Chuy's   

Filled with low-fi art decor and Elvis memorabilia, including a shrine to the King, this Austin-hip, alt-Tex-Mex restaurant attracts a young, lively crowd for dining and drinking. There are colors everywhere and no two lamps are the same throughout Chuy's individually-themed dining rooms. Handmade wooden fish from Mexico adorn the Million Fish room, while hub caps hang from the ceiling of the Hub Cap room. Chuy's is famous for its green chili dishes and introduces new concoctions every September during Green Chili Fest. Feast like a king with the Elvis P. Memorial Combo, which includes three different enchiladas, a crispy taco and chile con queso. Eat two "Big As Yo' Face" Burritos (they are actually bigger than yo' face) and receive the third one free. For a big meal, you need a big beverage, like the Texas Martini, a double-sized margarita made with Cuervo Gold, Cointreau and a jalepeno-stuffed olive. Happy Hour is from 4-7PM and features the complimentary nacho car, a '54 Chevy trunk filled with all the nacho toppings you need. Don't forget a framed picture of your dog, good for a free appetizer. -- Chase Hamblin
