It was literally the smallest carne asada fries I've ever gotten. I was planning to share it with my daughter, but It barely worked as a meal for just her. For almost $20, that's kind of crazy.

I scored this a 3 because it was very lackluster, the burrito is a fair size, however approximately…read more25% of it was folded tortilla. The wet sauce was basic flavor, tasted canned. I paid $9.50 for a wet bean and cheese burrito, price seems excessive for beans, cheese, tortilla and canned red sauce. The menu showed $6.50 for the burrito, meaning the wet sauce was a large up charge. I got red and green sauce on the side, the green was bland, red had a little spice. Drive through is a little tight for larger vehicles. Small parking lot for free parking. No inside dining, but they do have some tables in front and walk up window to order. Service was average. Probably wouldn't go back to this location, there are too many other options for Mexican food in SD.

I figured if these people are waiting, then it must be good. Ordered a surf and turf burrito, a Carne Asada burrito and two tacos. Tacos were OK but the surf and turf burrito only had two shrimp. The Carne Asada meat had a lot of grisle and fat. Looks like I'll be staying with Sombrero's across the street. Never had a problem there and the food is always good.

We especially love the rolled tacos, California burrito, and their rice and beans... all amazing every time. On top of that, the service is fast and our orders are always accurate. Highly recommend!

Needed a quick bite to eat so to Yelp i went ... saw Chuys had some good looking food and reviews so we took the 9 minute drive from Parkway Plaza after some holiday shopping. Upon walking in there is about nine bar stools aligned the L shaped bar table for sitting along the left wall/window. Place was spotless, super clean with pretty dope street art to your right! The woman at the register was very nice and the cook seemed to carry a great attitude as well. I noticed many customer coming were returning customers which is something I always like to see. California burrito was packed with meat and cooked to absolute perfection. I could actually taste the carne asada over everything which is honesty rare for me. The guacamole was not oozing out nor was it overpowering the taste of the whole burrito. The size of this thing was as about the size of my forearm! Filled me up for sure!! 6 rolled tacos with guacamole, sour cream and cheese was also perfectly cooked. Perfect amount of crunch on the ends and not too soft in the middles. Plenty of meat in the rolled tacos as well, which you could also taste well through all the toppings! We'll definitely be seeing you again soon Chuy's!!!

I ordered a California burrito and asked to swap in adobado pork. No hesitation, no side‑eye, just a nod and a "you got it." That alone puts them ahead of half the shops in the county. The burrito itself delivered. The adobado came through with that deep red glow and smoky tang, the kind of flavor that feels like it's been tended to, not rushed. Fold that into fries, cheese, and a tortilla doing quiet, reliable work, and you get a bite that hits all the right notes. Rich, bright, salty, satisfying. It's a simple thing done well, which is exactly what you want from a neighborhood taco shop. Chuy's isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. They're just making a damn good burrito and treating you right while they do it.
