Trendy Atmosphere & Tasty Food
Reviewed by HighFive on 2009-10-15T14:36:36Z

I love Velvet Margarita!!! From the funky, trendy decor to the free chips & amazing dips to the out of this world drinks...it's all around a great time here. The food is tasty and huge portions for the price. I'm a sucker for their margaritas...esp their Velvet Margarita served in a pineapple. This is a great spot to enjoy dinner with friends before heading to the club.

Favorite joint

This place is by far the coolest joint on the cahuengaq corridor. Friendly staff and strong drinks. If your not trying to spend tons of $ stick to the $5 house margarita. The place is hip and has a cool vibe to it

Not open for Cinco de Mayo

Look, it's Hollywood. Anyone expecting top notch service in a crowded bar atmosphere at a place called The Velvet Margarita is a moron. The food is fine, drinks are great, atmosphere is like a Three Amigos vision of a Mexican restaurant. But they are CLOSED for Cinco de Mayo for a private party. Unbelievable.

Pros: Great margaritas and decent food

Cons: packed, bad parking, mediocre service

Great if you're a kid

I had a reservation for $8pm and wasn't seated until 9:45pm. We waited at the bar which became VERY crowded. The host was nice as was the waiter. Very attentive waiter. The drinks are pricey so expect to buy a lot waiting for 2 hours at the bar. If you want the same quality of food and don't want to wait 2 hours to be seated even though you have a reservation, go to La Barca.

Pros: Good Food

Cons: Ultra long wait
