Chevys Fresh Mex

pre packaged faux mexican food no thx

Hi I’m want to come there on feb 6 about
with a party of
it good for groups

A friend and I had dinner here last night. This location is large and very clean; hidden in a nice shopping center. The food and drinks were great and our waiter, Jaye, was amazing and very attentive.

My wait was 30 mins on a Saturday nite. Which is not bad. After being seated I notice that it was still happy hour. I asked the waitress about it, and she said we was seated in the wrong section for that. Food I had better at Chevys. Matter of fact this Chevys will be on the bottom of my list. My food was cold. Other then that. I don’t see me coming here again. And it’s because of the food.

Now I know I’m more of a critic because I was brought up on New Mexico chili, but this was awful. The sauce was brown and very bland. The chili relleno was soft and again had no flavor. I guess my first clue should have been when they brought out the chips and salsa that it was brown too. Where are the Reds? The Greens? The flavor? The only thing decent was the service. He was a nice guy.

Terrible food the one in Arundel is better. The service in brandywine md is bad food was not great did not ask me if I need it more drinks.

We were invited back by the manager and the food was pretty good and the service was great this time! Thank you

There are times when U just want a good meal. This was it. I guess this disaster is what I get for cheating on my diet and trying to enjoy a day off from school with my son.
What can I say… the chicken on the sampler was hard as a rock, the chicken inside the quesadilla was sour, the flauntas were perfect but the fajitas nachos just tasted like dried chicken chunks and beans. They replaced the chicken on the sampler but thst was it. My son didn’t want to try anything else.

I had the shrimp and corn Tomalito… the meal was cold. still I tried to eat it until I chomped down on a really cold piece of shrimp. I couldn’t force it anymore.
My server (Tee) was excellent. She checked on us and kept the root beer flowing for my son. Some time during our meal, the music was turned up really loud and at that point we asked for the check.

So much food was uneaten, the very nice manager came to talk with me. But first, he had to go turn the music down. Just like in this review, I shared my thoughts with him. He asked in — depth questions about the food, which to me showed concern for how the food is prepared.
Unbeknownst to me, when he brought me the check, he comped the entire meal. For that, I thank him. I don’t think we’ll be back again. We gave this place lots of chances and it still/​continues to disappoint.

It’s fast Mexican food – average quality. Don’t need to come back. Been there/​done that.

Service sucks at this location !! Sat at the bar and waited a long time for anyone to even acknowledge me. I was seated at a high top for 15 min and no one came so I moved to the bar. Food is typical here and I only came for the daily happy hour. Ridiculous service here in the bar area. Save yourself a trip.

We were seated quickly and politely on a Saturday night! Our food was fresh (and delicious) and surprised us with how FAST! Keep those watermelon margaritas coming!

We love Chevy’s in Brandywine. The food is always delicious and margaritas are refreshing.
We were there for happy hour. The ticket we received from the movie theater was used for a free appetizer of chicken taquitos. They are hot and awesome.
My friend enjoyed his chicken smothered burrito. They permitted him to change the beans for a healthier grilled vegetables.
I always enjoy their vegetable burrito with rice and pinto beans.
The service was fast and the food came out hot. Nothing worse than a room temperature plate of food.
Happy hour house frozen margaritas are $ 3, $ 6 for a grande.

My first time eating here and everything was pretty mediocre. The service kinda sucked, there was a bug in my boyfriends margarita, he also ordered a sprite and the waitress brought out a water, I ordered the chicken fajitas and the chicken was dry, I just wasn’t sold on it.
Overall I would say this is the place to go to if you like happy hour. Their drinks seem okay and their appetizers are okay, too. They had trivia when we were there, which was cool.
Overall I would not return by choice, I would much rather eat at La Tolteca in La Plata.

This restaurant only gets 2 stars because of their awesome food! The first time my husband and I were in there, we had an amazing experience, and after that, we have had terrible service where we are often neglected. *note, I wait tables and understand completely when a restaurant is ‘in the weeds. I’m sometimes too forgiving when I go out.’*
Today, the experience started off bad at the host stand. She passed us several times and didn’t even acknowledge us. Then she finally talks to us, we say we have 2 in our party and she walks away, and we weren’t sure if we were to follow her or not. Very awkward.
We get to the table and it took a while for our server to get to us. We had already decided our drinks, appetizer, and entrees. We would have told her all this at once but she was not using a pen and paper so we didn’t want to give our whole order to someone not writing things down.
She comes back and asks us again what our drinks were, to make sure but it was a Pepsi and a margarita. Not too complicated. And I’m pretty sure she hadn’t put it in til we told her the 2^nd time.
Then, I sat and watched my margarita melt at the service bar. This is not just on our server, but all the others that passed it by and wouldn’t bring it to our table.
Another server dropped off our flautas appetizer (which is AMAZING by the way!!) We were halfway through thay before she came by and said «oh, it DID come out»… not sure why she was surprised by this…
Anyway, we then give her the entrée order, and again, she didn’t write it down! It concerned me, but I wrote it off until she came back about 5 minutes later asking us what our order was! Why does she not write things down??! I’m positive she didn’t put in the order until she asked us the second time!
The order came out correctly and it tasted great but the service was just horrible and she was practically impossible to find! She seemed friendly but she needs to be around more and she DEFINITELY needs to write things down!
I’ll be honest, we’ll probably come back (like I said, the food is great!) but we will make sure we have a lot of time to kill (because it always takes a long time to get the check and then for us to actually PAY them) and we’ll make sure it’s not a special occasion when we want good service.

