El Vez, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mexican Restaurant Details

Food:

"Even after all these years", "high expectations" are "met and then some" at Stephen Starr's "high-energy but relaxing" Mexican in Washington Square West offering "awesome" blood-orange margaritas, an "amazing" guacamole menu and "out-of-this-world ceviches"; some say you have to "yell across the table" and "prices can add up quickly", but "responsive" service helps make it "worth it."

Food:

Was hopping for much more. Very average food quality for the prices they charge. Service was ok but nothing more. As far as authentic Mexican food goes, lets just say that I had better.

Food:

Margaritas were great. We got the one table that was close to the bar. There was a group of people that were standing closer to our table than we would have liked. My food was great. Tacos were perfect, pork could have had more flavor but the salsa saved it. My husband's dish however was interesting. His enchiladas came with mole sauce.

Food:

Best decision we made the whole trip to Philly. Make a reservation early though because they fill up fast. Truly a restaurant destination.

Food:

Mahi mahi tacos and guac is delicious! Make sure to make a reservation before coming in... Its always so packed.

Food:

Absolutely delicious Mexican food, known for their guacamole. In the warmer months there is outdoor seating, but all year round there is a very long wait for a table. I recommend making a reservation. Don't want to wait for a table? There's lots of amazing options within 1 block!
