DISAPPOINTED – It had been over a year since we were last at Velvet Margarita. My husband and I walked in on saturday night and it was half empty and they still sent us to the bar while they got our table. There were two empty booths and I asked the host if we could sit at one of them. The host said NO we have two HUGE parties with reservations coming in. They sat us a regular table across from the two booths. Five minutes later they sat two girls and one booth and a man and a women at the other. I was livid. We waited until... read more

Perfect Night for Mom... – My mother loves Mexican food! So for her birthday this year I decided to do something a little special for her and take her to Velvet Margarita for dinner before heading to the Pantages to catch "Wicked". Having never been there myself, the only thing I knew of Velvet Margarita was that it was always in Us Magazine for something or other. Although I was impressed by Velvet Margarita's Citysearch reviews the clincher to make this my choice for such a "special night" was a recommendation I received f... read more
Best Mexican Food in Hollywood... – I was bread and spread in this city and believe me... this side of my tia cuca's kitchen there aint no better place in town!
Food: not good – I think this is more of a drinks and meeting people kind of place. The food was not good. Had the enchilada and it was bland. The margaritas were okay. Sad that in L.A. a $15 entree in a mexican restaurant two hours from the border was so pedestrian and forgettable. Eat at Citizen Smith and then come here for drinks and a cool atmosphere.
Fun place to go – I am new to LA and I recently went to the Velvet Margarita for the first time a few months ago. I naively thought it was an upscale punk club, ha, anyways...I was really pleasantly surprised by this place. I loved the decor. The dead Elvis motif, the puppets, pinatas, it was such an eclectic mixture but it all meshed surprisely well. I expected the drinks to be a lot more expensive but they were actually reasonable. All of their specialty drinks are around $10 and the drinks are pretty stiff which is fantas... read more
The Hollywood Scene – Went for a friend's birthday this passed weekend. Of course, Hollywood parking $10. On the good side, no cover charge. Some of the interior decorating I thought was a bit cheesy like the pinatas hanging. I did like the Mexican puppets. Got the pomegranate martini was really good, but then my cousin's was way too strong compared to the one I had. Outside patio was where the action was but I had a hard time breathing due to the smoke. Overall, the night was fun. Big con: no music to dance or vibe to.
decide for yourself Los Angeles... – who does this? who's life is apparently so pathetic and dull that one would "put aside time" in their day to trash a place of business in some feeble attempt to fill a void in their apparent lack of accomplishments. of course i've had less than enjoyable experiences at many restaurants, bars, etc., but never have i felt the urgency to spread such petty and childish garbage online when i could think of so many more positive things i could be doing with my time. if i ever have a disappointi... read more
Just okay... – I went to Velvet Margarita last night and I'd have to say that I'm disappointed. First, in response to a previous poster, I am going to complain about the parking. I've lived in L.A. for five years, and yes, parking is horrible... but charging your customers ten dollars to park is a crime. And if you know the area of Hollywood... there really aren't any other options, finding street parking in the evening is impossible. The margaritas (I had the classic) were just okay and were definitely outmatched by the scr... read more
