Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 It's nice to be back in Austin. Just beautiful this time of year. But I must remember not to tell knock-knock jokes to homeless people. It's inappropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I live in Austin...I can, without hesitation, say, as much as I love this city...I would stay away from about mid-May to about mid-October if I could...the heat is unbearable most day...

It's inappropriate. If you drive west, and pass by Van Horn, TX, I suggest you stop at Chuy's Restaurant, home of the John Madden Haul of Fame. http://www.statesman.com/metrostate/conten...lso_madden.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irjjeSNRsxg First time I went was pretty much by accident. Got off the highway and looked for a local Mexican joint. I've been back once since and the Madden part just keeps getting bigger. I've never seen it the way it is now, in that video. But he best chicken fajitas I have ever had were at Chuy's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say the same thing... Chuys is good, but there is much better tex-mex in the area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that is the name of a chain, but is the Van Horn restaurant part of that chain? If so, then I agree it is probably best avoided. It certainly wasn't a chain when I was there. And I can't say how good the food was, overall. But what I had was terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 For the record, it doesn't look as though the Chuy's in Van Horn is part of the Chuy's chain, but rather an independent family owned restaurant. It is not listed as a location on the Chuy's (chain) site: http://www.chuys.com/#/home Chuy's in Van Horn has been in business since 1959. It also seems the founder/owner of the Van Horn Chuy's just died (the family will continue to run the restaurant): http://www.vanhornadvocate.com/story184.shtml So, my recommendation to visit this Van Horn institution stands. If, of course, you are anywhere near Van Horn. I wouldn't go way out of the way to go there. I think Chuy's is a pretty common name for Mex restaurants. I went to a Chuy's in SoCal a couple times. Don't remember the food, but I do remember getting fairly trashed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
