Very poor example of the great Chuy's chain. Margarita (the dot) I usually get the waiter never heard of. What came out was watery without any obvious tequila. Requested to slit the bill (group of 5) and that was flubbed. The food? Average at best, and certainly below the Chuy's of Houston standard. Very disappointing. read more

As far as chains go - WOW. We had great service, I LOVED the eclectic atmosphere, and DAMN good margaritas. That "perfect" margarita was super strong and SUPER good. For the price it was a SUPER value As a vegan, I ordered the veggie enchiladas. Now let me preface by saying I'm not a HUGE fan of enchiladas. I wouldn't ever order them but it was basically my only choice so I rolled with it. Well hot damn. They were freaking amazing. So much flavor. The enchilada sauce was awesome. The blue corn tortillas perfect. And the seasoning on the veggies was perfect. I also LOVED every. Single. Veggie. In that enchilada. They were cooked perfectly. I hate how sometimes you just get soggy veggies. But these were awesome. I absolutely loved it. I would have gone to a DFW location before I left if I had another day left. This place was just right for what I wanted to eat. Filling, flavorful and delicious. Oh and the salsa - LOVED it so much. Great experience and if I'm ever in TX again I will be back!!! read more

When the parking lot is full, it only means two things. 1. There are no other restaurants in the area, or 2. The food is good. We waited about 10 min for a table, and Chris with the cutest of smiles, explained few things and helped us choose our food. Service was excellent, the food was very good. Thank you for giving us a platter with all your sauces to try, they were all great. I also really liked the decor, each room had a different feel, but all very southern. We love how everyone said Y'all..... read more

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

I can finally give Chuy's a high rating! The previous experience was nasty due to poor service, & unflavorful food, & I was hesitant to even eat here again. Service was excellent & prompt, and our waiter was very nice, unlike the other two servers I had before-one literally jigged & pranced around the dining room, & the other an obnoxious woman who laughingly sat down at our table and asked us what we wanted to order. I ordered the chuychanga with the boom boom sauce, and the loaded queso and chips for our appetizer. Everything was extremely flavorful, hot and pleasant to the eye as well. Don't forget to ask for the green pepper sauce with the salsa & chips they send out. read more

The restaurant was dirty. Acoustic ceiling tiles and air vents in the ceiling really need cleaning. There was a smashed bug on one of the paintings near the table we sat at. Not very appetizing. Food was ok; not super interesting. Location: Waco, TX read more

Came here around 3 on a Saturday it was pretty busy we got sat in about ten minutes. We ordered queso with beef it was delicious. I ordered the combo number 1. The cheese enchiladas were dry. The rice and taco was delicious. Checking out took longer than our meal. read more

I love Chuys Mexican food. All the good. Desserts are all amazing. Wait staff super friendly.

First time I've ever been here. My wife and I stopped on our way out of town for the weekend. It was different from most Mexican restaurants. I love the decorations and Memorabilia. The staff was super nice. The salsa was not typical Mexican restaurant salsa and more like pico de gallo. But was really good. The food was enough for more than one person. I literally could not believe my eyes when our plates were dropped at the table. So much food. The food was not the greatest due to the fact it seem like it did not have any seasoning or spices and was kind of blah. But nothing that Salt and pepper can't cover up. We had enough food for both of us to eat Again the next day for lunch. I would definitely recommend for the amount of food and the prices and atmosphere. I will most likely be back to try something different next time. read more

Salty Chips way too salty Dirty Tables, floor, bathroom Food fajitas meat was good Wait staff handles the large group well Only one plate was wrong Mediocre visit Nothing Outstanding, nothing really wrong read more

Have been there several times, it's an okay place with an interesting atmosphere, the food it pretty typical Mexican food

Seated quick, wait after that was little long to point we thought about other places. Menu seems to have been shortened, favorite items we had in the past have been removed. read more

College good at best, my son loves this place and comes with all his college friends. But sadly for my wife and I not what we expected. My sons tacos were exactly what he wanted and expected. My wife had the Chuychanga but was surprised how little the filling was and lacked in flavor. I had the custom enchiladas and they were definitely different from what I am used to. The homemade corn tortillas they come in where super thick (reminded me of flatbread). Which was not appealing. The red sauce lacked in flavor. I had to ask for some cheese in the side to make it worth the calories. But we had a good server, the chips and salsa were good and she made sure I was never out of lemonade and my wife was never out of tea. Not sure we will come again, but I am sure my son will be with his friends. read more

We headed to Chuy's to meet friends from Dallas! We sat in the bar area, and Tina was our waitress. Drinks and food were awesome! It was storming and we ended up staying for several hours! What a fun time! read more

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

I absolutely love Chuys! The service here is fantastic and the food is always wonderful, especially when it's happy hour for chips & queso! The only downside to this location is that the bathrooms are always a mess! During my recent visit, I walked into the ladies' room and the each of the toilets was surrounded by a huge puddle of water, with toilet paper laying in the midst of it. This was a little disgusting. Other than the bathroom, this is a wonderful lunch or dinner option in Waco! read more

Chuy's - Chicken Tacos on Corn Tortillas- literally the same thing as the fajitas but $6.00 cheaper - Tex-Mex Near Me - Waco, Texas

Great chips and salsa and a huge and varied menu. Always good food and service the several times we have visited.

