Gothic-inspired Mexican restaurant/bar serves up late nights, light bites and lots of bordertown kitsch. – In Short You'd never guess from the grungy garage facade that this is one hot tamale of a place. Inside, the trendy Mexican lounge and restaurant is carnival fun house-meets-Tijuana kitsch: Blue velvet walls, black-lit Elvis portraits, sombreros on the ceiling and a palette consisting almost entirely of deep shades of red set the scene. Roving mariachis serenade hipsters and revelers sipping pineapple and coconut margar... read more
Great Ambiance! – LOVE THIS PLACE. LOVE. Every time i go i have a great time with great service, good food, amazing drinks. You walk in and it's like you've walked into the middle of a room Prince decorated. It's all purple velvet and black lace on red everywhere. It's nice and dark & a very loud fun place to go... Margarita's are a must try!
Mouth-watering mole, perfect service, sultry ambiance – This is a great place to entertain people from out of town. Real Mexican flavors. The salsa are awesome, chips are delicious, and the moles were as rich and nutty as those I had traveling in Oaxaca. The margaritas were PERFECT. The service deserves a note of its own: from the host to the witty bartender to the server, everyone really contributed to the atmosphere and made us feel welcome.
The BEST free chips & salsa & bean dip! – I've been here on numerous occasions & every time I am reminded just why I love their complimentary chips (cripsy, fresh corn tortillas fried to perfection with just a few red ones thrown in for fun) that come with the three-tiered serving cups of pico de gallo, roasted salsa and warm bean dip -- YUMMY! I also love their albondiga (meatball) soup, which is made with turkey -- traditionally, it's a soup made with beef so this is a great alternative and still very tasty. Even though so... read more
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!

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.
