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 from a co-worker who was taken there recently by a group of culinary arts students. WOW!!! I have to say that first off, I never could have imagined this place would look like this. In fact, i got a little nervous at first that my mother would be overwhelmed by all the flare but, SHE LOVED IT... every bit of it! The decor, the food, the music, the staff... everything was perfect! Unlike a few "Citysearchers", I was quite impressed with the fixed price of $15 for several courses seeing that it is $8 for a tostada at Poquito Mas...
