I’m seriously blown away by Chuys in Cherokee! The service was absolutely perfect—so friendly and attentive. They even made sure the right person was picking up the food, which I really appreciated. Now, let’s talk food… I usually hate beans, but these were hands-down the best beans I’ve ever had. And the rice? Full of flavor, perfectly cooked, not mushy at all—I genuinely loved it. I also ordered tacos and a quesadilla. The tacos are unlike anything I’ve ever had—super fresh and flavorful. The quesadilla is massive and loaded, and honestly, I got all of this for $11, which feels like it should easily be $20. Everything tastes homemade, fresh, and incredibly delicious. Honestly, a 10/10 experience. Can’t recommend Chuys enough! This is literally the first time I’ve ever tried Chuys, and

My boyfriend and I went here for supper last minute and everything about it was amazing! Their guac was perfect, and my fajita was delicious! He got quesobirria and street tacos which were also so good. They even came up to him and asked what time of mixed drinks he liked and surprised him with one, which was also amazing!! Overall it was a 10/10 experience, service was great and decently priced for everything we got!

My coworker and I stopped for lunch on the way to Alta to deliver sheetrock. Great food, Great service, beautiful restaurant. I was a little worried about taking too long of a break, but we got our food right away, and got back on the road.

Complimentary chips and salsa while you're waiting for your meal. Their service is fast and hot. I give a 10 for a 10 on the meals. They do not skimp on the fillings.

The staff was nice; but the food wasn’t. I ordered the Chile Colorado with beef and all I could taste was the nutmeg, which made the flavor way too strong and sweet, I could only taste that. My friend ordered a chimichanga and it tasted like nothing but pure salt to the point she couldn’t even eat it, and it was pooling with grease with the few bites she took. The chips had way too much salt on them too. If the salt content was toned down the food would’ve been more enjoyable, but I won’t be going back here for while. It was 36$ for two people to eat.
