  This place was recommended by a friend to try when we came to visit Austin. Showed up on a Friday night during dinner time. Wait was said to be an hour but I knew it wouldn't be that long since people wouldn't be willing to wait. We got sat in 25 min. Location is filled with UT students and young staff but service was good and fast.
  
  I ordered the avocado green enchiladas. My wife wasn't hungry so we shared. Chips and salsa are free and delicious which is a nice perk. Coming from CA, my standards for Mexican food are pretty high but for being a chain restaurant, Chuys holds up.

  I love Chuy's! My first Chuy's experience was somewhere in Dallas but this is the original location and the one I've been to the most.
  
  Their hatch/queso con carne is a MUST. It's just so freaking good and my favorite thing on the whole menu. I also love their enchiladas and really anything drenched in their special sauce (the name is escaping me at the moment).
  
  The margaritas are great and so are any desserts. Really everything here is good. It's got a casual ambiance that's a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. One of my favorite stops whenever I'm in Texas!

  I was looking for tex mex while I was in town and this place was recommended to me. My friend and I stopped in here on our way to the Barton Springs pool. We got here a little before they opened but just waited until they were ready for us.
  We started off with the queso compuesto, which has steak, guac and pico in it. This was pretty tasty, I've never had queso with stuff in it so this was cool. I love cheese in all forms. I also had a marg.
  For the main event I went with the steak burrito listed under their house specialties. It was good and filling, plenty of steak, sauce, cheese. I kind of wish I'd gotten sour cream and guac to add some freshness to it, but overall, it was still good as is. Washed it down with a michelob ultra. It scratched a Tex mex itch, I'd go again if I was in the area.

  Come on man! This is THE Chuy's!!! It's as Austin as the Bats! You have to know this place!
  
  So this isn't my first rodeo here and nor will it be my last. The Happy Hour Nacho Car is always a signature Chuy move and I love it!
  
  I always sit at the bar, order a grande house marg (salted rum for sure), and chow on the chips with Jalapeño cream sauce.
  
  I must mention Hatch Chile season is here and Chuy's elevates off the charts! Get a New Mexican Martini you will not be disappointed.
  
  Do I get the food? Sometimes. Is it good? I did say I come here a lot so yes to infinity and beyond!

  As a girl who LOVES authentic Mexican food, I usually don't like chain tex-Mex places but Chuy's has NEVER disappointed!!! I absolutely love their quesadillas and appetizer plate, you get a little bit of everything and it ends up being filling enough to take home leftovers and make two meals out of it!! I love their chicken flautas and quesadillas, their chicken is always very tender and juicy, never dry! Everything has great seasoning and I love that their tortillas taste wayyy more homemade than most chain Mexican restaurants.
  Their queso and salsa are unique in the way that the queso has a bit of a chili flavor and the salsa is quite chunky but they're both very delicious. No, this isn't quite your homemade Mexican comfort food but it's some of the best Tex-Mex that you'd never expect for a chain!! I highly recommend!
