This is your standard gringo Mexican restaurant. It's got two faces: one is a local place for the area apartment buildings. The second is a spot in the back for the thousands of school field trips that come thru the area. Our apartment building sponsored a theme night here. From what I understand the restaurant comped a lot or all of what the tenants were served. Very nice event for us that reside locally. read more

I am shocked this is only 3.5 stars. My mom and I ordered via ubereats. Fantastic enchiladas. Great to go pack. Followed order notes perfectly. I was excited to see they're a chain. I'm excited to visit again read more

After some shopping in the area, I stopped in for happy hour at the bar. They have a pretty good happy hour that lasts until 9pm every day!! Prices ranged from $4-$10. We ordered a couple house margaritas, fuego fries, fajita chicken nachos, and chicken tacos. The fajita nachos were very tasty! Their happy hour is definitely worth checking out! read more

Today's episode of eating my way through Arlington - after work edition Chev Mex was the pick for happy hour, and it was the right call. Ten of us rolled in after work and managed to feed everyone - drinks included - for under $250, which is impressive. We went full family style, with the table covered in tacos, shareable apps, and plenty of plates to pass around. I'll admit, I was a little hungry, so I started digging in before I took the pictures - funny, judge me if you want. Service started a little slow, but once it found its rhythm, the staff kept us well-supplied. The vibe was relaxed but lively enough to shake off the office day. Plenty of room to talk, laugh, and eat without feeling rushed. I eat. I judge. The fork stops with me read more

While walking the freezing cold streets of Pentagon City, I passed by this place with my family. I suggested we get out of the cold for a few. The place is enormous and didn't have too many people here yet which was perfect. We got here right in time for happy hour with ten minutes before it started. I got my family and I each a margarita and if we didn't already have lunch, we would've probably done their happy hour. They had a decent happy hour menu for food and drinks overall. read more

Chevys Fresh Mex - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

We stopped by Chevys because it brought back memories of when it was the go to spot and the kids loved getting fresh tortillas from the tortilla machine. Sadly, the machine is gone but now they make them by hand. We arrived about an hour before closing and sat in the bar area since three busloads of young people had just arrived for what looked like buffet style dining. Our waiter was extremely helpful as I ordered the mixed grill (my Chevy's favorite). I joked that I like it super spicy and he mentioned they could roast jalapeno peppers on the side so I added them. When my grill arrived, the waiter set it on fire for a great presentation. Once the flames died down, I dug in and found the jalapenos were extra spicy. I loved it! I took home a whole and a quarter portion of leftovers and enjoyed them for dinner the next day. Happy hour was also available making it all a great experience. read more

We love Chevys and go here for happy hour pretty often. My go to order is the births tacos for $8. It comes with 3 tacos and the flavor is amazing for a great price point. I also get the carne asada fries which is also $8 and I usually have some leftover to take home. We share the chicken quesadillas which come in 4 and is plenty for dinner for two of us. Drinks are $4 (rail) and $6 for slightly fancier cocktails. I can't recommend this place enough since the food and service is amazing and the ambience is great too with music. They also have sports playing on their TVs so it's nice to watch sports sometimes while having dinner read more

Been a long time since I've been to Chevys after moving away from the DMV area. Place was pretty packed. unfortunately the only thing that was good was the appetizers. The main dishes lacked flavor. This place used to be pretty good if I'm remembering correctly. Hopefully they just had a bad day. read more

Went for an office holiday lunch with a group of 13 on a Tuesday and it worked out great! There was plenty of space for us and still a lot of available space. Great place for large groups! We had two servers for our table who were very attentive which helped keep things moving. No one complained about their food and those right around me are every bit on their plates. We started with nachos and two Fresh Mex sampler that was good. I had a spicy pineapple margarita that was perfect and the pick two: pork tamale and beef birria taco that had a little kick. Food was standard, nothing wrong with it but nothing extra special. read more

Decently good Mexican with a cool restaurant vibe. The combo platter is pretty good value-wise. Service was kind of nonexistent. The server didn't really interact and did the bare minimum. Chips and salsa are really good! read more

