The food, service and atmosphere all get 5 stars. The food is always consistent, flavorful and just incredible. So many amazing dishes to choose from and you cant beat the prices. I have become a regular here and the food never disappoints.
Everything was absolutely excellent! Truly great ceviche and aguachile, comparable to what I’ve only experienced in Mexico. Our little one had a small portion of mac and cheese, and even that was outstanding. You can really tell that the food here is cooked with honesty and care. Prices are more than fair, and the service is great as well. We will definitely be back. Thank you and keep up the fantastic work🙌
El Cheyo: A Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Fort Myers If you're on the hunt for truly authentic Mexican cuisine in Fort Myers, look no further than El Cheyo. Nestled off the beaten path, this restaurant is a delightful find that promises a memorable dining experience. I had the pleasure of trying the corn fish tacos, and they were nothing short of amazing! The combination of grilled and raw onions, alongside fresh cilantro, created a vibrant flavor profile that perfectly complemented the crispy fish. The tacos were topped with a creamy chipotle ranch that added just the right kick. The chips and guacamole were incredibly fresh and creamy, bursting with the flavors of lime, tomatoes, and onions, with a hint of heat that kept it interesting. It's hard to resist snacking on the chips while waiting for the main course! For my main dish, I enjoyed the carnitas, which were perfectly cooked and flavorful, complemented by pico de gallo, creamy avocado, and warm tortillas. The lime coleslaw added a refreshing crunch that tied the dish together beautifully. To wash it all down, I paired my meal with a homemade red beer Michelada. This delicious Mexican beer cocktail, featuring tomato juice, lime, and an array of spices, was the perfect accompaniment to such a flavorful meal. What truly sets El Cheyo apart is the talent of its owner and chef. The dishes not only tasted incredible but were also presented beautifully, reflecting the passion and skill that goes into each plate. You could say his culinary artistry is rivaled only by the beauty of his wife! Overall, El Cheyo scores a solid 10/10 in my book. This restaurant is a must-visit for both locals and visitors seeking authentic Mexican flavors. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings!
