I got 2 chico barbacoa tacos and my daughter got 2 chico carne asada tacos. My food was very flavorful and the size was great for the price. I got a Jamaica which was not too sweet and not to too sour. The total came out to around $10.
Our waitress was sweet and very attentive without being annoying. I am learning Spanish so tried talking with her en Español and she was helpful and said she is learning English, so we tried to communicate in each other's languages which was funny and interesting.
I want to go back to try their breakfast burritos.
The last two times I've been here I have always had the best customer service. The lady ( I didn't get her name but she's usually in the front greeting and seating people) is radiantly friendly, although she doesn't know English completely, she does her best on making sure I get my order correctly. She's super sweet, one of the best customer service people that I have experienced. Their food is really GOOD as well!!! Plus you get free chips and salsa. The first time I came I got the albondigas soup, it had a lot of flavor and was a good portion size. The second time I got their tacos, I think I got shredded beef or barbacoa, the meat was moist, tender & flavorful. The tortillas didn't go soggy like most places. I usually would have more to say but it's been over a month since the last time I came & I kept forgetting to write this review that they deserve. Definitely check this place out!
I, like many, have a love for tacos. Don Chuy's, by far, has the best this side of the border...maybe both sides. Flavor on top of flavor. My daughter is a vegetarian and they make her a special burrito, she loves it. I've gone at least once a week, since I discovered it. Everyone is amazing, Senor Don Chuy is often there and a lovely server, whose name I always fail to get, is usually there. She doesn't speak much English and I, unfortunately, don't speak much Spanish but we make it work and it's worth it to do so. Oh! The guacamole sauce...I can't even describe it, I'm addicted and I always get extra to eat with fries at home!!!Best best and best. I just left and I'm thinking about going back!!
Place is not that great... don't ask for extra chips and salsa because you will be charged for it $3.99...
They got my order wrong but I didn't complain.
Food was eatable but didn't warrant the the price I paid...
Don't blame me I told you so!
