I love this place! It has delicious food, great service and a fun atmosphere. It is large enough for big groups. There is a large fun bar area as well! The best things to order are the margaritas, the nachos, the tortilla soup and the tacos Al carbon. Josephat was so kind and helpful, amazing customer service. I have hosted three large groups here and the food and service never slips.

Nice staff, good drinks, pretty good food. Easy to make a reservation, large space with cool decor, a bit warm inside. I got chicken quesadillas which were fine. The lavender honey jalapeño margarita was great, not too sweet, and with a kick. My friend got steak tacos, which she seemed to like. We shared chips and salsa. The salsa didn’t have a ton of flavor but was fine. Comfortable seating with large booths and tables available, and service was quick.

The food and vibe is great here. I’m jain and have many dietary restrictions. The server was very helpful and was able to accommodate 3 dishes as per our need. We had the Taco Mama, their entrees tacos (good enough for 2-3 ppl). Also, they have alot of margaritas and we ordered a few different ones (guava and pear ones are really good).

Located near the pier at Hudsons, this location surpassed my expectations. The ambiance exudes a fine dining setting with dim lights and cosy interior. There’s a bar area and lots of dining space, quite alot of options for seating. The service was exceptional from start to finish, our server was attentive and polite. The food was also appetizing, however I think the portions were too small for the price. Nevertheless, I’d recommend this spot for a family dinner, a day or night out with friends or just a new place to add to your to go list.

Not a lot of vegetarian options, but the ones that we did get were very good. I was especially pleased with the Nacho Mama, which had the right amount of cheese and toppings and wasn’t overly greasy. Everything else was better than average, which makes the place stand out. Huge location, lots of outdoor seating, and fair enough prices. The primary reason that I didn’t rate it higher is because the service was pretty poor at my table. The server walked off before even letting me finish a sentence when I was trying to order. Also, he didn’t know the menu well enough to help us find vegetarian options. Overall, a good dining experience... minus the less than stellar server.

I love this place came to visit dined here 3 days in a row. Flavor profile is excellent on all the ceviches. I truly enjoyed their watermelon salad and sitting outside is a must.

The taste, portion size, and value of both the food and drinks are decent, especially considering its near prime real estate. The food isnt traditional Mexican but an American/modern version of it. I personally found it quite bland and had to use a lot of salsa / hot sauce to add flavour. I don’t recommend the churros - they were quite moist on the inside (to the point that they stick to your teeth).The decor is quite nice and the restaurant is quite spacious, so its good for groups. Theres also ample outdoor seating.

The nachos here are incredible! Do yourself a favor and order them. If theres one standout item on the menu, its definitely this. While everything else was good, nothing else quite beat the nachos.

Great place for after work happy hours. The specials are good, but limited to wine and beer only. No cocktails! However, despite that, its a really cool spot, fantastic decor and great service. Id come here again, for sure!

This place is fantastic!!! Food quality is through the roof, service is good and extra fast. We adored the atmosphere and the tastiness of the food we got. We ordered two shrimp tacos, two zucchini quesadilla and a black bean enchiladas, along with a beer, a red sangria and a red margarita with a bottle of still and sparkling water. We spent about 155$.

This is my second time visiting this restaurant. I visited 4 years ago and I went after work. This time, I went on a Sunday afternoon. It was not too crowded and the staff were nice. I ordered the guacamole and chips. It was delicious. I had the chicken quesadilla and the churros. It was delicious. I look forward to coming back in the future.The place is very accessible by public transportation.

Review №17

Absolutely delicious! Started off with the guacamole with tuna tartare...high grade tuna and the guacamole was seasoned well. It could have been a bit more spicier for my liking. My duck mole was phenomenal...it was cooked perfectly where it was falling off the bone and not dry. The rice was slightly over cooked for me, but seasoned well. They gave you two tortillas on the side but couldve done without...not into assembling my food. Drinks were really good - we got a pitcher of margarita and specialty cocktails which were all good...they werent stingy on the liquor. Service was great- our waiter was super friendly and knowledgeable...recommended great drinks. Definitely would go back again

It’s a really great ambiance for sure.The seating staff at the door was friendly and welcoming.Our server took real long time to get our food, we had to strike him down to ask where is the food..! Firstly they brought the nachos on table which was really great and every bite of that tasted really very well.The wait was for sure long he brought one more plate to the table but the third plate was again missing, we asked another server about our third plate they said it’s coming and he brought it out, it almost took 10 mins to get the mahi taco.For the prices we paid the food was really less in quantity. But It’s ok I guess because of the city prices.But never coming back again.

