About this business

La Velvet Margarita Cantina serves up family recipes handed down through the generations in an ambiance that is Hollywood swank with Mexican flare. Aside from the extensive menu, a long list of colorfully titled drinks include the Pink Puta and the Velvet Gringo, and of course, the restaurant's namesake La Velvet Margarita. It is a Hollywood hot-spot, so dress accordingly, who knows which star you might see enjoying their Pink Puta.

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

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

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.
