    Chuy’s is being sold to Darden Restaurants for a deal estimated at $605 million. The Austin-based Tex-Mex restaurant opened its original location on Barton Springs Road 42 years ago.

    The hubcap- and Elvis-themed decor, quirky shirts and modestly priced food proved popular, and the restaurant expanded regionally as Austin grew in the 1990s and 2000s. Then, Chuy’s expanded across Texas to 15 locations. The restaurant later became a publicly traded company, and now creamy jalapeño cravings are satiated at more than 100 restaurants across 15 states.
