1.0 of 5 stars. I will never patronize a place that kicks out my gay brothers just for showing affection! It is NOT illegal for gay people to show affection to each other. Get a friggin grip this is America home of...

1.0 of 5 stars. The flautas, I mean "tacos" are overcooked and covered with some sort of sauce that is made out of rotten crack. With so many better mexican places, why go here. By the way, if you are Gay or...

If we can't have Chico's can't we have Chuco's?

I moved from El Paso about 10 years ago and yes like the rest, I missed the greasy goodness of Chico's. I was so happy to find a place in Austin with rolled tacos in the famous red broth. I fell in love with...

Loves it!!

For all those that don't like Chico's, get over it! Its not Mexican, its not Tex-Mex, its not gross or intolerable, it just Chico's Tacos. Don't label it and if you don't like it, don't go there and please, you don't have to insult the rest of us for loving it! Great food doesn't have to contain a gastrique or remoulade to be good. Fois gras tastes more like feces than Chico's and people pay hundreds for that!
