    The food was phenomenal. We had the tacos Al carbon steak and chicken and absolutely loved it. We live an hour away and stayed at the W for a weekend getaway with our kiddos but we would totally drive back just for that meal! Delicious.

    Amazing views of the ocean while dining on delicious fajitas. El Vez uses top shelf skirt steak along with perfectly cooked vegetables. It’s very reasonable for a spot that’s offering such a view. A definite visit is f you’re ever in Ft Lauderdale. Service can be slow at times.

    We had dinner there recently. I have to be honest. It was just ok. First of all, the booth where we were seated, was extremely hot. We asked for the AC to be turned up but they could not accommodate us. The server was super friendly but took forever getting to us. We literally were about to get up and leave when she arrived. The food came quickly, thank goodness. We chowed down and got out of there as quickly as possible. The atmosphere felt more like a dance club than a restaurant, but I understand we are in South Florida.
