New Chuy's Tex-Mex Dining Opens in Historical Fort Worth, Texas

Just a few weeks ago, on November 9^th, a new Mexican food restaurant with a well known reputation for classic Tex-Mex opened along the Trinity River located on 7^th Street in Fort Worth's west side. Minuets away from the artsy Cultural District, the awaiting of this popular haunt has been welcomed from fans of the chain. The closest North Texas location is miles from the city in outlying areas such as Dallas and Plano. In 1982, the first Chuy's was opened in Austin, Texas. Since every restaurant has made its individual mark for outrageous decor and excellent food.

I was lucky enough to get hired on the first crew of new Chuy's wait staff. However, having been many years since I have worked serving food, I was shortly let go of for not being in with the busy demands of upper management. Their methods for training the team member mentality was applaud able. A week of learning the routines of this business from humorous and skilled experienced staff was followed up with taste testing and hands-on learning. Studying things like the various kinds of original tequilas that is served in their margaritas, intrigued me to notice what a different atmosphere is being created for its guests. I will miss my short time with this lively entertaining spot.

Walking in the door may take you a few minuets to get a grip on the entire spell being shown off. I admit I can not tie in any connection of the chosen eclectic style, and that gives an exciting personality to the newly constructed building. With five separate eating areas at a normal time of day expect to wait and talk about nothing but the colorful splashes and art hanging around. Some efforts to recycle and remember the greatest drug addict that ever died, Elvis, are the most impressive montage of culture here. The shrine to him is just one act to honor his over indulgent lifestyle. Beyond the wooden school of over 1200 fishes hanging from the ceiling, only the buy able T-shirt collection can boost more.

While the outer appearance of the walls and the paint upon them with all of the additional ornaments is only Chuy's cherry on top. The real proof in the pudding is the great freshly made spicy food. I would not recommend this to those trying to diet or be health conscious. But the splurge and engulfed flaming chilies offer a rare appreciation of mexicano delights. The flour tortillas are hand-made each day, just as their sauces are. My favorite and I was surprised because I have never liked this dish in other places, is the whole stuffed Rellanos with your choice of shrimp, chicken, or beef inside. Stopping in at Happy Hour between 4pm and 7pm will get you free trunk-full of nachos and discount drinks.

Going for a taste-test of your own can be like traveling to an unknown world. Chuy's presents itself with the best party environment I have ever seen. Be sure to take a digital camera and enjoy some awesome food.
