“The waiter Huber basically told us what not to order. NOTE When you come to this location bring your own silverware, we had to share a knife among 3 people. The enchiladas & steak, more like a slice of brisket drenched in a salty cheese sauce. Awful!! The beef enchilada, unflavored ground meat, again drenched in a red sauce WITH cheese. Cancun tilapia again with cheese and 8 tiny cocktail shrimp - no garlic sauce The plate was hot but not the food. At 8ish on a saturday night they only had 3 or 4 tables, no more than 12 people, including us 3 If they were starting to close for the day, they should've close the area they were cleaning. I don't appreciate smelling 'Fabuloso" while I'm eating with the mop bucket next to my table. Really your motto should be "Why are you still in business..." Marked as 1st and last on places not to visit. Overpriced for the food quality“

“Let me just start off with this, I like Chili's 3 for 11 deal.. there are not a lot of places you go to these days where you get an appetizer, entre and a drink for 11.00+/-, good price for the quantity of food items. We went at lunch time- the food tasted good, nothing was undercooked and/or burnt. The server was super attentive, polite and super fast. The only thing I didn't like were the bathrooms-super dark and the first table we were sitting in was sticky. Other than that it was pretty good.“

“My recent lunch at Chuy's in Pasadena was a lively foray into Tex-Mex cuisine, shared with my sister. We indulged in their famed 'Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom'—a dish that's as fun to say as it is to eat. The service was impeccable, with staff exuding warmth and attentiveness. The bill came as a slight shock at $40 pre-tip, hinting at the sting of inflation, yet it's a sign of the times rather than a reflection on Chuy's. While the prices have risen, so has the caliber of the experience.Wheelchair accessibility: New building“
