Product Description
Product Description
When Chevys-everybody's favorite Mexican restaurant-first opened in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1986, they pledged that everything would be made fresh from scratch every single day. True to their word, Chevys and Rio Bravo (its cousin in the southwest and southeast) make their salsa hourly from blackened tomatoes and serve their tortillas piping hot less than three minutes after they are made. Now for the first time, Chevys' classic recipes are made available for the home. In this flashy, full-color Fresh Mex primer, you'll learn how to make fabulous fajitas, smoky salsas, tasty tacos, and more, and serve them up with the same festive flair that is the hallmark of the Chevys.

Next best thing to Chevy's when you are abroad,
By A.Bee "Fairy Queen of Rainclouds" (Not sure) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Chevys and Rio Bravo Fresh Mex Cookbook (Hardcover)
Living abroad I miss home food at times, to the point that I get excited when
novely shops stock Lucky charms...even if I don't really like them (I hadn't realized I was so obsessed). Anyway, true to the fresh mex wave of cooking in California. If you are in need of some corn tomatillo, here is the book for you.

Chevy's Secrets -- Revealed!,
By J. Johnston-Tyler - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Chevys and Rio Bravo Fresh Mex Cookbook (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my son's second grade teacher, and came here today to buy myself a copy I liked it so much!As a former chef, I look for well-written instructions as well as creative dishes in a cookbook, and this book has both in spades. It has many "basics" such as their salsas, ranchero, and chipotle sauces which are then used in combinations to create other dishes. The book also has simple charts that help novices to this cuisine create their own masterpieces by "mixing and matching" ingredients. There are many classic recipes for enchiladas as well as edgier dishes such as grilled pineapple salsa and seared ahi salad. YUM! For party-givers, there are plenty of novel ideas of how to host a Cinco de Mayo party, complete with their Taquini and appetizer recipes, as well as decoration ideas. Plus, the book does generously give away Chevy's trade secrets, such as the secret ingredient in their carnitas (you'll be surprised!) and is written with a sense of humor which makes reading fun but not forced. Finally, the book is visually stunning -- excellent layout and typography make this an ideal book for a gift -- or for yourself, like I'm about to do! 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful:

Absolutely delicious.....and THEN SOME!!,
By M. Jolley "Freakin' Gypsy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Chevys and Rio Bravo Fresh Mex Cookbook (Hardcover)
I recently moved from my home state of California, where authentic Panaderias were just a hop, skip, and a jump away. When I moved to Nebraska, the Mexican food was and still is absoultely tasteless, greasy, and horrible. I purchased this book a few weeks ago, basing my judgement on all the many times I have eaten at Chevy's back home. I have been searching for a good Pico de Gallo recipe for about 2 years and found one in this recipe book. It only took me about 10 minutes to make and when I dipped my tortilla chip into this chunky salsa, I literally fell on the floor and could not believe how good it was!! (I ate the whole batch in about 30 minutes) Also, I could not believe that I made this! Mexican cooking has always been intimidating to me, because of all of the time, patience, and effort that goes into preparing authentic mexican dishes. This cook book is colorful, filled with delicious recipes, beautiful photos, and helpful tips and tricks that make cooking Mexican, from scratch no less, easier that I thought could be done!! Also, there aren't many Mexican specialty grocery stores in Nebraska and I have found all of the ingredients listed in the recipes in the Hispanic Foods isle at my grocery store. If you love fresh Mexican food, made from fresh ingredients, GET THIS BOOK!! 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful:

Highly recommended!,
By tanaya hale - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Chevys and Rio Bravo Fresh Mex Cookbook (Hardcover)
As a LOVER of Chevy's restaraunt food...I HAD to have this book when it came out! It has all ready earned its keep on my cookbook shelf. I was so pleased to see all my Chevys favorites from the salsa, to their Margaritas. I have used this book on at least a dozen occasions in the past two months...that is a big workout for a cookbook in my house! You will be pleased with the layout as well as the step by step instructions. Alot of the the recipes are time consuming but well worth it. They even give their secret to having a fluffy masa in your tamales. Just because I have this book does not mean I won't be visiting my favorite restaraunt, but it does mean that if I have that fresh salsa and chip craving at midnight I can take care of it myself. :) Big thumbs up!