We were so excited to have Chevy's because all of the locations in our hometown closed over a decade ago. The waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten free and cross contamination, which we greatly appreciated since everyone in my party is GF. They changed the chips and they are not as good. read more

I preface this with we passed through as a group. We arrived for our 5pm reservation. There were 150 of us. The food was fine for that it was... But ... There were 150 of us and as many of us finally got drinks and food and not even taken a bite they yelled LAST CALL. Like what? They had another group coming in and shuttled us out. Also... While I know they thrive on groups there is ONE bathroom stall for all these people. Good for what it was, but groups need more time. read more

The food wasn't bad, like nothing special. I got the carne asada fries my friend got the birria tacos, like i would get those again. the service was like ... weird? we got margaritas, and idk if they just fully forgot to put the tequila in the margs but they gave a shot (weak) on the side and said that for margaritas, the shot of tequila is always given on the side, which neither me nor my friend have ever had to do but also we saw other people with margaritas who didn't get the tequila on the side. they offered to remake it which was kind of them, but then tasted no alcohol in the drink at all. eventually we just had to pay extra for a an extra shot of tequila to make the drinks ourselves. read more

I have passed this place a bunch of times and realized they had a really good happy hour. The happy hour has a lot of options for drinks and food and there are also a couple of TVs on the right side of the restaurant that you can watch sports. There is also free chips and salsa. Because of their great happy hour might be one of the cheapest places to sit down and have food and drinks in Pentagon City. I would definitely go back. read more

Came here for our 8th grade trip and this staff HANDLED IT! We had almost 200 guests! So well organized from beginning to end and the food was good too! Definitely suggest this spot, even if you have a large group for a dinner! Staff even played games with our kids. Will return when in town. read more

Had a great dinner! Was hesitant to try Mexican food so far north since we live in South Texas, but everything was great! Service was a tad on the slow side, but very friendly. read more

Always courteous service and not too crowded nor loud despite being in a prime location. The management and wait staff are all well trained and friendly. The food is occasionally borderline disappointing, but most dishes are average to slightly above average; and I would generally say, as someone who orders at least 5 but up to 10 dishes whenever I go, at least 1 or 2 really hit. Why do I order so many? Because the 3 - 9pm daily Happy Hour has some great deals! Further yet, they have an internal rewards/birthday system; and are on InKind as well. InKind is a very useful value-added application that I am happy to answer any questions about in private message exchange. Crab and shrimp enchiladas are the best non-Happy Hour menu item to order, I'd wager. And the signature Chevys corncakes that come along with most entrees are always a great albeit way too small delight. I think if the restaurant downsized their overhead space, they may be able to focus a little more on food quality and experimenting with new products. From my estimation, the brand and offerings are solid but stale, and need to improve upon its core to attract new clientele. It is an unassuming and perhaps not widely known brand in a space which is increasingly less visible and traversed. This is one of my go-to places whenever I stop by the area. read more

Solid Tex-Max place that I used to visit all the time at when I lived nearby but now I only get to check this place out occasionally. The frozen margs are really tasty here, especially the pineapple coconut margarita. The chips and salsa are good as ever and the salsa has that enjoyable smoky flavor that you don't get most places. My enchilada combo was also tasty and I enjoyed the beef enchilada and the pork one. It also came with a large portion of rice and black beans. This was a lot of food and I was barely able to finish everything. Service was fast and friendly as usual and the bar is a great place to relax with friends. This place is worth checking you if you're in the area and want some Tex-Mex and a tasty frozen margarita. read more

If you go on a tuesday, do the taco bar- they load up the tacos and you can get your food immediately. I didnt realize this so I got the street tacos and they tasted alright but took over 30 minutes to get the food and the toppings weren't nearly as much as what was given at the taco bar. The corn tortillas weren't anything special but the meats were seasoned nicely. The chips and salsa were fantastic. The house margarita was a basic house margarita that was enjoyable. I'd return for the taco bar & happy hour. read more

Handles a crowd well. (Eastern) Tex Mex tasted terrible, except for the mild salsa. My child said it was nothing to his Abuelita. This place should be overlooked. You won't miss out. read more

