 Chevy's

 

 

There is ample parking, however on weekend evenings plan to spend some time circling the parking lot due to the large amount of businesses in the area. Valet parking may be available, but was not needed on the Sunday evening that this restaurant was reviewed.

Upon entering, you will notice a large bar to your left. Here you can sample a variety of margaritas including the featured melon margarita blended with fresh cantaloupe. The dining room is spacious. Though the room was cool, we found a comfortable table aside an enclosed fireplace. Not only did the fire provide warmth, but it also gave off a certain sense of coziness. The atmosphere was festive, including a mix of Cuban and various Latin American rhythms.

 

 

 


The dining room is filled with traditional and brightly-colored Mexican decor. There are sombreros which are given to restaurant guests who are celebrating their birthdays. The service is professional and courteous. As soon as we were seated, we were given a basket of chips and salsa and our beverage orders were taken promptly. The salsa provides a new twist on the everyday tomato salsa. This salsa boasts a blend of pineapples, mangoes, and chilies as well as other fresh vegetables.

Though slightly spicy, it will not offend the most selective of palates and even leaves a slightly sweet taste in your mouth. The chips and salsa basket is kept full by the attentive servers. The lavish display of shrimp fajitas is served sizzling hot on an enormous stainless steel serving platter. The ample cuisine is easily enough for two. The shrimp are served in the center part of the dish over a bed of sautéed peppers and onions.

Lightly sautéed zucchini, yellow squash and broccoli are served next to the shrimp with a serving of sweet corn cake on the side. There are two compartments attached to the dish. One contains rice and beans. A choice of black, refried, or pinto are served with an artistic sprinkling of white cheese. The other compartment contains sour cream, Pico de Gallo, and guacamole which is proudly described to be freshly made several times daily. Homemade flour tortillas are served warm, enclosed in small paper sacks to preserve the heat.

The tortillas are so fresh, I imagine buying them directly from a small vender in Mexico. The guacamole, with chunks of avocado lives up to its description. The shrimp, seasoned and sautéed, is plentiful and served with tails on which makes for a beautiful presentation, but one must remember to remove them before wrapping the fajita. An order of steak fajitas to-go is served with the exact same presentation.

The quantity is just as large and the to go container has the same compartments for separating the ingredients and preserving their flavors. A tempting dessert menu is offered, but due to the quantity of food offered, previous thought must be put into saving room to indulge. The atmosphere was pleasant and festive. Chevy’s is a good choice for an evening of Latin music and Mexican food with traditional flavor and modern flair.
