  We came on Easter Sunday for an early dinner. The service was exceptional! Our server was very attentive and paid attention to our needs. The rest of the staff was also very warm and friendly. My husband is the hardest of all to please when it comes to portions and quality. He was very happy with both. Even made a comment "There is more shrimp in this here than any other place we've been!" That is a huge compliment. We will absolutely recommend to friends and family.

  This has become my fav Mexican restaurant down the road from us. Several years ago when we tried it, it was meh at best but they have upped their game 100%.  Not sure if it was a simple management/staff change or a full change in ownership. Regardless, you need to check it out.
  
  My favorite is something that's not on the menu but they're great at accommodating any requests. Because they're the only local Mexican place I'm aware of that makes their own corn tortillas, I ask for grilled chicken, raw onion and fresh cilantro on them with spicy tomatillo and lime on the side.
  
  I'm typically a flour tortilla gal but only Chuys (to my knowledge) makes them fresh and in-house. The corn ones here are made to order and are almost  have a mix of flour/corn taste to me with a very soft pleasant texture. They're not dry and don't crack when picking them up. You can't beat them! Chips are fresh and served warm and the salsa is pretty on par with other local fare but nothing special like Garcia's who's is all fresh and more like pico. This is the only change I'd like to see in the near future.
  
  The Gold margaritas are wonderful and you can order them by the pitcher but you better have a driver because they don't hold back! Katie bar the door!
  
  All in all, I just love this place. The service is always exceptional, the atmosphere is steadily getting better as they're in the midst of upgrading with new tile, decor, etc. and it's all reasonably priced. So if you're looking for a good Mexican spot that's not a chain, you may want to check this place out.

  40 minutes. FORTY minutes. No one checked on us. The table next to us had 8 people and the waiter was falling all over himself to serve them. We eventually just left. I can't believe this place is even in business allowing customers to be ignored. My advice if you do decide to eat here, go with a large group. You'll come near getting noticed. Nobody even brought us water. The last straw was seeing a manager behind the bar sucking down a big glass of ice water. We were thirsty too. But I guess that didn't matter.

  These guys are great. Menu is pretty standard southern American Mexican food, done well. The staff is amazing and always so friendly. I recommend the tacos de carne asada.
