Second time coming here, and I got the same thing both times because it's just that good! It reminds me of my childhood, eating shrimp cocktail with my dad. He used to make the most delicious cóctel de camarón with ketchup, and this is the only place I've found that makes it that way. It might not be for everyone, but add a little Tapatío for a kick and it's so good. Parking isn't too bad on weekdays, but weekends can be harder since it's in Midtown with other businesses around. Both times I was able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, but there's also indoor seating available. Service was good, too. Definitely coming back! Also tried queso fundido too much cheese not enough chorizo but if you love cheese you should try. read more

Mari Chuy's - Carne Asada - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This Midtown gem serves up bold, flavorful Mexican dishes that are absolutely worth the visit. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and the customer service is consistently warm and welcoming. Even though the parking lot is small, the food makes it well worth grabbing a spot however you can. For the price, you really get a bang for your buck, especially considering the quality. And whatever you do don't leave without trying their margaritas. They're the perfect finishing touch to an already great meal. read more

The bistec beef plate was not familiar with an almost Chinese food like sauce of tomatoes and corn starch. It was almost clear rather than a dark, thick strew sauce The beef was thin, cooked and cut into squares like the thickness of a ham or bacon. The lettuce was placed next to the hot and was ruined with the heat of the sauce. The beans and rice was good. Would NOT have it again. I like the atmosphere and so very disappointing. read more

Went out for a Friday date night and while walking through midtown my wife and I decided to go to Mari Chuy's as we have not been there for several years. I've always appreciated the location and setup of this midtown location. The summer is especially nice with the outdoor patio. It was very quiet for a Friday night which seemed strange as it was about 7:30, maybe a little too cold for most people! But fine with us as there was plenty of tables and the service was quick. We ordered some margaritas and they mentioned adding an order of Guacamole to start. Always hard to say no to fresh guac, which was good and a nice addition with the provided chips and Pico Salsa. Margaritas were good, nice large serving on the rocks. They didn't offer the option for blended, but after reading some other reviews sounds like it is an option. On the rocks was fine with us though, just mentioning it for others. Both my wife and I decided to order Combo plates, I ordered the Carne Asada Wet Burrito and my wife ordered the 2 taco plate with chicken. The Wet Burrito is huge, but it wasn't very flavorful. Basically a burrito stuffed with asada, and the sauce didn't add too much flavor surprisingly. The tacos were fresher and more flavorful. Beans and rice were standard, but a nice addition for the wet burrito. Overall a great experience and nice dinner out. My critique of the combo plates should be taken lightly, I would compare them to any other typical Mexican restaurant and the prices are comparable. I'm looking forward to trying some of their specialty dishes next time! read more

Good portion sizes. Food is priced well for what you get. Ordered a burrito and it was pretty big. It fed me for like 3 meals. I just wish it automatically came with like pico de Gallo inside it. Appetizers were good too. The queso was really good. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner on a Saturday. As it was early, it wasn't very busy and we were seated right away. Service was very friendly, quick, and attentive. I had ordered the peach margarita. Boy was a surprised by the size of the margarita that came out! I was not disappointed, and it was very tasty but beware if you're driving (LOL)! The chips and salsa to start were tasty. The chips were warm as if they were right out of the oven which was a nice touch. I ordered the chicken enchiladas which were tasty and my husband had the shrimp burrito which he enjoyed. The whole restaurant is cute and i love the indoor outdoor vibes. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu and we'll probably try the south reno location as well! read more

Mari Chuys: good tacos, vibrantly decorated establishment, and excellent service. This was my first time at Mari Chuys. I've been to some other restaurants in this plaza but honestly didn't know they existed. We figured we should give them a try. Upon walking in we were warmly greeted by the owners. The restaurant is painted in really vibrant and bright colors. The restaurant is also clean and looks like they can accommodate groups of varying size. It also appears that there's outdoor seating. Ambiance 5/5 Service: From the greeting to all of the waitstaff everyone was super friendly and polite. They answers any questions we had and refilled our waters multiple times without needing to be flagged down. 5/5 Food: I'm a big fan of street tacos. The ingredients in mine tasted fresh. The meat was tender and the food was pretty good overall. I couldn't quite place my finger on it though something was missing from the seasoning. Maybe more citrus or heat? By no means am I a taco expert but it was a few tiers down from my favorite taco place in Reno. 4/5 Also great chips. If you're in the midtown area consider coming here for some pretty decent tacos and great chips. The price point is a little more than some of their competitors but the service is excellent! read more

Ordered the Carnitas plate, Queso fundito, and my girlfriend had the carne asada tacos. Everything was delicious and authentic, but DO NOT forget about the jalapeno margaritas. They are by far the freshest, spiciest jalapeno margs in Reno. Outdoor seating was amazing for lunch. read more

Love this place for the ambience, the food is just OK. Love coming here Kuz the music is good and they always have street performers around in that cul de sac it's fun to people watch Food-wise: fajitas r a bit dry, But the tacos were alright, and their margaritas r pretty yum I think they have a location At Rancharrah, in Sparks, and even in the airport, I haven't tried any of the other locations Kuz they don't seem as fun as this location read more

