    Grand nachos - it was amazing! Yummy!!
    Jitt B.

    We've tried many Mexican restaurants around the area and this spot ranked high in my list! The restaurant was clean and had such a fun flair! Our server was friendly and very helpful. The menu was filled with a wide variety of appetizing entrees and delicious cocktails! We started with the nachos grande and it was overflowing with beef, salsa, cheese, guacamole - so delicious! I would highly recommend this for an appetizer. Our grandkids got the kids meal with came with ice cream - such a special surprise for them! Wonderful place - I highly recommend trying this spot out!

    Steak quesadilla and tortilla soup combo. ($17)

    The thing I remember most was how friendly, attentive, and accurate our server Viviana was. They have a larger menu to choose from with some weekly specials. I went for lunch and ordered the combo meal - a steak quesadilla paired with tortilla soup which ran for about $17. The soup was okay, but I've had more flavorful versions elsewhere. The steak quesadilla was filled nicely and tasted great. I haven't been here in over 10 years and actually avoided it because of a bad memory of it in the past, but it seems to have changed for the better. I would go back anytime if someone suggested it.

    Dinner yummy

    Great service, the team was wonderful and very professional. Tables were clean and menu was very broad. Prices were a bit high but the portions make up for it. Steak burrito and chicken tacos were tasty. Margaritas were good for happy hour too. Will come back when in msp

    Came here fora Mom's happy hour gathering and the happy menu was very limited for food and drinks with service being spotty. I didn't like it that when I wanted to start a food order, the server didn't seem like she wanted to take my order and told me that I should wait for the rest of the group to order food. I didn't have lunch and need to have some food in my tummy prior to partaking in any alcoholic beverages. The rest of our group wasn't going to be there until 45 minutes later. We had to ask for extra straws more than four times. I haven't been back to Chevys for long time because of the service not being great. The ambiance was a little loud as it was hard to hear our conversations. Will be a long time before coming back again.

    I've been here maybe 1-2 other times before. Food is more so Tex-mex than authentic tasting. Also don't believe the quality and taste match the prices. It's a bit expensive. The most recent visit was a Friday night during happy hour. The waiter talked us into ordering the bigger drinks and my friend could barely drink hers (which isn't his fault). We ordered a variety of food but I'll only comment on things I tried which were the mango habanero wings (special limited time menu) and the nachos grande w/ chicken and chopped jalapeños (which were an extra $3). The wings were good and flavorful. The nachos were pretty soggy under the top layer and were kind of bland. Luckily the nachos were part of the happy hour special. The waiter seemed super busy the whole time but the restaurant wasn't that busy, especially for a Friday night. I don't know that I'd go back since the food was bland and the prices are high. I'd hate to order 2 tacos for $20+ and it not taste good.

    Chevys is located across the mall of America and close to hotels in the area. They happened to be one of the only places opened around the mall on New Years Eve evening. We were in a time crunch to eat before an escape room scheduled at 10:00pm back in the mall. Mexican food, love their chips and salsa, it was happy hour so half off on appetizers and I love their flautas and their sweet sauce. Our server was super friendly and nice and got us in and out in our time frame. They had TVs by the bar and they were showing football instead of basketball. But easy parking and very family friendly.

    Chipotle chicken enchiladas - good
    Kate M.

    3.5 stars- mixed experience. Arrived Sunday evening at 5:30 for our reservation. Enjoyed margaritas on HH and chili con queso (also HH). I ordered the chipotle chicken enchiladas. Pretty good, especially enjoyed the charro beans. My sister got the fajita salad which she enjoyed. My dad got cheese enchiladas which he wasn't gushing about but that's fine. Others didn't have big complaints about their food. Service was S-L-O-W which was weird for early on a Sunday evening when there weren't that many folks there. I think what set me over the edge was when we ordered dessert- three for the 6 of us. My nephew was turning 10, so he ordered a big brownie sundae. Someone else ordered fried ice cream, and for our 3 year old son, a little vanilla kids ice cream cup. They staggered the desserts. Why? I don't know. But they were like 15 minutes apart, which maybe would have been fine if 3 adults, but my 3 year old was just losing his sh*t watching everyone else eat their ice cream/dessert. His was the simplest- just vanilla ice cream! So it felt unnecessary and kind of cruel, lol. Also they came and sang happy birthday at the tail end of my nephew finishing his brownie sundae. At the beginning of the meal my dad said he wanted to order a dinner to go, and the server recommended he put it in later. When the server followed up, we all sat there for another 20 minutes at the end of the meal waiting for the to-go order. And then waited AGAIN for the check. Just a lot of waiting for what didn't seem to be peak time. So I guess leave plenty of time for that. I would have scheduled reservation for even earlier had I known. Food 4/5 stars (surprisingly) Service 2/5. Server was very friendly......when he was present

    Pina Colada
    Liz P.

