Chevys Fresh Mex

I seldom go to chain restaurants because, let's face it, chain restaurants are seldom good. But a friend wanted to go, so I obliged. I ordered a enchilada/tamale combo. The price was 10.99, pretty expensive for what I got. When it arrived, the entree was smothered  with a less than appetizing brown sauce. When I took a bite, I thought "oh crap." It was as salty as it looked. There was no nuance of flavor at all but salt. The dish came with a small portion of rice, beans, and a very tiny scoop of sweet corn stuff. There was no green at all, which really made the dish even less appetizing.

The service was so so. Jaime was courteous and friendly (especially when he was kissing butt for a tip), but he was inattentive. We had to look for him many times for service.

Bottom line....bad overly salty food, portions are small, price is rather high, service not so great.

The food and drinks were very good but they made a mistake on the bill that made me very suspicious.  
Margaritas and food together with friends is an invitation for fun and laughter - well we did all nite long.  The shrimp ceviche was awesome, the guacamole made to order was good, the salsa on the table was above average, the prices within reach and affordable.
The service was hit and miss all nite, things coming out of the kitchen were slow, and when the bill came it had mistakes all over it.  Beware of your tab and pay attention to what is being charged.

Okay, we all know the food at Chevy's is consistently good.  I mean, it's tex mex and we love that stuff.  Margaritas are also good.  But the reason I am writing this review is because of one person at this particular Chevy's who is the most welcoming, friendly and funny hostess they have ever had. (I've been going there for at least 10 years)  I didn't get her name but I will get it next time.  You will know her when you see her.  She has the most genuine smile and natural air about her.  I haven't felt that welcome to a restaurant in many, many years.  She connects with the incoming customers immediately, always smiling with eyes sparkling.  She is a definite people person.

The manager (god, I am bad with names) is very friendly.  My room mate had been looking for a job for years and had no luck.  We would talk about this to her each time we visited.  Well, he got a job and the manager did a very sweet thing that I've never seen anyone else do.  She gave him his dinner on the house as a sort of congratulations!  

Great people at this Chevy's.  All of Elk Grove knows about it.