We had such a great time Sat night! We arrived early and it wasn't too busy yet. The atmosphere and decor is so fun! It's a little small but they have outside seating if the weather is nice. The staff is phenomenal! So sweet! It was a friends birthday and they treated her so special and sang to her too. The food was decent. I felt it lacked a little flavor. I like salted chips so I just added it myself. I had a wet carne asada burrito, and it was very good, the sauce just needed a tad more flavor for my liking. All in all the night was a success. read more

From the minute I walked into this charming restaurant I enjoyed the Mexican vibe. From the large windows overlooking the patio with cool Corona Umbrellas to the beautiful bar and liquor wall. I felt the writing on the wall in front of the kitchen was talking to me...Never have regrets because everything you did was Exactly what you wanted. I love that! I ordered a strawberry and peach margarita. It had a non spicy Mexican spice called Tajin. It was a beautiful drink and a new spice for me to learn. I ordered beef, chicken and shrimp Fajitas. Refried beans, black beans, tomatoes and warm flour tortillas. Where do I start. This was so much healthy food for a great price. Thank you Karla and Sergio for excellent customer service with a smile. I enjoyed the music playing while I ate my fajitas and drank my margarita. Before I left, I had a tequila shot. Sergio, I Loved the presentation of the grapefruit slice! Thank you so much. Cheers to an exceptional 5 Star Dining experience here in Midtown at Mari Chuy's. I will bring my family back!

I don't usually eat a lunch at work except for a yogurt at my desk but today I was hungry and wanted something more. I love the Mari Chuy's in Sparks-they have the best chili verde in town! Once I got to Mari Chuy's in midtown I remembered why we don't go there very often. The parking is so challenged! The chicken quesadilla combo I had was delicious-love that it comes with whole beans instead of refried. Service is great there. I'm going to return on a weekend when I have more time to stroll through midtown. read more

Went there on Valentines Day for a comedy show, the place was busy but not packed and It has a nice ambiance and I thought the food smelled good but they charged me 10 dollars for a Pacifico, which is honestly ridiculous and I wasn't interested in any other food or drinks after that. Other than some PA problems, the comedy show was pretty good but I won't be going here again. read more

When in Reno, Mari Chuy's is a definite STOP!!! Sandwhiched among MidTown South Virginia Drive is this enchanted Mexican haven! Steps toward this Mexican Cantina, you SUDDENLY are transported as if you are in Mexico. With the welcome hospitality, smiles and the sounds of beautiful Latin music, then sitting outside or inside while sipping on Jalapeno or Mango Margarita, you're captured. The food is scrumptious and prices are shamefully inexpensive. The ambience more than pleasing with the super darn exceptional service! Seis stars!!! read more

This place is insanely good and insanely cute! It's nestled in the adorable Sticks shopping center with an open-air dining area. We visited as apart of a food tour and were quickly greeted by a basket of fresh tortilla chips and jalapeño lime margaritas. I was concerned that the margarita would be too spicy for me, but it was a artful mix of tangy and spicy--a very pleasant heat. From there, we were served a sea bass fish taco which was paired with a pleasant salsa, which added a nice bite to the taco. The taco itself was one of the best fish tacos I've ever had, and I could really taste the freshness. Our waitress was also a delight and we had the pleasure of meeting Mari, one of the owners. She truly exuded a sense of pride and passion about the restaurant! This was truly a fantastic bite and I would return! read more

This place is cool! If you are in the midtown area, give it a try! I did not try their cocktails, but they looked pretty amazing AND the seating is setup you drink in a shaded outdoors area which was nice! I dont think smoking or vaping is allowed however. We sat inside-ish, as the entire restaurant is open air (which is cool but has a small concern too) and very clean. The staff were all helpful and friendly. the menu is small but great! Seriously, some local mexican food places have menus that are just too big really. You dont need 60 items on your menu. Just have 25 and do them well? What do i know though, i didnt feel they were missing anything. I should have looked for tamales and Chile Colorado, two of my favorites. I had to order the eggs and chorizo combination plate, my friend had the wet burrito. He said he enjoyed the burrito, but it was lacking in spice. He isnt a spice king either. The burrito was giant as well! My plate was great, the rice was actually the best rice I have had locally and the whole pinto beans were a nice surprise, as normally they are refried. The eggs and chorizo were delicious, as well as the flour tortillas. I will definitely be back, might see if they have a taco tuesday and get something to drink for real! read more

Have you ever been to a place where the people just seem really, really NICE? That was 100% my experience here! My husband and I popped over to Chuy's to grab some margaritas to celebrate our anniversary. Although it was a bit chilly, we grabbed a seat out on the patio and asked if one of the heaters could be turned on. We were even lucky enough to meet Chuy himself when he came out to help! Him and my husband just starting chatting -- they have family in the same place and everything -- and he was seriously just a super nice guy, and made us feel beyond welcome. That level of genuine kindness and customer service really goes a long way for me, and I can't say enough positive things. For the food -- we only got margaritas and the queso appetizer. Both were really delicious, and came out SUPER fast which is always a plus! The waitress was all over our chips and salsa needs, and came back to see if we wanted a 2nd margarita right as our first was finishing. Can't wait to come back and try more food that Chuy's has to offer! read more
