El Vez Of the Stephen Starr restaurants, this is not my most favorite. The theme is Mexican. I think the food is ok, but not inspirational, for the pirces charged. The decor is too over the top.

Mexican Food I've had better Mexican Food than at El Vez, but I definitely enjoyed eating here nonetheless! The food is good, just not extraordinary, but the atmosphere makes dining here a fun option!

El Vez is a very good choice One of the better Mexican based restaurants in Center City. Very cool & retro interior. This should be on your short-list of Mexican restaurants to visit.

Delicioso! Great atmosphere in this restaurant and the food is amazing! If you're a guacamole fan, try the platter, which samples all of the original recipes..the best I've ever had! Great servers, as well, who are knowledgeable about authentic Mexican cuisine

El Vez Chef Jose Garces's restaurant does somethings very well - a few of my favorites being the taco tasting platter and the grilled corn on the cob, also his interpretation of tortilla soup is extremely good. There is a great deal to chose from on this adventurous menu.

Pretty Okay It was an "ok" restaurant. It's surely average because I don't think you can do too much fusion to mexican food as to let say French/Chinese or Cuban cuisines and make it hype. The service was good, the ambience was nice. Carne asada is so-so as are the crab enchiladas. The El Vez dessert is fair.
