Way back in 1982, Austin, Texas became the home of the place that does real Tex-Mex better than anyone. Yes, we are talking about us! Let’s take a trip down memory lane to see where we started and how we have stayed true to our original vision.

Chuy’s opened on April 16, 1982 in an old, aban­doned Texas Barbeque joint on iconic Barton Springs Road in Austin, TX. There was seating for about sixty, a women’s restroom the size of a broom closet and a men’s restroom that was, well, outside. Founders Mike Young and John Zapp had a vision of a fun and funky Tex-Mex restau­rant that served authen­tic and fresh food in an atmos­phere that appealed to everyone. From these humble begin­nings Chuy’s was born.

Our founders, Mike and John, along with their ​“dec­o­ra­tor” Jose Cuervo, made some inter­est­ing deci­sions on restau­rant décor. Mostly due to lack of money and the cre­ativ­i­ty of their ​“dec­o­ra­tor.” Those Chuy’s touches you love, like the hand-carved wooden fish ​“swimming” from the ceiling, hubcaps hanging bright and shiny above your booth and the Elvis shrine, are still alive and well in our restau­rants today. Although we have kept many of these original eclectic touches in our restau­rants, we want each Chuy’s to be unique to the com­mu­ni­ty they serve. Our ded­i­cat­ed team searches far and wide for those special pieces that will make your Chuy’s unlike any other.

While we are Tex-Mex, our menu is made up of a com­bi­na­tion of flavors, with recipes and ingre­di­ents from across New Mexico, Mexican border towns, the Rio Grande Valley, South Texas and, of course, Austin. Wanna know a secret? Our fajita marinade is an old South Texas family recipe that has been used at some ​“infamous” South Padre Island beach parties. Our founders had a vision to bring FRESH to Tex-Mex, and that com­mit­ment to our food is still the core of every­thing we do today.
