Chevys Fresh Mex - Ellisville, MO


We went to one of the best Mexican restaurants ever: Chevys. The bathroom looks very Mexican, but lets see if it's good at doing its job.

Features
  • Toilet seat covers
  • Automatic toilets
  • Coat hanger
  • 2 stalls, 2 urinals
  • 2 automatic sinks, 2 automatic soap dispensers, 2 automatic paper towel dispensers.
  • Light switch
  • 2 trash cans
  • Baby change station
  • One stall had 2 locks (seems one was broken.)
Cleanliness
  • Wet floor in many spots
Atmosphere/Decor
  • As I said before, one stall had two locks. The working lock was on a piece of wood, making it stand out am0ng the rest of the bathroom.
  • Very Mexican feel.
  • Rusty, ridged metal stall door
  • Grey tile floor
  • White tile wall with blue, red, maroon, green, and yellow checkers all spread randomly across the wall in no particular pattern.
  • Big map of Mexico on the ceiling.
  • Small overhang over sinks with fake leaves strewn about it.
  • Bad speakers. They seems to start and stop working whenever they felt like it.
  • One of the paper towel dispensers were by the stall, which made it kind of uncomfortable for both the person using the stall and the person using the paper towel dispenser.
Music
Seemed to be no particular genre. At first, I heard a Mexican song, but then I heard Slow Ride, followed by Move Along.

Features
  • 2 stalls, 8 Urinals
  • 3 sinks, 2 foam soaps, 1 trash can
  • Germ-X

Cleanliness
  • Smelled bad
  • The floor was concrete, so it was bound to be a little dirty
Atmosphere/Decor
  • There were at least 10 ads. I didn't count, but I was pretty sure there was at least 10.
  • White cinder block wall
  • Concrete floor
  • Blue stalls (What's that doing in a Cardinals Stadium?)
Music
None.

  • Air freshener
