Colorful décor, fantastic service, fresh tortillas, and ice cold margaritas … if you love all of this then you’ll love Chuy’s!
Chuy’s is a chain that started in Austin, Texas and is now in 23 different cities with more coming soon! It is full of eclectic décor, fun souvenirs, a bar, and even a tortilla station where fresh tortillas are made. In the bar is the front end of a car. During Happy Hour (Monday – Friday; 4pm – 7pm) they have a self-serve nacho bar served out of the “pimped-out nacho car.” Our first trip to Chuy’s was in Plano, Texas while visiting my parents. On our last trip to Walt Disney World I noticed there was a Chuy’s close to where we were staying. We ate there 3 times that week … yeah, we love Mexican food and I’m a sucker for homemade tortillas (something I can’t get at any restaurant where I live).
We start every meal with a Chuy Gooey. Don’t look for it on any menu because you won’t find it. It’s a “secret” item and it’s delicious!
This bowl of flavors has beans, meat, cheese, jalapeno, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and shredded lettuce! You can make your own version of this from the free happy hour nacho bar but for our family, we love this giant bowl of deliciousness to share!
Cheese Enchiladas are my thing. Growing up in San Diego, I ate a lot of cheese enchiladas. They are the one item on which I judge every Mexican restaurant. Chuy’s has some of the best cheese enchiladas. (I know, how can someone screw up a cheese enchilada? Trust me, it has been done.) One of the great things about Chuy’s is that you can choose your sauce – Ranchero, Tex Mex, Hatch Green Chile, and Tomatillo (to name a few). I always get the Ranchero.
You also get your choice of beans – refried or charro. I get the charro beans which are a delicious “bean soup.”
(Not shown but equally delicious are the crispy tacos, nachos, and the Chuychanga!)
Looking to have a nice frosty beverage with your meal? My recommendation is the Coronita Margarita! Delicious!
