This place makes me angry. I looove a good margarita and some Mexican food, but this restaurant has neither. The service was incredibly slow, and instead of apologizing, the wai...

Hip and Trendy and located right across the street from my absolute favorite little club Hotel Cafe, the Velvet Margarita makes you feel sexy. The vibe is like the inside of a retro van by designer from H&M home decor. Red and Black yet sexy. Margaritas...hey they are pretty good. This is a great place to meet your friends and all squeeze into one of the giant booths. I have never actually eaten here so I guess it has a great name. more

Best. Margaritas. Ever. 2/11/2011

Drove in from Vegas with friends Saturday night & went straight to my favorite LA place … I go there for the $5 Margaritas & the fish tacos. NOBODY DOES IT BETTER! Then I wound up getting hammered on the patio. My girlfriend ordered me a $25 shot of Don Julio – and it might be the best tequila ever. Although the patio’s a little crowded on the weekends, the vibe is well worth it. I wrote this review because I am a loyal customer & was offended by a previous review titled “Never Again”. This place is the greatest and if you have issues, you’re either a hater or you work for another restaurant. more

Orale VMC! 2/11/2011

When I get into Hollywood, this is my favorite place to start the night and end it! I wanted to write a quick note because I took a big group here a couple of nights ago. I should have made a reservation but the manager took care of us. Our server was great and we were not the easiest group. (We came from a club and had been partying.) But by the time the food came, everyone was totally happy. This place is totally different from any other place I've ever been. The atmosphere is great, the people are cool. They have a great selection of tequila that I'm slowly working my way through. Can't wait to go back and thanks for taking care of my rowdy friends. Everyone had a blast! -Xavier more

Never again! 2/10/2011

I took my friend there for her birthday. she wasnt happy, i wasnt happy, her guest werent happy. It has a great atmosphere which sets you up for a big dissapointment. The prices are high and the food is no good. I was looking forward to some great margaritas since the drink is sin their name......worst part of the night! The margaritas were small, expensive, watered down, had lots of ice, and did not taste as good as the two dollar margaritas i could get at one of my favorite spots. Big mistake taking my friend there, only did because she loves margaritas -_- more

Editorial

  • 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 margaritas, while energetic salsa music booms during their breaks. A full menu is comprised of many calorie-conscious twists on traditional cantina favorites like ahi ceviche, turkey empanadas and tequila-flavored shrimp bisque.

    Hits: The crowd is fun and the chips and salsa trio (chipotle, tomatillo and hot bean dip) are some of the best items on the menu. Note: they're free with dinner.

    Misses: Unless you have a reservation for a large group, you'll have to wait for a table, which can be painfully slow on weekend nights. Also, the margaritas are very pricey.
