    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

    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.

    Weird alien like drink

    There was a weird and awfully looking drink under our table. Totally off putting. There was also hair in the cookies. Also the queso was horrible. Like I'm sorry I didn't order a bean lemonade am I right fellow moms. Sincerely, rattafinger

    4 Meat Mixed Grilled Fajitas

    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.

    CHICKEN QUESADILLA

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Beef Enchilada, Pork Enchilada, Rice and Beans
    David H.

    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.

    Any free parking at your location?

    There is parking in the mall that costs $6 per hour if I remember correctly but if you go to Chevy's they will validate your ticket for at least one hour (so it's free if you stay one hour, but longer than that and you'll pay)

    How does Chevy's Fresh Mex handle Gluten Free/Dairy Free guests? Will be dining there soon and wondering what options are available. Thanks ~

My favorites were the grilled steak, grilled chicken, and al pastor. All three of these meats were very flavorful and tender. This was my first fish taco and I definitely plan on having more in the future because of this! The carnitas were also good but a bit dry-- still flavorful though!

I also had the taco platter which is so filling and delicious. Tacos are made just right. The guac comes in a small portion but so good. The first time I had the salsa it was towards the end of the night and it was watered down but when I came back the salsa was perfect! This is my go to place in Arlington for Mexican food. The house marg in passionfruit is a must try! SERVICE: the team is quick and funny. Very welcoming and knowledgeable about the food. Great service! VENUE: very cute traditional decor with lots of unique art on the wall. It's very homey and there is ample seating inside. They also have patio space out front.

I liked their menu and wanted to give it a try. I got there shortly after they opened up and it was pretty empty. I got a seat right by the door, and had a view of the street and watched as the restaurant began to fill up. Lots of college kids came in as the evening went on and it seemed like a popular restaurant. I thought my server was very good. He checked in regularly and had a lot of tables he was responsible for. For my meal, I started with Queso Fundido and that was probably my favorite. The cheese was really hot and very delicious. It also came with three types of salsa on the side (a salsa verde, a chili salsa, and a third one I'm not sure what it was). I did like the chili one. The flour tortillas were very hot and fresh. I enjoyed it. For my entree, I had the Achiote Hanger Steak Fajitas. This was my least favorite part of the meal. I had asked the waiter if they were good and he told me he always recommends it. I didn't mind the sides that came with it. The rice and beans were pretty good and I liked the guacamole. What I didn't like was the actual steak. It was very tough and hard to bite into. What was weird is it was completely red in the middle so I believe it was medium to medium rare, but the steak wasn't tender at all. It also wasn't very seasoned and the peppers and onions under it just seemed to be sitting in oil. I did ask for salt and pepper, but even with it, I didn't like it. I ended up not finishing the meal. Finally, I had ordered the corn cheesecake as a dessert. I now realize they sent out churros instead, but I guess I wasn't paying attention until after the fact.The churros were OK. I would have preferred more chocolate sauce on mine. I wish I would have spoken up because I was actually looking forward to trying the cheesecake. For me the food was ok, and not spectacular. I'd be willing to try out something else and come back to at least try their cheesecake, but if I never returned that'd be fine with me too.

One such place was a Mexican place as my old fav Mexican place on Kent Island (Señors Chile) had great but extremely greasy birria tacos. So you can imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this food truck that read "Tacos Los Primos". The spot made me curious. So I went to visit a friend who lives in walking distance from the spot for lunch recently. She ordered the veggie burrito and I ordered (pic below) Quesabirria tacos (no onion). When we got back I was WOW'd by not only how yummy my food was but how it wasn't oozing with grease! The consume that comes with for dipping is just enough for me personally and bursting with flavor. As you'd expect from most food trucks the service is made to order. When you go up to the counter and tell them what you want they make it fresh! The truck is parked on Rhoside Green Park (sandwiched between Courthouse and Rosslyn) so if you live in either neighborhood it's easy to access from walking distance. And since it's near an Arlington green space there's usually some seating nearby you can pop a squat and eat lunch. Given spring time is approaching this seems more doable. Just yesterday I was driving by to visit the same friend and saw a long line for this place! Most people in Arlington know how great this spot is, it is a terribly kept secret! Can't comment much on how long the line was busted as I went during a time when it was windy (but warm) and it was mid day. When I drove by it was pushing dinner time past 7pm. I love the food here! But since I live closer to the storefront location in Lyon Park I usually end up ordering food from there (review on that location is coming soon)! If you like authentic Mexican food that's fresh and delicious, you'll enjoy this spot!
