In Short – Inside, surfboards, mounted fish and Hawaiian and Mexican tchotchkes adorn the walls. The outdoor bar, built over Lake Austin in a large, 360-degree, thatched-roofed hut is a hot spot for sipping margaritas. Patios are shaded, but tanning is also a pastime. After a day at the lake, groups of friends sample coconut shrimp and tubular tacos, or fusion favorites like mango and poblano chili quesadillas or grilled salmon tacos.

Another austin eatery that rides only on its reputation.

If 7-11 Were to make a restaurant based on there frozen food section they might as well call it Chuys Hula Hut. First off the salsa was inedible, which made us order the queso, maybe that is there evil plan because the very small queso was 5 bucks. Second, i ordered a burrito and it seriously tasted like i just went to the grocery store and bought the 100 burrito package for 99 cents and poured sauce on it. Everyone was cramped onto that tiny deck, i dunno how the waiters were able to move around. I cannot portray my anger enough for the salsa. DISGUSTING. I left Broke as heel with a stomach ache. I hope a flood takes that place with it.

Great all around

We went there for my 50th birthday on a Saturday at 1:00 p.m. It was already crowded and we probably had about an hour wait; which is the norm from what I had read on other reviews. We had a party of 20 and they crammed us all together to where we were bumping elbows but we made it work by spreading out around the ends of the tables so it wasn't too bad. The waitress was EXTREMELY nice. I believe her name was Anna (she was pregnant). She was awesome and very friendly. The food...I had their chicken chile relleno and OMG it was delicious!! My daughter had the tubular steak taco which was good as well. The atmosphere was great. Very relaxed. It's well worth the wait once you get seated.

  • Pros: Great food; great atmosphere
  • Cons: The wait, but well worth it
