    House side salad
    Renee I.

    Met a large group of friends here for lunch. The restaurant was able to easily accommodate 11 of us so that was nice. Our service was fair. Our waiter was good about drink refills for those with tea or soda but other requests or questions were not managed as well. One thing reliably good at Chevys is their salsa. I love the flavors in there. My friends even used it as salad dressing (because the selection at restaurant is not great). I ordered a side salad and combo meal. I got a carnitas taco in a crispy shell and enchilada with picadillo meat inside. Both were good. Anyone who ordered chicken seemed to be disappointed with their dish. The chicken was dry as they described it. Overall it was not the best experience I've had at Chevys but there were some positives and I know restaurants are having trouble finding good people to work there.

    Mini chicken chili, Chile releno, rice and beans.
    Greg S.

    Chain restaurant in the Mexican food style. I had the pick 2 combo for 14.50, Mini chimi, and a Chile releno, with rice and beans. The mini chimi was tasteful with a good chicken to cheese to beans ratio. The Chile releno could have cooked a bit longer as the pepper was not quite done, the beans were very flavorful and were actual beans like Casa Guallardo had back when they were around. The rice , well in a word, meh. Service was good and price with tip, just over $20.

    Chicken Fajitas
    Cherie R.

    Unlimited free chips and salsa were great! The chicken fajitas came out quickly and was a decent portion, the chicken was a bit thin - it seemed like a lot of food, but it wasn't nearly enough for 2 people - would recommend upgrading to a larger size or another entree. Our waiter was great, very nice and answered any questions we might have. Overall this is a good neighborhood Mexican chain to visit

    Great service and the food was good for a chain. Located in a shopping center so typical Tex-Mex atmosphere.

    I ordered several times from here and never had one issue. I even am updating my review because I finally sat down there and it was so good and the service was excellent. The food was fresh as usual and the place is clean.

    Chevys is not a place I would recommend. The food has no flavor at all. They are over priced. Do not waste your time.

    We still love this place! I'm not sure how many times we've been here over the past few years, but…read morewe've never had a negative experience here. My husband and I have been here a number of times, we've brought our (adult) daughters and their partners, out of town visitors, and we've recommended it to friends. Some of our friends went on our recommendation and enjoyed it. Again, I have to say that we love the vibe, the staff, and the food - probably equally! We sat out on the covered patio last night. It was pretty hot out, but the cover and the fans made it feel okay out there. We ran into neighbors as we were leaving. It's about 35 minutes from our house and we have never seen anyone we know there. They were enjoying it as well! The only negative I can think of is the restroom situation. There is one restroom with one toilet - plan ahead! There's usually a line. We'll definitely be back!

It's not authentic guac with chunks of guac, instead it was creamy and didn't have a clumps of avocado or flavor. It was more of a blended consistency with just a smashed avocado flavor. The chips were awesome! I ordered the mahi-mahi tacos. The first one that was brought to the table was fried so well done the fish inside was rubbery and dry, and the outer coating was black. My waiter apologized, visually confirmed that the dish was not right, took the dish and 5-10 minutes later brought out the same dish, assuming this one would be better. It wasn't. The fish was overwhelmingly fishy smelling, dry and overall, I felt like I would've had a better meal at McDonalds ordering their Filet o' fish. Ugh! The waiter took the one bite eaten from the taco dish and removed it from the ticket. He asked if he could bring me something else, but so much time had passed between the last 2 mix-ups that for me to order anything to replace the meal, my party would've left me at the table so I just had chips for dinner. Where I see an issue, is one would think a manager would've come over apologizing, or something. Yet, I felt like the bad guy sent to her room with no dinner. When the bill came, the waiter, what I feel like intentionally put the bill directly in front of another person from our party rather than in the center of the table. Probably because that person loved his meal... A person in my party got the 3 taco dinner- only ate one taco. Packaged up the other two tacos. I paid, tipped 20% assuming it wasn't the waiter's fault. And we walked out. We got to the front door, the person in my party that had boxed up the 2 tacos realized she left her box at the table, turned around 1-2 minutes after leaving, went back to the table and our waiter said he threw away the box! It wasn't busy ... I understand wanting to clean a table, but there should be some protocol of if this happens, maybe the bussers have x number of minutes before they throw away a meal that someone intentionally boxed up to take home. So -2 stars- I won't go back but if you try this place you might get something delish. My hope is you fall on the positive side of these reviews.

