A must go to restaurant when you’re in Philly!! The atmosphere is so lively and fun and the service is great! The food and drinks are amazing, and I highly recommend any of the guacs & the frozen blood orange margarita! The frozen blood margarita is amazing and one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Finally, I would definitely make a reservation as it is a popular place. Cheers!

You seriously can never go wrong with El Vez, one of the best Mexican restaurants ANYWHERE. Service is on point, food is delicious and the drinks are always spot on. I got the steak tacos and they were cooked perfectly.

If your in downtown center city near Rittenhouse square, or near Independence Hall and want to grab tacos in a decently sized place - here’s your place!

Atmosphere was great, fun, welcoming, and the decor was quite interesting frenetic Latin.

Good for brunch
Good for dinner

If you want a great non alcoholic drink - trust me ask for the Fresh Limeade- Mint, Agave Nectar (similar to a mojito but with better flavor)

If you have some time to sit down for a good dinner with a fun vibe, this is the place! From the moment you walk in, the environment is high energy, the music is fun, and the staff are just as energetic.

Give yourself some time as this restaurant is usually busy.

The Pink Cadillac Margarita is delicious

Had an great experience at El Vez! The colorful and flashy setting added a fun vibe to our evening. The drinks were top-notch, and the food was simply delicious. From the first sip to the last bite, everything was a delight. I'll definitely be returning for more upscale Mexican eats and cocktails! Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere with lots of fun options. We came for dinner and tried a little of everything. The drinks were delicious. I had a mango passion, fruit margarita..delicious! We left stuffed and happy. Parking is available at the corner or on the street.

This place gets one of my rare five-star reviews. I loved everything about this place. The server we had was fantastic. The atmosphere of the restaurant was super hip and fun with lots of artistic touches. Their menu was quite decent size with a great selection of options. My whole group loved our food. I would definitely return if I lived in the area!

Skip the chips and go straight for the main course. The most disappointing part of my meal was the guacamole and chips. The guacamole felt like something out of a bag and so did the chips. I was worried about how good this mean would be. But then I got my tacos and I will say the tacos were amazing. The drinks are good not sure if I would go there just for them but the combination of tacos and drinks is outstanding. The service is slow, but I would say that might be due to how busy the place is.
