    This was my first time visiting this Chevy's to redeem my birthday meal. I loved that it was scenic and on the river. I ended up getting one of the custom entrees that allowed you to choose a taco, enchilada etc The service seemed a bit slow, even though there were seemingly available seats. We were waiting over 30 minutes to be seated on a Monday. They also didn't bring out their usual dessert/singing either. So while the ambiance was nice, the service could be stepped up a bit more.

    This restaurant could greatly benefit from the services of a gigantic power washer. The cutlery and glasses were dirty and stained. The menus were grimy, and at least two were stuck together with salsa. The whole building, including restrooms, seemed old, grimy, and tired. The food was meh, especially for the price. Actually, not even meh. Service was OK. We had a large party, so I guess it is expected that one person would not get their drink or their food when all the others did. The 20% gratuity is normal for large parties, but why was there an additional service charge? The food on my and my friend's plates had the skin of age on top. His tamale tasted frozen. My (cold) enchiladas were tasteless. The tostadas looked as if they had been sitting out too long. The photo shows the actual slice of lime with which the bar staff topped my pina colada this evening. No Mas, Chevy's. We will no longer drive our Chevy to the levee to consume your meals.

    First of all, wow. The location could not be better. It's very unique in that it almost has a Louisiana bayou/ Xochimilco vibe going on. The river views are absolutely fantastic and could not be in a better place. The only downside is that the parking lot is small and cramped but you should be able to find a spot. Angelita gave amazing service. Her friendliness was so memorable I made sure to get her name. Our food came out rather quickly for a party of our size. The flavor of Chevy's is as close to authentic as you can get. It's a chain so the difference in flavors is going to be minimal. Overall, expect to walk out of here for about $25 a person and you should be good. The views are some of the best I have seen in Sac. Bottom line/TLDR: Angelita was a life saver

    Just say no. Seriously! For those that read my reviews, you know I'm not a fan of most chain restaurants, we decided to give Chevys a chance. I haven't been to this restaurant or location in years, so this is definitely the perfect opportunity I called ahead to see if they were busy, and to ensure that we would be able to be seated inside because it's still pretty cold in Sacramento. We were greeted by a confused host, who seated us at a dirty table. Before we actually sat down, we asked if we could have the table cleaned or be seated elsewhere. He ended up moving us to another table that was clean, but questionable. I'd asked about happy hour because it looks like this is one of the few places that has an extended happy hour menu which is always exciting for me We decided to forgo happy hour and just order our meals. They brought chips and salsa to the table. The salsa was incredibly bitter and watery and words cannot describe how bad it really was. The chips were stale, so it made for great combo ( insert major sarcasm) We had to ask for cutlery and napkins because none were placed on the table, as well as asking for water for the same reason. So far, Customer Service has been mediocre. We ordered the "steak "and the large three enchilada platter I will preface this by saying I'm not sure which one was worse. The steak: this has to be without a doubt, the worst piece of me that I've ever seen served at a restaurant. I don't even know what kind of beef this possibly could have been, but definitely was not one that should've been served. Don't let the looks for you. There is no seasoning on it, it tasted like shoe leather, and it made me seriously sad to have to try to eat it. The black beans tasted like someone opened a can and threw them on the plate. Just gross. I always look at rice as one of those indestructible foods. How does anybody really ruin rice?!? Well if you want to find out, this is a place to find out at. The enchiladas: it came with a chili relleno. I was really looking forward to trying this. Like Rice, how does anybody really mess this up. It's supposed to be cheesy and yummy and it was none of that. The actual chili that was used was still hard, I don't know what kind of batter they used, but this was like a floofy egg. It was thick, mushy, and just gross. There wasn't much cheese, and what was stuffed into the chili. I don't even know what that was. Yes, there's cheese or something that was very plastic. He tasting on top. But that's where it was on top. The enchiladas... I don't even know where to begin with us. They were completely inedible. The meat was absolutely horrible. The chicken, I don't even know what to say about it, because the sauce is over the enchiladas tasted like burnt tin. Are the pictures pretty of the food? Sure. But I'm telling you there's horrible things happening on these plates. Same rice and same beans and same bad experience. Overall, this is definitely been one of the worst meals that I've had at what should be a reputable restaurant. The one thing about chain restaurants, is that they're supposed to be consistency. If that's the case, I'm telling you right now, avoid this restaurant! This was over $60 experience gone wrong.

