Founded in 1986 in Alameda, California, Chevys is an ultra-casual restaurant concept that offers guests an array of freshly prepared Mexican dishes prepared from scratch using only the freshest ingredients served in a relaxing atmosphere. With a store base of 68 Company-owned and 34 franchised restaurants, Chevys is a national brand spanning 15 states. With twenty years of successful operations, Chevys is the most widely recognized Mexican casual dining brand in Northern California with 90% awareness. Designed to offer a fiesta for the senses, where every experience is fresh, fun and full of flavor, the concept is focused on the execution of its trend-setting Fresh Mex® menu and continuous innovation. Chevys uses a "Fresh Mex®" pledge which underscores the Company’s promise that all products are made daily from scratch.

Chevys restaurants resemble a Mexican border town café or cantina with a vibrant contemporary décor. The concept’s menu offers an extensive variety of Mexican dishes, including traditional enchiladas, burritos and tacos, as well as a variety of combination platters. In addition to more traditional Mexican fare, the menu offers innovative items, including the mesquite grilled skirt steak, fresh fish and shrimp tacos. Chevys also offers a variety of salads and desserts. The theme of every Chevys dish is freshness, a characteristic underscored by the concept’s signature, house tortilla maker, known as "El Machino®". El Machino® also helps create a fun atmosphere for everyone, including families with children, and enhances the concepts broad appeal. Built on a platform of fresh – fresh ingredients, fresh preparation, fresh ideas and fresh personality – Chevys prepares dishes daily from scratch. This commitment to freshness translates into Chevys signature "Seasonal Fresh Fruit" margaritas which change with the seasons. Chevys offers a wide selection of margaritas and an assortment of Mexican and American beers that guests can enjoy either during a meal or at the in-restaurant bar.
