Daddy Rock's - Henrico

We were in the Short Pump area, and I had heard that Chuy's is an extension of the Austin based Mexican restaurants that I had heard good things about. We decided to stop in for a quick lunch. They were busier than we anticipated for Friday at 2 in the afternoon. Then again, it's located in a busy shopping area and we came in on the last weekend before Christmas so it was pretty crowded. We ordered and I'm pretty sure we got our food in less than 5 minutes! We chose the fajita combo. The flavors were for sure authentic. They marinate their fajita meat in Shiner Bock (a beer made in Texas , serranos, and spices you can taste all of those in the steak and chicken for sure. Minus a star because our tortillas were cold and even a little hard on the edges, as if they'd been sitting in the container for some time. Other than that, we would definitely come back to try their tacos and beyond. Oh, and to buy more fun T shirts :

Wife, kids, and I usually stop here on our way out of Richmond heading back towards the western part of the state. The service is generally quick and polite, the restaurant itself is neat with fun pictures, and the outdoor seating is very pleasant. I always get the enchiladas with some form of their sauces and it's always good.

We normally avoid chain themed restaurants but made an exception here based on high recommendations from friends. I should state we are big fans of both Tex Mex and New Mexican food. We were very pleased with our food. My wife highly recommends the vegetarian burrito. I recommend anything that comes from the kitchen. We have returned several times and left each time happy with our experience.

My wife has seen this place for around 7-8 years and never tried it so we decided to give it a chance. The interior is amusing to say the least like many Mexican restaurants. It can certainly be a good conversation starter! We got seated pretty fast and our waiter already introduced himself with the introductory chips. He was very fast and attentive. The menu was very colorful and clean, easy to understand and to navigate. My wife ordered the Chuychanga and was very pleased by it, she said that the sauce mixed with cheese was a nice touch, the chicken wasn't dry and the tortilla shell although fried wasn't oily at all, it was all served with the classic refried beans and rice with a scoop of sour cream. I ordered the Steak Burrito and I gotta say, it is definitely bigger than my face! Although simple, the steak was delicious and not dry at all as typically is in Mexican restaurants. It wasn't overly cheesy either with the refried beans and rice that come with it make it a nice combination. The plates came to the table really quickly and extremely hot. It was a lot of food plus chips for the price, definitely worth it. We got too full for desert unfortunately but the tres leches cake sounded like a good time! Payment was made easy with scanning a QR code. My wife and I now know why this place has been here as long as it has!

I'm a sucker for a Tex Mex Restaurant serving Flautas ! However before I could even get to my order of Flautas, I was served a heaping basket of Chips and maybe the best Salsa I've ever had! That's a great way to start my meal. The Flautas are addictive and tasty. My ice tea was refilled without asking. Great customer service the entire time. I can't wait to return.
