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.

Trendy Atmosphere & Tasty Food
by HighFive
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.
- Pros: Best Margarita's in LA

Favorite joint
by CSMobileUser
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
by LiveDeliberately
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
