This place came highly recommended by a few patrons in the area as we were seeking something different than the chicken strips and fries that was around. Now don't get distracted by the side streets just keep Driving you will come upon the location. Sadly there wasn't any outside seating available but we still stayed. The margaritas (Pineapple ) was by far one of the best I've had in a long time. The service was excellent, and pretty quick. The company I was with was much better and I feel they kept the ambiance going. Overall no one at the table was disappointed in their food choices and sadly I didn't take pictures. read more

Don Chuy Taqueria - Unable to remember the name but it was DELICIOUS! - Mexican Near Me - Cambridge, Maryland

Well it wasn't like being in Mexico at all. Wasn't spicy at all. The salsa was a little bit more than ketchup. And I've never been given ranch dressing to eat with my chips before. read more

The margarita was *so* good and had more liquor than mixer (amazing!). The carnitas smelled so good when they came to the table and tasted even better. The pina fajitas was also delicious, and I had enough leftovers to make another meal! The food and drinks came out quickly and the server was very nice. I wish we lived closer to this establishment but now we have a reason to stop between home and Ocean City! read more

I ate there 12/2/24 Overpowered with air freshener inside Wait staff didn't speak much English just to help with ordering. What is the jalapeños stuffed with? She couldn't answer. They were not good!! Ordered ground beef tacos with the all the toppings. Tacos came out without any toppings brought it to the waiters attention, and she walked away with a smirk on her face. took them forever to bring the guacamole out that we ordered when we sat down. The guacamole was good!!!!!! I ordered the Carne Asada. The steak was so thin. I should be able to cut it with the side of my fork, but it was so overcooked. I needed a serrated knife to cut through it. On the way out we noticed an overwhelming stench of sewer on the side of the building. Didn't notice it walking in. Then I realized the air freshener was to mask the sewer problem they are having. read more

Great food! They were patient to ask questions and willing to answer what substitutions are possible. Great service too!

Had the huevos racheros for lunch. Excellent. The corn tortillas were on the side. Tapatío hot sauce. The chips with salsa and crema was great. The wait staff was pleasant and helpful. The restaurant is a standard bankette four tops, pleasant and clean. I will be back. read more

Hello everyone! So I was craving some enchiladas and stumbled upon this place before heading to downtown Cambridge, MD. I was greeted and seated immediately. The environment of the restaurant is relaxed, and reminds you of Mexico. I can attest after having been there myself. Salsa and chips were immediately brought to the table and this is always a plus in my opinion! Cheese sauce (queso blanco) was also included and it was absolutely delicious! The salsa and chips were bountiful, and helped curb my appetite. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and they were delicious and authentic! The texture was perfect, and they had a lot of flavor! To be fairly honest, the enchiladas melted in my mouth with each and every bite! I doused some hot sauce over them and it gave them a nice spice kick! The service was good, but I would recommend to the young waiter I had to pick up the dishes when they have been finished with . After I finished the tortilla chips, the container and sauce dishes were left on the table throughout my entire meal. It is minor, but also key. Please check this place out. Cheers to good eats! read more

When you walk in, it looks inviting. Friendly faces, smiles and laughter of the people sitting there eating. Well those people who were happy didn't order a margarita and steak fajitas because if they did, they would have not been so joyful! The margarita is huge but it only had about 2oz of tequila the rest was ice and a mixer. Ok, I get it, it's happy hour, the drinks are not going to be as strong as ordering something else but I should feel the affects from one margarita, especially since I'm a light-weight. The steak, oh boy -- here we go, this is what had me almost walk out. The steak was one of two things, it was either bad or it was an extremely cheap cut of liver. I'm going with the first one, it was bad -- I didn't get sick but one bite and that was enough for me to know I shouldn't be eating it. The other folks with me had steak as well and same thing, one bite and done. Even the guy the next table over said it was horrible. I wanted to love this place because it's in a quaint little town, with not an abundance of places to eat. I can easily say that this place will not be in my rotation for happy hours, lunches, dinners or any other time. read more

