I'm a big fan of Chuy's, so when an out-of-town cousin stopped in Austin for the night on a business trip and wanted to sample some local Tex-Mex cuisine, this was the first place I thought of.

As with many Chuy's at dinnertime during the week, we had a short wait before being seated. It wasn't too bad because that gave us a chance to check out the t-shirts and other fun things by the front door.

I had the Elvis Presley Green Chile Fried Chicken. This is one of my favorites on the menu, and it was as good as I expected. My cousin had the Elvis sample plate, and even commented that the enchiladas were very good despite the fact that she really doesn't like enchiladas. She even got a to-go package to take back to Michigan to share with family there.

Our server, Jonathan, was very good. He was properly attentive (not too much and not too little) and he paced out our meal and to-go orders very nicely.

I don't get that far south in Austin very often. If you're in the area and haven't tried Chuy's, give this place a try.
