Chuy's, Tex-Mex restaurant in International Drive, Orlando, United States.
Chuy's is a Tex-Mex restaurant on International Drive in Orlando, known for handmade tortillas and fresh ingredients prepared daily. The menu covers grilled meats, enchiladas, tacos, and a range of house sauces served alongside each dish.
The first Chuy's opened in Austin, Texas in 1982 and grew steadily from a single local spot into a chain spread across the southern United States. The Orlando location follows the same cooking approach established in those early years.
The walls are covered with neon signs, painted fish, and decorations that mix Texas roadside style with Mexican folk art. Each room is decorated differently, so walking through the space feels like moving through several small worlds.
The restaurant gets very busy at lunch and dinner, and walk-in waits can be long on weekends or evenings. Joining the digital waitlist through the restaurant's website or app before arriving helps reduce time spent waiting.
One of the house sauces is made with Hatch chiles, a variety grown only in a specific valley in New Mexico during a short harvest season each year. This limited growing window means the restaurant plans its supply carefully to keep the sauce on the menu year-round.
