Is this mexican food? – Bein from San Diego I am really surprised... is this bland, tasteless stuff what Los Angeles calls Mexican food? I went with a big group of people because we heard it went off at night. I tried a lot of dishes and everything was not great. People with me that live in L.A. agreed that this place has a lot of hype, but doesn't really deliver. Plus I could definitely go without the accompaning L.A. attitude shown by the wait staff. I have read the other reviews and I agree that this is a fun place to get... read more
fun night! – Had dinner with a group of freinds. first timer. we had such a great time. good energy place food was so tasty could'nt stop eating those chips and salsa with that bean dip unbeleivable! Have to come here just to see the interior design! Pretty amazing. Owner was sitting next to us with her freinds. She was so nice (pretty too! ) bought us drinks and dessert. Hung out on patio after dinner great vibe. Will definetley be hanging out there more often!
Are we talking about the same place? – I am not one to write reviews but I am a bit surprised at some of the comments a few have made regarding Velvet Margarita. I cant help but think these reviews come from competing restaurants. Personally I've always had a blast and always have been treated like a king!
AMAZING FOOD, LATE NIGHT DINING!! LOVELY STAFF – Seriously I will never eat Mexican food anywhere else if i can help it! the food is amazing - so reasonable, huge portions and Monday nights 2 for I margaritas!!!! Imagine that - a $4 margarita in a hip Hollywood spot!!!! the staff were all so friendly.. some are kinda hot - so trust me.... you WANT them to be as friendly as poss!!!! a really good experience everytime!!!!! and the door guy always gets a cab for me and waits until I am in it and safely on my way home. attn: smo... read more
Strange Decor – These guys would get a 5 star rating if they had a bigger selection of beers. They didn't have Coronas or Sam Adams. The bartender told me they don't carry Anheuser-Busch beers. I got a Tecate and it came in a can with a lime thats kinda lame if you ask me. The food was simply amazing. The waiter never came by once to take the order but he never came to check on us buth then again i was there around 1:00 AM and the restaurant areas was empty.
good scene, great calamari – swung by here the other night w/my girls, had the calamari and stuffed churros. yes, i said STUFFED churros. so amazing!!! we had a blast and the service was so on point. If i wasnt sitting at a table eating, i def would have been making trip after trip to the bar to have a reason to talk to the hot bartenders......oh and bumped in Kat Von D too, NICE!
Fun place, Good vibe, Awesome decor!! – I went here for my friend's birthday. They gave us a great table and the service was awesome! The decor was so cool and different. There was a nice size smoking patio in the back. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!
Good food, weak drinks – First, let me state that I've been to La Velvet Margarita many times. The decor and ambience is amazing. Everything on the menu tastes great. However, beware the bar. The margaritas are consistantly weak and taste like something you would expect to receive at TGIFridays or Acupulco.
Tips from a Regular... – Ok, since it seems that I practically lived at La Velvet Margarita this Summer I think I have this place wired. Here's the scoop... 1) The parking on Cahuenga can be a hassle BUT there are a few $5 lots along Selma (don't blink or you might miss them) if the valet is too steep for ya! 2) On weeknights I have never had longer than a five-minute wait for a table BUT for weekends I would definitely recommend making reservations! 3) Don't be shy to be specific when you order! I am a picky eater and they ... read more