I mean, it's fine for what it is. I wouldn't come here by choice, but if people we are meeting want to go there, I'm not going to object. I'd bathe in their green dip and salsa. Other than that, the food is just fine. The service is actually really good. I have to avoid eye contact with the 1in thick dust on everything. read more

We had a great time at Chuy's! The Boom Boom sauce is amazing, and the service was very friendly. I appreciate that you can join the waitlist online - it saved us a lot of time. read more

We waited about 40 minutes for a table on a Friday around 6. We tried to call ahead for a reservation (per the website) but they don't take call ahead/reservations. However, we were able to grab a drink at the bar and take it outside while we waited. My husband eats plant based and was charged the full price of fajitas for just onions/peppers ($15) so that was a little annoying‍. Otherwise the service was great. Food was delicious. Margaritas were worth it. read more

Great food, good prices, fun atmosphere, love the jalapeño ranch sauce to dip chips in. It can get pretty loud inside as it is very open and always seems to be busy but the wait time isn't ever too bad. There is also a nice patio outside too. My favorite thing on the menu is the chuychanga, it comes smothered with your choice of sauce, I prefer the queso. read more

Our party of 7 was seated relatively quickly on such a busy Saturday afternoon. We found out when we got there that it was National Margarita Day, so of course we wanted to celebrate. Our party got either the house frozen margarita or a margarita with a strawberry swirl in it. They packed a punch and were just what the doctor ordered after a long day of exploring Waco. We started with the queso and added the beef, gauc and pico to it, because, "When in Rome" and all. I was pleased with my order of soft tacos, as was the rest of the party. The server was efficient and stayed on top of refills and requests for the table. It was a great place for us to introduce our Michigan friends to classic Tex-Mex! read more

I found Chuy's better than expected. They have a nice patio. The serve was exceptional. Food was really old Tex-Mex. Seasoned well and lots of sauce. Chips and Salsa is chilled and just above 'mild'. I'll return for sure read more

This place is by far the most popular (ie crowded) restaurant we regularly frequent. The qualities inherent to that fact are the only reason I don't give it a solid five star review. Best veggie fajitas in town, exceptionally brewed ice tea, and the creamy jalapeños salsa is primo! But be prepare to wait 20-30 minutes if outdoor seating is closed. And wait outside. read more

We come here often, but tonight it was on point! First off, our waitress, Taylor G, was THE best we've had at any restaurant in probably 3 years! We never had to ask for anything...she just kept bringing chips, salsa, water, extra napkins, etc. It was awesome!! Our food was REALLY good tonight, too! It was fresh & there was lots of it!! Keep this up, Chuys, & the recession won't hurt you as bad as it will others. read more

Love us some Chuy's!!! From San Antonio to Dallas... it's always a happy and satisfying meal at Chuy's and we always look forward to coming back again! read more

HEALTH CODE VIOLATION! BEWARE! Ordered enchiladas. Was given a Family Fajita dinner in error. I didn't realize it as the Chuy's employee just put the sack it in my back seat. On my way home, I got a call from Chuy's asking for me to return as they gave me the wrong order. I drove back there (15 minutes out of the way) and returned it. I then saw them them take it from my car and put it in another patron's car. It is a health violation to have food leave your restaurant and then returned to then give it to someone else. Also, Chuy's did not give me anything for my inconvenience, not even an apology for their error causing me to have to come back. I am calling Health Department on Monday to report this health violation and will no longer be a customer there. read more

Good, consistent, and wait staff has always been pretty good. The seating in there is always tight no matter the location but it is what it is, food is good and drinks kept filled. read more

Best Tex mex on the planet I tell u what:)! Service is great too! The music isn't too loud inside.

The waitress did not even know have to pronounce the items on the menu. we never got refills on $2.95 drinks. no napkins or silverware. The waitstaff sat at a table eating donuts, then got our food never washing hands or anything. Long fingernails, the table next to us paid out, still no hand washing, even after handling the food she was eating, bringi our food to the table, taking money and credit cards, back to eating her donuts, then more customers money... the whole process was disgusting however the food was good, but I don't think we will be back read more

I thought I'd go to Chuy's and get some Mexican food. I got the deep-fried chewy Changa with chicken and been throwing up ever since I got back to the hotel. If I had three thumbs they would all be down. read more

Ate a late lunch here today an was served by Traci. Traci was a real delight - very knowledgeable and personable. I had the combination fajitas, which she tailored to my liking. Tea glass was never empty, dishes were pre-bussed and food was exactly as ordered. Food was also GREAT. They have some really good chicken fajitas, salsas (hot and creamy jalapeno ranch too) and Queso. I did find the beef fajita was a little drier than I like. This Chuy's is always a great stop on my way to or from Midlothian to Austin, College Station, or San Antonio. read more

Worst experience ever. They messed up two of my meals and they wanted me to wait AN HOUR to fix it.

Jessica was amazing. She was great with my kids convinced my little girl to finish her food, which is a miracle in itself. But was accommodating to all of us. Great pit stop on the way back outta state. read more

This location is always pretty busy when we come, but I think it's the only one in the Waco area and everybody loves Chuy's! The service is great as well as the food. Not much to say as I am already a huge fan of this restaurant. read more

We walked over from our hotel for dinner after a long day's drive. The wait was shorter than predicted which was a positive. That was the high point of the service. The hostess seated us with only menus...so I had to ask for the drink list. After the appetizers arrived I had to ask for napkins (we never got small plates). When the entree arrived I had to ask for silverware (from the food runner). The only thing I didn't have to ask for was the check! I would've enjoyed a second drink, but was tired of asking for things that should be part of minimal table service. Other nearby tables were getting good service - I think our guy clocked in at 4:20. Food was meh. Got the Cobb salad. Portion was huge. Chicken was dry so I only managed to eat half. Maybe that second cocktail would've helped wash it down. My daughter got an enchilada dish that she only managed half. When dining at a chain, we go for consistency of experience. This location fell way short. When we are back in town, don't think we'll bother stopping in here again. read more

Showed up to pick up my order and was told they were bagging my food and it was ready. I waited 45 min after being told that to finally receiving my order. 0 star if it was applicable read more
