"Always delicious! I've been eating at Chevy's for over a decade. No where else in Minnesota compares. Delicious, fresh, perfect temperature, and unsurpassed flavor. I now live out of state but a dash to Chevy's is always on the priority list when visiting MN. The chicken chimichanga is a family favorite, along with the steak fajitas."

"Chevys is located across the mall of America and close to hotels in the area. They happened to be one of the only places opened around the mall on New Years Eve evening. We were in a time crunch to eat before an escape room scheduled at 10:00pm back in the mall. Mexican food, love their chips and salsa, it was happy hour so half off on appetizers and I love their flautas and their sweet sauce. Our server was super friendly and nice and got us in and out in our time frame. They had TVs by the bar and they were showing football instead of basketball. But easy parking and very family friendly."

"We arrived around 3:10pm on a Saturday. Wasn’t very busy when we walked in. Host seated us at what appeared to be a clean table. As we were sitting down, an employee clearing the table next to ours starts arguing with the host that our table was not clean and not to sit us there. The host seemed confused as this table appeared to be clean. They continued to argue in Spanish for a moment before going their own ways. We sat there for nearly 10 minutes before our waitress stopped at our table and dropped off napkins for our yet to be ordered drinks. She said she would be right back to get our drink order. Nearly 5 minutes later she returned to take our drink order, but we were also very ready to order our food. For our drinks, my wife asked for a water and my daughter and I ordered Pepsi. She brought back two waters and one Pepsi. She apologized and grabbed another Pepsi. After we got our drinks, we received our complimentary chips & salsa. Seems like something we should have gotten shortly after being seated. Food came out quickly and was amazing although very overpriced. We were here about 10 years ago and had an amazing experience. Sadly the place seems to have declined and probably will not return any time soon."
