CARNE ASADA TACOS VAMPIROS
Byron C.

The few times this place has come up in conversation, people are always surprised that it still exists. "Chevys over by the Inner Belt? Yeah, I used to go to happy hour there back in the '70s." I'm exaggerating the dates, but only by a little bit. This place has been around for a while, and I don't know that it's been as popular as, say, the nearby Chick-fil-A for much of that time. I was there maybe a year ago, after having not been there since maybe the 1990s, and I remember finding it to be nicer and better than you'd think. I got the nachos appetizer, which was a weirdly generous serving--almost scandalously so (you could imagine it being featured in some listicle about extremely high-calorie chain restaurant menu items)--but also pretty expensive. Like, maybe they could just give you less of it and not charge quite as much. I noticed, on the way in today, signage for the aforementioned happy hour, and on the table there was an ad for the lunch special. Alas, I don't think you can get either of them on the weekend. There's some sort of Sunday brunch, but I'm not going to a Mexican restaurant to eat Eggs Benedict. But that might be the way to eat here, if you just have to: find some sort of discount. The food's not half bad, but they're charging like the kind of restaurant you take only the most high-class, most potentially, erm, appreciative of dates to. I toyed around with the idea of getting the burger, which I can always eat, but nothing about it struck me as particularly unique (supposedly, there's some sort of special sauce on it; of course there is), and what's the likelihood, really, that a Mexican restaurant would serve the best burger? So tacos it was. In that category, I was torn between the Birria, which is on trend, and cool because it comes with a cup of au jus to dip it into, like a French Dip, arguably the GOAT sandwich, and something called the Tacos Vampiros, or something to that effect. The latter is some sort of hot preparation, with guac on it. It looked especially tasty in a photo, and I noticed that you could upgrade your taco in various combos to a Vampiro for a truly obscene surcharge--more than you'd pay for the taco itself in most places. I figured, what the heck. I'd have a look. Whoever came up with this mess is a fast food genius on a par with the guy who came up with the Mexican Pizza at Taco Bell, the fact that you could never actually get a Mexican Pizza when it was on the menu notwithstanding. Whatever they put down inside it, in addition to the carne asada, it was legit hot, in a a-child-might-cry-if-you-gave-this-to-them sort of way, but the heat was offset by the cool, uh... creamy guac. The carne asada didn't have any identifiable char, and may very well have come from a bag, but it was tender and seemingly wasn't cooked beyond medium, i.e. ruined (with all due respect to the president). And I appreciated the way they melted shredded cheese inside the tortilla, which lent both flavor and structural integrity. Like I said, geniuses came up with this. Served alongside the tacos were rice, a tiny, condiment-size bowl of pinto beans and a tiny scoop of sweet corn something or other (not its actual name in Spanish). The beans, which had pico in them and were sprinkled with something along the lines of the grated, shelf stable Parmesan cheese that comes in a green can, and the corn substance, which functions as a sort of bread *and* a sort of dessert, were both delicious, and I wish they gave you more of them, given that they can't cost too much to make. I'd check to see how much it would cost to purchase an additional serving of the corn substance, or the beans, or perhaps an additional taco, but something tells me that to do so would require the kind of meeting with my accountant that might actually get physical. They weren't quite worth all that, but damn it if they weren't pretty good.

Chevys has always been one of my very favorite restaurants but I hadn't been in a while. We decided to go here after a team volunteer event- about 10 of us. We had the most attentive and lovely server- I don't remember her name but she was wonderful! We got our food in a timely manner- she made sure our drinks were always full and even asked us if we needed to-go drinks! Although, my carnitas bowl has been gone off the menu for a long time- I did order the carnitas dish which is pretty much like the carnitas bowl. Let me tell you- the same, tasty, delicious taste was there! I LOVED IT! It was ON POINT! YUM-O! Along with the chips and oh so yummy salsa- I am thankful for my Chevys!!!! Highly recommend!

