Welcome to The Chuck Wagon

At The Chuck Wagon, we’re proud to continue the tradition of being a beloved staple in Fairview Heights. Under new ownership, we remain committed to serving the area’s best Tex-Mex and classic American comfort food — just like you remember.


From our signature tacos and enchiladas to our crowd-favorite daily specials, every dish is still crafted with the same care, flavor, and tradition you’ve come to expect. Whether you’re a longtime fan or visiting for the first time, we’re here to make you feel right at home.

While the menu has stayed mostly the same over the years, every now and then we get the itch to “spice things up” with a new addition. Still, it’s no easy task convincing our regulars—most know exactly what they’re ordering before they even pass the holly trees out front.


Whether you’ve been dining with us for decades or you’re stopping by for the first time, our goal is simple: serve up great food, fast, and at a fair price. Because at The Chuck Wagon, we’re not just feeding customers—we’re welcoming you into the family.

At The Chuck Wagon, we specialize in bold, satisfying Tex-Mex favorites made fresh every day. From sizzling tacos and cheesy enchiladas to hearty plates of rice and beans, our menu is packed with the flavors you crave.


Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a full meal, you'll find generous portions, homestyle taste, and plenty of options to keep you coming back. Come hungry—leave happy.
