Dallas, TX

Mexican

$20 to $30

Our rating: 2 forks

This Tex-Mex diner/Elvis shrine is famous in and around Austin, Texas with more scattered around the states. Stop in and try some of their sweet gulf shrimp tacos or chili relleno.

Order a margarita and ask for the salsa sampler (only available on request) to go with the house made chips. Shrimp tacos are my favorite here, but have been removed from the regular menu, look for them as a special.

Chuy's had a location in Tustin, CA for less then a year but it closed in 1997, I believe, due to a dispute with another chain of a similar names Chuy's Baja Broiler.
