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.

Our first time...eat food and service... the egg rolls were definitely worth the ride!

From the moment we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We were seated promptly and received exceptional service throughout our meal. Our server, Anna, was fantastic. The food was served promptly and was absolutely delicious. This was by far the best dining experience I have ever had. If we ever find ourselves in BR again, we will definitely be returning to this restaurant. The atmosphere was charming, the decor was lovely, and the music added to the overall experience. The restaurant was also very clean. I would highly recommend this place, 12/10.

I dined in here with my date and kids. Our server was very pleasant and kind. Being that it was a Saturday evening it was very busy. There was a wait between ordering that lasted around 20 minutes. They brought out a small serving of Queso for us to snack on. When it was time for us to order our meals it took about fifteen minutes. The atmosphere was vibrant many different races at tables enjoying their drinks and meals along with kids. I will say that if you come here to dine with kids under 10 to bring a tablet or portable gaming device on the weekend. The food we ordered was okay. It wasn’t spectacular, but seasoned well with nice presentation. I’ll come back here again. The parking lot can get tight fast too, so just be mindful of that as well.
