What People Are Saying About Chuy's
Featured Review
Contributor
Contributor
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 didn't order the Chewy Chonga!
by Rumblenut at Citysearch
Ok, so I stroll up to Chuy's in my cool Austinite ride after a long day of telling hot chicks to keep their hands off my beautiful car. (I hate oily finger prints on my waxed 7 layer, laquer paint job on my 74' Pantera) I order one of my favorite comfort food dishes, 'The Chimichonga"! I've had it a hundred times, a hundred ways and I know when a Chimi is done to perfection! After ordering the waitress finally brings me my order but at 10 feet from the table I could see trouble approaching. My heart sank, my stomach turned. My Chimi was all brown from over cooking. It reminded me of a big ape turd I had seen in a zoo once as a child and it scared the hell outa me! This was like a bad flash back for sure. The waitress left and I hesitantly cut into the thing. It made a sound I've never heard before! It was hard and it crunched like no Chimi should ever crunch. The ends are usually a little harder because of the thickness but shouldn't be brick hard. She came back later and asked if everything was ok and I told her no, everything was not ok. I told her my Chimichanga was way over cooked and she looked at me and said, "OMG, That's over cooked!" That's when the ugly truth sunk in. If I'm not a chef and I know what a good chimichanga should look like, and the waitress knows also, then why did the one person who should definitely know, (THE CHEF), send out a burned chimichanga and why didn't the waitress who knew it was over cooked bring it to me instead of tell them it's not fit for consumption, unless you're a dog. Well, that did it for me. You pay good money and they knowingly bring you pooh. Brown, crunchy, ape pooh. As if they're hurting for money, please.
