El Prez: Reviews & Ratings
Great place. Wait on the reopening. This is one of my favorite places to recommend to clients. Owner please let me know when you're reopened. I hope the vibe and standards can be maintained or improved. (My clients like that place)
I've been on this place several times but this time I need to leave a review for Yoselin. She is the best server I've met there! Very attentive but not overwhelming! She is gra 5 stars for her for sure :)
Came here on 4th of July. Ordered drinks downstairs and brought them up so we didn't have to wait. Brought us ceviche on accident and flautas took a little long, but the chips, pico, and guac came quick. - De La Casa Bowl 7.5/10 fresh, tortilla bowl was tasty, chicken was good
Great view of the sunset from the rooftop bar. The burger tasted great and was cooked nicely. Bacon was a bit too crispy, but cheese and jalapeños made it ok. We were bummed that our server didn't tell us about the specials before we ordered. We over heard the table near ours order $2 fried tacos and $4 drinks, but we were already full.
This is a great place to come to if you want real food! The kitchen closes at 10 pm so make sure to order before then if you want to eat. We each ordered three tacos with a side of rice and beans. The tacos were delicious and well worth the price. Usually when I go to a bar, I expect bar finger foods such as fries and chicken tenders. The food here was so great I wouldn't even consider it to be bar food. I would come here for dinner and drinks! I will be coming back to enjoy more of the food and drinks. We sat upstairs on the rooftop which was nicely decorated. There were heaters to keep you warm. Unfortunately, we came at night so I cannot speak for the view, but it is right by the beach and I am sure the view looks amazing during the day. I love that they have the Boom Boom Club downstairs so you have the option to dance and hang out. The ladies bathroom is decorated nicely and there are many neon signs. There was tons of seating downstairs and I absolutely loved that they had dance poles. The music was amazing and overall this place had tons of good vibes. Parking wasn't an issue as they have their own parking lot. However, it is paid parking and we paid about $50 for three hours of parking.