This place has really cool decor. We came here for brunch and there was no wait. Service was fast and our waiter was attentive. We had the chips and salsa, and felt that it was nothing special. I had the beef burrito and really enjoyed it. It was extremely filling and had a side of guac. My husband had pancakes, which were okay.

Great Sunday lunch experience. Large and spacious with nicely decorated interior filled with Mexican-style furnishings and touches all around. Not a spot is missed, and yet, not gaudy at all. Service and food are equally superb. Best of all, be sure to order the chips and salsa -- free refills are on the table! Yum!

Let me just start out by saying we had a good experience. The food was good and fresh. I love the vibe and I’m happy we went. The wait staff experience was nothing spectacular but wasn’t bad either, just did the bare minimum. I’ve also had better Mexican food and drinks for a lot less money. So should you go here yes. Is it my favorite…. No. I recommend Sombreros in Midtown over this location.

Review №23

The waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. She made good recommendations as well, ensuring to keep my taste buds in mind with each food description she gave. The food, WOW! Guacamole was tasteful and creative. It had a sprinkle of Habanero cheese which gave the taste a creative kick. The chips were perfectly salted. My dinner, the Chicken Enchilada had an addicting thick salsa that left me wanting more with each bite I took. It went well with the side rice and beans. The side dish could have used a little more flavor but with all the combination of flavors the main dish had, it was enough to have my taste buds dancing for more. My waitress shift was ended as we paid the check but to my surprise, another super nice waiter came by to let us know we could take our time and if there was anything we needed while still there to let him know. Made me feel so comfortable. If I wasnt so full I would have ordered a drink! The only downer to this place is that they force the happy hour crowd tl specifically stay in one area. Not sure if its because they make the drinks different for that section or its crowd control for dinner guests but the fact that happy hour drinks were only served at the bar discouraged me from having any drinks at all. Other than that the place has beautiful decor and is well maintained (pre dinner rush). Definitely my new favorite spot in this area! Will be coming around soon again.

It was my first time experience, interior was interesting and I would give 3/5 for service, because we changed mind for one item and asked to replace it with something else in like 1-2 mins after sending the order. You cannot change once you put the order in.We had burritos, guac chips and few more items and they were really good. The mock-tails and cocktails were good too.The overall experience was good. I look forward to visiting this restaurant again.

Beautiful spacious restaurant with very unique features and nice lighting throughout. Convenient location to One World Trade Ctr. The service was excellent and the appetizers and drinks were amazing!

That blonde Pamela Anderson looking waitress (Rileigh) was absolutely stellar. My husband and I got into a fight mid-meal and she effortlessly resolved our issues. In addition, she used her charming personality to convince us to buy one of everything on the menu. It was spectacular! I will come back everyday from now on!

Delish!We had guac, nachos, tacos, and lots of yummy drinks. 👍 All were good.I especially appreciated their nachos app -Last week my friends were talking about how Mexican restaurants often provide nacho towers with stacked piles of nachos, which look cool, but only the top layer gets cheese. El Vez solves this, spreading out the chips so that all get the flavor, as youll see in the photo. LovedWe also appreciated the staff helping us find an item we accidentally dropped and lostRecommendedIn our next visit they provided crayons for my son. We appreciated

Review №31

Great food, yet service was slow and inattentive. I asked for grilled jalapeños when I ordered and they never came. Had to ask twice to get another basket of chips and didn’t get another dipping sauce. I would positively recommend the chicken enchiladas rojas, though. Lovely decorations were aesthetically pleasing and the experience did resemble a Mexican restaurant.