    What A Beautiful Way To End My Work Day. Peaceful, Serene & Awesome Customer Service !!! Chevy's On The River Is Truly My Hangout.

    All good until food arrived. Sizzling hot fajitas tastes better when you don't have to wait more than ten minutes for plates and tortillas! Food ended up cold and dry. The server offered to reheat the food which really annoyed me. She did re enter the order as we refused to eat re heated food. Wait for new food to exceeded 15 minutes. Portion sizes have really become smaller and the food quality does not taste fresh. Not a good experience.

    This was my first time trying Sunday brunch at Chevy's on the River and I absolutely loved it! My sister and friends brought me to celebrate my birthday and it was such a great experience. We waited about 10 minutes for an outdoor table, but it was way too hot, so we asked to sit inside. They kindly put us back on the list, and after another 10 minutes we were seated around 1:45pm just in time to enjoy the all-you-can-eat buffet before brunch ended at 2pm. It was packed, with people waiting and enjoying themselves everywhere; inside, outside, even at the bar. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you plan to go! The food was fantastic. I had a made-to-order omelet from the omelet station and it was the cook's first day, but he nailed it! Delicious. I also tried the shrimp tacos from the taco bar, which were amazing. There were plenty of options, from Mexican favorites like enchiladas to desserts and more. For about $40 per person, it was well worth it. Our server was funny, attentive, and really made sure we were taken care of. The view of the river added a beautiful backdrop to our celebration. Perfect spot for families, celebrations, or just a great brunch outing. I'll definitely be back!

    Wife's super Cinco. A lot of food.

    It's been a minute since I've been here. This place has cool vibes because it's on the river. So you get a meal with a view. Bringing my family here is a different experience than coming with my co-workers and friends. We came for a late lunch or rather an early dinner. The day was hot for a late summer day almost at the end of this Indian summer (i.e. hot late in the season) so we opted to sit inside when usually we'd sit outside and enjoy looking at the river while we eat, but it was entirely too hot this day. We ordered a Super Cinco for my wife, and I had the beef birria tacos off the HH menu. We also ordered the Spicy BBQ quesadilla from the HH menu and the fajita from the kids menu. My beef birria tacos. The meat was really good and the fried soft taco shells were so scrumptious. Overall, service was pretty fast and the food was good. We've not been here in many years or in any Chevys in quite awhile so it's good to know their fresh mex food is still solid. Kind of pricey unless eating off the HH menu which was good value.

    Little Lucie was with us for happy hour so we walked around the side to the outdoor seating area. There was a open door with a staff station there where I asked the male manager if we could be seated. He looked at us and said we have to enter through the front door to be seated. The front door and host station was about 20 feet in clear view from where we standing. His directions didn't make any sense so I asked again and he repeated himself. Okay so I guess he thought the hostess couldn't grab some menus and just walk to us in the empty restaurant? Fortunately the hostess was smarter than the manager. She saw us and came over to seat us. Unfortunately we were told you have to sit inside for happy hour and they would not make an exception because Lucie wasn't allowed inside. Well what garbage management in a 95% empty restaurant. Our hostess and server were nice though. Needless to say we left.

