SAADMay 1, 2018One of the best Chicken fajitas I’ve ever had 👌🏼 Get the chicken quesadilla or anything from the enchiladas menu .. enjoy 😉🤙🏼
tomly tJuly 22, 2016Can't go wrong with King's Punch and Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom enchiladas! Happy hour has many sauces and quesos. Go early since its standing room only and hard to find parking during happy hour.- Blair AllenSeptember 15, 2018Chuy's is a Texas institution - most Texans are 33% Jalapeno Ranch, true story. Pop over for lunch or dinner any day for the friendliest service. Happy Hour is 4-7 and they have a FREE nacho car!
They have happy hour before 7pm and you can get drinks and food at happy hour process as well as free queso and chips
KM BorenJanuary 24, 2015Wonderful creamy jalapeño ranch dip & fresh finely chopped tomato dip with fresh cilantro served with crispy chips when you are seated. The Elvis Presley Me Combo dinner was a lot of food.
Ana MartínezNovember 18, 2013Enjoy fiesta size margaritas with nachos. Best Mexican food in Houston. The staff is very welcoming and also expect awesome service. Great for birthday celebrations and family reunions. good place.- MarniAugust 6, 2014Creamy jalapeño is the best stuff ever. Also love the boom boom sauce. I have them put those on everything!
Alex S.June 7, 2012My favorite dish there has been chile relleno (with cheese) and house Margarita (I prefer strawberry flower, frozen). Chile relleno is high in cals, but good. I would call it their signature dish.- Green chile festival in August-September is outstanding. Special food and drink menu with Hatch chiles. Always the Texas martini is an outstanding margarita.
Parking can be a problem as the lot is small, there is also the construction issue along Westheimer that makes it even more difficult to get in and out of the parking lot.
Marwan MzMarch 23, 2019An amazing Tex Mex food .. i love their fajitas, tacos and the nachos were 8.5/10- Damon SununtnasukMarch 11, 2019Cheap and reasonable. Funny tshirts are probably better than the food
Sachin ShahSeptember 18, 2016They have decent vegetarian options. I think the vegetable enchiladas could have been cooked better but the green chili rice and the creamy jalapeno dip were both very good.
The Boom Boom Sauce is your off-the-menu spicy vegetarian queso. Also known as #awesomesauce. Order it. Every time.
Ground sirloin burrito with added queso is just short of heaven! And save some of that yummy jalapeño sauce to drip on it too
mikE WalkerAugust 21, 2013Try the Baja tacos with fried shrimp. This is the best combination of seafood and Mexican food you will ever eat!
Kat KeeterOctober 4, 2011Mexi-Cobb salad and flautas are really good!! Make sure to ask for the creamy jalapeño sauce Fir dipping. And don't forget to order a Texas martini!!!
Rogbe StokesApril 2, 2013Chuys brew and an Elvis green chile fried chicken...ask for the one with the fried egg and the boom boom sauce!
Gagan SinghMay 29, 2015Vegetarian food is good here. There are few tasty options like enchiladas, burritos, nachos, tacos etc.
The sauce that comes with the ships and salsa is so good! Loved the Chuys chimichanga
Chad SmalleyNovember 8, 2011My favorite here has long been the chicken flautas. Make sure you get the cilantro ranch for your chips as well as the salsa.
Houston PressAugust 12, 2014Founded in Austin, this is a favorite hangout of young Anglos who like to drink. Read more
Quique MJune 2, 2013This place Rocks!!! My first Tex-Mex experience very cool, great service and great food.
Chalupas are delicious, but the nachos are where it's at. Piled high with guacamole and cheese!
Try the Compquesto, and if you're there on Saturday or Sunday, the Bang! Pow! Enchiladas are supreme and very spicy.
Luke LenglMay 28, 2012Ask for the creamy jalapeno sauce when they bring out your chips! That stuff is awesome!
John ChandlerAugust 4, 2017Taste was adequate but the level of oil in the food left me regretting it later.
Cliff HebnerApril 15, 2013Come in on Saturday or Sunday so you can get the green chile carnitas. Amazing.
Houston Press Street Team ManagerMay 7, 2013Try the creamy jalapeno sauce! It's so good you'll want to drink it!
Ingrid RussmannMarch 8, 2010Order Stuffed Sopapilla with queso as your sauce (not on menu, but they make it--chicken, beef, or bean&cheese). Pour creamy jalapeno over a bowl of green chile rice.
Paige ValentineJune 26, 2011Creamy jalapeno sauce ftw! You have to ask for it...it's not on the menu, but it's free!
Get the Bang Pow Enchiladas - Served Saturdays and Sundays. Pork and green chilies pack perfect heat with tons of flavor.
Allen ArcadeAugust 15, 2010If you can't find parking or dislike the crowded bar motif, drive west a few miles to their 9350 Westheimer location. Same food but easier to park unless this is your after work meeting place...
AndrewFebruary 10, 2015Prepare to wait for a long time if you just walk in. The food is good, but I don't think it's worth waiting over an hour for.
Kerri LewinSeptember 24, 2010Bring a framed photo of your dog for the Chihuahua Bar & they will hang it & give you a free appitizer. Check out my Elvis to the right of the Cadillac Chip Bar.- Clint DolbyMay 4, 2015Chuy Gooey, Steak burrito, Chica Chica Boom Boom, Green Chile Taquitos, Elvis Memorial Combo
- Sumeer TejpalApril 21, 2010If you order a chuychanga ask for delux tomatillo sauce to be on top of the chuychanga in addition to the queso. TO DIE FOR.
Jalapeno cream sauce, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom & Chuychsnga & Tres Leches rock!
Heather WhiteJune 11, 2010I usually love Chile Relleno....but their's is more like a chicken fried relleno. But their boom boom sauce is awesome!