So good. I got the chicken enchiladas. The sauce reminded me of a mole. It had a little heat but nothing bothersome. The chicken was dark meat.The drink was an agua fresca -- mint and cucumber. Chefs kiss.Churros were fantastic. Crunchy outside, soft warm inside and not too sweet.

Often go here with the family and it’s always a great experience.- service is always top notch and you never have to wait long to be seated.- really good food that is fresh. The nachos, various tacos and burritos are delicious. The crab and avocado Benedict spot on. Oh and the pancakes are super fluffy.- very impressive list of tequila and mezcal, always a fun cocktail list.

There should be more options on the menu for dinner time. The horchata is delicious. The tacos just come as is, nothing on the side. The nachos were very delicious as well. I didnt really like the salsa from the salsa and chips but I think that is just personal preference. Overall, I think its an okay place. Its very beautiful but the food isnt all there for me.

We had made reservations and placed at a table that was slanted, they never offered to move us and the service was horrible. It took forever to even order or receive our food and when we got it, it was very plain. The margaritas were good, we got the frozen blood orange pitcher. The waitress never came once to check on us or ask how our food was or we would have asked for something different. We got the original guacamole and shrimp and chicken tacos but it was like there was no seasoning. I would recommend going somewhere else.

Review №45

El Vez has both a dine in area with a large selection of Mexican food and a burrito bar that you can take to go. The dine in area has great guacamole and tacos, however the portions are a tad small and a bit pricy. My favorite dish is the nacho mama and the tacos with a blood orange frozen margarita!The burrito bar usually has a long wait during lunch, but is worth it. You select what you want as you want as you move along the line, however there are a ton of options, including Korean beef, queso cheese and you can even get pineapples as a topping!

Excellent customer service as usual. We come here almost every week and every-time the food is fresh and delicious! There isn’t a single time when the food doesn’t taste good. Everything from the menu is so yummy. We live close by and this is our go-to food. We usually get: Nacho Mama with birria (which are excellent), carnitas tacos, guacamole, plantains, and you can’t go wrong with any choice of margaritas. Classic & strawberry margaritas are my favorite! Great vibe and beautiful decor inside. There is also a Photo Booth for who ever likes to make some memories and cute pics.Small tip: on weekends go with reservations! Walk-ins might have a bit of a wait time.

A new favorite of ours. The highlight is definitely the birria tacos.The cucumber mint margarita was super refreshing and light.The dragon guacamole was good, although a bit overpriced for guac. The nachos mama is very good, its rare that nachos leave such a positive impression on me. The watermelon and heirloom tomato salad is pretty good as well.As far as entrees, like I said the birria tacos are must. The chicken enchiladas are also excellent, I liked the short rib enchiladas as well but not as much as the chicken. The pork chop mole was delicious and tasted authentic. The chicken quesadilla was pretty good. And the plantains con crema are always a hit.

Went here for dinner because it was nearby the WTC and convenient. The atmosphere is nice and the margaritas were good but if you are looking for good Mexican food this is not the place.

Food was fantastic, flavorful and overall a good experience. We enjoyed our dinner at El Vez. We had a reservation for 7pm that we made a week in advance but they couldn’t find the reservation. I showed them the email and the Resy reservation on my phone, but they still claimed they couldn’t find us. Oddly, when we glanced at their tablet we could see our name. So not sure what that was about. But they were good and seated us immediately.Our waiter was quick and attentive. We enjoyed the guacamole, but it wasn’t very spicy. The strawberry basil lemonade was refreshing and sweet. The tacos were fantastic. The shrimp were flavorful, juicy and perfectly grilled. Same with the steak. The build your own tacos was a fun experience.Overall great experience and recommend el Vez

I visited Alvez in Battery Park today with my wife and son, looking forward to a nice meal. When we asked to be seated outside, we were told that they werent seating outside due to a staff shortage. However, as we walked back inside, we saw a table being seated outside who had arrived after us! When I asked the manager about this inconsistency, he gave a unclear explanation about it being related to the server, which didnt make sense.Unfortunately, this isnt the first time weve experienced strange treatment when it comes to outdoor seating at Alvez. It seems like they have a inconsistent policy or communication breakdown. As a result, we left without being served.Its a shame because weve enjoyed our meals here in the past, but the poor service and unclear policies have left a sour taste. Hopefully theyll work on improving their customer service and communication to prevent similar experiences in the future.

