In Short
Chuy's is always crowded, with most patrons sipping strawberry-flavored margaritas or Coronas at the bar as they endure the seemingly required 30-minute wait. A typical mix of students, families and rowdy professionals eye the Elvis decorations as well as the large plates of food. Vegetarian enchiladas are stuffed with chopped onions, peppers, mushrooms and zucchini. The smoked chicken quesadillas are folded, grilled rounds containing sliced poultry, cheese, mushrooms and onions.

I'm confused what the big deal is about. The food is good, definitely not great. We asked for their spiciest salsa only to find out we were already eating it (come on, this is Texas, we like spicy). Nothing was bad, but definitely not worth the hour wait. I think it's just the trendy place to go. There are plenty of restaurants with better, cheaper food and shorter waits.

I've been eating Mexican and Tex Mex for over 40 years in Houston, Dallas Ft. Worth,, San Antonio, Austin and a lot sof smaller towns all over the state. I'd rate Chuy's in the top 5 of all of them. The food was great, service was outstanding and although the price was a couple of dollars more than I normally pay at the majority of the other places the quantity was also greater. I was surprised at how busy it was at 4:30PM on a Friday but we didn't have any problem getting a seat right away.