Chevy's Happy Hour is what I consider a unexpected gem tucked away in Pentagon City! Visited this location with co-workers and we had a great time exploring their menu ranging from Birria tacos to Margarita flights. Everything was fresh, tasty, and under $20. We sat outside on a sunny August afternoon and found the outside seating clean and comfortable. The service was fantastic and accommodated all of our needs. Especially loved seeing the guacamole being made in front of our eyes ! Definitely would like to visit again. read more

Food was amazing! We were peckish- not really starving- and I am so glad we grabbed food here. We tried the queso fundido and then the pumpkin bread pudding. Both things were unbelievable. The dessert was a whole other level though. The best part of all though had to be the service. Our server was Danielle and she was the perfect amount of attentive, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. I've heard and seen chevys before and always wanted to check it out but never did. Now I'm excited for the next time I go back! read more

this shit was ass and the plates where dirty I found a fucking tone nail in my food and I would not record and also roaches

We came here late on a weekend night around 9pm and it was pretty lowkey. There weren't many customers around. The ambiance and decor were very cool to look at and it set a vibe. Our waitress was also really nice, friendly, and generally prompt. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas and my husband had the fish tacos. Both of us felt very okay with the meal. It was filling, but not memorable for us. We ordered the ooey gooey sundae and it was not at all near what we thought it was. It felt like a very old, dense brownie with artificial vanilla ice cream. It also weirdly tasted like cinnamon. It looked super impressive, but did not taste good. Overall, we wouldn't return because we know of better Mexican places in the area or we'd rather try out other places first. It's not worth paying for parking to come here! read more

this was terrible. it was goyslop after goyslop. the food tastes so bad and the meat was even worse. dont even get me started on the rice. i looked at the beans and immediately got diarrhe. DO NOT GO HERE read more

it was so bad and they begged us to give them 5 stars. do not go here trust me, and they have many allergy problems. the toilets we also broken because of the massive dump I took after eating there because of how toxic it was and don't get me started on the rice. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. I had a few gift cards to burn, so here I am! They also had the NBA playoff games on, which was an added bonus. I ordered their Beef Birria Tacos ($15), which came with three tacos, Mexican rice, black beans, marinated red onions, and consommé. The tacos were a bit messy as the cheese made all of the tacos get stuck. Could have been put together a bit nicer. Besides that, it was a good and filling meal. My server in particular was really good. Very attentive and checked on me frequently. My glass of water was alway refilled. Would come back again in the future to watch some sports game with my meal. read more

I am in the DC area for a conference. As a person with food allergies, it is often difficult to find something to eat. I was excited to find out that I was able to eat here. The ambiance of the place was so much fun, from the decor right down to the music. It was after the lunch rush, so it was fairly quiet. Delia was my server. She was super friendly and provided excellent service. The food was delicious and you can tell that it was cooked fresh ti order. There is a rarity when you can taste the love in a meal when eating out. I definitely could taste the love! If you are in the area, I highly recommend that you check Chewy's out. read more

I joined Chevy's frequent eater club. At the beginning of the month they sent me a coupon via email for a free birthday meal. I ordered the smothered burrito with chicken. It was good.

The music was nice. read more

Stopped in for lunch today with a friend - it was pretty slow so the host was nowhere to be found.. I wish I didn't have to go looking around for someone to seat us :/ That being said, our server, Abdul, was excellent!! He was incredibly attentive and polite.

The food was amazing but it was super cramped and i could barely move and not even get in my chair

Looking for authentic Mexican food in a warm and cozy environment? ... Yeah no, this is not that. I would describe Chevys, with affection, as "Mexican Applebee's." This is classic Americanized Mexican food; everything is covered in cheese, the chips they bring to your table may be Tostitos, and the margaritas are large, weak, and a bit overly sweet. All that being said, I'm fond of Chevys. It's never too busy, there are a few TVs and some good patio seating, and the food, for what it is, is actually pretty great. This time, I had the salmon tacos and a margarita, both from the all day Sunday happy hour menu. The salmon was surprisingly well cooked and well seasoned, and the grilled (canned) pineapple was a nice touch. I would call this place 3.5 stars, but I rounded down because my tacos were garnished with a blob of scrambled eggs for some reason. read more
