Wow!!! This place is next level delicious. Hard to decide what we liked best because it was all truly amazing. This was my first time tacos gobernador and I’m hooked!! Warm homemade tortillas! Big thumps up to our server Nathan and the rest of the staff. He did a great job explaining all the dishes and helping us decide what we wanted to try. He encouraged us to share dishes and try a little of everything which was definitely the way to go. Need to also comment on the ambiance. The decor, lighting and colors made for a great dinning experience. The design of the bar makes for a very special atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back to Vela for more!

Well curated menu, with great execution on a mix of classic and inventive dishes. Friendly, knowledgable & attentive service throughout our seating. Great ambience with a live DJ for a fun atmosphere, but not too loud. Cocktails and each dish all had strong presentations. Will be back for sure, keep it up team!

Not the best. Started off having to wait 30 min for our table. Then another 20 min until a service member actually approached the table. From there it progressively worsened. Food was either overcooked, and the the kicker was the steak was essentially salt. I will say the ambience cool, and the drinks are good. But that was about it. Wouldn’t return, and would seriously recommend reconsidering before going.
