2007 | Best Salsa

Though Chuy's serves pretty good salsas all year long, during the month of September, their green chile salsa is the best in town.

The best way to cure a hangover is to start drinking again. More alcohol, combined with decent Tex-Mex and attractive women, will ease even the worst of morning-after pains. I find myself taking this remedy late on a Saturday morning at Chuy's Res... More »
Anatomy of a Promotion

By Robb Walsh | Thu, January 17, 2002

Every September, Chuy's sets up big outdoor chile roasters in the parking lots of its restaurants. They're the same kind of roasters you see by the side of the road in New Mexico during the harvest season. The peppers tumble in a wire basket while... More »

Booze in a Blender

By Robb Walsh | Thu, September 21, 2000

Chuy's [2706 Westheimer, (713)524-1700] is the perfect place to ponder the connection between Elvis Presley and fine Tex-Mex. The Elvis shrine at the front door features an LP of the soundtrack to Blue Hawaii along with a bust of the King. I take ... More »