Wow! El Vez really impressed us with their restaurant environment and amazing menu! The food tasted authentic and fresh, and the staff was honest about wait time, which we greatly appreciated. Omar, our server, was a wonderful personality and we can’t thank him enough for being a fantastic server. I went with the Chicken Enchiladas which comes with a side of beans and rice. A perfect duo! We also tried the Nacho Mama as an appetizer and it was delicious! If you are ever in the area and looking for good food, try this place out!

EL Vez is located in a prime spot in downtown. The interiors are stunning. We had to negotiate to get a decent table, as there were many empty tables but we were being squished in a busy area. Finally we were seated in a corner table, but at least there was some breathing room.As for the food, the menu is very limited for vegetarians and inflexible. We ordered:1. Black Bean Tlayuda - 1/5 - bland, Soggy, pretty flat2. Tito Santana Guacamole - 5/5 - fresh, had amazing textures and flavors3. Brussel Sprouts Tacos - 2/5 - the sauce in it was good but overall was pretty flat. Also the only vegetarian taco option on the menu.The only saving grace for our evening was the server Daniel who was energetic and professional and took care of us, and the interiors of this place.But overall was disappointing, likely won’t be visiting again and may not be for vegetarians.

Six of us had dinner here. Everyone said the food was excellent! Everyone! It was a Friday evening, crowded yet it was possible to have a good conversation without having to shout. I would have rated the service too five stars except for the fact that all of our large order came at one go. It meant some of the food wasnt warm when it should be. Minor issue otherwise the service was excellent.

Health screening was a priority. They checked your well being when you announce yourself at the desk. The space is fantastic. The Sparkling White Sangria was awesome! The food was delicious. The guacamole was a little small but yummy. The Fish Tacos were just okay. The kids menu was nice. Check this place out when in the lower Manhattan area! It’s close to the Hudson River so you can take a nice riparian walk after. The ferry terminal from NJ is a block away.

Our waitress took our order then forgot the drinks we ordered. When we asked her she said did you order with me with an attitude. Crqzy thing is it was the first thing we ordered and saw her write it down on her pad. Then she went to talk to another waitress about us in Spanish not knowing some of my party understands Spanish. It wasnt the highlight of the night for sure. The food however was good.

This was my third or fourth time here and by far the most disappointing. Most visits would be four stars, but today struggled to be two. What Ive learned: stick to the tacos al carbon. A much more generous portion for your money, but more importantly -- they have flavor. The oxtail and chicken enchiladas were sooo bland. Basically just stewed meat in a tortilla drowned in warm tomato puree. The blood orange margs are usually killer but today I wasnt feeling it.

Found this Jem Mexican food place near World Trade Center it’s a 5-10 mins walk, where you get authentic Mexican food so flavourful and delicious. We had a starter and 2 main course for 2 pax. The started was mushroom based and it’s vegetarian loved the way cheese and mushrooms blended and it was so delicious and mouthwatering.Highly recommend Carnitas Tacos which is pork belly based the moment I took a bite of it, it was so soft and so tasty never had so yummy and delicious pork. It’s worth the money and one plate won’t be sufficient if you love the wasteLove the service and atmosphere. The wait time was less after you order food even though the kitchen is busy all the time

If you are someone that likes spicy Mexican then you should tell them when ordering. The food was good but default was not spicy at all (maybe a NYC thing), they had good cocktails as well.Restaurant was pretty full of younger 20-30 somethings when we went, presented as a fancier place but once there they were pretty much fine with whoever you are and however you come.

