Don Chuy Taqueria

BEST MEXICAN FOOD IVE HAD SINCE I MOVED TO THE EAST COAST TWO YEARS AGO! it’s authentic and well made! Get the carnitas and al pastor tacos. It was slow when I went in for lunch which may be why I didn’t experience the service issues from the other reviews

Stopped in here on the way back from the beach… so glad we found this place! The food was excellent and the waitstaff was very friendly. We had the tacos which came with some delicious grilled onions and a lime wedge. Even though we weren’t drinking, they have some awesome happy hour deals. Might have to make this a regular stop whenever we go to ocean city!

Its been forty minutes so far and despite multiple prompts the overwhelmed and confused staff haven’t been able to complete the drink order. If it were not for the rest of the party I’d walk out.
Updated. We walked out. Two hours and no food.

Seems like a great place. Here now and haven’t eaten yet. But it’s Cinco de Mayo and they appear to have only three servers on, with only two that are really doing anything. We are a large group…24, but it took about 20 minutes before we took our own drink order and handed it to one of the servers. Then we took our own food order and handed that in too. We’ll see how long it takes to actually get our food. I’ll edit or post more to confirm.
Update…2 hours and we had to fight for drinks and chips and salsa. We left and paid for our drinks after we saw at least 5 tables seat and get food after we sat down.

Food was good and hot. We had a burrito, fajitas and chicken fingers for the kids. Happy hour margaritas made us smile. The server was very friendly and fun to sit with. They were not serving fried ice cream– only a small disappointment for the kids. We will return here for dinner soon, enjoy!

Outstanding, we had the chicken and steak fajitas. Very fresh, great flavors, will definitely return!

We love Cambridge. It’s progressive and hip and we always have fun here! Tonight we had the Piña Fajita and a few of the tacos (camarones, pescado, y chorizo con papas) and all of it was yummy!

Don Chuy’s is great! Don’t waste your time at Plaza Tapatia. Good ingredients, extensive menu, great prices, excellent service equals a fantastic meal. That and the cheapest drinks in town! How can you go wrong?

I love this place! Every time I’m in the area I have to stop and eat there. Great great great Mexican food at a good price. Any dish with shrimp is awesome but I really enjoy the fajitas. The service is always prompt and friendly! Will be back very soon.

We were in town from Virginia and came here due to the Unilocal reviews. Tacos were really really tasty!

I always go to taco joints and order one Carne Asada taco. If it rocks my world then I buy like 30 to go. I call it «The Carlos Taco Test» This place not only passed the test but has set a whole new bar for all others to pass. Homemade tortillas, beautifully carved meat with little fat!
Living in L. A for over 34 years I can say without a doubt that this place is as good as it gets. It is better than most of the best L. A mexican food you can find.
What a great find this was!

One of those places that you might pass by based on looks alone. Very friendly staff, ample seating area and good variety on the menu. One of the best Guacamoles I’ve ever had, the small one is good enough for 2 as appetizer. Had the chicken fajitas, very nicely cooked and seasoned, served with lots of grilled onions and peppers. The biggest surprise was the draft beer, waitress asks if I want the large or small, when asked about price she says the large is $ 4.50. I’ve never seen such a large beer mug since went to Octoberfest in Munich. The whole meal was less than $ 20.

We came here about a year ago and it was really good. Tonight it was like a different place. The fajitas were just okay. When I ordered them I asked the waitress if they came with cheese, because I would have ordered a side of cheese if they didn’t. She told me yes, but when they came… you guessed it! No cheese. The hubby got the carne asada, and it was inedible. One of few times we actually have not been able to eat something at a restaurant. It didn’t taste like carne asada at all — it tasted EXACTLY like liver. Really salty liver. I ended up having to share my fajitas with the hubby because she never checked back to see how our meal was. When she finally came over when the fajitas were gone, she asked how the food was and we told her about the carne asada. Her response? «Well, do you want a box to take it with you?» No apology, no offer of something else, no price break, no nothing. Then she took forever to process our payment. Despite all this we still tipped her 18%. She never thanked us or said goodbye — but after we left we watched through the window as she raced to our table to see what her tip was. Ugh. They went downhill fast, and we’ll never go back.

We had the best dinner! I had the guac, (small & plenty for two) and carnita sandwich… very good & my fiancé had trio of meat (chicken, beef & shrimp) cooked and served in a pinapple. It both looked and tasted great! (His new favorite!) Everything very fresh! We probably could have shared it, (it was a lot of food! :-)
All that was great, but our waitress (Laura? Lori?) was THE BEST! Very attentive, and friendly! We will be back (on a Sunday!)
Thanks! :-)

The most unprofessional waiter I’ve encountered. Brought my family there last night and the waiter was rude from the onset. Then, another family was served before ours. When we asked how much longer it would take for our food to come out, he was completely dismissive. We ended up just cancelling our order. We will not be shelving out our cash where it is not appreciated. If I could give this place a negative star, I would.

For the area it’s pretty decent. It has been getting better. I’ve had most items on the menu and thus far have not been disappointed. I love the burritos. If you are looking for a good lunch that fills you up at a reasonable price, this place will not leave you disappointed.

An awesome find in Cambridge MD! Off the beaten path, the locals come here.
Out of this world steak tacos, you have to try them! Tamales, enchiladas, rice and beans, everything is tasty.
When you come in, they give you fresh Tortilla Chips, salsa, guacamole, and a sweet dip, don’t know what it is, but my grandchildren love it!
Décor and «ambiance» (give me a break) are average, but service and friendliness is awesome.
I wish I lived close, this would be my favorite place to eat!
Try this place, you will love it.

This restaurant serves perfectly acceptable but unexciting Tex-​Mex food. It certainly doesn’t live up to the over-​the-​top reviews posted here. The restaurant is clean, bright, and cafeteria-​like. The service is excellent. I ordered the enchiladas verde with chicken. The enchiladas were pretty good. The chicken was not overcooked, but I’d have preferred more spice. The green sauce was quite good, but again less zippy than I’d like. The refried beans were bland and the rice over-​cooked and under-​seasoned.
Several people have commented on the three salsas served with chips. The salsa fresca is fine, but would have benefited from more chilies. The other two sauces, one that looks like salsa verde but is inexplicably cloyingly sweet and a yellow sauce that is somewhat more interesting and slightly spicy, were disappointing. I’d have much preferred a hot salsa as complement to the mild salsa fresca, without the yellow and green options.
My guess is that the restaurant owners are catering to local tastes and might well be the best Tex-​Mex option on the Eastern Shore. But it will disappoint those looking for real Mexican food.

If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican food joint that’s inexpensive and delicious, you’ve found it! Great for kids and adults alike. Friendly staff. Good veggie options. Limited but bargain happy hour. Try it!

Stopped in for a quick bite after a long, cold morning duck hunting, and since it was mid-​afternoon we had the place all to ourselves. We still got good, fast service in the casual, brightly-​colored dining room, and the food was amazing. Not just because we were starving.
The trio of salsas that comes out with the chips was a huge hit– we practically licked the bowls– and my chicken fajitas were awesome, not greasy, and just the right size. (I was worried the «lunch portion» wouldn’t be big enough for my feeding frenzy, but it totally was.) My husband’s enchiladas got rave reviews too. The menu is crazy extensive– wish we lived closer, and we’d work our way through it!
Oh, they have a liquor license now, so we got to enjoy lunch with ice cold Coronas, and based on the sign boards they have happy hour and tons of mixed drink specials.
