Chuy’s
Quirky Tex-Mex (l,d; $$)
Chuy’s is a local chain of Tex-Mex restaurants known for their wacky décor, super casual atmosphere, and huge portions of fresh, hot, homemade food.
Connoisseurs of Tex-Mex food might find things to quibble with, but go in with an open mind and you’re sure to come out with a full stomach.
The battered and fried chile rellenos are spicy hot and oozy, the fajitas are always sizzling, and Chuy’s makes their own fantastic flour tortillas in-house.
Owned by the same folks who own Hula Hut – the Mexican Polynesian place on Lake Austin.
