Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
El Vez-Ft. Lauderdale delights with its "awesome food" and beach-side views. Guests rave about the "best tacos" and "super fresh" tortillas. The ambiance is vibrant, especially during happy hour with "great margaritas." While service varies, standout servers like Nikki and Johan enhance the experience. A top spot for Mexican cuisine lovers.

    Food and ambiance were excellent as always. Our server was a bit inattentive and slow to respond to needs. But we’ll be back.

    Service was ok. Valet parking was excellent. Food was good, but expensive. Pitchers are small and $60 a piece-however they were very very good. The waitress had us split our own check-doing our own math and trying to figure it all out. Overall, good environment but on the high end for what we were expecting.

    Food was good. Service was poor. Restaurant ran out of Diet Coke. I can live with that. But had to ask two times to get tea and water refills. Salsa served in a thimble sized container. Had to ask the Manager for a check and it took 10 minutes to get it. Totally not the experience wanted or paid for.

    It’s worth a visit to El Vez for the cocktails, the great cuisine, the beach view.