I frequent El Vez often but this was my first time back for the year. I feel like the food and service has gone down hill. Visited on a Thursday around 5 pm. There wasn’t a lot of people until we left an 1hr or so later. Once seated, it took 15 min for a waiter to come to our table to even greet us and ask if we wanted water. This left a bad taste in my mouth while everyone around us was being greeted and served. Very odd. We came for happy hour and didn’t get a chance to order any items because the service threw everything off and we forgot while focusing on the regular menu listed on the qr-code.I will say that the blood orange frozen marg was amazing. The fish tacos were not good. It lacked flavor and salt. They were very dry, and the portions are way too small for the price. My go-tos are the nachos which didn’t disappoint.I’ll probably only come back for small bites and drinks. It sucks that the quality hasn’t been the same.

Was extremely delighted by the fresh and very modern style decor this place had to offer. The ambiance was amazing! Whether its a romantic bite or perhaps a place to hang out and enjoy, then this is the perfect place for you. The food was very delicious and just enough. I had the Chicken Tacos and they were very flavourful. I highly recommend this place. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good experience, will go again and try other food items before I rate higher. The nachos is a must tried, the short rid enchiladas were ok, the sauce was extra thick heavy, bring your Tums. The sangria needs a little more sangria and less seltzer. Service was so so, but will still go back to experience other items on menu.

Review №129

The food was great no complaints about the food. The front desk where they were seating people was an unpleasant experience. One guy and woman were in charge of the seating. One woman was extremely rude. Just not happy to be doing her job. I had my kids with me and we were waiting to go inside the actual door, she was at the door. All I said was excuse me, so I could get my kids inside, she replied by saying “I see you, can’t you see I’m doing something.” Which was extremely inappropriate, especially since it was very hot outside. I had my four year old daughter and my 16 month old toddler. When you meet someone like that at the door whose extremely rude and just not wanting to be there in the very beginning, it ruins the whole experience for you. I wanted to leave right away, but my friends told me to try the food. Definitely needs to be better trained. This was my experience on Memorial Day!

I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about this restaurant. Friday was our first time going and the staff and service were superb!I made a reservation for a surprise birthday dinner for my fiancé and the restaurant was so.... accommodating and patient with us! We didn’t feel rushed the entire night and they even hooked us up with a larger table last minute when we found out more people were coming.I literally couldn’t stop talking about the stellar service after we left. We had such a lovely time and the food and drinks were delicious! We highly recommend! Thank you El Vez for a great dinning experience 💜

The decor is really on brand and I love it. Great drink menu and selection of tequila and mezcal. Service was on point too. BUTTTTTTTT the food is meh. The food is not worth the money and we got a bunch of stuff, and were even recommended the enchiladas, and the enchiladas were fine, at best. I’ve had way better Mexican food from trucks in Red Hook on the weekend for a fraction of the price. For reference, the food at Dos Caminos is significantly better than here, and I don’t really think Dos Caminos is anything crazy in terms of taste. Great place for drinks and apps but pass on the dinner experience unless you’re a big party and sharing a bunch of stuff.

Had a group lunch here, and really enjoyed it. I did not realize there was a solid place in downtown Manhattan with delicious Mexican food and drinks. Understand that eating lunch downtown tends to be on the pricier side of the $$ range here. BUT it is well worth it, as I had the Chicken Mission Burrito for lunch and did not eat until the next day!It has been a few years since I have been to El Vez so I was glad to go with friends on a recent visit. The service was excellent and the food was enjoyable. I would go back.

A solid restaurant serving good Mexican food and even better Birria. I came here for the Birria nachos and it came out on a big plate with plenty of toppings. I had the steak tacos and it was juicy, crispy, and just melted in your mouth good. The yellow tomatoes in it added a unique flavor. My friends had the enchiladas and the Birria tacos. I would get the Birria tacos next time. Overall nice ambiance and good food!

