Vela's - Joliet

The owner and bartender are se of the best host I have ever met. It's my to go spot! Totally recommend.

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!

When I visit Joliet to meet with my good friend, we always stop at Vela's for lunch. Is it the good food? Yes! Is it the friendly, but professional service? Yes! Is it the kind of place where you can just relax,spend time and not feel rushed with friends or family in the warmth of an enjoyable restaurant? Absolutely! The cost of lunch, also makes it a practical choice for families and friends to enjoy. You know I love it so much, that I'm going back tomorrow.

Love the food and the bartender is very personable. Great place

We had an excellent dining experience at Vela's tonight. My wife and I shared the chicken fajitas, which were delicious. The margaritas were also fantastic. The owner came over to our table, and we learned that our waitress has been with the restaurant for 13 years. This is exactly the type of family-run establishment that deserves your support.
