Wanting to go try it out but heard the wait is long.

I have no business answering this, because I barely know what Chuy's is and I don't live in Waco.

I DO know several people from here (Temple) who have eaten there and here's what they said.

The food is good; I assume it's Ninfa's good, but again, I don't know.

A real good friend of mine went to eat there after the T=High basketball game the other day, and said that the restaurant limits you to one margarita per ID.

I thought that was pretty bizarre and weird.

I like it. My wife and I got more than one margarita when we were there. Maybe your person meant one at a time, jan.

Nope. I asked a couple of other people that were with her, and they all said the same thing.

Maybe they didn't like them because they were from Temple????

meh, you have to understand Waco when you ask if a new restaurant is worth the wait...there is so little to do here that new restaurants are to die for so yes it, the chance to experience something new and be the first to blab about it, is worth the wait. That alone gives some residents the reason to live and gossip.

The question you should ask....Is Chuy's food in general worth waiting for? If it is good or great in other cities join the crowds and enjoy a drink or three while you wait.

This is possible.

I will say that we had more than one a piece when we went, so I don't know what the deal is.

FTR, Bohunk would rather drink a woman's drink than beer.

I was going to make some comment about Mrs C-jags letting me drink her drinks when we go out, but I like to keep it more civilized on this board.

Bo was nursed on beer, he only wants to try something different!

Ive had to wait about 15 minutes max on the last 2 trips to Chuys Waco

I haven't had to wait more than 10 minutes at lunch and didn't have to wait at all at 6:00 on a Tuesday night. The food is good and affordable , cheaper than OTB or any other Mexican food chain restaurant. Almost all the dishes are under $9.99. Go for it!

Chuy's is way better than Ninfas. I love their jalapeno ranch dip too.

It is pretty good. My wife and I went the week after it opened at 10 til 5:00 on a Tuesday and sat immediately. You just have to pick your time right.

No, it wasn't and our wait was short 10 minuteish, tonight at 6PM!

chuy's is one of my favorite mexican food places in austin (although, there are quite a few really good ones here). i lived in temple for several years, and they don't exactly have great mexican food restaurants. so, i would venture to guess chuy's is pretty darn good compared to what else you can get in temple. worth the wait.

Chuy's = austentatious. Good margaritas, chips, queso, and salsa. Everything else is average.

good drinks
average food

Chuys is our favorite in Austin. You have to try the Elvis fried chicken.