My parents eat there on the reg, though not so much the past couple of years, after they implemented their controversial policy of shrinking portion sizes and increasing prices at the same time. Uh, whose idea was that? I have an idea. Let's just say he's not very good at riding a bicycle. I've eaten there literally a million times since it opened up 10 or 15 years ago. Before that, we used to eat at the place in Olivette that was once a Ponderosa, El Paisano or whatever. I don't think they're related, but when that place closed, a handful of employees came over to Carreta's. That was years ago, and they're now long gone. Hopefully, they weren't shipped off to El Salvador. I hear it's not safe there. More recently, we've been eating at a place a bit further west on Olive that was once a Houlihan's. Noticing a trend? Carreta's must be feeling the effects, because they've remodeled and added a few new menu items, some of which will be familiar to Barrel House patrons. The remodel seems to mostly have been a matter of applying a fresh coat of paint and turning the dim switch up to its absolute brightest. It used to be dark in there, like at a fancy restaurant. Now it's like Kmart circa 1986. I didn't check to see if a blue light had been installed in the ceiling, nor did I make it back to near the restrooms to see if they've still got that influencer wall. The menu has been reprinted, and I'm sure they took advantage of the opportunity to jack up prices even further. Many of the old favorites remain, and I'm not sure what, if anything, they removed to make room for the small handful of new items. I saw that they still have the carnitas, my old go-to. It's the only pork item on the menu. If you're familiar with the area, you can probably do the math on that one. Most importantly, they've added Birria, only about 10 years after it became trendy. What's next, a smashburger? A pumpkin spice latte? I've had Birria at a number of places, here in the STL and elsewhere, and in a few different preparations, and it's never not been good. It kinda is the Mexican food equivalent of the smashburger, in that regard. An order of three will run you $16, and it doesn't come with anything other than the consommé and a ramekin of tomatillo salsa. Just the three tacos wasn't the most filling meal I've ever had, but it wasn't half bad, for there not being any sides or anything. They stuff those tacos full with mostly just meat (along with cheese, onions and cilantro), and I'd imagine it's roughly as caloric as eating half the produce aisle at the grocery store. It's so good. I figured it would be kinda mediocre but nevertheless enjoyable, because I thought I had this place pegged, but credit where credit is due. They've exceeded expectations. This was one of the best things I've ever had in a Mexican restaurant. If they don't let the quality slip or try to charge literally $1,000 for it, I could honestly see it becoming a huge hit. What do you know? This place might manage to stay in business just yet, despite the newer, fancier place down the street.

Served with a small pico de gallo salad, guacamole, rice, beans, and tortillas. The one chicken breast I got was very dry, even with the cheese sauce and the onions/peppers/tortilla chips made it super awkward to eat. The flavor was ok, but more than anything my issue is that it was way different than what was described on the menu and when specifically asked about it I was told it is what I ordered. Overall, a disappointing experience.

Chips and salsa are complementary here as they are at most Mexican restaurants. Chips are thin and light & the salsa is flavorful but without any heat. I ordered the carne asada quesadilla. It comes with pico, guacamole, & sour cream on the side. The quesadilla came out hot as did all of the other entrees. The portions for this entree are huge. It is a large burrito size flour tortilla folded in half and cut into 4. It could easily be split between two people especially if you order a side of rice/ beans to go with it. The pico & guacamole tasted great & were excellent accompaniments to the quesadilla. Service was good & friendly as well!