Nacho Grande
Sarah B.

We visited around 7 pm on a Sunday night. They had several tables in the restaurant, but it seemed quiet. Our booth felt secluded, which was perfect for us. It's easy to have a conversation but not feel forgotten. I had Nachos Grande and my friend had the Carne Asada Fries. My nachos were huge, plentiful 8n toppings, and the chicken was very juicy and delicious! A+ The carne asade fries were reported to be tasty, as well. The only complaint was that the portion seems so small for the price on the fries. The nachos were a great deal, though!

Came in for dinner with family. There was 14 of us in our party. We waited for a table for 30-35 minutes before being seated. They weren't busy, but seems like they were short staffed so they couldn't seat patrons at some tables. It was clean, there are only two benches to sit at while you wait. Our party sat in the back of the establishment. It was pretty dark as some of the lights on the ceiling weren't working, and we had to use our cell phone lights to read the menu. When asked about it, they stated they had to replace some of the lightbulbs. Our server was Justin. He was kind. He greeted us as soon as we were seated and took our drink orders. It took a while for him to come back and take our food order. Upon taking our food order, we waited about 20 -30 minutes before the food came to the table. Half of our table received their food and the remaining four didn't. Justin came to inform us that there was a hold up and the food would be out shortly. Two more orders eventually came out. My husband and I were the last to receive our food and everyone at our table were just about done eating. Justin came and informed my husband and I that our meal would be compensated. I ordered the chicken, carnita, steak and shrimp fajitas. There was so much food that i couldn't eat it all. The steak was tender, shrimp was delicious, chicken was juicy, but i didn't care for the carnitas. Overall the food and service was decent.

GRILLED FISH TACOS
Shirley D.

We celebrated Father's Day at Chevys. We made 4pm reservations because we thought it would be packed. More than 1/2 the tables were empty. I ordered the Grilled Fish Tacos and was underwhelmed. I had a slice of fish and a little bit of coleslaw. Filled about a third of the taco shell. The rice and beans were okay. This is t a $17 meal. Most everyone else was disappointed in their food as well. Two people got burritos and happy with the size and taste. Server was pleasant. I don't think we will be back.

Salsa and chips
Christy C.

Chevys Mexican Restaurant is a Mexican restaurant that I've never been to although Mexican is my go-to to food. I decided to give it a try, as soon as we were seated the waitress came over with chips and salsa dip, the salsa dip I did not like at all, we placed our dinner order my normal go to meal was not offered at the restaurant so I ordered an appetizer plate which consisted of flautas, quesadilla, chicken tenders and nachos it was a nice amount of food, I didn't really like the quesadilla it was kind of soggy, the rest of the food was good, we also ordered BBQ chicken wings and they were delicious. The restaurant has lots of seating both tables and a bar area, the outside area has lots of seating, a few TVs are outside too and it very well lit. The chicken wings and the outside area is a reason that I would give this restaurant another try.

appetizer: CARNE ASADA FRIES $15

-0/10. Its a Saturday night we got there around 9pm there were a few folks outside and 2 tables took inside. We noticed it was empty and commented on that and the host says "thats cause we're about to close". We didn't know but the comment felt unwelcoming. Sat down waited a while to be asked about drinks. A couple more groups of folks. We order. I got the Carne Asada fries with no cheese, and no sour cream. That still meant I was supposed to get the onions, peppers, and alioli... well you see the pic. Dry pieces of steak very little amount of meant, mind you this was a $15 plate... My sister got $2 fries that had more fries than mine. Everyone at our table overall did enjoy the food or experience. Our first time here.

