You really shouldn’t go to Fort Lauderdale and not see the beach with one perfect opportunity offered at the W Hotel’s restaurant El Vez, open for Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour. For my final meal, we went to El Vez, a Mexican restaurant where, during lunch, we could sit out on the covered patio and watch the ocean across the road.
Walking through the restaurant to the patio is a treat unto itself, both to catch the ambiance and to see the interior bar and dining space.
A Mexican restaurant is traditionally built around the flour tortilla, which makes it difficult to find items to eat whilst on the celiac diet but our server shared that each dish is made fresh to order, so adjustments can be made.
For salsa and guacamole choices, they offer both classic and specialty flavors, both sweet with mango and savory with poblano peppers. It’s this type of flexibility I’ve come to associate with Baja style cooking.
Their ceviche choices include Snapper Aguachile, tuna tostados, Pina con Camaron, and Tostada de Mariscos Grande.
You can enjoy their tortilla soup every day. Or a chopped salad or kale Caesar salad to which you can add chicken, steak, or shrimp.
They have fun names for their nachos. Like “Nacho Mama” and “Macho Nacho,” but I’d choose the prime brisket flat as if they were made in corn tortillas. Sadly for me, but not for the rest of you, they are wrapped in flour tortillas. Our server, Kristof, steered me to the tacos., which were made with Corn tortillas. The most popular, he said. We’re the crispy mahi-mahi, but the grilled snapper was delicious, a fish I’d only started. Eating while visiting believes for a few months last year.
