Versailles Cuban Food

It's been years since I've been to this Versailles location which brings back memories. Versailles is total comfort food. Tasty proteins, black beans, rice and fries are basic but with some love and tasty when garlic is involved. The infamous garlic chicken is a go to dish. It's roasted in a garlic sauce and served with sliced onions. I get sick of eating chicken sometimes. So, I crave a tasty pork dish. Lechon asado is served similarly as the garlic chicken. Nice tender pork with that tangy, buttery, garlic marinade is a great alternative. Along with a side of fried plantains gives some contrast to the savory flavors.Great to see this place expand from years ago which was like a can of sardines. The added booths and bar area make the experience here a bit more breathing room and comfortable. Service here is on point and warm.

The food is seriously so good, but I got insanely sick after eating the chicken dish (which they are most known for) literally down for about two days with food poisoning and the worst stomach pain I've ever had. Unfortunately can't trust coming back here to try again after that first time, but it was delicious no doubt. I haven't had food poisoning in over 8+ years so they need to quality check.

Cuban cuisine is definitely on my food carousel! Pork, beef, and chicken. With knowing guests ordered Ejemplos De Versailles Sampler Plate, consisting of Ham Croquettes, Papa Rellena, andTamales y masas de puerco. Broke da mout!I had to have the Famoso Pollo Versailles, Famous Garlic Chicken (lunch) A juicy 1/4 half chicken marinated in a delicious garlic sauce garnished with sliced onions. A side of moros y cristianos(rice and beans cooked together) and fried plantains. Goodness!

All of my LA-based Cuban friends have said that this is the spot, and they were not wrong! We ordered way too much food, but could not help ourselves because we wanted to try a little bit of everything. The Ropa Vieja was cooked to perfection, the yucca fries were addicting, and the black beans were so delicious! The portions are plentiful and you will leave very full or with leftovers. My husband and I were impressed and satisfied and will be back next time we visit LA.

This place has so much culture and the food is so delicious. I would love to come back and try more from the menu! Empanadas 5/5Chicken dish 5/5Oxtails 5/5Plantains 4/5

Food was great! It well prepared and very flavorful. I enjoyed the tamales they were nice and moist and the ropa vieja was very filling and hit the spot! The papa rellenas were yummy! Service was on point; we were greeted multiple times by different staff and were very attentive for drink refills.Came with a party of 6. Everyone enjoyed their meals and took some home.Portion sizes are pretty big and can be split between two people of moderate appetites and enough for a hungry teen.Con: Parking is extremely limited so might have to park on the street.I would come back again!

Versailles on Venice Blvd is a vibe! The minute you enter you'll be welcomed by delicious scents coming from the kitchen, the hustle of the waiters and staff trying to make everyone comfortable.I drive by almost everyday and you'll always see their parking lot full. My first time I tried this location was during the pandemic. I only ordered a cuban sandwich for pick up but I knew I had to come back to experience inside.We tried the lomo salteado, chicken wings, salmon filet, fried plantain, and cappuccino. The logo and salmon come with white rice and black beans.The lomo salteado which it's actually a Peruvian Dish, was good... beef could be more tender but it was decent. The chicken wings were delicious! Highly recommended. The Salmon filet was basic, nothing special but cooked well and very good. The cappuccino and fried plantain (plantain maduro) was delicious :)Great staff who seem to know people by name! TV screens available if you want to catch a Dodger game. Bar sitting also available.

Every time my parents are in town, they insist on coming to Versailles for Cuban food and I'm not complaining. The food is always good and the portions are always generous.Among my and my parents' favorites:Ejemplos De Versailles Sampler Plate - always so good and has a great variety of appetizers.Chicken Wings - the wings have amazing flavor and I love the sauce it comes withFamoso Pollo Versailles - Versailles Famous Garlic Chicken - definitely famous for a reason! Always excellentSandwich Cubano - Really delicious!Carne Con Papas - Beef Stew - My parents especially love this one; if you love beef and/stews, this one's for you!Dulce de leche cheese cake - Heavenly! Definitely order it if you see it in the dessert case. You won't regret it.As for parking, Versailles has a parking lot in front and there are usually spots available.

The lechon asada was juicy and tender. The crispy edges were a nice addition. I was impressed with my meal and left full and happy. The service was quick and efficient.

I personally always enjoy the half chicken dinner with all the garlic and onions. My wife likes the pork dinner. The quality of service can vary a lot here from good to poor. They've been around here for a long time and they definitely have a consistent crowd.
