Casual yet contemporary, El Vez celebrates the festive soul of Mexican and Mexican-American culture, a true south-of-the-border spirit that manifests itself in the restaurant’s attitude and atmosphere. The breathtaking space is a feast for the eyes with imaginatively designed dining areas, a large bar outfitted with a photobooth, a wrap-around landscaped patio for dining al fresco. With deep roots in regional Mexican cooking, the menu is built around guacamoles, fundidos, ceviches, tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas made from scratch with authenticity in mind. Meanwhile, the bar offers a large selection of creative cocktails, signature margaritas and staggering selection of 150 mezcals and tequilas.
Modern takes on Mexican favorites served in a flashy space with vibrant colors & a lively bar.

I wanted so badly for this to be a great experience! I met up with my bestie for dinner before catching a movie nearby. I’ve worked in this area for years but hadn’t been back in a while, and I know restaurants around here tend to change often. We spotted the sign for this place and decided to give it a try.
The bar area was jumping definitely a happy hour crowd but we were seated right away, which was a plus. The dining area was much calmer and nicely laid out. I really liked that there was plenty of space between tables, so it didn’t feel crowded.
After reviewing the menu, we were both surprised by how limited it was. Most Mexican restaurants usually offer a wider variety of options, but we decided to go with the chicken enchiladas. They only came with two no sides, so we added a side of rice and beans.
The food came out quickly and was hot, which we appreciated. However, we both felt like the enchiladas were a bit light on the chicken and honestly, the flavor was pretty underwhelming. What a bummer, because I really thought we’d stumbled on a hidden gem.
We didn’t get drinks or appetizers since we were short on time, but I will say the staff was friendly and the prices were reasonable for the area. I just wish the menu had more variety and the food packed a little more flavor.
We chose to rate them 3 stars because the restaurant was nice and the staff was pleasant. I wasn’t able to get a lot of pictures.

Food was so delicious I’m rating before I finish my meal. Omg!!! We had the Nacho mamas and biría tacos. Perfection!!! The margaritas were small but so tasty and perfectly made. Definitely recommend.

I have come here a few times with my colleagues and each experience has been good. Their nachos are really good and i usually get the carne asada burrito here. Interior looks super goor and service decent enough. During warmer months there is outdoor seating available as well.

El Vez has been a longtime favorite of mine, and they continue to impress every time. The food is always flavorful and fresh, the prices are fair, and the vibrant atmosphere makes for a great dining experience. On my latest visit, I brought my family along, and we were seated right away—no reservation, no hassle. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and everything we ordered was spot on.
Highly recommend the churros to end the meal—they’re a must. This place remains one of the most reliable spots in the city.

The highlight of the menu is Nacho Mama and Grilled Corn off the Cob. Both were really good and flavorful. Another good option would be the Black Bean Tlayuda which had a lot of ingredients and flavors but was a little less crispy. Overall good food, great service, friendly staff, and good environment. Would come again for the Nacho Mama and Grilled Corn.

Just had lunch at El Vez in Downtown Manhattan, and honestly, it was a great spot! The food was super tasty – classic Mexican flavors with a modern twist. I went in not expecting much as a vegetarian, but I was really impressed by the options. Their veggie tacos and guacamole were top-notch (highly recommend the mushroom tacos if you’re into earthy flavors).
The staff were super friendly and polite, even when the place started getting busy. It’s got a fun vibe – lively but not overwhelming. Also, the location is super convenient – just a short walk from the WTC, so it’s perfect if you’re exploring the area or need a good bite after visiting the memorial or Oculus.
Definitely a place I’d go back to, especially if I’m in the mood for good Mexican food with solid vegetarian choices.

Five Stars for Flavors and Fun at El Vez!
I’ve been a regular at El Vez for a while now, and it never disappoints. I recently went for lunch with my niece, and from start to finish, it was an absolute delight.
We kicked things off with the Nachos Mama—and wow, they were just as incredible as we remembered. Perfectly layered with gooey cheese, hearty beans, tangy vinagre onions, and just the right heat from the jalapeños. The crispy tortillas held up like champs under all that goodness, and the cheese was flawlessly melted.
For mains, I went with the fish tacos on corn tortillas (my personal favorite), and they were fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. My niece had the steak tacos and loved them so much she took the last one home for dinner—which, trust me, is high praise from her!
The vibe is always upbeat, and the service was friendly and polite without being overbearing. If you’re looking for solid Mexican cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere, El Vez is the place to be.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!

To start off our waitress was nice at first but she seemed like she hated her job. Then when we payed with a card at the table we always leave a cash tip so when we clicked no tip for card she said this wasn’t a free establishment. We still tipped her even though she was rude to my partner.
The food was decent but nothing special. Just overpriced because it is NYC. The chicken enchiladas were average. The carne asada burrito was good. The chips and salsa were kind of pitiful for almost $9.
Unfortunately we will not be back to this establishment.

I have been coming here for YEARS! The nacho mama and frozen blood orange margaritas will change your life. I love too many things to list. In the summer there’s outdoor seating. please stay open forever!

This is my go-to spot whenever I’m in the area. The food is consistently tasty and solid, the ambiance is lively (and seems to get more crowded each time I visit), and the service is always great.
You can’t go wrong with margaritas, of course, along with the chicken and steak asada tacos. And if you have room for dessert, definitely order the churros—they’re worth it.
