Delicious food! The sopecitos and barbacoa tacos tasted like authentic Mexican food and the calm atmosphere made the experience even better.

We were there yesterday for dinner. The margaritas were phenomenal. The Margarita Claus was a work of art with all of the little festive adornments. đđ

Poor management. Bad service and miscommunications between managers on different shifts. The kitchen doesnât know whatâs going on and the managers are incompetent. Plus, lackluster and mid food. If you come here make sure youâre prepared to not eat good food

I have gone to Las Velas for years with groups from work. In the past, I have always had a good experience with quick service and hot, flavorful food.
Yesterday, however, was terrible. I was part of a group of eight. We were seated in the main dining area, which had not a single other customer in it--the place was obviously not in the least bit busy on a Tuesday afternoon.
The waiter was speedy and attentive in seating us and taking drink orders, but he did not come back to take the food order for nearly a half hour. Once we had ordered, the food took 45 minutes to arrive--we were now running so late that a few of us worried about returning to work in time for critical appointments.
Although some of my colleagues were satisfied with their food, mine was terrible. I ordered a steak fajita, and it came with only filling, no shell (that was promised but never delivered), and everything on the plate was room temperature as if it had been sitting out for a long time. Only the refried beans had a hint of warmth and were halfway appealing to me, but I ended up eating everything because I was starving and desperate.
I notice that suddenly the chips and salsa are an extra-cost item, not a great way to keep customers happy for an hour while they wait on their food.
I cannot envision taking another chance on this place. If they cannot handle eight customers total on a weekday afternoon, I can only image what a mess they would make of the situation when they are busy. I will take my business elsewhere.

Great food. Loved the Halloween themed drinks. It's on a 2nd floor walk-up for all my fellow disabled peeps.

Food and margaritas were excellent as always. Very short staffed with only 2 servers for the entire place, but the server was still wonderful. Great view of Chipotle and Moe's.
Ate there after seeing their drink specials sign outside (half off certain drinks on certain days). We had some large half off Mayan sunsets and split a dip trip w/ queso, guac, and salsaâall delicious! We all had a pretty cheap bill and leftovers from our large entrees Definitely will be back!

First, they charge for chips and salsa. Then the soft drinks had no carbonation. Next, asked for tacos with no pico de gallo and they came with it. Took plate and just scraped it off. Fish tacos were VERY fishy. That means the fish is almost bad. The manager would not come out to discuss our experience and left it on the poor waiter. Worse âMexicanâ food ever. I would stay away. May be hard to believe but this is a completely honest review.

Service here was not good , server took a long time to get our appetizers and food. And when the food did come , most of it was wrong or missing, when we told the server it was wrong she said she would check the receipt which is weird because we know what we ordered . We didnât get any refund on the 3 orders that were messed up. Iâm ok with paying my food but at this point there was 3 orders messed up and we only changed one of them because we didnât wanna take up even more time waiting .i donât remember the servers name but she was tall Hispanic with glasses and brown/blonde highlights .Here are the pics
Mediocre with a higher price tag.
