If I was given one word to describe this restaurant it would be "meh". Nothing omg amazing but not the worst. Don't believe the hype.. I think this place is busy because it's new. The food was very bland. I ordered the Elvis platter which is basically 4 of their items and it was a generous amount of food for 12$. The flavor just wasn't there for me. In addition, their "hottest" sauce was really salsa with pickled jalapeños which had little to no spice. I should have brought my own. This is your standard chain Tex-mex and knowing that going in I believe you'll leave with the same impression I had. I ordered their 18 ounce frozen margarita which was probably the best item I had that night. Service was great. read more

Chuy's - Elvis dinner.. a good amount of food for 12$ - Tex-Mex Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I love this place for Tex-Mex! The creamy jalapeño sauce is amazing and I immediately order it upon arrival. I don't particularly have a favorite here. I tend to try different items but everything has been good. Decent portion sizes. I'm always taking food home. The chicka chicka boom boom Enchilada is really good! Although it's just a little too spicy for me. I had my leftovers to my fiancé and he loved it. He likes spicier things than I do. Service was great! read more

Come here quite a bit & make sure we ask for Fendi. Always service with a smile and is very attentive.

Two words. Steak burrito. I get it without the green sauce too so I can really taste that steak! It's so good and the fresh tortillas really make it authentic! Also for the chips I would recommend getting some creamy jalapeño! Salsa is also good of course. I sat at the bar area and enjoyed the vibe and watched some playoff basketball. read more

This is my new favorite dinner restaurant. My mother and law told me about it and we all came in for dinner. It was sooo good and the service was great. Our server Lexi took very good care of us, made sure our drinks were full and our bellies fuller and she remembered everything we asked for, complicated as we were. I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves Tex-mex, this is the place to go. Great salsa, guacamole, enchiladas, tacos and the works. Thanks again, Chuys! We will definitely be back soon. read more

This review will be in 2 parts as I have both dined in, and ordered to go. Went there around 12 on a Saturday and was seated right away. The waitress, Taylor, was extremely friendly and very offering. She actually brought us all the sauces on the menu to try! The hips were great, the sauces were great and the decor was great. My friend ordered a black berry margarita, I ordered a blood orange margarita. They were small and pricey- I think we paid $9.75? I was done in a few sips, especially after trying some sauces. I ordered the regular margarita and made it 18oz this time, this one was the same price and the smaller flavored one, but twice as good. I had run about 5 miles that morning and had eaten nothing at this point, and left without a buzz so take that for what it's worth. Definitely not "real" margaritas that you can find in some places. I ordered combo #1, and my friend got the Baja Tacos but with chicken. Both of the meals were good quality and food portions. I personally didn't love enchilada sauce and would request something different next time- it was good, just not my taste. The Mexican rice was pretty but very tex Mex like... Overall, it was very fresh and very tasty but not authentic Mexican food. The jalapeño ranch is legit though. My bill was $37 for the combo, and 2 margaritas. Now, that was Saturday and I came to work and told the girls it was good so we ordered it to go on Tuesday. We ordered it at 11:25 hoping to miss the lunch crowd. I placed 5 orders and told them they would all be separate. They quoted me a time of 25 min. I ask where I pick up the food when I get there and was told just at the hostess stand. I thought it was weird but whatever. I drive there, parked in the easy pick up parking spots and went inside. I get inside and there are three hostesses and I tell them what I am there for and they said "oh ok she'll be right back" so I wait. And wait. Meanwhile, they are talking about weekend plans, shoes, etc.... I wait for a while just standing there. Someone finally comes out with my check. It's all combined. So I said, it needs to be separated, and I was asked "why didn't you tell them that on the phone." I (am also a customer service manager btw) said "I did, they repeated the orders back to me separately too. So she says "lemme fix it" and hurries off, poor thing looked stressed. I start waiting again... And again... Now two more to go orders come in, and both check out before she returns. Both times the girls didn't know where to put the signed credit card tickets so they just left them on the bench. I check all my food and make sure it's right, while I am still waiting mind you... The drink has the straw put in and there's no wrapper on the top which makes me kinda grossed out but it's not mine so whatever... The food is correct. She finally comes back and gives me the tickets- the drink is wrong so she fixes that. While I am reviewing the tickets, I notice there is a packaging fee. For what? Putting tacos in a to go box as opposed to arranging them nicely on a plate and then having to do dishes? Makes no sense to me. So I hand her the credit cards and she goes off. I wait. I get to sign the tickets and she goes "wait right here, I'll be right back". So I sign and wait. And wait. And wait. I don't know what I am waiting for, but I was told to wait. The drink is now sweating... The hostesses finally tell me I don't have to wait, and I leave- hands full. Not 1 of the 3 hostesses offer to get the door, but a lovely customer does. I finally get to my car... 27 minutes after I get there. To pick up to go orders. In my opinion, that process is a mess! Needs to be completely reorganized. The manager (who I recognized from Saturday) also walked by me several times and didn't say anything which I thought was weird bc Saturday he was super nice. Mind you, they weren't busy just yet. Our food, while food, was cold. I ordered the chicka chicka boom boom something or other. A co worker orders a burrito- they are huge! And a few other orders I can't remember but all were good. read more

