"Though it’s now a national chain, Chuy’s got its started at this colorful and funky restaurant on Barton Springs Road over 40 years ago. Along with the kitschy decor, expect serious Tex-Mex, tangy and creamy jalapeño dip, and some of the best fajitas in town (Chuy’s version is marinated with Texas treasure Shiner Bock beer). There are indoor and outdoor tables at this Chuy’s, which offers curbside pickup of orders, and four other locations in Austin proper with various pickup and delivery options." - Nadia Chaudhury
