    The drinks were innovative and very well balanced. The food was amazing. The rice and beans delicious. Never tasted better. Our server Jevon was a stand out with his great service and attention. Friendly and made the evening go fantastic. We felt as if were VIPs. Can’t wait to revisit.

    El Vez is one of our neighborhood favorites. We enjoy sitting and enjoying the beauty of the beach with friends and family.

    Excellent location, food was spectacular. Service was okay, nothing to brag about. I feel hostess and wait staff could have provided better service to match the amazing food and atmosphere. Pricing is good and we would definitely go back.

    Highly recommend. It has a beach view, delicious guac, great food options for just about anyone. The options are super generous, and the service was fun and friendly. We started with margaritas, moved to guacamole, and then split the dish for two. It’s not on the online menu, but it’s basically a fajita in a hot stone bowl. It was an ample amount food and super delicious.

    We were staying at the W through VRBO and were starving after a day from hell of travel. We thought to stay local and get a bite to eat and start the unwind process for our family vacation. Everything was perfect. The food was delicious, the margarita was great and the service was amazing. The place is really cute and gives you a Mexican vibe from the decor to the art on the walls. The menu is not too large, which we prefer, so the chef can perfect a few items instead of churning out many menu items. We had the guacamole, steak nachos, and fried shrimp appetizers which was the perfect amount for a really hungry family of five. For our entrees we ordered fish tacos, shrimp tacos, steak tacos, and chicken tacos. Everyone was happy with their meal and we vowed to return again. Unfortunately we wanted to try a variety of places and didn't make it back, but heard by another hotel guest that we should order the corn side dish next time. We will be back!
