El Vez is always a must do in Philly and NYC, it’s that good! We stick with the Tacos Al Carbon for 2 with the steak, and a side of black beans and rice. Don’t mess with perfection!! We used to do the pitcher of margaritas which is more economical than single glasses- you get about 5 drinks from the pitcher. The problem is that you sometimes end up forcing yourself to drink more lol I know right? They are fairly stirring and let’s just say I drank more than I should have once- and although good I don’t remember part of the night. So now we stuck to individual glasses of margaritas! This time our waitress Kayleigh was excellent! She is one of the best. Every time we have dined in the Philly location we have never had a bad experience!
