Does Shreveport Need a Chuy’s Mexican Restaurant?

There Was a Big Announcement in May of 2022 That Had Shreveport-Bossier Residents Jealous.

Chuy's took over the old Red Robin building in May of 2022. If you live in Longview, know we are all very jealous across the border. Of course, I am talking about the Texas-Louisiana border. The good news is that many folks in Shreveport-Bossier don't have to drive to Tyler to get a taste of Chuy's Tex-Mex anymore.

Remember When We Thought That the Abandoned Pepito's Building Was a Good Fit for Chuy's Tex-Mex?

Many of us think that Chuy's would thrive here in the Shreveport-Bossier. Chuy's is far from a legit Mexican restaurant. This is strictly Tex-Mex. If you want authentic Mexican food you go to some of our local favorites like Ki Mexico or go to Taqueria San Miguel or Ramirez Mexican Restaurant.

Chuy's is more of like a Superior Grill vibe. Yes, its' "inspired" by Mexican food and identifies as Mexican food but we all know if a place serves crunchy tacos they're Tex-Mex. By no means am I hating on the wonderful food at Superior Grill, you'll find me there once a week. However, there is a time and a place for Tex-Mex and it fits in for me on any day that ends with a y. If you've had Chuy's before you already know that it is worth the drive to Tyler, well, soon it will be worth the drive to Longview.

If you've had Chuy's before, you know it is worth the drive to Longview. Would you like to see a Chuy's Tex-Mex in Shreveport?
