When Chevys 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 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.

Summary: Great Pico de Gallo and Guacamole recipes
Comment: I bought this cookbook at a Rio Bravo restaurant about 6 years ago. The only recipes I use often are the pico de gallo and guacamole, although the rest of the book looks scrumptious. The pico and guac recipes (you need the pico to make the guac) are superb. I make them often at family gatherings and parties and get rave reviews. That said, neither recipe tastes anything like the versions served at Rio Bravo or Chevys. Really, the book's recipes are better - they are fresher and have more flavor.

Summary: Belongs in every "Mexican" cooking kitchen!
Comment: As a fan of Chevy's Fresh Mex restaurants, I was surprised to see they'd give away their secret recipes to the public. But it probably increased patronage of the restaurants. A smart move. A great little cookbook. To me, worth it for just three recipes alone -- the "master sauce" Chipotle Puree (that I always make with canned chipotles in adobo, by the way, not dried chilies), the Sweet Chipotle dressing, and the fish tacos. I always keep a jar of that chipotle puree in my frig. Just a tablespoon seasons so many recipes and it keeps for weeks. As expected for most restaurant cookbooks, many recipes are not simple, but require other recipes as "ingredients". The fish tacos is one, but is well worth the effort. As a local cooking teacher where I live, I've taught several classes based on the recipes in this book -- all to raves!

Summary: Good recipes - nice glossy pages. . . different cover than pictured
Comment: My only complaint with this book has more to do with amazon than this book. The book I received was an earlier edition, not the updated version as shown in the pictures. The recipes are wonderful with beautiful pictures and explanations. It also gives unique ideas for hosting your own Mexican theme celebration.
