Reviews for El Vez Fort Lauderdale in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Good middle of the road Mexican fare. The mucho nachos were excellent and served on a pizza tray which was a great presentation.... They tasted excellent. We also had two orders of tacos, chicken and steak. The steak left a lot to be desired but the chickenwere wonderful. Overall service was OK, food was good, but nothing remarkable. Pricing was on par with other places but justdidn’t really deliver on value or experience to be somewhere I would go back. Read more

A special guess from NC was visiting for the week. Wanted to treat her to a nice evening by the beach. Called ahead and asked if... we needed reservations and if we can get a table with a view. Was told NO reservations required and there's a lots of outsideseating. What they failed to mention was the hotel is under renovations and the view was blocked off by a hideous plastic likeshield. There was no table with a view. We were so disappointed. The service was poor. Our server was friendly but never cameback to the table to asked if we needed anything or to see if we were satisfied. The ceviche was delicious but tried to get ourserver's attention to no avail ti bring me a spoon. The drinks were terrible.....glass filled with ice so you're really payingfor a sip or 2 of the drink. We are regulars to the W as guests and Steak 954 which below I gave a raving review. So, you couldimagine my disappointment and embarrassment for us special guest visiting Florida for the first time. The guacamole wastasteless and the chips were served warm but felt like it was old. All in all a horrible experience . Read more

This is a great spot to grab a bite after hitting the beach or pool. I loved the vampiro taco. The nachos and enchiladas were... also quite good. The patio is shaded for the most part with a nice breeze and tables are pretty well spaced out which isappreciated. You can grab a reservation on open table. Read more

The service was fantastic. The chicken tacos were the best thing I ate all weekend while visiting Fort Lauderdale. The nachos... were great too. Not what I pictured in my head, but tasted good. The food was hot, fresh and appears to be made with highquality ingredients (based on taste). I enjoyed my meal. Read more

Such a beautifully decorated restaurant! Great attention to detail with even the hostesses wearing pretty dresses. The service... was prompt and food was good. Perfect spot to watch the beachfront. Read more

Such an incredible experience from beginning to end. The customer service was incredible! The food was out of this world!... Honestly, I was skeptical about the pricing however, the food is worth the price. My only bad thing to say about it was theportion sizes. For what I'm paying I want MORE. However, I was very satisfied at the end of the meal so it wasn't a big deal.All and all I recommend you going there and having some food! Also, the steak tacos are REALLY good too ???? Read more

Nice location off Ft. Lauderdale Beach, beautiful view from patio. We dined inside, staff was very kind & attentive! ????... Restaurant has personality, with high-spirited decor; is clean; menu graphics are very clever & engaging. Chips & guacamolewere “delisioso.” Upon arrival, my guest’s shrimp tacos were very “Tex-Mex” & a little “too greasy” she shared. And, I’m disappointed to say that although my salad had good flavors the list of vegetables in the ingredients seemedbountiful as described by menu, but, after it arrived it looked as if it was missing half. Everything was diced very fine(hence the name “chopped” but let’s actually make it a “meal” by throwing in .50 cents more beets, more anything ) itwasn’t “bad” it just didn’t meet expectations. And, it wasn’t something I couldn’t have made at home for $3. ofingredients (a margin king for food costs, but not a good customer value). Overall, for location, pricing seemed fair until thebill arrived & two “pedestrian” (read: mediocre) cups of coffee were $12., even with prices rising everywhere that seemedsomewhat exorbitant. Go for the view & location, skip the salad. (Discounted parking validation is a plus.) Read more

The good: street corn was delicious. The guacamole (classic) was delicious. The hostess at the front was friendly. The not... so good: the table we sat at was so dark you had to use your phone to see the menu and food. The staff was spread thin (againa common theme among all restaurants). The chicken tortilla soup was not very flavorful, missing key ingredients. The soup hadchunks of chicken instead of pulled chicken. I got the chicken platter with watermelon salad. Both were …… ok. For theprice I would steer clear. If it were at a different price point , I would recommend. Read more
