A handful of vegan options, nice vibe, decent drinks.
I loved the special guac flavors as a big guac fan but would’ve appreciated more options for vegans.
Basically one taco entree you could get that tasted decent but wasn’t mind blowing.
Got drink pitchers as well and those were great

Great food, decent service, phenomenal atmosphere - would definitely go back! Glad we had reservations as there was a long wait when we walked in.
The decorations vibe and atmosphere are amazing.
Loved the spinning motorcycle around the bar, the unique photo decorated wall and the hard to miss orange booths! We have been to one of their other locations and got the same feeling which is what I was hoping for. The nachos were good, the guacamole was fresh and the salsas were tangy, fresh and flavorful! The black bean quesadillas were okay but the smoky flavor was a bit too much for me. The food came out quick and the portions are very generous.
The only callout was having to flag down our waiter a few times to get silverware for our meal, place additional orders and at the end to get a check.
Totally understandable as the restaurant was full but she just seemed a bit overwhelmed.
The restaurant is spacious but can get very loud when it fills up. Overall the service was okay, the food was above average, vibe was a 10/10.
Would recommend for a good bang for your buck with the food portions.

Owner response

We seriously have the best guests out there! Thank you so much for the shout out, Punam.
We greatly appreciate the 5 stars and look forward to seeing you again!

Have been to El Vez many times.
Food is always very good.
Atmosphere / Decor / Vibe still very cool despite being same for 20 years now.
Bathrooms / bathroom wash area could use a refresh.
This time we sat at a table.
Server (Cristal) was great but bartenders were very slow filling drink orders.
Had to ask about our drinks 3 times.
Guacamole app and the Tortilla soup were excellent as always.
Snapper Veracruzana was also very good.
Cheese burger was good and cooked exactly as requested.
Fries that came with cheese burger were some of the best I ever had.
Always a good time!
