It was a Monday, so I have no idea how the noise level would be when the restaurant was crowded. But the food and service were both great! I had the steak fajitas which were among some of the best I ever had. Happy Hour marg specials were great, and our server was very pleasant and suggested different things on the menu.

Food was so good and unique. It’s so busy that there was not a great area to wait until table was ready. But good problem to have for a restaurant.

Espresso martini was amazing as always. Had the milanesa this time around and it was to die for. Our server, Micaiah, was great as always- we will be requesting him from now on! Definitely recommend for date night, the ambiance is beautiful.

One of the best meals I had this year. The pork and salmon were absolutely delicious. Tortillas were even amazing. I wasn’t quite happy with the drinks and while service started off great, it was slower towards the end of our visit. I will be back soon to explore more of the menu.

Our friends just moved to IL from Mexico. They said this place is authentic with modern mixes in the food. And they approve! Everything about Vela was special. The ambiance and music, service by Ethan, drinks and food was amazing. We will be coming back. Definitely a spot to impress guests!!
