Finally! The Chewy's that I grew to live in Austin and here in Waco when it first opened seems to have gotten back on track. After several pretty poor meals, today was wonderful! The chips were thin, crunchy and fresh. The salsa Fresca is one of my favorite things offered at Chewy's. It is fresh with just enough heat to know it's there, but not overpowering.
The child's enchilada plate was very good and cheesy with the Ranchero sauce, and enough beans and rice to satisfy a very hungry child or even adult-a really good buy because it's only a dollar more than just one enchilada as a side, but also has the same amount of refried beans and Spanish rice that an adult plate would come with. So if you want a cheese enchilada but aren't super hungry, this is a good way to go.
I don't care for the sauce that comes with the chicken flautas, so I substitute cheese sauce and it's marvelous. Made with tender white meat chicken, and fried to be tender in the inside and crispy on the outside. It comes with a good amount of beans and rice, along with a salad of sour cream, nicely spiced guacamole and chopped tomatoes.
The only thing that sob wasn't super impressed with this evening was the side of guacamole. The flavor was fine, but for $2.35, I'd expect more that a heaping tablespoon.

The beef quesadillas were adequate -not great but not bad either. The steak burrito was dry and the sauce provided was not enough to cover even one fourth of the burrito. Historically I loved Chuy's after living in Austin where it originated and was always so good. The Chuy's in Waco was excellent for many years, however the last 14-18 months has seen the quality of the food quite diminished. Today was the first order since my last debacle of 6 months ago. Today was greatly improved but still not in line to what it was previously. The prices have gone up, I'd like to see the quality go up as well. The queso was good asks hot but $10 gets you about 1/4 cup of queso, so definitely not a good buy. The one thing that stays excellent throughout is the chips with salsa and zesty ranch.

Always feel like I'm getting more than my moneys worth with Chuy's. not only does everything taste great but you get a lot of food. A big bag of chips and I absolutely love the jalapeño cilantro dip and salsa. The assorted appetizer plate has so much on it and the dinners always have a big portion. I'm very often disappointed with DoorDash orders and value for money, but Chuy's is always dependable and feels like such a great choice.

Elvis Green Chili chicken is ALWAYS amazing & I'm so glad they brought it back to the menu! The sampler was also great for hungry teenagers & the food arrived hot & fresh. Will definitely be ordering again.

The Tex-Mex Enchiladas were not as tasty as the reviews stated. The nachos (for what you get) are barely nachos and not worth the price as they too do are deficient in taste. The tacos were enjoyable, but my family has had better. Sad to say, but the best part of the "meal" was the tortillas. I will not be ordering from Chuy's ever again.
