Chuy’s is about what you’d expect from a chain restaurant — all with a Tex-Mex twist. But one major bonus is it makes its food from scratch every day. You can choose from burritos, enchiladas, tacos, fajitas, soups, salads, or even a combo of several of these items. The King’s Memorial Combo features a ground beef enchilada, chicken enchilada, and cheese enchilada (all with different accompanying sauces), as well as a taco, chips, queso, rice, and refried beans. That is a lot of food for only around $17 (based on location).
Reviews for Chuy’s are mostly positive, though some Redditors think the quality of the food has dipped since the COVID-19 pandemic. Standout dishes include the “chuychanga,” which is a chimichanga (yes, it’s different from a burrito) stuffed with chicken and peppers, as well as the steak fajita and blackberry margarita. Some reviewers also have positive things to say about the atmosphere.
With nearly $500 million in sales in 2024, Chuy’s is the 110th largest chain restaurant in the U.S. according to the Technomic Top 500 Chain Restaurant Report (via Restaurant Business). So if you don’t have one near you, then you might very soon. And, as far as Tex-Mex cuisine goes, it appears to be one of the better chain options out there.
