El Vez and Burrito Bar, New York NY

I like this place I just wish they had more variety, it was packed and yea the food was amazing and the service great.

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.

It's a fun spot. The Pico de Gallo is super fresh tasting with great texture. The tacos are good, but nothing spectacular.
Great service. Really good drinks

Horrible staff; "sorry we cannot seat parties of 7". Even with 8 empty tables outdoors and a handful of empty tables indoors. "The most we can seat is 5". What kind of garbage is that? Very poor business practice if that is what management is implementing!

Nice interior. Very average food for exorbrant prices Bad service. Also no burritos listed on the menu!

I honestly liked the dishes and customer service, great location close to my residence. The cashiers are always welcoming. Would recommend to others.

Macho Nachos, Hot Sauce, and margaritas are excellent.
Fish Tacos were pretty good, Steak Tacos would be a pass.
Chicken quesadillas forgettable.

Would repeat

First time here in New York and my husband and I wanted Mexican food. We decided to come to El Vez and it was a mistake. Waiter took for ever with our food and drinks. Food was not good, didn’t really have flavor. Decor was great but unfortunately food did not represent great. DONT RECOMMEND.

Absolutely lovely. We got the tuna carnita tacos, beef short rib enchiladas, and the crab/shrimp ceviche (pictures attached). We loved it all and the decor and ambiance was brilliant. Really well done restaurant!

Good vibe. The place is very big so it didn’t feel crowded at all. It looks like a good happy hour spot.

Was excited to get real Mexican food.
This place was a let down.
Enjoyed the outdoor dining but the tables were so sticky that a simple "wipe down" would never suffice, my arm stuck to the table.
I ordered black bean enchiladas and asked if the could add grilled chicken. They said they couldn't. The taste was subpar and I ate about half before giving up.
I would suggest going elsewhere.

Our server was amazing.we ordered nachos with chicken and quac, they were smothered in toppings like we like it.we had mahi tacos which were also amazing.the chicken quesadillas weren’t the best but not terrible.definitely recommend.

El Vez never disappoints. Amazing food and drinks with a great ambience. Had a great time here with my friends.

Lovely place to go for brunch with friends / family after the Van Gogh Experience which is just a stone’s throw away. They have outdoor dining - perfect for people watching and a nice ambiance inside. Attentive staff, too! I was very happy with my order: Smoked Salmon Benedict which came in with poached eggs and blue cornbread. So tasty and delectable. I partnered it with the Banana Diaries cocktail (just heavenly, imo!) and I now have to place this on my top 10 of best brunches in NYC. A must visit in the area and I’m definitely coming back!

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.

A nice Mexican place with interesting decor and very good food. We had several vegetarian options to pick from. The nachos, tortillas pizzas and cauliflower tacos were delicious. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Enjoyed our lunch experience.

Food was great and the service was good. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because the kitchen messed up two of the five meals at our table. It took a bit to get it fixed.