    Located next to at hotel and has a mid sized parking lot to park for free. Also across the Mall of America. Walked in to a busy night, we had a reservation and were seated promptly. Water was brought out quickly and server was attentive and helpful. We ordered some drinks. I had the pina colada which was tasty and smooth like slush. I ordered the chipotle chicken enchiladas. Salsa chicken, jack cheese, fresh corn and chipotle-sherry cream sauce. It was delicious. I ordered the crème brûlée and that was a good portion and yummy. Service was fast and friendly. I would like to come back and try more items from the menu for sure!

    The Chicken Fajita Burrito

    The food was delicious- although insanely large calorically. I recommend getting the grilled vegetables and the chicken there was awesome!

    My friends and I visited here for a part of my birthday celebration as we have talked about this…read moreplace before so I wanted to at least give it a shot. Overall the food was okay, and I intentionally avoided most dishes under the fuertes section not only because they were pricey but also because I wanted to see how much care they put into dishes that customers probably relatively order less, so I ordered quite a few dishes under the para la mesa section. In terms of highlight, the best dish in my opinion was actually the pistachio tres leches. The milk was definitely there, and there was a good amount of pistachio flavor immersed into the cake. I thought that texturally it worked very well, too, because the softness of the cake provided a good contrast with the pistachio bits on the top. The esquites were great as well, with the tajin crema providing both a sense of creaminess and just a tiny bit of spice, and the manchego cheese giving flavor. The baja fish tacos contained a good amount of white fish and the chipotle crema added flavor. Personally I liked the fact that the brisket tacos had a good amount of smoked brisket meat, but my friend who ordered the dish didn't enjoy it because she didn't think the salsa was flavorful enough, which I could understand but disagreed with. Other dishes were leaning towards okay to meh, such as the papas machas, which had fried yukon potatoes containing very good crispy texture but way too salty flavor, especially if the potatoes were tiny and had a lot of oil at the bottom. The brussel sprouts did not have enough lime vinaigrette so it was practically flavorless, especially since it was probably deep fried without additional seasoning, which also caused some pieces to be hard to chew. The grilled snapper itself was almost flavorless, and relied on the salsa for flavor completely. I didn't understand it because it looked like it was grilled in achiote, so I assumed it followed the tikin xic dish in Yucatán Mexico, with pickled red onions and all. Maybe the achiote paste didn't have enough spices in it for marinading, or maybe the time wasn't enough. Even though as of now I wouldn't actively recommend this establishment to others yet, I would still like to visit myself to try some dishes that my other friends have hyped up, namely the enchiladas de camote and verdes.

    I came with a friend to check out the "cantina hour" at Chilango. The traffic is awful, so be…read moremindful of that if you are coming for the cantina hour which runs 4-6. Luckily we got there in time and I got a Chilango margarita and some nachos. The margarita was DELICIOUS, not too sour but flavorful. The nachos were pretty good: the toppings were well distributed and lots of flavor but I didn't love the combo of beans and sour cream, but I guess both are authentic to Mexico. We sat in the patio and enjoyed the beautiful lake view as we caught up, which was great, and I plan to come back! Pro tip: they validate parking! Turn on Thomas and pull into the beach club underground parking and bring your parking ticket to the restaurant for validation.

    I've been to Pajarito a number of times but this one was special-- an engagement dinner (or…read morespecifically, a post engagement celebratory dinner). I am updating the review because Pajarito delivered the experience I knew they would and exceeded expectations. See my previous review (chips are great, proteins are great, drinks are great) and all that stands. The additional details here are: they brought us a celebratory split champagne, dessert of choice on the house (the bunuelos were actually super good and I would get them again-- had no idea just how warm, light, sweet, yet dense a donut could be), and a aperatif (a fruity post-dinner mini shot/drink). Not to mention, the host was quick to say "congrats" (I had let them know of the occasion ahead of time). As well, they were happy to reserve an ideal seat of choice for us with advanced notice. Overall, such a great dinner and great service, which is what I was hoping for for this once-in-a-lifetime milestone celebration. Pajarito delivered. Thanks!

It offers a good place to hang out and talk while drinking a beer and having a munch. The food isn't mind blowing or anything but it's definitely solid for a bar restaurant.
