10/10 experience. I reserved this spot for my best friends birthday and it did not disappoint. Staff were attentive and thoughtful. The team even wrote her a birthday card. The food was phenomenal. All flavors mesh well in every dish. Pulpo a la Parilla, Pollo a la Leña, and the empanadas were our favorites. Definitely plan on coming back to try other dishes and for any other celebratory needs.

Our friends just moved to IL from Mexico. They said this place is authentic with modern mixes in the food. And they approve! Everything about Vela was special. The ambiance and music, service by Ethan, drinks and food was amazing. We will be coming back. Definitely a spot to impress guests!!

We will be back. The food, drinks, and service lived up to the hype. Don’t skip the empanadas. The Paloma is the best I’ve ever had.

I genuinely believe this will become one of the best restaurants in Chicago, and I’m so excited to see how it continues to thrive. It is relatively new on the scene but firing on all cylinders. You walk in and are warmly greeted by people who aim to make you feel at home. The atmosphere is lively. The drinks at the bar are easily accessible and have a vast array of options, and the bartenders know how to adjust to your taste if needed. (Get the espresso martinis!) The servers are knowledgeable and take their jobs seriously—a big shout-out to Antonio and Christian. Every dish is immaculate and embraces true Mexican roots—they do not shy away from using different colors of corn as they do in traditional Mexican food. Of course, you must try the Mole topped with delicious crispy pork belly. Hats off to Jorge Angulo. He is not only so friendly, but I genuinely believe he is trying to communicate his love for food on the plate before you. He is definitely a rising star in the Chicago scene. I can’t wait to continue coming here for a long time and can genuinely say this is my new go-to when I’m entertaining my friends in town, date night, or want a fantastic meal.

It was freezing in the restaurant. Could feel the heat was on, but every time the door opened we all froze and our table was blocked by the bar, not in front of the door. Something has to be done, either build an outdoor doorway frame or a curtain on the inside. Also, basic noise level is off the charts. Hard to have much conversation. Both would deter me from going back. Too many other options where we don’t have to deal with the cold or noise.

The space is very comfortable with lots of booths. The manager was very helpful in making our party comfortable as they were experiencing an overflow crowd. He seated us at the bar until our table was ready. The food was fresh and tasty and our server was excellent. Overall a good dining experience and we will return in the future.