Walking into Chevys me and my husband were welcomed brightly by the wait-​staff. We were quickly seated in a secluded corner, which was great, and started making our orders. Our waitress seemed super nice at first but after I had to send back my drink twice because it was missing or lacking the salted rim (which she seemed hesitant to take it back for me which was rather frustrating), she began to get what I call «shut up and eat your food» face. Dead pan smile but her eyes screamed «I hate you and this job». I tried to apologize to her for being «that customer» and her reply was «It’s fine, I’m use to it.» Wow. Alright. I may seem bubbly and ignorance-​is-​bliss-​like but I am smart enough to know when you’re being nasty.
Later that night she checked in on us I tried to lighten the mood by making a joke and I swear she offered the fakest smile you have ever seen and that «Get me away from this table I actually hate you» laugh. I didn’t want to feel like a jerk so we left a dollar-​something tip– even in the worst situations I never leave nothing– but I was hesitant to even do that. I just really hate fake people. If you don’t like people you shouldn’t be in food service.
Thank God the food tasted amazing. The Margarita was kinda blah… I feel like because I sent it back for more salt twice they put it IN my drink. It was so salty I couldn’t drink the bottom half and it was served in a HOT glass. Hot-​to-​the-​touch hot.
Regardless, the rest of the evening was nice and it seems like a good place besides the run in with my drink and my waiters frustration with my displeasure in the $ 11.00 drink I was ordering.
Pictures to be posted soon.

This restaurant isn’t even ok.
Short: service was meh, food was ugh, and drinks were worse. Don’t go.
Long: We walk in around noon and there’s no greeter or «seat youself» sign. So we linger and kind of wander around the waiting area. We don’t seat ourselves and mess up any waiter rotations. Another man walks in waits for a second and walks around the whole place and finds no employees and leaves. Wish we did the same.
We got queso dip that was like the bland canned stuff heated up. I’m guessing it’s not typically served with chips because we had to ask for them. Salmon and chicken were really dry. But the salsa and rice were ok. The rum punch was so baaaaaad. It tasted like expired orange juice splashed with rum and topped with a big slice of an old orange. Didn’t drink more than 2 sips. Seriously bad.
What made all this worse was the price. We paid twice as much for food that’s not even half as good at other Mexican American places. Just a really bad chain. The applebees of Mexican food. This is literally the worst Mexican food place I’ve ever been to.
So yeah. 2 stars because I didn’t get food poisoning and the rice was ok.

Sooooo, we seated a li5tle slowly but once we got to our seat our server Eloisa was amazing. She was engaging, funny, and extremely attentive on this busy Saturday night! We always have a great experience when we come here! The food was average but made better becaue. of the service.

The service is hit or miss. I love the chips and salsa but the food is nothing memorable. Fajitas are bland, and same with tacos. Guacamole is good.
I came here for a girls night, it was only 7pm and they said they were «closing early because it was slow.»
However, I had gone there several times before and that was my last straw. No more chevys for me!

I’ve been here several times and I’ve never received service as terrible as last night.
We decided to go because it was $ 3 margarita Wednesday and Chevy’s usually has really good margaritas. But last night it was such a disappointment. The service was terrible, the margaritas were terrible and the food was terrible.
I say the service was terrible because we ordered two margaritas one on the rocks and one frozen when the waiter came to deliver the drinks he bought two On the rocks in a beer glass explaining they were out if margarita glasses. It literally took them thirty minutes to bring a frozen margarita, he explained that the bar was backed up. When the frozen margarita arrived it looked like it had been sitting at the bar melting away for the past twenty minutes and it tasted terrible.

I have many friends who spoke highly of this place. I decided to meet my sister at this particular Chevys on a recent Saturday afternoon. It is located in Brandywine Crossing, a place that I normally pass by while in route to Waldorf. Nevertheless, I found Chevys with no problem and was able to score a parking space near the entrance.
I walked into the restaurant, which was about half full with patrons. We found seats at the bar with no problem. The look and feel of the restaurant was great. I like the tex-​mex themed layout. As soon as I sat down, the bartender introduced himself. The bartender, pretty much by himself, made my initial Chevys experience a great one. I will give high marks to any place that have good and attentive bartenders. As the area around the bar filled with patrons, the bartender kept tabs on us as if no one else was around the bar. He was by far one of the better bartenders that I had the pleasure of dealing with at a chain restaurant of this type.
I ordered the Crispy Chicken Flautas. I never had «flautas» anything before this visit. They are small crispy tortillas that contain chunks of grilled chicken, corn, cheese and peppers. They hit the spot. So much so, I ordered another plate of flautas.
For my main drink, I ordered the Strawberry House Margarita. To say that the margarita was strong is an understatement. Normally at chain restaurants, it has been my experience that alcoholic drinks are very «watered down» and weak. Not at Chevys. I even sampled some of my sister’s margarita. That too, was very strong.
Of course, I left the bartender a very nice tip for my appreciation of his great service.
For now, this spot is my new favorite tex-​mex place. I like it much better than another tex-​mex spot that I go to from time to time, Lauriol Plaza in the city. I know some will think I bumped my head for typing that. However, I make that claim base on my personal experience. My initial experience at Chevys was just that great.