Promos

A VERY disappointing experience. Came here on a weekday due to their late evening happy hour for some food and drinks. In the cantina the bartender was also the wait staff for the tables which became problematic as it caused a wait for those of us sitting at tables/the small booths around the restaurant. I ordered a margarita & the happy hour carne asada fries. When I received my order I realized they were tots not fries so I was confused. I hate to wait over 10 minutes for my server to come back over and asked him about it. He said they were out of fries so he hoped I didn't mind they did tots. If you don't have fries shouldn't you tell the patron who's paying for fries to make sure the switch is ok? In my case it was not because I do not like tots so he sent it back. The food was also lukewarm with big slices of 1 bell pepper on top and some onion, not uniform in any way for such a small serving dish. I asked to order to carne asada pizza and they said they couldn't make it because they didn't have the stuff for it. I did like the carne asada on the tots so I ordered the carne asada street tacos and was disappointed. The tacos were cold, had a lot of fat on the meat, and were not proportioned right to the shells. After already being disappointed I just ate the meat that didn't have a lot of fat and left the rest of the taco shell. Regarding service it was an issue to have bartenders also be the wait staff at the bar. Not only are they taking care of customers seated at the bar but making everyone's drinks including patrons outside. I believe that contributed to the problem of me getting cold food as it was probably sitting there because the bartenders hardly left the bar. Once I received my food I was waiter for my waiter and didn't see him. After waiting for my check for over 15 minutes I had to walk to the bar to ask for my check. The lone bartender also looked around for my waiter and couldn't find him. When she walked me back to see what table I was at through the window in the wall we saw him sitting and chatting with another server. This is completely unacceptable. I was unable to order another drink and had to wait over 25 minutes to actually pay my bill because my server walked off to go socialize while not even on break. I will not be coming back and would not recommend this place.

Mexican pizza!
Desiree R.

Love love this place always speak highly of them Mrs.Debbie is my favorite waitress you can request to sit at her section upon entering But margaritas are *Chefs kiss* the Mexican pizza I wasn't a fan favorite of the meat which is chirizo Idk but it was very decent Also as of sep2024 all pro football games happy hour will be from open to close versus regular days it's 3-9pm just a heads up This place is AMAZING FOR CELEBRATING BIG DINNERS AND CELEBRATIONS It's perfectly huge! I know you will enjoy this place they do have where you can make reservation but never at this time are they needed unless that's just your thing Definitely come out and support this place and youll see, the decor is nice as well at 3pm in the cantina they have someone in the open cooking fresh tacos for happy hour

Happy Hour Menu
Jasmine W.

Decided to try this restaurant after learning it's a sibling to El Torito chain in California. Loved the fresh chips but wish the salsa was spicer. Good happy hour for food and drinks.

Strawberry House Margarita
Cristy M.

Overall, a decent place for chain-style Mexican food. Big serving sizes, but it can be on the pricier side! WAIT TIME: We were seated immediately for a 2pm lunch on a Saturday. It's a big space so seems like they're never too busy. FOOD: We each got a house margarita with added strawberry flavoring (I requested a Tajin rim on mine and they fulfilled it!). They were very sweet tasting, not much alcohol taste, and it wasn't very strong. Still refreshing though. For food, we split one of the specials (pork belly and carnitas fajitas) and the tacos vampiros (carne asada tacos on corn tortillas). They both came with sides of rice and beans (big portions!). The fajitas also came with four flour tortillas. The tacos were quite oily, which is my only complaint, but they did taste delicious. The carne asada with the melted cheese combo was excellent. The pork belly fajitas were unique; not my favorite choice but they did taste good. SERVICE: Our server was very attentive and gave us our time to look over the menu when we needed it. She also gave us recs - very kind and helpful! She brought us chips and salsa to start and refilled it because we were starving. Very thoughtful. AMBIANCE: It's a much larger place than I expected inside; they also have a nice patio for the warmer months. Some Mexican theme decor around the restaurant, it's a solid space. PRICE: It came out to $64 for the two dishes and two drinks. On the pricier side for a lunch, but as previously mentioned, portion sizes are quite large so you do get a lot for what you pay. Still, maybe a little on the pricier side for chain restaurant Mexican food.

