Quesabirria tacos, micheladas, and seafood options
"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 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
"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
"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
"Whenever the craving for juicy aguachile and tender quesabirria hits, our internal GPS always leads us to Chuy’s Fiestas. The menu at this Mexican spot has everything from enchiladas rojas to pozole rojo, but you should focus on the seafood. The right strategy here is to load up your table with as many dishes as can fit, eat family-style, and wash it all down with one of their massive micheladas through a tamarind straw. Each dish, from the shrimp in the molcajete mixto to the aguachile, tastes like it was personally handed to you by a fisherman straight off the boat. If you luck out and stop by here on a sunny day, snag a spot in their surprisingly big back patio. While we can’t promise it’ll make you feel at one with the sea, eating some fish outside somehow always feels like a vacation. Food Rundown photo credit: Erin Ng Aguachile Tangy seafood done right. Be sure to ask for it to be made actually spicy (if that’s your thing). photo credit: Erin Ng Tacos The shrimp and fish tacos are the stars (just make sure you get the tilapia and not the pan-fried). The cochinita pibil is tender and is the main exception to focusing on the seafood here. photo credit: Erin Ng Quesabirria A great mix of soft meat and crispy cheese, but focus on the seafood. photo credit: Erin Ng Pozole Rojo It’s hard to make a good pozole at a restaurant. This rendition is missing some of that deep broth flavor, but it will still get the job done if you’re having a craving for this bowl of soup." - Ricky Rodriguez