Great Mexican at an even better price! Homemade chips are delicious and the skinny margarita is awesome. Kid friendly. The pork special is amazing, definitely try to go on a day when they have it! read more

Not anything amazing here but the best strawberry mojitos, a fun environment, and not over priced. The food isn't bad but it's nothing spectacular, def texmex quality as advertised. read more

I visited this location for my mom's bday (her fave!) and I had a quick question about vegetarian offerings that might not JUST be beans and cheese. The manager came out to talk to me, understood that it's a preference and not a requirement, and offered me a zucchini/yellow squash addition to a bean and cheese burrito. It was so good, and I'm glad to have had the option. I've only had great experiences here and I look forward to my next patronage! Thank you, Ashlyn, and thank your manager! read more

Food was ok and so was the service, but they ran out of rice....how does a Texmex place run out of a staple like that? And we weren't told this until we'll after we ordered. We were offered French fries or a salad instead. Wtf?? Who eats an enchilada with fries? read more

We had a fantastic lunch. I had the fajitas, and they were perfectly cooked. The chips and salsa were fresh and the salsa had a little kick. My wife had the Chuychanga which she loved. The service was very good. I had a monitor which was good and my wife had the frozen blackberry Rita which she loved. read more

We came here after a long day outside and were famished. The service was pretty good and we were seated quickly. The chips and salsa were on point, although they should warn about the spiciness of the salsa ahead of time. While the service was good, the food was not anything worth remembering. After such flavorful salsa, I was surprised that the actual food was devoid of any distinct flavors. I had the Southwestern enchilada which was topped with a fried egg. I'm thankful the egg was on it or it might have been devoid of personality. My girlfriend's mom had the veggie enchilada and she also said it was bland. My girlfriend was satisfied with her chicken fajitas as well. It's a colorful place and the service was good. Looking over the drink menu and it seems like a good spot for happy hour. I doubt I will be coming here for a meal again though. read more

When asked where do I want to go for Taco Tuesday night by my husband, I suggested Chuy's to try something different. My husband really loves tex-mex food and I've been telling him about this place since the Yelp Elite Event I attended. Although we ended up ordering something else and not tacos, we are both happy & satisfied with the service and food (both quality and quantity) that we had. Also we were able to box the left over and I'm sure that will be my husbands midnight snack tonight! It was a busy Tuesday night but we were seated right away, given drinks and order was taken. Another part of service we liked the most is that it's quick, despite being busy! We shared fresh Mexican Cobb Salad (I liked it best with creamy jalapeño dressing than ranch dressing) & Fajitas. Servings were both big. We also compared the decorations in every room this place has, very colorful and full of details but it still looked neat. If there is something they may want to improve on - I thinks it would be the drinks . I don't think the margarita served to my husband was good as at the place where we'd usually go to get some tacos because he did not comment anything on it, also the color looked lame to me. But overall experience was very good and well recommended! read more

Definitely my favorite Tex-mex place I've ever gone to. Their burritos are to die for and their tortillas are cooked fresh. You can watch people making the tortillas while you eat, which is pretty cool. Their margaritas are delicious and come in a wide variety of unique flavors. They have really cute merchandise you can buy at the front of the restaurant. Definitely try their creamy jalapeño dip (it's free, which is a plus), it is honestly the best dip I've ever tried! read more

