TAMPA, Fla. – Chuy’s, the Austin-based Tex-Mex restaurant known for its made-from-scratch dishes and fun-loving atmosphere, will open its first Tampa Bay area location on Tuesday, April 24. The first 50 customers in line when the doors open at 11 a.m. will be awarded a year’s worth of “Free Chuy’s for Two” gift certificates, redeemable for an appetizer, two entrees and a dessert.

The Cypress Creek Town Center location, being called Chuy’s New Tampa, is the tenth Chuy’s restaurant in Florida, joining other locations in Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, Gainesville and Tallahassee.
