Had a great weekday happy hour dinner here. Portions were on the smaller side, but the prices were great, so easily compensated with ordering one extra order. Small dish of the day was a chorizo quasadilla which was fantastic. I've had better tacos, but I can't complain with theirs either! The atmosphere was great, and the staff were very friendly and easy to talk to. For example, when walking out the restaurant, the front lady was on the phone, and she took the care to say "hold on one second" on the phone just to tell us thanks for coming in and to have a good evening. Generally a good experience, and would recommend. Wouldn't hesitate to come back another time!
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!
Verdict: Recommended
Really enjoyed dining with its quirky interior and upbeat staff.
Food was alright. Had the Brisket enchilada and the guava margarita. Both were good and reasonably priced.
The place was a tad dark but not a deal breaker at all.
Overall great place to come for some good mexican food and drinks.

We were looking for a place with good frozen margaritas and came across this restaurant. We had the pitcher of frozen margaritas and the chorizo nachos. The margaritas were ok. A little strong for my liking but they were enjoyable. The nachos, on the other hand, were not. They were simultaneously burned and cold at the same time. Not sure how that happens. The service was great and we were only sitting for about 10 minutes before everything came to the table. I'd come back for the margaritas but not for the food.
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.
Amazing guac. Great nacho structure, very well distributed toppings. Got the steak fajita and it was a bit too much onions and cheese but was still good. The tuna ceviche was decent. I really like the art on the walls
Excellent tacos, extremely fast (and friendly) service, very tasty Street corn and, of course, great margaritas! Cannot wait to return to El Rey and try more of their menu! highly recommend trying this place; we sat at the bar, but it was comfy and not too crowded. Getting a table can be difficult here without a reservation but it's all good, no matter how you eat here so long as you do ☺
Delicious! The food came out so fast!I had the Tuna Ceviche Tostada and Chicken Pastor Burrito. Truly flavor in every bite. The service was very attentive. Recommend having seating reservations, otherwise there is a 1.5-2 hour wait or bar seating.
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!
A friend and I were visiting PA , and decided to give this Mexican restaurant a try, and I must say, I was blown away by the quality of the food and service. The experience was nothing short of amazing.
The chicken enchiladas were absolutely delicious, and I could not get enough of them. The flavor was very unique and perfect, and I found myself savoring every bite. The rice was also a standout dish, cooked to perfection and complementing the enchiladas perfectly.
The only “con “ of this place is the size of the location, it’s quite small and can get VERY loud at the back of the restaurant.
Overall, I highly recommend this Mexican restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic dining experience. The Enchiladas and rice were outstanding, and I can confidently say that you will not be disappointed.

I think this is the sister restaurant to El Vez. It’s a very good Mexican spot to dine in if you’re in the Rittenhouse/Art Museum area. We enjoyed the cocktails, the guacamole here was superb, the ceviche was on point, the fajitas sizzled, and the enchiladas delivered. I do want to add that the waitress we had was super friendly and helpful. All in all, this is a legit and cozy spot to enjoy some fulfilling Mexican grub.
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.
