This is an opening recap, not a new September headline. Bastrop’s first Chuy’s opened May 18, 2026, at Sendero — 909 SH 71 W — and Bastrop EDC published the opening story the next day.
If you’re already making the drive to walk The Colony, it’s a simple extra stop: Tex-Mex after the model home, and a chance to get a feel for the Highway 71 / FM 969 corridor beyond the neighborhood. The EDC recap notes the usual Chuy’s lineup — enchiladas, fajitas, flautas, and house plates like the Elvis Presley Memorial Combo.
As of this update, Chuy’s still lists the Bastrop location as open on its own site. Hours and wait times can change, so check before you go — especially on a Friday or Saturday evening.