Chevy's chain was one of my favorite Mexican restaurants... unfortunately most have closed except for this one....so it is a real treat! My two tacos with rice and beans was delicious!

House Margarita Flight: Strawberry, Mango & Original
Courtney S.

Parking has never been an issue and I've been seated quickly each time. I had the same waiter as the last time (he is also a bartender). My friend and I ordered the Chevy's Tots (Seasoned tater tots topped with shredded cheddar cheese, chile con queso, housemade secret sauce, bacon bits and green onions) as an appetizer. Since we both were hungry, we ate every morsel. They have Happy Hour every day from 4pm-9pm so I ordered the Margarita Flight. I think it had more salt/sugar on the outside than the last time I was here so I definitely felt like a horse getting my salt lick on. We also had chips and salsa and I'm not a fan of the smoky salsa. My friend odered the slow roasted carnitas. He makes his own at home so I don't think he was too impressed. I had the Green Enchilads with beans and rice. I couldn't finish my meal as I ate too much of the tots. We shared the pineapple upside down cake which was heavenly but it did have way too much kahlua cream sauce in my opinion.

Good size patio

Great sign to us that people love coming here. We ordered the chicken flautas, shrimp tacos, a barbacoa taco, elote in a cup, and a strawberry Agua fresca. The food was wonderful! My favorite was the chicken flautas. They were very crisp but the chicken inside was so moist. The toppings and the salsa was a wonderful addition. They really need to bottle and sell that salsa. It was some of the best we've had. I'm a non beef eater but my husband said the barbacoa was . He said it was hard to determine his favorite between that and the flautas but if he had to choose it's the barbacoa because it was juicy and very flavorful. It also held together well in the corn tortillas. He wished he ordered more than one. The strawberry Agua fresca was very tasty. It reminded me of a strawberry milkshake. The portions are so plentiful and the menu has so many choices. We are looking forward to trying new things. We were so full we didn't get to try desserts, as it is a Paleteria, but we will most definitely be back!

I enjoyed my burrito and fries-- I thought the burrito was a tad bland but nothing a bit of hot sauce couldn't fix. The portions were very generous and there was a lot of meat on the taco as well. There was a bit of a language barrier with ordering but the cashier and staff were all very nice. We did end up googling some of the menu item for clarification though. There is a lot of seating in the back room as well as in the front room. Overall very reasonable prices, good flavor, and nice portion sizes. Will plan on coming back!

Inside, it's simple, comfortable, and exactly what you hope for when you're searching for an authentic hidden gem. No gimmicks. No over-designed decor. Just the hum of conversation, plates coming out of the kitchen, and a dining room filled with people who clearly know they've found a place to break bread. Er-- tortillas. I ordered the Pollo a la Plancha, and it was outstanding. Grilled chicken served with perfectly seasoned vegetables, fluffy and flavorful Mexican rice, and warm corn tortillas. I asked them to hold the melted cheese (because dairy and I are currently in a complicated relationship), and it was still one of the best gluten-free meals I've had in a long time. Fresh, satisfying, and packed with flavor. My husband ordered the Norteño tacos, which arrived piled high with toppings and absolutely loaded with flavor. And yes, they come with fries. I had never seen this combination before, but I can confirm it is life-changing. He enjoyed every bite. Before the main meal even arrived, we were hooked by the complimentary chips, salsa, and a bright green crema that came with a serious kick. Spicy enough to get your attention, but so good you keep going back for more. This is the kind of restaurant you almost don't want to tell people about because it feels like a secret. But places this good deserve to be celebrated. Authentic food, generous portions, warm service, and the unmistakable feeling that you've stumbled onto something special. Five stars without hesitation.

Food came out quickly, and the portion sizes are huge for the price. The food is also delicious…read more Servers are slow even when it's not at all busy. Overall, still very much worth it, and I'll go back.