    Not so medium rare steak

    We decided to take the family out to Chevy's on the River because my sister was in town, and as parents of young kids, we don't get out much. It was a beautiful evening with perfect weather by the river so we figured this would be a nice treat. Unfortunately, the nightmare began the moment we walked through the door. I had called earlier in the afternoon to make a reservation for 5:45 PM. We showed up on time, around 5:40, and I let the hostess know we had arrived. She said, "It'll be just a few minutes," then immediately changed it to "about 10 or 15 minutes." No problem, we waited outside. After 15 minutes passed, I went back in to check. She said it would be another 5 minutes and asked if we needed a kids' menu. I said yes, we have a toddler. She said she'd bring one. Another 15 minutes go by, still nothing. I go back in, and finally, after a 35-minute wait with a reservation, we're seated. What's the point of making a reservation if you're going to wait that long anyway? It gets worse. We were finally seated outside by the water, great setting, nice breeze. Our server introduced herself and brought chips and salsa. We all just ordered waters. (We never got a single refill, by the way, the entire night.) We were ready to order quickly, but she didn't come back for another 10 to 15 minutes. We placed our food orders: I ordered the combo with steak, chicken, carnitas, shrimp, and veggies. My wife got chicken tacos, refried beans, and Spanish rice. My sister ordered chicken flautas. My son got pizza and fries. It took about 30 minutes for the food to come out, and then unbelievably, our son's food didn't come out for another 20 minutes after that. We all sat there awkwardly, refusing to eat while our 3.5-year-old watched us. By the time we finally all had food in front of us, everything was cold. His pizza looked unappetizing, and my steak, ordered medium rare, was cooked almost well done. Our server was trying her best, but they were clearly severely understaffed. She kept saying things were "coming right out," but they weren't. Eventually, a cook, not the server, brought out the pizza and said, "Talk to your server, I didn't even know you guys ordered a pizza." I said wow. The manager finally came over, apologized, comped our meal, and offered dessert, but by then the experience was ruined. We just wanted to leave. The worst part? I've actually had decent experiences here before. But after tonight, I won't be coming back. Unless this location goes through a serious overhaul, I don't see it surviving much longer. If you're thinking of dining here, think twice.

    You're wondering why I would give a Chevy's 5 star as the food is consistently the same. The views, the service and overall vibes... Company may also be a contributor. The Chevy's near our place in San Jose closed a few years back and I miss their fajita combo platter and was so happy to come visit friends and family in Sacramento and get what I've missed at a waterfront setting. Will admit they seemed a little understaffed, but appreciated that the staff were hustling to meet everybody's needs with a smile. In my opinion the service, food and views earned it a five star. Please understand I am not comparing it to higher end restaurants but taking it for what it is.

    I had a super mediocre experience eating at this restaurant - the service was also not very impressive. The best part of my meal was the corn bake type thing that came on the side with my fajitas and the salsa that they gave as an appetizer :/ which is an unfortunate indicator of how good everything was. I'm not planning a return trip in the near future

You're greeted with a fun atmosphere, friendly staff, and an energy that makes you excited to be there. Since the restaurant was especially busy, we chose to sit at the bar. There was no wait, and the high-top seating was surprisingly comfortable. Our server was welcoming and attentive, and the service was fast from start to finish. Between the great music and lively atmosphere, you can't help but want to dance while you eat! I ordered one of my favorites--the chicken sope. It was perfectly crispy on the outside while still soft and fluffy on the inside. The chicken was packed with flavor, and the rice and beans were just as delicious. The salsa that came with it was the perfect finishing touch, adding just the right amount of spice and an extra kick of flavor. My hubby ordered one of the carne asada dishes (so sorry, I forgot the name!). He said it was one of the best cuts of meat he's had at a Mexican restaurant in a long time--super tender, juicy, and full of flavor. We had such a fun night!

I didn't read or listen carefully enough that the skirt steak with sauteed onions and bell peppers are covered in Spanish sauce. The sauce is actually quite tasty with a little kick. I used it and the salsa to flavor the black beans. However, I really just wanted grilled steak. I should have ordered steak fajitas, a grilled steak burrito or quesadilla, or a carne asada plate. The Steak a la Chicana was a generous portion, which is definitely 2 meals for me. Cilantro rice wasn't anything special. The SWEET CORN TAMALITO is yummy comfort. Choice of beans: refried beans, black beans, or pinto beans. I suspect refried beans is the tastiest option. El Tapatio would be a great gathering place for friends and family. It's located on Sunrise Blvd in Citrus Heights near See's Candies and other restaurants.

