My husband and I went here for lunch. The food was delicious, and we had plenty of leftovers. I went out to my car after paying for our food. I quickly realized I had left out to go boxes. I went back in and they had already cleaned our table, and the food was gone. I went and asked the hostess to see if maybe they had put it in the back, but the busser had thrown it away. The hostess was super sweet and remade all the items that were in the boxes and even included chips and salsa. This was really appreciated because they didn’t have to do that as it was my fault that I left my food. Wonderful customer service! We will definitely be going back!

MichaelAngelo was genuinely the best server I've ever had and that's coming from a Darden employee of 8 years! He was on top of everything and was so nice! I'll be his new regular for sure! That pineapple marg was awesome!

Enjoyed an absolutely wonderful Pancho's plate at Chuy's in San Marcos. Our waitress, Kennedy was very courteous and helpful. She's a real asset to this restaurant! Good food, good service, good atmosphere! Try them!

Had dinner here 3-28 and the food and drinks were delicious! The spicy watermelon martini is a must try. Overall what really highlighted our visit was our server Micah, she was informative on the menu, made recommendations, and provided us with the best service we have experienced in San Marcos. Will definitely be coming back and requesting Micah as our server

This place is a mainstay for us. The service is fast and friendly, food is consistently good and the price has not Inflated ridiculously (14 a plate 7 for the dessert). The Tres Leches is one of the best I've had. Pictures show the urgency of the taste buds wanting!

Love coming to this Chuy’s when visiting the outlets. We had the combination fajitas and the chica boom enchiladas (my fav)! You must try their frozen margarita swirl. I like the strawberry mango, sweet and tart.

Our service was great. Wish I remembered the girls name, (very long hair). Loved our appetizer plater and the Elivis special. (Picture curtesy of my 3yo.)

Very enjoyable meal. First time at this location, and the experience was magnitudes better than what I had begun to associate with the chain. Service was spot on, available but not rushing us out the door like other locations. The burrito was great as always.
