Chuy's - Locations across the US

Chuy's, a popular Tex-Mex option present in 17 states across the Southern, Central and Eastern US, makes this list for being one of the most legit Mexican chain restaurants around. For starters, the tortillas and sauces are made in-house daily. Secondly, the brand has established a reputation for its made-from-scratch menu offerings, including "big as yo' face" burritos, consistently delicious enchiladas and the famous deep-fried "chuychanga" stuffed with roasted chicken, cheese, cilantro and green chiles. Not to mention, the well-known funky atmosphere found at every location with vintage memorabilia and a distinctive Elvis vibe.
