about Mexican food but this place with its unique tastes in food seems to take the win for some of the best food they have eaten. Absolutely love the service as well! read more

I called in an order at 6:10 pm. I arrived at the restaurant to find (after waiting 25 min to be assisted) and I was informed they did not have my order. A you lady said she will reorder still waited an additional 30!!!!' Not good read more

Strong alcoholic beverages which is awesome. Pretty gross food though. It's either bland or too spicy. Makes sense that only Wacoans like this place. Lol read more

I had the Elvis fried chicken with the boom boom sauce and an egg on top, charro beans, and green chili rice and my sweetie had chili relleno and beef enchilada. Great flavors and excellent service. The Mexican martini is a must. read more

Always a favorite for our family. Great happy hour with free queso, chips, beans, salsa, etc. Shrimp tacos are great with creamy jalepeno dip. read more

I went here with one of my friends we ordered drinks then ordered our food. Our drinks came out and about 2min later we already have our food. I know for some people that might be a good thing but we wanted to talk enjoy our drinks and take our time and we felt rushed while being there. The food was good I just wish they would of waited to bring it out. read more

Great service. Food was good but could have been warmer. I would eat here again for sure

I went to chuys during lunch on Wednesday with 4 coworkers. I paid for our lunch which was $75. I tipped $10 on the receipt and all the other girls left cash on the table. When I checked my account the tip had been changed to $25. I have no issue tipping well and we left 20%. I know staffing is an problem with COVID and causes service issues but this is unacceptable. read more

We love Chuys! We eat here at least once a week. We are vegan and we love the fact that they use vegetable oil to cook their beans, chips, and tortillas. Always great service! Their staff is friendly and upbeat. Always with a smile on their face. read more

Great prices, amazing staff. The jalapeno ranch dip is a MUST have! Taco salad with fajita beef is my favorite. Kids like the cheese enchiladas. Son says if you order chips ask for the smaller chips, lol read more

This is a review for Chuy's fans form elsewhere passing through. The food is the same as you are used to: every bit as irresistible as at any other Chuy's. Which would be 4 stars for me. The trouble is the service is kind of clueless. I asked for a beer and my companions asked for Dr Peppers. They got their sodas and I got a glass of water. Later somebody wandered by with a beer bottle with alime stuck in it - no offer of a glass. One of us ordered a salad; they didn't ask what sort of dressing. The salad came dry. They forgot to bring utensils. When I flagged someone down they eventually came back with utensils but no napkins. Then we had to ask for napkins. After we got the check, they never came back to take our payment. We had to track them down via the reception desk. The staff were all nice kids who aimed to please but it seemed like they had never been trained. So, be prepared to ask for things that ought to be obvious, and be prepared for things to take longer than you expect. read more

Staff was friendly. Called in a takeout order. They met us at the curb of the takeout parking and went in to get our food. The lady who brought it out was very nice and polite. The only bad thing was the order was wrong. I was looking forward to my fajita burrito. This was our first meal that we had not cooked at home since our daughter was born. It's just one of those little things. I could understand if she had heard it wrong but as you can see in the pic, that was not the case. I would recommend thoroughly checking your order before leaving. read more

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

The Texas martinis are great. Also, the veggie burritos and fajitas are great. Can't ask for a much better happy hour with chips, beans, salsa and queso free. read more

We love the green sauce and the nachos are the best!!!!! Several of the waitresses are outstanding! read more

We went to this restaurant last night (6/22/20). As a result of the virus, there were severe restrictions in place and most tables had been removed. We were quite disappointed, though, because the menu is severely restricted. The menu is only one page, and about ten entrees. read more

My fave tex mex restaurant in Waco by far! Try to go during off hours as its really busy for lunch & dinner. I remember back when I ate at their first place in Austin back in the 80's and I must say the food is even better now! Fun, clean facilities...can get loud with patrons & music during peak hours.. read more

Worth the wait!!! The food was amazing, the staff was extremely courteous. Andrew, our waiter was in point and met our every need. The manager Rebecca also came to our table and was so nice. They made us feel "at home" Good job guys! read more

Have given this place several tries. The wait staff if also friendly but the food is never great... always meh. This time I ate a chicken enchiladas lunch special ( two enchiladas and rice ( NO BEANS) and a water. By the time I left the tip it was 16.00. Ridiculous! I won't go there again. Also- the tables are way to cramped, you feel like you are eating with the next table. I wish they would spread the tables out a little as it seems they are trying to cram the most bodies possible and not worrying about ones comfort and enjoyment of the meal. read more

By far most consistent restaurant in Waco, TX. Cliff and his whole staff are rock solid. Great hostesses, bartenders and some very personable wait staff. Scratch made every day. Tip: ask for muddled Serrano's in your New Max Martini for an extra kick. read more

Pretty decent food at good prices. One of the better places to get Tex-Mex in Waco. You HAVE to go during the green chili festival. The frozen margs are really good too. read more

We had a birthday party here a couple weeks ago! The staff was very accommodating and friendly! The waiter was so nice and did an excellent job of checking to see if the food was good and our drinks were full! read more

Great food and awesome service! Abbey rocks! Got to bring my dog on the patio and she had a great time too!!

I'm sorry, but I just don't see what the hype is all about. Went there for lunch for the first time a few days ago and I was unimpressed, to say the least. First of all, they seated us in what felt like a cave with hubcaps hanging from the ceiling, the waitress was kind of rude and I was very disappointed to look over a menu in a Tex/Mex joint and find no tamales. Whoever heard of Tex/Mex joint without tamales? Since I didn't find my favorite Tex/Mex dish, I opted for the chicken flautas. Tasteless would be the best way to describe them. It would be kind to say the meat was dry and overcooked. I had charro beans that were cold and also tasteless. I didn't even bother tasting the rice. Sorry folks, but not only does Chuy's only receive one star it also gets two thumbs wayyyyyyyy down. read more