Weird decor. Pictures of random, old people all over the place. The food was sub par, and was kinda pricey. I got the crispy tacos and my girl got some kind of soft chicken tacos. This was $24 lol. For me, there is waaaay better/cheaper options out there for Mexican food. Service was good. Other than that, probably will never go again. read more

My first time here, and didn't know what to expect. I'm not big on mexican food, so I didn't know what to order. My waitress suggested the 'chuychanga' and I loved it! Customer service was great, and the atmosphere seemed very nice. I will surely come back to try other items on the menu! read more

This was my first visit to Chuy's. I must say I was not at all impressed. The only thing I really liked was the creamy jalapeno dipping sauce for the chips. Also, the tres leches was good since I'm not really into desserts. Right now their celebrating their Green Chile Fest. I tried the food on the menu and was definitely not impressed. I had to add salt to the Mexican Street Tacos; they were very bland. The Mexican rice was just okay. I've definitely had way better Mexican food. I will not return to recommend to friends. read more

I love love love this place!!! Excellent food every single time, and excellent customer service. If I could only remember her name we get her almost everytime we walk in. Sweetest person ever. Sitting by where the kitchen is I noticed a bottle of hot sauce was dropped and broken all over they picked up the glass, scrubbed the floor with SOAP and HOT WATER. A lot of places would have done a sloppy clean and continued. (I have seen my fair share of kitchen floors just passing to get to our seats and they make me cringe at just thinking if the kitchen floor looks like that I wonder what I Dont see looks like...)But not once have I walked into this chuys and seen that the kitchen floor a mess or the bathroom dirty! 5 stars just doesn't cut it! They deserve more!!! read more

Love the food. This review is based only on staff experience. Will not be returning to this location.

The best! Jalapeño sauce is so yum and worth a visit in and of itself! Definitely a frequent stop for my family

good spot to get tex-mex food in big portions. the chicka-chicka boom boom enchiladas are pretty unique and tasty. the free tortilla chips are on the thinner/eggshell-like side though. read more

Great food at great prices. Their fajita chicken is amazing! Awesome queso & chips. Great service. Love to dine on the patio. Inside atmosphere is fun too. Tip: From 4-7 free queso, chips & dips at the queso car in the bar! read more

Pork tacos are the bomb!!! added with bean's and rice great combo Service is friendly. And place is clean. Love there chips and salsa read more

Above Average no frills Tex mex. The food is made fresh (even found a chicken bone in my enchilada) and the sauces range in temperature so there is really something for everyone. Portion sizes are on the large size and the menu has everything you'd expect. The Margaritas are good. It would be nice if this area developed into its own nightlife area. read more

Nothing super impressive about the food. It was good for the most part. I didn't like the stacked enchiladas but not much I can do about it. Great service though, had a great time with friends here! read more

Me and my boyfriend had recently ate dinner here, food was good, our server specifically was not but the bartenders and other staff member there had realized as well and made up for it. read more

don't expect more than a single taco when ordering the "crispy tacos" and you're golden

Love chuys salsa and chips. It's the best I've tried ever. Food wise I love the flutes as well as the weekend special which is the pork tacos. Location is clean and staff is friendly. 2 thumbs up read more

I was never a huge fan of Tex-Mex until I tried Chuys. I've always been happy with everything I've gotten. The boom boom sauce is something that everyone needs to try once in their life! It's like queso but on a whole other level. The shrimp fajitas are my favorite and while not on the menu they'll make them for you so if you don't see something that you want don't be afraid to ask because they'll happily try and make what you want. I eat here at least once a week and am never disappointed! read more

New to Winter Park their soft opening is damn good. Quick service, hot fajitas, and guacamole is yummy. Drinks are ginormous read more

Ate there for the first time last eve and surprised to be bowled over! Service was wonderful, food was timely and exactly what I ordered. The freshness and flavor of the beef quesadilla was the best I have had in a long time. The ambiance was really unusual and quirky, just like I like it... I will not only return but bring friends. read more

We love coming here for the wonderful guacamole and fresh mex food! Unfortunately today, the poor seating staff soured the whole experience. Sad to say, it may be a while before we return. read more

I have came here for the first time and it had horrible service plus we did not know who our server was.it was so stereotyped the white people got served first. While we where here waiting for 2HOURS. read more