Review №148

They have good quality food but the service is unprofessional. My server had a stuck up attitude and kept on trying to rush us. She literally handed us a check half way through our dinner and she didn’t even offer desserts. I had looked at the menu online prior to my 5:30pm reservation so I knew that they had desserts. So it was tacky and rude of the server to hand guests checks while they are still eating dinner and then not even offer dessert or assume that they are not going to order dessert. I had to ask if they had dessert and then she listed the three items and we ordered dessert. This is why servers should wait until guests request the check. She should have also been trained to inform guests that they offer desserts instead of rushing them out. I brought a friend with me so this was embarrassing. I expect to have a good time when I invite friends out- not be treated like unwanted guests when we’re the ones paying.The server’s name was Jacqueline or Jackie if I’m not mistaken. Get a grip on your staff because they are damaging your business by mistreating guests.

Came here with a group of 10 friends. The restaurant is huge with tons and tons of seating. Its a very pretty restaurant right in the heart of Battery Park City. The tequila list is quite extensive, with probably 40 - 50 to choose from. The food was really good, everyone was very happy. I took away one star because my shrimp tacos though very good, were just luke warm instead of hot when delivered to the table.

Review №154

Eh. Our waitress was nice. Came in from out of state sight seeing in the city and the group I was with wanted Mexican food. Being from the south, I was expecting to be disappointed a bit in authenticity, but I figured it was worth trying. First oddity was they said they don’t have burritos in their dinner menu even though burrito is in the name of the place (not that I wanted burritos but someone else in my group did). I ordered the chicken enchiladas and it was just weird. Tasted like they were trying to make some sort of an Italian Mexican fusion thing i guess. I mean it wasn’t awful but it was way too sweet and the sauce straight up tasted like it belonged on pasta and not enchiladas especially not on chicken enchiladas. Very strange. My next complaint is they were really in a rush to get us out like someone came to take our plates while we were still eating or still had food on our plates and didn’t offer a to go box or anything it seemed a bit rude. Not our waitress but some other guy who we couldn’t understand very well. They also weren’t super busy yet couldn’t seem to keep refills coming and I was pretty thirsty. Anyway. I can’t complain too much as I didn’t expect much but I’d advise if you want authentic Mexican don’t expect it here. Head southwest. But it was okay. Just not legit.

Have you enjoyed a Nacho Pizza before? Thats not what theyre called but their nachos were INCREDIBLE. I included a picture with this review. Unbelievable!! Its actually called the Nacho Mama! Heres whats in it:Nacho Mama | melted jack cheese, black beans, salsa ranchera, sour cream, pickled red onion & jalapenoTheir service is good. Its in the World Financial Center downtown, across from the World Trade Center, and its pretty packed (the bar usually) in the evenings. The table service areas are really cozy and comforting actually. Well worth your time and your visit!

I like some of the food. We felt rushed when the waiter told us they were closing at 10pm but they took our reservation at 9:15pm. We were not going to rush through a pitcher of margarita in less than 30 min.We ordered the Tlayuda and it was a bit disappointing but I can see why some people like it. They don’t offer salsa for it unless you ask. We also ordered the beef enchiladas and they were delicious. The house margarita is good.

Where to start. I came here on a taco Tuesday. If anyone has been to the one in philly then they would know it was 5/5 all around. The food, ambiance and service was phenomenal. When I came to the one in NYC, I expected the same results. I was very disappointed. The sangria tasted like lemon with lots of ice, the guacamole was the size of an avocado with barely any of the actual ingredients you put in a guacamole. The fajitas were good but the waiter didn’t hear us say shrimp and steak. When we asked him about the steak he got an attitude and said we didn’t say that. Instead of being friendly about it he was rude and throughout the whole time we were here he didn’t attend to us. I would recommend going to other places with better service and food. What a disappointment. I’ll stick with the El Vez in Philly.

Enjoyed lunch here last week. The food was very good but wasn’t impressed by the drinks. The specialty margaritas were not good and the sangria was watery. The guacamole was also lacking. We shared the steak and chicken taco combo for two which was excellent . The crispy fish tacos were also yummy. Our waiter was nice enough to allow me to trade my drink for a classic margarita which was much better. I loved the decor and it seemed like a fun place for a celebration.

