Fajita nachos!
C Z.

Who doesn't love Chevys, right? We sat on the porch, had a great server (older Hispanic gentleman i forget his name sadly-he was great). Monday margarita was yummy! Food was on point. Service was great. Ambiance is always fun, smells like a club tho lol

Fish tacos

This is a must when visiting the Sacramento area. Ambience is laid back with Mexican vibe. Food and drinks are fresh and flavorful. Service was spot on. Highly recommend!

I've been here once with a friend and it was a fun experience. I love the outdoor seating by the river, you get to get fresh air while enjoying your meal. Our food was tasty and the service was good. I would come back again since it's been a while. I would say to plan ahead because parking can sometimes be a little tricky.

Chips and Salsa
Lisa K.

Recently visited this location for happy hour. My watermelon margarita was delicious .The Zucchini was fried to perfection and paired with an avocado ranch sauce, very good ! I will be honest to say our waiter was all over the place talking too fast , lol , and rushing around . Anyway , our ladies group enjoyed the drinks , but there were very mixed reviews on the food which included a taco bar .. Until next time .. Cheers

Dessicated rock-hard lime slice on drink tonight!

This restaurant could greatly benefit from the services of a gigantic power washer. The cutlery and glasses were dirty and stained. The menus were grimy, and at least two were stuck together with salsa. The whole building, including restrooms, seemed old, grimy, and tired. The food was meh, especially for the price. Actually, not even meh. Service was OK. We had a large party, so I guess it is expected that one person would not get their drink or their food when all the others did. The 20% gratuity is normal for large parties, but why was there an additional service charge? The food on my and my friend's plates had the skin of age on top. His tamale tasted frozen. My (cold) enchiladas were tasteless. The tostadas looked as if they had been sitting out too long. The photo shows the actual slice of lime with which the bar staff topped my pina colada this evening. No Mas, Chevy's. We will no longer drive our Chevy to the levee to consume your meals.

I've been to Chevy's on the River several times, and the location is one of the main reasons I keep coming back. Our server was friendly, attentive, and kept our drinks refilled throughout the meal. We ordered the Fresh Mex Sampler, chicken fajitas, and the skirt steak with shrimp. The sampler was perfect for sharing, and the chicken fajitas were pretty spicy. The skirt steak was cooked perfectly. Tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The shrimp was also very good. The rice looked a little dry and the portion was on the smaller side but the vegetables were flavorful and well prepared. We were celebrating a birthday so after ordering dessert the staff came over and sang Happy Birthday which was a nice touch. Just a heads up they no longer do the sombrero tradition. Overall the food was satisfying, the service was great, and the riverfront setting makes this one of my favorite Chevy's locations. I would definitely recommend it.

I've actually only tried this place long ago in my college days and from there I didn't really remember much but now coming as a more mature adult I have to say it's actually a pretty decent place. Came here with a group of coworkers and the service was pretty good. They were very attentive to our orders and made sure to give us lots of refills. The ambience was pretty good there were still other people in the restaurant so I didn't seem super quiet the view of the river is also kind of cool lots of parking if you don't mind walking. The food we ordered was also pretty good I was surprised that everything tasted really well had lots of flavor, wish I grabbed a dessert but it was a work event so skipped it. I would recommend this place 100%

This was my first time visiting this Chevy's to redeem my birthday meal. I loved that it was scenic and on the river. I ended up getting one of the custom entrees that allowed you to choose a taco, enchilada etc The service seemed a bit slow, even though there were seemingly available seats. We were waiting over 30 minutes to be seated on a Monday. They also didn't bring out their usual dessert/singing either. So while the ambiance was nice, the service could be stepped up a bit more.

Nachos were no cheese or sour cream.
Caitlin S.

I ordered from DoorDash today, and unfortunately my order was incorrect. I ordered the steak nachos, but they arrived with no cheese or sour cream. All of the black beans were piled at the bottom, and there was barely any salsa or steak on the nachos. I was really excited to try Chevy's again since it had been a long time, but I was extremely disappointed with the quality of my meal and my overall experience.

The outside area
Markus R.

First of all, wow. The location could not be better. It's very unique in that it almost has a Louisiana bayou/ Xochimilco vibe going on. The river views are absolutely fantastic and could not be in a better place. The only downside is that the parking lot is small and cramped but you should be able to find a spot. Angelita gave amazing service. Her friendliness was so memorable I made sure to get her name. Our food came out rather quickly for a party of our size. The flavor of Chevy's is as close to authentic as you can get. It's a chain so the difference in flavors is going to be minimal. Overall, expect to walk out of here for about $25 a person and you should be good. The views are some of the best I have seen in Sac. Bottom line/TLDR: Angelita was a life saver

Darci K.

