We had a great lunch which included pork chile verde, avocado tacos, chicken enchiladas and taco salad with chicken. Everything was delicious and good size portions. The salad was not disappointing. It had a great presentation and a good portion of chicken. It was certainly enough for lunch. Amanda was the best! She’s a great server with a lot of personality and very attentive to our needs!! We’ll be returning for sure

Chevy's Fresh Mex Restaurant on Douglas Blvd., Roseville: The chips and salsa are flavorful. The chicken flautas are our favorite appetizers and we often have them for the entrees, although everything we have had is good. Sophie was a wonderful help as as our server, as well as the manager and other staff. It is noisy and energetic when the restaurant has many customers and the front door allows too much cold air to come in. Sitting away from the front door would be my recommendation.

Overall everything was great except the women’s restroom was a mess. Garbage can was full and a few stalls were out of TP. Never seen it like that.
