Creamy jalapeño is really jalapeño ranch. Very good. I listened to every tip and was not disappointed at all. Strawberry margarita , tomatillo sauce and tortilla soup . Thanks everyone.

Austin Chronicle

With hubcaps, colored lights, and a velvet Elvis, this is Austin-style Tex-Mex at its tacky , funky best. It's almost always busy, but the creamy queso and chips is worth the wait.

Came on the last day of their green chile festival . The chile relleno was seriously the best I've ever had. Albert our server was outstanding! Was a great experience all around!

Daisy Zook

Had the chicken fajitas , taco al cabon (with chicken and beef ) and their special/fav dish with boom boom sauce . All were great. Chicken very well marinated.

There is no shortage of great restaurants in Austin, but Chuy's definitely has to be on this list for sure. Ask for creamy jalapeno dip to go with the chips when they bring them out." – Darryl Kotyk

Amanda

Has stayed true to its excellent self. Strawberry margaritas , creamy jalapeño for the chips and the number 9 lite plate rank high for me here. Love their complimentary chip/queso/salsa bar .

Alex Grismer

The food was not great, and the neither was the drink I had. But the service was perfect! My waitress was awesome, the bar tender was awesome, the manager was even awesome too!

Nicole McAfee

Ask for the creamy jalapeño ranch (complimentary ) with your chips and salsa . I also recommend the boom boom enchiladas--just a hint of heat and a lot of delicious!

Sascha Endlicher, M.A.

You have to be there for the Green Chile Festival , but it's really spicy ! It's too hot for some people, so before you order a big plate , ask the staff if there is a way to try a little of it first.

Jen Swanson

Had the house special steak burrito...soooo good! The chips and salsa are excellent too. Good portions, great prices, in a fun, friendly and quirky atmosphere. Service was great too.

Chuy's is open late on Fridays and Saturdays 'till 11 o'clock! That's pretty late for a sit down restaurant . If you have an appetite, get the Big as Yo' Face burrito covered in creamy jalapeno sauce !

Erin G

We thought this would be a great option before Parade of Lights...and so did everybody else. It was PACKED, but the staff members were efficient and friendly :)

Social News Network

Don't miss out on the creamy jalapeno . Also, this location can get packed around primetime, but they're open late ! Swing by around 9 or 10 on a Saturday night for a very short wait .

Daniel McDonough

Possibly the best fish tacos I've ever had. Also get the jalapeño ranch dip with your chips .

Cenk Gümüşcüoğlu

Good, spicy Tex-Mex. Not fancy but cozy enough to enjoy with friends.

Laura Sench

Everything was great here- stacked enchiladas , chicken fajitas , baba tacos , queso and salsa . Authentic and not overwhelmingly salty.

Jole P

Super good enchiladas and be sure to get the queso app and jalapeño ranch

Angela Mauro

Love the Appetizer Plate and any of their green chiles during their Hatch Green Chile festival ! And of course margaritas !

Laughing Squid

Look for the headshot of El Vez. They have a photo booth but it's almost always broken. Put the little round sticker from your silverware on the ceiling in the back room. Also: try the sopapillas .

Darryl Kotyk

There is no shortage of great restaurants in Austin, but Chuy's definitely has to be on this list for sure. Ask for creamy jalapeno dip to go with the chips when they bring them out.

Love em! Just wish they would bring back the mushrooms , the chick quesadilla just isn't the same. I 2nd the request for creamy jalapeno dip - AWESOME!

Adam Hutchinson

Go to Chuys. It will break you and you will like it. Beef fajitas are out of this world.

Steve Poland

Get the tres leches desert here- the best in the world. No need to eat here- just come for that dessert .

Andee Derby-Aguilera

Got the shrimp and cheese relleno with a side salad/cilantro lime vinaigrette .. STELLAR☆☆

Montanna Smith

I try queso at every restaurant that offers it, so far Chuy's and Torchy's are the only places with queso I will go out of my way for.

Boggy

Good food specially house special taco was delicious for reasonable price. Nice staff .

Jeffrey Carpenter

Green chile sauces are not vegetarian sadly. But the rice and beans are! And you can get fresh roasted green chiles in anything.

Ailie Chang

Creamy jalapeño ranch and Queso with chips . Fill up on that and get a Chicken Tortilla Soup .

Jose Pienknagura

Chips and fajitas are true Mexican delights. Good service and superb food.

Cheapism

Jason Leibowitz

It’s Tex Mex - very cheesy and saucy, but tasty.

Sascha Endlicher, M.A.

There are often long wait times on the weekend. If you are in town and just want to pay them a visit, try your luck weekdays between 2pm and 5pm.

Barrett Lane

Happy hour from 4-7. $4 Margs and free chips with unlimited salsa , beef , and queso . Effing magical.

Zac Snider

Best tex-mex in Austin. You'll want to put the queso in your veins. Bush twins infamously got arrested for using fake id's here.

Pearson - Always Learning

Tex-Mex perfection. Get the Elvis Memorial Combo Platter with a New Mexican Martini . Don't forget the queso !

Greg Y.

Order the steak fajitas . Order them for 1, order them for 2, order them for a zoo ... Just as long as you order them... Seriously!

Julia K

Chica chica boom boom enchiladas are fantastic! Not too spicy . You can handle it unless you're an amateur.

Divya Mulanjur

New Mexican martini and chicka chicks boom boom. And chips and queso . That'll keep you going for a whole day.

AV

Best beans I have ever had, worth any kind of flatulence.

joshua sowards

The Sampler Platter is amazing and more food than one person can handle. Great when you can't decide on one thing.

Jennifer Ruiz

Yummy Tex-Mex Place. Hit up their Happy Hour for a free nacho bar !

Kate Kniejski

Free nacho bar during happy hour , M-F 4-7p! Clear eyes, full tummies, can't lose!

Tyler Janik

Get the chuychanga(add the boom boom sauce ) it will make your stomach proud of you.

Social News Network

One of the only places that has a happy hour on Fridays. Less than $4 for margs until 7 pm every weekday

Lily

Homemade flour tortillas dipped in queso is life-changing.

Philip Gennaro

This place is so good. I loved the steak burrito . Spicy , tender, good.
