★★★★☆ 4.0 Rebecca Higginson · Feb 2026

The food is absolutely amazing. I will be dreaming of the Mexican corn dish side. The chicken enchiladas were perfect. The asada plate was wonderful. I only wish it wasn’t so loud. We were with a small group and we all had to yell talk to hear each other. That can really ruin an eating out experience for me. But some people don’t mind, so if you are some people it is for sure worth it for the food. Great vibes, fun Photo Booth, overall would recommend.

Everything about this restaurant was spectacular. The ambiance of the restaurant was to die for; the light, the decor, the little found treasures were beautiful. The service was amazing and accommodating. We were celebrating two birthdays, and this was the perfect place to celebrate!

Ahhh such a nice restaurant in the city!! We got the tacos al carbon with chicken and mushroom. The guac and chips were also very yummy! The vibes are top tier and they even have one of the only vintage photo booths in Philly.

Was recommended to El Vez by the concierge at The Ritz Carlton Philadelphia and have returned a few times since 2011. ATMOSPHERE: Modern, contemporary, young & fun. BEVERAGE: Frozen Blood Orange Margarita Delish! Silver tequila, triple sec , fresh blood orange purée. Mezcale Mule I've never had a tequila-based mule and it was surprisingly good! FOOD: Bazooka Llimon Guacamole Goat cheese, chile flakes, pistachio, roasted tomato. Super fresh! Chicken Burrito Suizo Very good. Grilled adobo chicken, rice, queso fresco, red chile sauce, chihuahua cheese. Good size, couldn't finish the last 1/4. Macho Nachos We opted for chicken. Very good version as every chip had toppings on them. DESSERT: Mexican Banana Split Didn't care for the plantains (didn't read the description too well before o

One of my best friends has raved about this place for years. Finally got to check it out while my GF was in town for work. This absolute best thing about El Vez is the customer service. We sat at the bar and immediately felt at home. The bartender Madison (forgive me if I'm wrong as I'm bad with names) was awesome. She even encouraged me to go out of my comfort zone and try something I hadn't before and it was delicious! I went back the next day just for drinks during lunch. Miles was the bartender and again provided top notch service! Felt like I was talking to a long term friend. He was kind enough to give me a rundown on a few of the Asian cuisine restaurants I was looking at. He nailed it. On my way back to the hotel it took me past El Vez again so I popped in to say thanks but he had
