Overall it was an enjoyable experience. We mostly had tacos and they were all good and reasonably priced for the city. I had a spicy margarita and an espresso martini and both were very good. Tuna toastados were way too salty though, and my side of Brussel Sprouts was more mushy than crispy. The churros for dessert were excellent, mostly because of the chocolate dipping sauce. I'd definitely come back with my family.
I haven't been to ElVez in quite a while and was very happy to be back. Server was excelllent. Enjoyed the guacamole which was a large amount with plenty of chips. Also the Mexican salad was vet good. Did not enjoy the steak tacos that much and would prefer a hard shell. The Mexican corn was good but a bit too salty. Still, will be back.
The shrimp tacos were absolutely amazing. The seasoning was perfect, the shrimp were tender while the outside was crispy, and every bite had so much flavor. The tortillas were fresh and the toppings added the perfect balance. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was inviting, and the food came out fast. If you are looking for a place that gets everything right, El Vez restaurant is a must visit. I will definitely be back.
