One of my favorite locations for delicious mexican food. I love visiting here. The staff was friendly and sociable. The bill won't shock you.

Get a reservation & enjoy the best Mexican!! The blood orange margarita is worth going back for itself. Amazing flavors!

They get five stars just because their margaritas are so amazing! Their food is really good too. It’s gets really busy in the evening. But worth the wait. Definitely recommend this place.

Menu very limited. Food wasn't as good as I expected. The bean and cheese enchilada barely had cheese. It was a tortilla with just beans in it. I mentioned this to the waiter who offered to refund which was great :) customer service was good.

I was in Philadelphia for professional reasons. My friend flew all the way from London to come join me but only really because of El Vez. The food was absolutely delicious and suddenly my friend didn’t seem that crazy. Arguably one of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to. Needless to say we came more than once. The nachos were absolutely delicious and a must have. The interior is well decorated and staff are very friendly. Highly recommend

Definitely an experience. The guacamole is amazing and so is the taco sampler. Get there early and try to find a seat at the bar. The wait is usually long but so worth it.

Trendy Mexican restaurant with hip decor. You can’t go wrong with their margaritas. The round booths are great for group seating.

Was my first time in Philly, loving Mexican food this place was in walking distance from my hotel. First off they were slammed on a Thursday night, great sign. Sat at the bar because it was just me. Ordered the house margarita which was probably the beat "house margarita" I have ever had so order it! I had the chicken tacos for dinner and the chicken had amazing flavor, regretting not getting the sampler so that I could try other proteins but the chicken tacos did not disappoint! Ordered a side of black beans and rice and again they did not disappoint. They make their rice like I do, seems that they put cilantro in the rice as well which is the way to go. Beans were fresh too, did not have that flavor of tin that you get from canned beans. I will be back the next time I am in town, go check it out.

Had a excellent experience in this place with my son. The food comes out rapidly and the service is just fantastic. Prices are convenient.

Excellent guacamole with goat cheese and pepper flakes. Taco sampler is delicious. Who doesn't like pitchers of margaritas.

Its a nice place where you can look for good food and good service. We were served by “Remy” today. He helped us with good vegetarian options and with drinks recommendations as well. Remy will go long way as he is very good at what he is doing. Food tasted too good and we believe it was priced were fairly as compared to its quantity. I believe drinks were more pricey but I am will to ignore it for the food and services they offer.
