My mom was over today and the three of us needed a lift in the afternoon so we headed to Chevy’s in Emeryville (1800 Powell Street)  It’s a nice place on the water with an after-work margarita and beer vibe and the whole Mexican theme going on.  Chevy’s is a small chain with decent food.  They pride themselves on their “no cans” policy, but I’ve never had the nerve to ask about jars.  I always get the tortilla soup, chock full of chicken, corm, tortilla strips  and fresh avocado in a rich chicken-based broth.  Since Chevy’s keeps the warm nachos and salsa flowing, you can make a meal out of this soup by crumbling additional nachos into it as you go.
