I really like this Chuy’s restaurant and hope they open back up at this Alafaya Trail location as they are the best Mexican restaurant by Waterford Lakes.

Love Chuy's! This is our favorite location. They'll customize anything on the menu. One of my favorite low carb/keto dishes is simply the side of fajita chicken covered in melted cheese. They also have a weekly happy hour nacho trunk. It has ground beef, liquid cheese, & beans. It's a great addition to a week day meal. There are also daily specials. My husband loves the Thursday stuffed Avocado.

They have really good Tex mex... Theres always fresh chips as they make them there. You can even watch them being made. The decor is really cool. Hubcaps on the ceiling. Metal palm trees inside... I like the steak burrito.

Chuy's never disappoints, especially this location. We always sit on the bar side of the restaurant and the staff is friendly, attentive, and fast. The Tres Leches is a favorite dessert of ours. Be sure to say hello to the local outside kitty cat "Taco". ??

Went on a Friday night with my girlfriend around 8:30 pm. Was seated and server came and seemed not very friendly. We knew what we wanted as we have been to Chuys before, ordered received our food and never saw our server again until she came to give us the bill. Never came around once to check if we needed anything or to refill our drinks(water and tea). A different person came by to clear dishes off table. Maybe I have too high expectations but I believe one should never run out of a drink or left without being checked on, especially when there were only 6 or so tables with diners in the entire building, I know this since I walked through to the restroom and observed the entire building. On the plus side, food was very good so props to the kitchen but poor for front of house.

Worst service ever. Let me rephrase that, no service at all. Waited at our table for fifteen minutes and no waiter or waitress came to us. A family was seated right behind and the waiter came immediately to take their drink order. Another family came in and the same thing again. I got up and asked the hostess about someone taking our order and she said that someone would be right over. I sat down to wait for our waiter or waitress and the same thing happened again, another family came in another waitress went to them. We got up and left the restaurant. We have been there before but this was the last time. As we were leaving there were 5 waiters/waitresses by the hostess podium, that was the last straw. Never again.

Been to Chuy's on several occasions with no problem. Went on Friday and had a wait, so we waited outside for a text. Next thing I realized all groups those that came before and after us were seated. When I watched a couple go to the booth then get seated I knew there was a problem. So when I got up to check what was happening we then received a text. We did not get an apology or anything, I asked the host why were we last when we came in first she said that the tables in the middle that were empty were for large groups and we only had two. At that point I was ready to leave but my husband talked me into staying. But of course while we sat a party of two was seated in the very same section for large groups smh. Anyways, when our waitress came she greeted us with such wonderful energy not knowing anything that we dealt with prior to getting seated that it lead to a wonderful experience. Our waitress was amazing! If it wasn't for the hostess which is important because they provide the first interaction with a customer, I would have given a 5 for this visit.
I came here on an evening with my family and overall it was great. Our group consisted of 10 people, originally thought it was 8, and we were seated pretty much immediately. When I walked in, they gave us a seat and luckily, the table next to us just left and so we combine the tables and were able to do it smoothly. If you have never been to Chuy's before, you know that the interior is a mix design of a bunch of things that you have no idea what the theme actually is. It is really good tex-mex food though and consistent. The server recommend we get the mixed platter and it came with all sorts of their menu item and came out to be about $12 a plate. They also come with fresh chips and salsa and jalpeno ranch dip. My favorite is the jalepeno ranch sauce, i put it on everything. You see someone in the dining room behind the glass on a turning skillet making fresh tortillas for the tacos and it is nice to know that they arent getting it out a bag and it is made fresh. Will definitely be back at a Chuy's again.

We usually like it here but today was not the best. First my meal had chicken bones in it. Had to spit out my food as it was so hard. Then after showing this big piece of bone then my wife gets 2 small pieces of bone in her meal. We did find out this is not the first time this week people have had bone in there dish. We have 2 kids so this scares me a bit. Love it hear especially with kids but we may have to take a break for a while and hope the cooks can take the bones out of the chicken before they serve it.

You get a lot of food for your money (I always have leftovers) and it tastes fresh. I also like that they give you unlimited free refills of their chips and salsa.

Went to Chuy's when they first opened and then stopped for a few years. We had found other places we enjoyed better. We received a gift card and decided to go back. Kids had standard chicken quesadillas, I had the Baja fish tacos. The fish was good but the batter they used was heavier than I would have liked. I also wish the fish had been in pieces rather than one long fish stick essentially. Rice had a good kick. I think we'd still go elsewhere that have a better selection for food but if need be, we'd eat here again.
