Editorial Review for Chevy's Fresh Mex – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
With friendly servers and goofy gimmicks, Chevys is a big draw for families and groups looking for a fun, affordable night out. A full bar and a dozen different margaritas attract a happy hour crowd, and a tortilla machine is often surrounded by children watching the dough-to-tortilla transformation. Fajitas, a house specialty, are available with nearly a dozen different fillings, from mesquite-grilled chicken to portobello mushrooms and asparagus. Desserts include flan and sopaipillas.

This place is the all around good times for everyone. If your plans include Fresh Mex , depending on your company , parking may land you in front of the doors or on Garden Hwy it self . Maybe your out with Mom and Dad or the Grand parents , so an early dinner was on everyones minds already . Parking won't be a problem , but if the night includes hanging out with your friends then dinner is served all the way until they close . The drinks from the bar are wonderful and the chips and salsa are always fresh . Remember that Fresh Mex means no cans , thats right no tin cans to be found here because everything is made that day . The staff are always a group of friendly fun people , I used to be one . This is true I had five super years working on the river , and now five more years have came and gone . Chevys on the river is still hands down the best time whether you are a guest or you make your pay check there .

The only reason this place sees any business is because it's near the river. I've been there a few times because the Blue Gecko next door was too crowded and have never enjoyed Chevy's. Last night was the worst. We showed up and were seated at one of their cheap plastic tables outside, and the table was literally falling apart. We didn't see a waitress or even a glass of water for 15 minutes. We finally ordered and my margarita didn't show up for another 15 minutes because, as I was told, the bar was "behind." 15 minutes..? My food was terrible. I ordered the "cinco" plate, which included a variety of items. The plate was enormous: Chevy's obviously tries to make up for low quality with large quantities. My chile relleno was a flaccid, deflated and gooey mess sitting in a pool of grease in its own plate. It was awful to look at. The other items were completely coated in a red sauce that tasted as though it were ketchup based. Authentic is certainly not a word that comes to mind. $45 seemed pretty pricey for dinner for two at this quality (below many mexican fast food places). To make matters worse, I ended up with an upset stomach that kept me awake all night.
Pros: Riverside drinks and party atmosphere
Cons: Food and service are horrible