We have been going to Chuy's since we lived in Texas, so great to see so many restaurants here in Central Florida! From the margaritas to the nachos to the burritos, the food is fantastic. This location has open air patio that is perfect for happy hour. read more

my fiancées absolute favorite place in the world! The staff is really friendly, their jalapeño ranch is outta this world, and the free nachos are the best thing in the world!!!!!! I usually get the bean and cheese burrito, or the chicka boom enchiladas. Can't go wrong! Our fave date nite spot read more

Yes, I am a fan and want to remain one. However, there seems to be a growing lack of attention to detail on a number of levels which management should correct since another Mexican restaurant is coming to the old Burger 1 site down the street, and others are encircling. We prefer to sit at the bar. It's kid-unfriendly. Enough said. So the other day we would have sat at our favorite high top table at the South side of the bar, but it looked like someone was sitting there because I noticed a Publix bag on one of the seats, chairs in disarray, so we took the next table. Well after inquiring, the bag turned out to contain a pair of sneakers left there by an employee being trained, or so our friendly waitress said. Didn't know trainees needed to change shoes, and why didn't the staff notice both the bag left there and the chairs in disarray and fix it?...fail 1. We ordered drinks. We waited to see the bartender appear, only to realize she was sitting behind us jabbering with her friends having dinner. What? I thought a bartender's post is, well, the bar! She finally ran over made our drinks and stayed not at her post but returned to her friend's table to carry on her conversation while other waitresses standing at the service station waiting on their drinks...fail 2. Ordered the Chicken Enchiladas. They are usually very good, but these had a paltry amount of poultry with a little cheese. The chicken was dry as was the cold soft taco shell. In a word disappointing...fail 3. And as an aside, I rail about poor unfriendly service staff in restaurants who look and comport themselves as if they really do not want to be there. Case in point, one of the busboys who walked around from dining area to dining area bus box in hand looking more like a cast member from the Living Dead than someone who, no matter how menial, took pride in his work. Management of restaurants especially on the saturated Orlando Ave strip in Winter Park, need to realize that anyone who is on the floor interacting with customers MUST be genial, super-attentive, personable and take pride in their workplace. Disney comes to mind. They can certainly ignore my advice, but they do so at their own peril. So far, I have predicted every restaurant closure on the Strip in my initial restaurant reviews and for similar reasons. read more

First time to this Chuy's and it's as amazing as the other one we have eaten at. Super great winter park location with a free parking garage so no hunting for a spot or hot car. Food is amazing love their charro beans. Their chips are so light and crisp its amazing. Hint* ask for some of their warm chili salsa its really different and totally addicting! Service is fast and super friendly, super clean, very cool retro decor. Quickly becoming my favorite place to eat! read more

This location to say the least, is not a great representation of the franchise. First off the frozen margaritas are a joke. You could literally give this drink to a 6 year old and it wouldn't have any effect on them. The waitress was very nice, welcoming and tended to our needs. Our food came out at a respectable time, BUT there was a long strand of hair in my sons food. We waved the waitress down to let her know, she apologized profusely and offered to bring a new dish. Not to mention, not at one point did anyone come by to clear our table of the debris that started to stack up before our meal arrived. The manger of this particular Chuy's came by and said "I'm sorry you had hair in your food, but did you find anymore." I'm guessing that he thought we would all laugh, but a restaurant being up to code is not something to laugh at. The lack of sympathy and sincerity on the managers part, really turned me and my group off. To top it all off they didn't even offer to comp the meal.I wouldn't recommend this location, you're better off taking the 30 minute drive to Chuy's in Oviedo. read more

Delicious spot for happy hour. They offer cheap coronas and have a free nacho bar. Can't beat free nachos with chips, ground beef, salsa, refried beans and cheese. You have to build it yourself but can go back as many times as you like. Margaritas are always good and they are cheap during happy hour too. They have unique flavors but some can get very sweet. Only downside service can be a bit slow at times but that's mostly due to the location and how crowded they can get. read more

YES! YES! YES! I lived in Austin for several years, so I was already a seasoned fan of Chuy's. Having one open just 10 minutes from me was a dream come true! Such a huge fan of the vibe and food at Chuy's. Great happy hour nacho bar! The stuffed avocado special is INCREDIBLE! Best item on the menu... just wished they served it everyday! read more