The food is decent, the staff is attentive, the atmosphere is lively, the bathrooms are very clean. But its the financial district and the prices are outrageous for the amount of food you get. The guacamole appetizer was very tasty, but for about a cup of guacamole $16 is pretty steep. It was an enjoyable enough experience but I wouldnt go back.

My 2nd visit here. Fantastic food. I had the short rib enchiladas, nachos and churros. Amazing decor. Youll notice around the restaurant that there are a lot of painting of Elvis. This is actually El Vez - a famous Mexican Elvis impersonator that the restaurant was named after. Thank you to the wonderful waiter and staff that told us about the Elvis history and kept the drinks and food coming! Definitely one of my favorites.

I did a takeout order for the first time on Tuesday and it was delicious!!! The tacos are prepared in a way where you assemble them on your own. That’s very clever and is the best route to go to avoid soggy shells from already prepared tacos, especially if bringing them home. It’s literally a Taco kit! The short rib enchiladas are absolutely amazing! The guacamole is fantastic. I have no complaints here. My mouth is watering as I write this review. I need more!!!

The noches were great!Let me start by saying I’m not a cornbread person but I was willing to try it. The Blue Cornbread Benedict was excellent, it was the perfect balance of sweet and salty. I was very satisfied with not only the dish but the attention given by the waitress Carmen. She was excellentI would definitely come back again.

The food was decent however it was clear the server couldn’t be bothered to deal with customers. It took him a good 10 min to come over after we were seated and if t wasn’t for me flagging him down. He then just looked at me with a look of “yes?” One of the bus boys served us our guacamole without chips but gave the other table guacamole and chips. And when I asked for our chips he then hands me a basket and stared at me with daggers in his eyes and asked “you want extras?” It was bizarre but I almost don’t fault them given the pandemic has created such labor challenges. At least the food’s decent even the service was subpar. The ladies at the hostess stand were pleasant though.

I liked the homemade salsas and their steak tacos. The guacamole seemed to be missing a few ingredients. The chips didnt have a homemade feel. The frozen margarita was good. The space is nice.

My finance and I visited El Vez on April 8, 2022. We had a taste for Mexican food and this place was right around the corner from the Conrad hotel where we stayed. We did not have reservations, however, we were able to get a table. The staff were very kind and very attentive. We ordered the guacamole and chips as our appetizer. For our meal, I ordered the Nachos Mama w/shrimp and chicken, frozen blood orange margarita (see picture looks like a pizza) and my fiance ordered the Black Bass (aka Pescado A LA Plancha see picture). My Nachos were just ok. However, my fiances Bass was good. I rated it a three because of the staff, ambience and the Bass which were good. In addition, food was somewhat pricey and Nachos were just ok. Moreover, the water is $8 a bottle.

Review №186

Good, not great food at reasonable downtown Manhattan prices, portions are good and wont leave you super bloated afterwards. Good selection of Mexican beers. Nice for a quick bite at lunch with coworkers or an evening dinner with clients, Ive done both.Im not from the South, so I dont know how authentic their food is, but its pretty typical for any good Mexican restaurant in the North East. I had the chicken burritos and they could have been a little cheesier but were tasty. The venue is quite big with a reasonably sized bar area, so even a whole department could probably have their end of year party here Im sure.The area has a lot of offices, as well as a healthy number of tourists, as its within shouting distance of the waterfront at Battery Park, and the World Trade Center complex. It doesnt have a big name so its not as crowded as the nearby Shake Shack, and when the weather is good you can sit outside and just people watch.

Had a good time at El Vez and Burrito Bar. They had good drinks and food. We had the chicken tacos and nacho mama and it was delicious!

They have a Photo Booth inside the restaurant, which I thought was pretty cool.

My first time here the other night for dinner. When I got there it was pretty slow but within the hour things really picked up. The service was good and the staff were polite and kind. The restaurant was clean and had a nice vibe. Had the nachos and salsa and order of the Carnitas Tacos. The chips could have def used a bit more salt. The salsa tasted very fresh. The tacos were good. The meat was juicy. I would have liked the tortillas doubled up because they did start to break a bit from the juice from the pork.
