The Velvet Cactus - Baron Rouge

Had three meat plate and its gone. Very good food. Service was very good too.

From the second we entered the door, the hostess was so sweet and welcoming. We got seated immediately and the service was absolutely stellar. We had Anna as our server and she was absolutely amazing. When our food came, they immediately placed our food in front of us without auctioning it off and the food was absolutely DELICIOUS!! Best experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant! If we ever come back to BR, this will be a MUST! The place is also adorable, the decor is so cute and the music is great! It’s also extremely clean! 12/10 recommend

Literally such an incredible experience from parking lot, to door/hostess, to table, to food, to paying!!!!! Our waitress Anna was PHENOMENAL!! The food was insanely good!!! And the vibes were absolutely immaculate!! I seriously can’t wait to come back! Hands down best experience I’ve had in a veeeeeeery long time!! I’m not easy to impress but consider me IMPRESSED!!!! I will tell everyone I know to RUN not walk to The Velvet Cactus!!!!!!

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.??‍ The waitress was nice and is at the mercy of her kitchen staff. They clearly don 't know what they 're doing back there. The next day, I ate my leftover enchiladas covered in taco bell sauce, and they weren 't half bad ?

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.