I'm evaluating this restaurant after watching Man vs. Food and craving a burrito. I came at noon on a Saturday and the place is pretty empty. The service is super super slow and actually already frustrating me, but they are super super nice so all is good. The chips are fresh and hot with nice salsa's. But now I'm thirsty and still have no water or my drink...... yes finally it arrived. The burrito I ordered is super fresh and outstanding. The staff are super nice. I take back what I said about the speed read more

We arrived at this place after our kayaking adventure. We were very hungry and we were told this place had good food. First impressions upon arrival was oh, that's cute. Our server was very nice. We started with complimentary chips and salsa and what I thought was queso. It was not. I almost gagged. It tasted like ranch dressing gone sour. Do not eat it. I had the chicken enchiladas with a side of guacamole. It was eh, fair. Definitely nothing I would say was yummy. I was hungry and it was edible. The guacamole was pretty good. read more

I ordered from here one day early this week. I ordered two veggies bowls with no cheese and no sour cream. I asked for it on the side. We also ordered a few other things. The food was clean, hot and tasty! The only thing about the bowl was that there was soooooo many zucchini to much for me but just enough for my boyfriend. Lol will be returning one day. read more

When I go to any Ethnic eatery I want Authentic food. So many seem to Americanize it. Not a knock on the eatery, it's just not for me.

We were staying at the Grand Hyatt at the Chesapeake for the weekend and found this restaurant for lunch. It seems like it is family owned and were very friendly. As a vegetarian, I was happy to see a large section in the menu specific to vegetarian options. The chips and salsa were yummy. Here is what we ordered: - Guacamole- very flavorful and well made. - Platter with one bean burrito and two chalupas- The bean burrito just has beans and usually comes with a cheesy sauce. I asked them to replace the cheese with house made burrito sauce. It was delicious. I loved the bean burrito. However, the chalupa was mediocre. It was just a fried tortilla with lettuce, tomatoes, beans, and sour cream. It didn't have much of a flavor and I just left it. I would recommend just getting the bean burrito. Overall, it's a decent Mexican restaurant with tons of options. The food is average but I'll still recommend trying it out. read more

When I was researching restaurants to try out on my vacation to Cambridge, I bookmarked this one first as it looked awesome! I had a hard time placing my pickup order on the phone because the website online ordering site had different prices than the restaurant's menu (by about $1 per dish) so that's something to be aware of. Based on other rave reviews, I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and left with a little sticker shock as I paid $19 for that dish plus an horchata. But when I came home and saw the food, I was shocked--the portions were enormous!! The enchiladas easily lasted me 2 meals and was very filling, so it was a good value. The restaurant doesn't have it on their website, but they do have a lunch menu with some good dishes for the value. When I go back I look forward to trying those out. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant itself looked really festive and colorful. When COVID is more under control, I look forward to dining in person! read more

Don Chuy does everything right. There is no wait, the food is good, the restaurant is clean and the prices aren't bad.

Delicious! Stopped in on our way to OC and had great tacos and beverages! Service was great and loved that they had outdoor seating. Will definitely come back!! read more

I had their Al Pastor and Lengua Tacos. Very juicy and seasoned very well. Came with sauteed onions, cilantro, corn chips, salsa, white sauce (very delicious) and hot sauce. I would definitely recommend it. The only criticism I have is that, I would've preferred double tortillas instead of one. But overall, very delicious! read more

Ordered the mixed fajitas (chicken & steak) to go. Everything was good, seasoned well and big portions.

What Was Good: Great service, tasty food, relaxed atmosphere What Wasn't Good: Parking was a bit dark, fruit flies near our table Had a wonderful dinner with my wife on a trip to Cambridge. Food was very good and the service was excellent. A nice break from some of the other seafood-focused dining options. I'd recommend going earlier as the rear parking area isn't very will lit. Also, as for a table away from the windows, as fruit flies seem to congregate there. read more

So the service was great. The food was amazing. No lie, the guacamole was the best I have had from a restaurant. 100% recommend. The price was very fair especially for the food I got. read more

Checked it out on our vacation at the Hyatt resort. Pretty good Mexican food and I would say it's authentic! I specifically enjoyed the tacos (small street style)! The rest of the food we ordered nachos and rice/beans was pretty good as well! Good food, fair price, and happy hour margaritas! read more

Dynamite enchiladas and Horchata. The chips and sauce don't hurt either. If you want Mexican in this area, this is a good option.

