Chuy’s Cantina - Brooklyn

I absolutely adore the Mexican cuisine at this restaurant. The service is outstanding and the atmosphere is lovely.

This restaurant is currently closed. Despite making a reservation, I arrived to find the gate down and no one answering the phone. My reservation had been adjusted earlier in the day, so the sudden closure was unexpected.

When we visited Chuys, we were disappointed to find out that their liquor license had been canceled, meaning they were unable to serve any drinks or hookah. In addition, they did not even offer regular drinks. The food was not up to par either - the enchiladas verdes tasted like they came from a can, lacking flavor. The chorizo torta and queso fundido were also subpar, with the queso fundido resembling movie theater nacho cheese (which I don't usually mind, but in this case it wasn't great). I had high hopes for this restaurant, as it combined my two favorite things - Mexican food and hookah. Unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed on both fronts.

This place is a bit overrated. It's a cute hang out spot for drinks and hookah but I did not enjoy any dish that came out. The crowd appeared to be a bit on the younger side too. They have outdoor seating in the backyard. For reference I went after work during happy hour.

Their food is outstanding, the service is great. Very cozy backyard in Wburg. I loved coming here. Will be back for a drink anytime soon.Estuvo la hostia. La enchilada poblana parece hecha por Dios mismo.