I visited this past Saturday and it was quite busy inside like it always is. The restaurant is large enough to fit a lot of people, so finding a seat isn't an issue. To order, you line up in front of the register and wait until they call you. Once it was my turn, I ordered a Super Burrito with Al Pastor, which is my favorite protein choice there. Usually I order 2 tacos with my burrito but I was saving room for Korean bbq that day! The Super Burrito comes with your choice of meat, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. I also ordered a medium pineapple agua fresca, which paired perfectly with my burrito. After ordering, you're handed a number to take to your table so the servers know where to bring your food. As I'm waiting for my food, I helped myself to the self-serve chip bar. The chip bar is my favorite thing about the restaurant besides the food and quick service. I always get loads of both the white and red pickled onions, and some salsa to go with my chips. They offer many sides to choose from so that anyone can customize their meal to their liking. The pickled onions have the perfect level spice and acidity to them which helps with cutting down the greasiness you may get from a burrito. I also like to snack on them for fun too! The food comes out extremely quickly. When I finished placing my order and brought my number to my table, I went to the self-serve bar right after to get some chips. Not even 2-3 minutes later, I came back to my table with my burrito already there! The burrito was absolutely delicious and piping hot. It's the perfect size for me and eating it with the pineapple agua fresca and some chips makes it a perfect meal! Coming to La Favorita Taqueria is always a treat and I appreciate the quick customer service, self-serve bar, and delicious food!

And I said to him, are your related to people that own the place ? he said my parents own this place. He was very friendly and polite. He told me a tiny bit about the restaurant and how everything had been since 1970, much older than he was, he was only a sophomore in high school I think. I never really got his name, but I was kind of proud of him because he was working hard at his family's restaurant. I ordered probably something bigger than I could eat because I had to take leftovers home, but it was really a tasty meal, and they're coming out with more chips and salsa without being asked, probably didn't help as well as a second lemonade. It's really impressive when you have a well oiled machine and it appeared to me that the people that worked there seem to be happy so that's always a good sign of good management. Several years back, I worked in the restaurant industry doing maintenance and repairs so I went to a lot of different restaurants and saw a lot of things so I know what to look for. I'm definitely gonna come back when my brother and his wife come up from the Bay Area my friend Ivan he'll wanna go there for lunch or dinner I know. He's kind of a picky eater and was born in Mexico, but I think he'll be impressed with this place.

    Our friends took us to this Mexican restaurant as we have never been here. While service was top…read morenotch the food was less than impressive. I got the 2 item plate and chose verde enchilada and the verde chimichanga. It came with rice and beans but I asked for no beans. The pork was tender but was not spicy at all as the menu stated the pork verde would be spicy. The chimichanga was super cheesy. My friend ordered the steak ranchero dish and did not like it very much. It looked more like a stew. The ranchero sauce looked to be very watery.

    Came here for a 2nd time for brunch with my Mother in Law right at open. We were first here at 11,…read moregreated to beautiful music and it wasnt crowded at all so we were seated promptly. They have a brunch menu but we both ended up ordering from the main menu. She had Camarones de Borrachos and I had La Torta Gorda Carnitas. Both were extremely flavorful. The Camarones was a new recipe apparently. More chipotle flavored with a slight kick. From the looks the shrimp were very plump. My Torta was great. Bread was nice and butter and the carnitas were magnificent as advertised by our friendly waiter, Dustin. I also had a Horchatalada which was a sweet way to wash down this heavy food. Great experience and i cant wait to come back and try something else.

    The food at Polanco Cantina is genuinely solid, which makes the rest of the experience more…read morefrustrating. One of our entrees came out late, and another came out wrong. Our server was clearly stretched thin and even mentioned needing to close out other tables. He stopped by once to offer a refill, but it never came. I understand busy nights happen, especially near Golden 1 Center, but the pacing and attention made us feel more like a transaction than a guest. If you're grabbing a quick bite before an event, the food will do the job. If you're looking for a relaxed, unhurried dinner, I'd look elsewhere.