Good Mexican food, drinks and customer service is good as well. Visited twice and will visit again and again.

Fajitas were very tasty and all the food came out quickly. The salsa and white dip were delicious and our waitress was friendly and attentive read more

Found this place randomly on the way to OC because our regular stop is gone :( what a surprisingly great find! Food was delicious and a good portion! Server was great. Get a pitcher of the margarita texas! I'm not sure what's in it but it's tasty! And the server said this was a favorite to drink! read more

Great service. The two waitresses checked on us at the right times, and always with a smile. Cozy, fun atmosphere. Loved the chips and the crema and salsa that came with it. The guacamole was yummy. My Mexican hubby got the chicken poblano, and was quite pleased. I got the carne Asada. Not the best I've had. I would definitely come back next time we're in town. read more

I've been everywhere trying to get good, authentic home style Mexican food and been disappointed with what I found. Don Chuy is not like the others who offer Mexican. Don Chuy is authentic and Good! read more

W have been here on multiple times and the service has been better every other time but unfortunately so has the food. There was plenty of seating but it took about 10/15 minutes for someone to seat us in a booth directly next to the bathroom. They were quick to bring chips and salsa but it was another 10 minutes to take our order. We ordered drinks, an appetizer and the main courses. The drinks came put quickly and then we waited when the food came out it was the appetizer (wrong) and the sided for our entrees. We waited about another 7-10 minutes for the1st part of the entree and then the 2nd part was another 5 minutes. The food which is normally good was at best average. Then when it was time to leave the waiter never returned so we had to go up to the counter to pay. If we wanted to take anything home, which we didn't, it was not an option. We will go back, yes. But not soon! read more

Being from Mexico City and knowing authentic Mexican food I'm always skeptical about trying Mexican food specially being so far from the border, but I must say that the food was really good. My wife had the carne asada, it had good flavor and texture. I had the chimichanga with beef it was also good they both came with rice and beans and they where both good as well. The service was also really good Luis was the waiters name and it was his first day so he didn't quite know the menu but that's ok for being the first day! We also met Don Chuy the owner he was really attentive, he stayed and talked with us for awhile. I really hope this restaurant does well specially that the food and service was outstanding! Oh and did I mention is family owned and operated! We did not try the margaritas but they did look good maybe we will try next time! for Don Chuy read more

My wife and I are staying at the Hyatt down the street from D.C. for her bday. We didn't want late night hotel food and opted for Mexican. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. I read some of the reviews and was a bit skeptical initially. Here's what we ordered: 3 tacos, carne asada, Al pastor and Lengua. All amazing and full of meat. The tortillas tasted homemade. Only thing I wish they did was do a double tortilla instead of one. It came with grilled onions on the side and lime. So good!! I might go back before we check out and order some for the drive back. My wife had the chicken chimichanga. Also excellent. We also got horchata, fanta and guacamole with chips. This place reminds me of small, authentic Mexican restaurants you would find in L.A.. A rare find. Don chuy, Cambridge is very lucky to have you! read more

Stopped here over the weekend for a lovely little meal with my husband. We will be back! Fast and friendly service, great food, and reasonable prices! I got the Enchiladas Verdes (it comes with 3 Enchiladas-I got combo of chicken and beef) and my husband got the Enchiladas Ranchera (pork). Both were wonderful! As others have said, HUGE menu. Can't wait to try again. Also delicious warm fresh tortilla chips with salsa and white dipping sauce went great with our icy cold drafts. read more

Good guacamole and salsa. Entrees were mixed, don't order the beef with cactus or the mushroom quesadilla (it doesn't have cheese), steak and fajita were good. Service needed some work, we understand that they recently reopened due to COVID so maybe the service will get better. Not good enough to go back. read more

Great service! Fast. The Chile Verde was 3.5 the Horchata was a 3.0 out of 5. Lacked presentation. No real complaints but the service (admittedly it was a slow lunch) was star. It wasn't a WOW for me but I would not discourage you from checking Don Chuy's out. I might stop in again when I go through Cambridge. read more
