Consistently good (not great) food 4/20/2011

I love it. Waiters are dressed to the nines. Starches are lip-smacking rice, black beans, plantains and yucca. Meats are sauced with garlic, onion and butter as they should be. Yet somehow, it tastes tired. Maybe it's boring. Maybe I'm jaded as an Angeleno and I need some bells and whistles to make me believe that the Cuban food I'm eating is actually better than I think it is. It may be, 'cus I don't really know Cuban culture beyond their awesome contribution to jazz. more

Good Food, Crappy Parking 4/13/2011

The cuabn cuisine at this place is tasty and authentic. The prices are good and the staff is super friendly. My only gripe is that the parking at this place is VERY poorly laid out. I have seen an accident and more than a couple of dinged up car door in my travels to Versailles. Great food guys, but gotta work on the parking lot. more

Service! 9/8/2010

This place sucks! I have been going to this place since i was a kid and i cant believe it has changed so much. You can tell they are using cheaper products cause thier chciken doesnt taste the same and I know for a fact thier servers pick their customers. They fight over the white people and sit them in the front of the restauratn and everyone else in the back. Next time you go in....chech that out its sad. more

fast&tasty when you know what to order and sit where ordered 7/11/2009

We always order and share #20. I don't remember the name but it is somewhat resembling beef stew meaty dish with red bell peppers and tomatoes - with rice, black beans, and plantains. Consistent good quality. Not too spicy, not fried, very soft, easy on my stomach. They bring it almost immediately. Good espresso. Although, we noticed if we choose other seats than suggested, it takes much much longer to get your order. THis all takes place during the day time, morning, lunch hours, so I don't know, maybe it is different at nights. Pros: consistent quality of a certain item Cons: if you change your sit you will wait longer more

Mediocre Cuban 1/3/2009

Been to both the Venice Blvd and La Cienaga locations to try the ""Famous Chicken"" dish. My GF got a small steak. We were both un-impressed. My chicken was dry. Her steak was below average. The high scores from other reviewers make me wonder what they ate that I didn't. Pros: Cheap Cons: Specialty was not very good more

horrible manager 7/3/2008

this used to be one of my favorite places. i went at least twice a month. i went last night and instead of chicken i got bones fat and skin as if the chicken was torn off. i told my waiter and he was very nice but when he brought the manager, the MANAGER ACCUSED ME of eating it all and trying to get a free meal! after yelling at me for 5 minutes he finally gave me the meal for free. we gave the waiter a 20 percent tip because it wasn't hiw fault but needless to say i'm not going back. Cons: the manager more

NOT real Cuban food 6/25/2008

I was raised on Cuban food and have heard everyone in LA swear by it. I finally got to try it out myself and the food was just horrific. I got a Cuban sandwich, which must be the easiest thing on the menu to cook, and it came out so cold that the meat was cold and the cheese wasn't even melted. Normally, the sandwich is grilled. It seemed like it was nuked in a microwave. I'm never going back again. Cons: Horrible food, not authentic Cuban in any way more

Disappointed! 6/15/2008

I went there for the first time yesterday. I was very excited, the line was long, the smell was wonderful. Pros: Great atmosphere, fun and noisy (in a good way) Cons: Parking was awful! I have a Honda Civic andparked inbetween a Nissan Sentra and a BMW 325 and could barely fit. 40 min wait. way too much garlic. I had a hard time understanding my waiter. more

Best restaurant near UCLA 5/24/2008

If you go to UCLA and want to get out of Westwood, Versailles on Venice is the place to go. Get the #6! The chicken is delicious and savory. You pay only $9.99 but you'll have dinner for the next few days! Its a great place to take a friend, or for group events, and its even a great place to take a date! You won't be disappointed! Pros: Absolutely delicious food, dim lighting makes for a great date place! Cons: Parking can be difficult sometimes, but its LA! more

Great food, service, atmosphere 3/31/2008

I almost missed out on this restaurant because I was discouraged by the full parking lot and long line along the outside of the building. Luckily my friend convinced me it was worth the extra effort (and we managed to find a relatively close parking spot on the street) - and he was right. Once we got in the door, the waiter was friendly and efficient, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the Cuban food definitely lived up to the hype. The famous garlic chicken (I had to order it) was moist and flavorful, and I also really liked the black beans they give you on the side. For drinks, the mango milkshake was great though the glass was on the smallish side, and my friend's Materva (a Cuban soft drink) was so good I'm going to order it the next time I go. And I'm definitely going again. Pros: Excellent food for reasonable prices Cons: Difficult to find parking, long-ish wait more

Delicious cuban food 11/30/2007

i love this place. it has the best roasted pork. it is cooked a long time and the meat literally falls apart. they put this amazing garlic lemon sauce on top of it. yum!!! The only problem is that you have garlic breath afterward. They also have great fried yucca!!! more
