"Whenever the craving for fresh aguachile, incredible ceviches, and tender quesabirria hits, our internal GPS always leads us to Chuy’s Fiestas. The Mexican restaurant is the perfect place to come with a group and get into a family-style spread of all of the above. The menu is pretty big, but if you focus on the seafood, you can’t go wrong. Wash it all down with one of their massive micheladas with a tamarind straw." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"The quesabirria tacos are the most popular at Chuy’s Fiestas, a waiter confirmed, and it’s easy to see why: the classically red-tinged tacos come stuffed with meat and cheese, with the tortilla charred to a nice crisp and served alongside the cutest bowl holding the requisite consomé. But there are other tacos to explore on the menu; the vampiro taco can satisfy the hungriest people in your party and comes loaded with carne asada, melted cheese, pinto beans, pico de gallo, a healthy serving of guacamole and topped with tomatillo sauce." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Whenever the craving for refreshing aguachile, incredible ceviches, and quesabirria tacos hits, the GPS in our brain leads us to Chuy’s Fiestas. This spot is the perfect place to come with a group and go family-style with all of the above—the menu is pretty big, but focus on the seafood and you can’t go wrong. Another thing you can't go wrong with is their massive micheladas (tamarind straw included)." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"There’s no better combo than tamarindo and aguachile—and no better place in the city to experience it than Chuy’s Fiestas (with locations in the Mission and Union Square). Grab a seat on the back patio and order a tangy tamarindo that plays wonderfully off the aguachile’s heat. If the tamarindo is missing from the menu, the strawberry and jamaica are fantastic backups." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"Whenever the yearning for fresh aguachile, incredible ceviches, and (of course) quesabirria tacos hits, our internal GPS always leads us right to Chuy’s Fiestas. The Mexican restaurant in the Mission is a great place to come with a group and get into a spread of all of the above—just make sure the quesabirria tacos are on the table. The tender meat is soft enough to easily pull apart with a spoon. You can also get your taco as a plate with rice, beans, and housemade tortillas. Whatever you do, pair your meal with a massive michelada, which comes with a tamarind straw." - julia chen 1, lani conway
