Went tonight. Am a Texan who used to go to the original back in the early 1990s on Barton Springs. I was impressed. Got the combo fajitas, where were very good especially for the price. A lot of meat (I asked for only meat and cheese). Service was excellent, inside was very nice. I had low expectations as the one by me in Dallas sucked (and closed), but this was solid. Peer to Guapo's which I like, but had more meat for about the same price. Expect I will go back. Thanks.

I got to know this place with my coworkers and we had a great time. Our host was magnificent, cheerful, friendly and fun. They had activities for the children. It is an excellent option to go with family and friends! Don’t hesitate to go and meet him.????????????????

On the recommendation of family I decided to find out for myself if Chuy's would measure up to their excellent version of Tex Mex cuisine. I had a craving for chicken fajitas and what came out was a scrumptious platter of perfectly seasoned, tender chicken. It was accompanied by a plethora of the freshest toppings i.e tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, and shredded cheese. I eagerly feasted on the most pleasurable bites of savory goodness from the chips and salsa to the very last perfectly warmed tortilla wrap. Don't wait for Cinco de Mayo. Just go and have yourself a guaranteed epicurean delight!

Love the vibe and decor! Music playing, makes it fun. Chips and salsa served when seated, yummy! Had fast service too. Beef fajitas arrived sizzzzxling smoking hot, onions and peppers cooked just right. Great homemade tortillas too. Overall an awesome dinner. Will be back for the monster burrito, maybe the enchiladas, hmmmm hard drcisions.

One of the best chips and salsa in town. Ordered Steak fajitas (Meat wasn't as tender and a little bit chewy. Everything else is amazing like service and atmosphere.

Definitely recommend. We visit from Florida every year for Thanksgiving and ended up eating here the first day. I really have zero complaints. First the chips they give you and salsas were so good. Secondly, I had a steak burrito and it was SO GOOD, probably the best burrito I’ve had in my life. Now most of the times you order something and tastes so good, it’s a small portion, but this was not the case. Their portions are huge so totally worth the cost. My SO and kids also loved their food. The server was very attentive, nice and we had a great time. To top it all off, I didn’t realize and I left my wallet there I didn’t even notice till the next day. I came by before they were open to ask if I had left it there and they had it there saved and all the cash was in there. Coming back tonight before we head home because we were just THAT happy with this place :)
