The Chuy's in Mueller is a welcome addition! This is exactly the type of place Mueller was lacking, a great, reasonably priced, Tex mex place with a full bar, that's family friendly with both indoor and outdoor seating. The hostess, Serena and our server, John, were both so kind and welcoming, as was the rest of the staff.
The chips and salsa hit the table at almost the same time we did, and they were eager to bring us more, which is always appreciated! The salsa is nice and spicy, and always fresh. The chips are warm and salted perfectly. We got there starving and nearly had to be rolled out, with leftovers in hand. The chuychanga with boom boom sauce is FIRE! Out of the 9 years I've been going to Chuys, it's still probably my favorite of all time! It's fried, but not overly oily like some, and not too doughy! My husband got the chicken burrito which, there was no way in heck he was going to pick it up, it's definitely a fork and knife style burrito, which he chose to have nestled amongst the green chile sauce. There's several house made sauces to choose from, and dare I say, choosing one is probably harder than deciding what to actually order.
We're not usually dessert people because we're so full, but after seeing multiple desserts come out, I had to oblige when John asked if we'd like a tres leches cake. First of all, it was nearly a quarter of a sheet cake, it was massive. And probably one of the best I've had!! Honestly. The cream, caramel and strawberries were a unique touch I haven't had before and it was perfectly moist, without being soggy, and not sickeningly sweet like some others can be.
The margaritas are perfect, I can't say a single ill word about them or even that they come too slow because the staff is always rapid fire to keep your marg glass full. I will say, next time I'm going to try the Mexican martini with jalapeños stuffed olives though for sure!
Also, proud mom moment, our boys made the dog wall, and while I can't say if the patio is dog friendly or not yet, I would certainly bring them if it was!
