Chuy’s Tex-Mex — Legendary Big-As-Yo-Face Burritos and Fresh-Squeezed Margaritas on West 7th

Founded in Austin by Mike Young and John Zapp in 1982, Chuy’s became known for its Tex-Mex cuisine and eclectic décor featuring tree sculptures, Elvis art, dog photos, and more — and that spirit of joyful weirdness is very much alive at the West 7th Street location in Fort Worth. Located at 2401 W. 7th St., Suite 110, Chuy’s. sits right in the heart of one of Fort Worth’s most vibrant dining and entertainment corridors, making it a natural first stop before a night out or a reliable go-to for a satisfying weekday meal. The dining room is a glorious, kitschy wonderland — hand-carved wooden fish cover the ceilings, vintage hubcaps line the walls, and the Chihuahua Bar is exactly the kind of thing you didn’t know you needed in your life until you saw it. In July 2024, Chuy’s was acquired by Darden Restaurants, but the kitchen’s commitment to scratch-made, generously portioned food at genuinely reasonable prices has stayed firmly intact — and Fort Worth regulars wouldn’t have it any other way.

Chuy’s is known for made-from-scratch “Big As Yo’ Face” burritos, fresh-squeezed lime juice margaritas, and a fun, eclectic atmosphere, and each of those three things delivers at the West 7th location. Signature dishes include the Big As Yo Face Burritos, Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom Enchiladas, and the Elvis Presley Memorial combo, all made daily from fresh ingredients. The legendary Hatch Green Chile sauce — roasted New Mexico chiles blended into a fiery, slightly smoky sauce — tops everything from burritos to fajitas and has earned a cult following across Texas. Complimentary chips arrive at the table with a creamy jalapeño dipping sauce that’s dangerously addictive, and the handmade flour tortillas, warm and thick, are some of the best in Fort Worth. Salad dressings are made fresh daily, and the scratch-made chicken tortilla soup — loaded with roasted chicken, green chiles, corn, and avocado — is one of the most consistently praised items on the menu.

Chuy’s Fort Worth is open Monday through Thursday 11am–10pm, Friday and Saturday 11am–11pm, and Sunday 11am–10pm. The Nacho Car happy hour — held daily from 4 to 7pm in the bar area — features half-price appetizers and discounted margaritas, served alongside a free nacho bar built right inside a vintage Cadillac. Online ordering, delivery, and catering are all available, and the family-friendly menu includes a dedicated kids section. With free chips always on the table, margaritas made with real lime juice, and burritos genuinely as big as your face, Chuy’s delivers everything you want from a Tex-Mex night out — find more of Fort Worth’s best Tex-Mex and Mexican restaurants in the complete guide to Fort Worth restaurants.

My husband suggested Chuy's because he went to one about 18 years ago and said we would like the food. We went upstairs and started looking at the menu. First impressions are important to us and normally set the tone of the experience. Our server, Terrance, has the best, most positive energy! My husband ordered the jalapeno Rita. I cannot normally handle spice, but he asked me to try a sip and assured me it was not spicy. The drink was full of flavor without being spicy. I ordered the flautas - they tasted so good and we're not burnt to a crisp. My daughter had the chuychanga. She loved every bite! My husband ordered The Kings Memorial combo. He asked me to try something that had the tomatillo sauce. There was a hint of spice, but the flavor was incredible! The tres leches cake was suggested for dessert, and I am so glad we tried it! Normally, tres leches cakes are too wet for me to like the texture - but this cake was light, fluffy, and still had the liquid in the cake without changing the overall texture. The food was amazing, but it is Terrance's energy and attitude that elevated the experience. We will definitely be back!

We visit this location semi often and the food is always great, but tonight the service was amazing! The restaurant was quite packed but our waitress Becky still provided us with over the top service despite being very busy. She noticed we hadn’t received the entirety of our appetizer before we had and made sure to immediately fix the issue. Our drinks remained filled, she checked on us often and even made sure our son received the dessert included in his meal. We’ve visited this location 3 or 4 times with our son and this is the first time a server offered to bring us the push pop included with the kids meal. She was the best server we’ve had at any restaurant in quite a while! Especially considering how busy the restaurant was!

I’ve been coming to this location for over a year, and one of my favorite go-to orders has always been the celebratory Mexican Martini on Fridays. Unfortunately, this past visit left me completely disappointed.

The drink was served with ice and a red straw—no olives—and tasted more like a tart margarita than the martini I know and love. When I politely asked about it (nobody wants to fight ice or sip a martini through a straw), I was met with clear annoyance, as if I were being a burden. The replacement drink wasn’t corrected—it was just made stronger, to the point that it was undrinkable. I got up and asked for the bartender for a martini glass and olives so I could personally make the drink right. Defeats the purpose of paying to be served.

To make matters worse, our drinks stayed empty, and food arrived before anything from the bar. The service felt rushed and careless. Our server seemed visibly unhappy to be there, and that attitude carried through the entire experience.

When you go out—especially after a long week—you hope to relax and enjoy good food, good drinks, and decent hospitality. Sadly, this visit made me question whether I’ll be returning.

My daughter took me there for Father's Day!😃It's a great place for a family outing. With the 7th Street district and Downtown Fort Worth up the street.

Food was fantastic! Ate Chuy's twice on a 3-day stay in DFW area. The flour tortillas were the best I've ever had. Chips were light and crispy, just perfect. I'll definitely be back.

Today I had a wonderful experience with Chuy’s ToGo service this morning. When the phone was picked up I was greeted by a wonderful worker who said her name was Alyssa. While ordering my ToGo food she was very patient and when I arrived to pick up my food I was able to get my food very quickly in timely matter. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality and service, 10/10 service this morning.

E,cellent servie, fun atmosphere for the kids and adults. My little family and I enjoyed the shaded patio across from the park.
Boom boom sauce is the perfect spice and one of my favorites on any entree! Jalapeno ranch and their queso are a family favorite.

My family had such a wonderful time last night for my Mom’s 80th bday! I talked with an manager that didn’t believe I was bringing 30 of my family members! I asked if he could get the table ready so they would not have to rush once everyone got there well he didn’t ! It took Daisy sweet self to step in and she was amazing at what she does! and beautiful! Our waitress Rusty was amazing by herself pretty much with all these people! And one more waitress also I met at the end I’m sorry I forgot your name you know who you are! But the manager Rush or whatever your name is,
when an customer calls to break bread with you and my family spends there hard earn money with you in your establishment you better well believe there coming! I’m going to stop here because at the end of the day my mom had an Wonderful time and that’s good enough for Me! Thank you Daisy 💜

I’m a reviewer and I’m serious about this project, but my first experience here was so positive that I wanted to return to try the food and service again!
Well, it was just okay and I will never 👎🏽 go out of my way for okay! The waitress was nice, but food quality was not a place I would go back to eat! 🤔