Just say no. Seriously! For those that read my reviews, you know I'm not a fan of most chain restaurants, we decided to give Chevys a chance. I haven't been to this restaurant or location in years, so this is definitely the perfect opportunity I called ahead to see if they were busy, and to ensure that we would be able to be seated inside because it's still pretty cold in Sacramento. We were greeted by a confused host, who seated us at a dirty table. Before we actually sat down, we asked if we could have the table cleaned or be seated elsewhere. He ended up moving us to another table that was clean, but questionable. I'd asked about happy hour because it looks like this is one of the few places that has an extended happy hour menu which is always exciting for me We decided to forgo happy hour and just order our meals. They brought chips and salsa to the table. The salsa was incredibly bitter and watery and words cannot describe how bad it really was. The chips were stale, so it made for great combo ( insert major sarcasm) We had to ask for cutlery and napkins because none were placed on the table, as well as asking for water for the same reason. So far, Customer Service has been mediocre. We ordered the "steak "and the large three enchilada platter I will preface this by saying I'm not sure which one was worse. The steak: this has to be without a doubt, the worst piece of me that I've ever seen served at a restaurant. I don't even know what kind of beef this possibly could have been, but definitely was not one that should've been served. Don't let the looks for you. There is no seasoning on it, it tasted like shoe leather, and it made me seriously sad to have to try to eat it. The black beans tasted like someone opened a can and threw them on the plate. Just gross. I always look at rice as one of those indestructible foods. How does anybody really ruin rice?!? Well if you want to find out, this is a place to find out at. The enchiladas: it came with a chili relleno. I was really looking forward to trying this. Like Rice, how does anybody really mess this up. It's supposed to be cheesy and yummy and it was none of that. The actual chili that was used was still hard, I don't know what kind of batter they used, but this was like a floofy egg. It was thick, mushy, and just gross. There wasn't much cheese, and what was stuffed into the chili. I don't even know what that was. Yes, there's cheese or something that was very plastic. He tasting on top. But that's where it was on top. The enchiladas... I don't even know where to begin with us. They were completely inedible. The meat was absolutely horrible. The chicken, I don't even know what to say about it, because the sauce is over the enchiladas tasted like burnt tin. Are the pictures pretty of the food? Sure. But I'm telling you there's horrible things happening on these plates. Same rice and same beans and same bad experience. Overall, this is definitely been one of the worst meals that I've had at what should be a reputable restaurant. The one thing about chain restaurants, is that they're supposed to be consistency. If that's the case, I'm telling you right now, avoid this restaurant! This was over $60 experience gone wrong.

Lisa was a great server. Went during the happy hour for margaritas! We throughly enjoyed our time on the river.

Tortilla soup, delivery style

This will hopefully be read by management, because it's more a constructive criticism post. I've been sick and my brother ordered some tortilla soup to be delivered to my husband and I. I did appreciate that chips and salsa came with the order and that the soup was "deconstructed" into a few containers- the tortilla strip toppings were on the side. However, once we sat down to eat it- what a disappointment. I have never had a soup so salty it was inedible. Not even from a Chinese restaurant. We poured it back into pot and added almost a whole container of low sodium chicken broth. It was still inedible. Maybe if we would've strained the Chevy's broth first and then added our own broth, it would've been better. Sadly, it was too late to do that. I wonder if anyone else had the same experience with the tortilla soup. Seriously, like sipping soup made with a saltwater broth. Not good. Please do better. If we had been dining there, we definitely would have sent it back. One star because it was hot on delivery, and the separation of the tortilla strip topping was thoughtful and appreci

Do they still sell bags of chips and salsa?

Yes

When is outdoor seating available for reservations or is it just whatever table that's available (inside or out) at the time of your reservation?

They are currently not open for outdoor seating. I called this morning, I only want to go if I can sit outside. I was told they are not currently serving outdoors because of the heat. HOWEVER, my son went there a few weeks ago, and they were not… 

Are there keto options?

Yes, my gf is hard core keto and she loves the fajita salad. I eat all of the chips of course!

The burrito was below average in size, had meat covering less than half of it, and contained no sour cream. The portion and overall preparation were nowhere near what I would expect when paying for a carnitas burrito. But the most concerning part was the salsa. It had an extremely strong chemical taste and smell that reminded me of Fabuloso or mop/cleaning solution. It was so unpleasant that I genuinely questioned whether something had gone wrong with the preparation or whether the salsa had somehow come into contact with cleaning chemicals. I cannot say what caused it, but the taste was absolutely disgusting and raised a serious food-safety concern for me. This is why consistency and proper food-handling procedures matter. A restaurant can have a great meal one day and a terrible one the next, but customers shouldn't have to wonder whether something that tastes like cleaning chemicals is safe to eat. I hope management takes this seriously and looks into the preparation, storage, and handling of the salsa and other ingredients. If a product tastes or smells strongly enough like cleaning chemicals that a customer is questioning whether it may be contaminated, that is something that should be investigated--not dismissed. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this burrito. Poor portion, poor execution, and a salsa that raised legitimate food-safety concerns. Consistency and cleanliness should be non-negotiable in a restaurant.

Hearty, flavorful, and comforting, just like a good homemade Mexican soup should be. I've also enjoyed their wet burrito smothered in green sauce, a tamale without the red sauce on top, and a side of tamalito, a delicious sweet tamale! The perfect little treat to round out the meal. Everything is packed with flavor and keeps this hungry dino coming back for more! Now, this dino has traveled and experienced Casa Bonita in Colorado, and I'd call El Tapatío Citrus Heights' own little version! It's nowhere near as big or elaborate, but it has that same fun, immersive atmosphere. The colorful Mexican decor gives the place so much character, making you feel like you've been transported straight to Mexico. Pair that with authentic food, and you've got a dining experience that's more than just a meal! Rex Tip: Come hungry on weekend mornings because they offer a Mexican breakfast buffet! There are so many delicious, authentic dishes to choose from, including freshly handmade tortillas! Just be prepared for a line because this place is popular, and for good reason. We've happily waited our turn because the food is absolutely worth it! A little taste of Mexico right here in Citrus Heights that's definitely worth digging into! 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex!

The tacos were decent overall and the steak itself was definitely the strong point, but the red onions weren't finely chopped and that was throwing me off a little. Overall not a bad spot if you're in the area and want some Mexican food.

When we requested a specific number of to-go boxes, we weren't given enough and had to get up and ask for additional boxes ourselves. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but I took away 1 star for the lack of service. The service could definitely use some improvement, especially since it wasn't busy when we went. With more attentive service, this could have been a much better dining experience.
