Velvet Cactus is a wonderful place to take the family of friends for an adventurous night out. There is a large outdoor seating area with plenty of activities to keep everyone happily engaged. The food was good, definitely an American play on Mexican food. The service was okay- it was obvious our server had many tables and was very busy. We will definitely come back for a visit.

OMG IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE A MILLION STARS I WOULD. Our server Jonathan G was awesome and nice. Cute atmosphere. Theres a station for mosquito spray outside if you’re dining outside. My son is allergic is egg and soy. And he’s 2 so a very lucky eater. We were informed that the chicken tenders have soy. We were prepared to just try the quesadilla. The chef PERSONALLY came out and confirmed his allergic and made him chicken strip from the chicken breast 🥹🥹 that is AMAZING AND ABOVE AND BEYOND. he didn’t have to do that!! The margarita was AMAZING! First time here and I will be coming back! That crawfish Queso 🤌🏾🤌🏾We had the shrimp enchilada . And my husband had a shrimp, chicken and brisket enchilada. My son loved the tenders! Thank you so much again 💛

The food is always good and the ambiance is always nice. I love the crawfish banditos! I could eat them daily. The margaritas are always on point and I love that there are so many to choose from. I'll be visiting again soon.

Delicious food and fun atmosphere. The only bad thing was the waitress never came to clear out any of our used dishes off of the table the entire time we were there.

I have visited this restaurant several times and have been satisfied every time!
There is a very unusual interior with paintings and decor.
Very good service with Helen, where the waiters cheer up!
I think they really love their job!
And finally, about the food!
You are best!
For the first time in America, I felt real delicious food!
Thanks for your time, your courtesy!

The restaurant is gorgeous and a great place to hang out with friends for happy hour. There are lots of games and plenty of space to just enjoy the ambiance.
The food is delicious, especially the quesadillas. They are massive and we certainly couldn’t finish them. The drinks are good but the margaritas can be a bit on the weaker side. The service is top notch. I strongly recommend visiting. Definitely come at night to enjoy the vibes!

This location's food did not disappoint. I tried the new menu item- the Mexican Pizza, and it was flat-out fabulous.
My daughter had the Tacos and street corn, which were equally as good.
Yet, the star of the show was the cucumber Margarita. I know it sounds strange, but it's one of its best sellers for a reason.

Beautiful restaurant. The food was good. My only complaint is on the shrimp and grits. I don't know if, because we arrived at 8 I received an eating soup spoon of grits. But, that's what I revieced for $21.00. The waitress correct it and gave me more without question. So, it worked out.

Well this is certainly a fun place worth the 40 minute wait. Their margaritas are wonderful and you can drink it on the patio which is beautiful while you wait for your table. Our server was great and the food cones out fast. Their velvet steak tacos are Devine and that corn on the cob is like no other. We will definitely try this place again!!! Fun atmosphere too!!! Plantains and queso dip to die for!

The only thing that I regret about this place is not taking any pictures! I'll definitely go back and get some!
Omg, the food was AMAZING. AH-MAZ-ING. It's like a gourmet Mexican joint. I don't think I've ever eaten at a better Mexican restaurant 🤔 Nope, I haven't. Ok so firstly, the location is really nice and the restaurant itself was super cool. There were interesting paintings and photos everywhere, beautifully lighted outdoor seating, and had just an overall neat vibe. The servers were really friendly and efficient. Oh and we didn't have to wait long at all for our food and they were busy.
Now, the food 🤤🤤🤤 I had the pulled pork tacos that come with two sides or chili/soup. I chose the chili which was delicious. I actually closed my eyes as I took a bite lol It was that good. The pulled pork was perfectly cooked and there were fried onions YUM. The portions were perfect as well and of course I had a margarita 🍹 😋 oh i forgot to mention how decently priced everything was, especially for how great it all tasted. New favorite place to eat!
Update: We went back and I got some pictures!

Food & Atmosphere were great! Our server apparently had too many tables and was not very attentive after our meals were delivered. We had to ask another server for reflls.

The Velvet Cactus is an excellent spot for tequila enthusiasts like myself. A really good spot for tacos and such as well.
The outdoors are nice and welcoming where it screams a social spot afterwork and on weekends.
I had two different margaritas. I want to say it was the Christmas Cactus and their top shelf frozen. Either way, they both were pure art in taste.
The salsa that comes with the tortillas is delicious. I wonder if it is house-made.
I purchased the sampler. The flautas were the best I’ve ever had. Hands-down. The egg roles dough was not like your Chines restaurant egg roles dough. These were very unique in whatever they use. The crawfish bandito was meh. Their queso is amazing as well.
My servers were not initially engaging with me. It was several minutes (I always time) until they acknowledged me. They were dry and seems as though they preferred larger tables. But once I began ordering they (I guess one guy who was shadowing was in training) were better.
I highly recommend The Velvet Cactus and will return soon.

The staff was great and the food was just fantastic!! Great atmosphere, but be prepared to wait for inside seating. Outside has plenty of seating and somewhat kid friendly.
