Chuy's Restaurant

We had dinner here, the food was good. Salsa was pretty spicy. Interesting place. more

This was our first time in Van Horn (on our way to San Antonio) we were very pleased with our meals and the service. Well done! Thank you! WE will remember the next time we come through. more

For being in the middle of nowhere, this place is amazing. I would drive there right now for an order of their gorditas. Seriously folks...little pockets of heaven. more

It seemed to be a bit of an institution in a town that had obviously seen better days. So rather than going for the predictable fare offered by the local DQ and Pizza Hut, I decided to see for myself what Chuys was all about. Despite the considerable football and other sports memorabilia hanging off the walls and the very prominent big-screen TV, this is a family kind of place. I was treated very nicely by the staff.\r \r It was either 1:30 or 2:30 in the afternoon -- I'm not exactly sure whether Van Horn observes Mountain or Central time -- and the place was doing a steady business.\r \r As the name suggests, Chuys is best known for Mexican food, so I ordered my standard favorite -- chicken enchiladas with green sauce. The menu also features ""American food"" -- burgers and the like -- for those who prefer something other than Mexican.\r \r My meal was, in a word, delicious. Just the right portion size. The price was also quite reasonable, at $7.95.\r \r I also had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, Chuy himself, who reminds me an awful lot of my dad -- a true gentleman.\r \r Should you find yourself on I-10 anywhere near Van Horn, I recommend that you forgo the fast food joints and head for Chuys. You won't be disappointed. \r more

We had a great meal and I was so surprised to see Flat Enchiladas with an egg on top listed on the menu. Have made these myself for years but never have seen them on a menu. They were really good and a nice change from the usual Mexican meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Would love to know the Mexican name for this dish in case I am ever in a situation where I could ""custom"" order these. \r more

Great customer service great food! more

Excellent service. Will return.\r more

Food was great, some of the best I've had. Seriously enjoyed this food. more

One of the few spots on our Texas roadtrip other than fast food which we were able to stop at and eat. 3 delicious beef tacos and a good margarita which hit the spot. My friend got a quesadilla and also loved it. Looked over the menu and saw many other affordable options as well. Wouldn't hesitate coming back! more

We had Fajitas, Quesadillas and a Kids hamburger. All of it was great. The only and best option in Van Horn other than the typical fast food. more

Stopped to eat on the way to Arizona. Outstanding !!!! Loved looking at the all pictures of John Madden visit and making the Madden hall of fame. more

I ordered chicken tacos and my friend ordered beef fajitas and the food was good. The chicken tacos were juicy. A couple of waitresses and the manager came to ask if we everything was alright. The service was good. We were offered a free desert for a survey for them to improve their dessert. more

Always a fun stop. Food reliable and atmosphere great! more

Flautas were good. They say John Madden stops in at least one a year since 1987. more

Great place in the middle of nowhere. Funky, busy decorations, good food, and excellent service. more

Really enjoyed the chile rellenos. Friendly staff and tasty, home made food are a great combination. Wish I could have tried more! A good find, indeed. more

Interesting place with local flavor and enjoyable Mexican and American food. more

When driving across west Texas, our schedule usually puts us in Van Horn at lunchtime and Chuy's has become our place. The food differs from the New Mexican style I grew up with or the Tex-Mex we have grown to love but we like Chuy's on its own merits. We have always been fortunate to have fast, friendly service and have eaten our way through most of the menu with no real disappointments. I'm sure we will be visiting again on our next trip. more

I live in Phoenix, where there are more Mexican restaurants than there are McDonalds! I know of a lot of good places, but nowhere have I eaten better green chile chicken enchiladas than at Chuys! They were just the right amount of spicy, and the sauce was delicious! They brought my beer with a frozen mug, not chilled, frozen! Beer Slushie! It was the perfect end to a long hard drive! more

Standard Mexican food. Ambiance is cool. John Madden comes here once a year. more
