The Velvet Cactus - Baton Rouge

Many Mexican restaurants are the same. But the food here is definitely a cut over the rest. Service is always great. And you can not beat the outside seats through the pond / well

I love this place. Food was excellent. Couldn't sit outside because it was raining, but we're gonna sit back and hopefully on the water. Love the atmosphere, the art and the creative junkie of the one who designed it. It's just beautiful. It's one of the best restaurants I've visited for a long time.

Love this place! It was my first time visiting with some friends and we enjoyed it. Service is just ok but the food is really good as well as the Margaritas, they have some interesting tasty recipes for this cocktail. Sitting outside during a nice afternoon was a great choice. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy.

House red sangria margaritas, trio dips, Egg rolls are very good! Thought we'd get small plates to share appetizers, but we didn't. Patio dining area is very nice.

I REALLY want to like this place because the atmosphere is so cool, but the food SUCKS! I went here when they first opened and remember the food being meh. I waited years before going back. We spent $80 on 2 alcoholic drinks, 1 app, 2 entrees. I ordered enchiladas, and they had NO SAUCE on them. How to you serve an enchilada with no sauce? Isn 't the point of an enchilada to be drowning in sauce??? When the waitress looked she said I see some sauce right there . You shouldn 't have to search for the sauce!!! Also, they 've jumped on the Street Corn bandwagon but have completely missed the mark. You know when you overcook corn on the cob and the kernels become shriveled and hard? They covered that in some street corn concoction and called it a day. I sent it back for another piece, and she brought me a shriveled piece again.
