“Chevys brings fresh flavors all year round, but we’re known for our warm, homemade tortillas and terrific tacos,” said Paul Martin, vice president of operations at Chevys Fresh Mex. “This year on National Taco Day, our fans will have the opportunity to get their taco on and even win free tacos for a year!”

Chevys will begin offering new seasonal menu items on Oct. 8. Bold fresh flavors include Shrimp Taquitos served with chipotle aioli and jalapeño jelly, Crispy Lemon Shrimp Tacos wrapped in garlic herb tortillas and a sizzling Mexicampi Shrimp Combo topped with salsa al mojo de ajo.
