I love every experience I have coming to this restaurant. Its food, warm and friendly environment, and the kindness of the owner speak for themselves. A great spot to step into for a quick lunch or to kick back for a few hours and have a beer or two. Affordable prices and great serving sizes - favorite thing to get are the Steak and Potato tacos, traditional style, on corn tortillas with plenty of green salsa! Highly recommend eating here!
We had a great meal at Vela's tonight. My wife and I shared chicken fajitas. The margaritas were great. The owner stopped by our table and we found out that our waitress had been with the business for 13 years. This is the kind of family business that you want to support.
The owner and bartender are se of the best host I have ever met. It's my to go spot! Totally recommend.
