Oh Chuy's how you have changed! My favourite mesquite fish taco is twice as much money and much less taco. $7.00 al carte taco!! My favourite chicken wings with the horseradish dressing are no longer there. They taste just like the same buffalo sauce every one else uses. The wings were under done and they did not look like happy chickens as the bones were shredding. The salsa bar has no chips as I assume they cost money too. My favourite red sauce that they used to have in the squeeze bottle at the salsa bar is no longer there. I am sad to say that, it's likely my last visit to Chuy's as the prices are very high for the quality and size of food we had. $35.00 for lunch and that was with some Happy Hour football prices.

The food is killer

Absolutely horrible, will never eat anything ever here again. I live in town, and want yo like Chuy's. I've ordered the salmon tacos, --the salmon had worms. Yes worms, no not fat or connective tissue. I let that pass because they can't control that.
However, last night was the last straw.. ordered tri-tip /chicken combo plate. The chicken leg and thigh piece were old and dry. The thigh portion was small and just bones. I sent it back. $20 should get me at least half a breast and a leg. I got a slightly larger thigh as replacement. Lame.
The chicken was barely lukewarm and flavorless. Whatever, its a sports bar.
Then, i tried the tri-tip. I couldn't believe it. It was literally less then room temperature, and blood raw. Important: I never specified rare/medium/ or well because tri tip is usually medium unless you request otherwise. It was , I'm not kidding, like 70° meat. I sent THAT back. The cook put it on the flat iron for maybe 30 seconds.
It was absolutely devoid of any seasoning. I rarely add salt or pepper to a steak. I was desperate, and you guessed it.... No salt or pepper shakers at any of the tables. My once-lukewarm steak was dying again.
Having to ask for basic seasoning, I finally just ate the meat. It also tasted old. The girl asked me if everything was ok. I was nice, but honest and said it was awful. She aplogized, did her best, but I still got billed full pop. Like I said, I want to like the food, but after multiple fails, I give up. Vallarta is the next parking lot. Just go there.
DO. NOT. EAT. HERE.

Memories from going in Moor Park as kids, and confirmed this is a continuation of the same place! Win! The vibe is awesome and definitely liked by locals. The food was delicious, well-priced, and fresh. margaritas did not disappoint! Service was super nice and quicker that 99% of places I've eaten, including fast food! We'll be stopping by whenever we're in the area!

Went in for happy hour on a taco Tuesday. Ordered a 24 oz marg, they brought it out in a smaller glass. When I asked she said she made it a double in a smaller glass. The fish tacos ordered off the happy hour menu were really small.
Terrible happy hour. Still searching Simi ...

Overall, the food was great! The lunch menu is good value.

However, this was something odd to me: I came here for lunch and after I initially ordered something, I changed my mind and ordered something else, paid, and then when I looked at the receipt, it had both items. It seemed odd to me that the cashier would think I would want 2 lunch entrees, and so when I asked to remove the first one because it was a mistake, she said no. This was before I received my food and right after payment.
