Even though I am not Cuban every once in awhile I crave a Cuban dinner or lunch. This week was one of those weeks so I stopped in on my way home from work to pick up some take out, and I'm very happy that I did so. The order was ready in 15 mins and I was lucky enough to find parking right out front, even though their parking lot is fairly small. They have a ton of delicious items to choose from so for this dinner, and our first time at Versailles, we chose the Media Noche, which is basically the better version of a Cuban sandwich, and it was terrific. I added avocado to mine, which I highly recommend. We also ordered the Chicken Empanadas and they were filled with delicious meat and perfectly crispy. We also ordered the Vaca Frita, which is shredded flank steak loaded with onions, which was probably my favorite of the items. The onions were crispy and the steak was delicious. I would definitely recommend to any fan of Cuban food or to anyone looking for a solid lunch or dinner option. read more

Don't fill up on the complimentary bread slices although it was nothing but garlicky and buttery deliciousness! The servers were welcoming and friendly, and the pollo famoso was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They gave a generous amount of platanos. read more

Versailles has been a staple restaurant in my household and is one of my favorite spots for Cuban food! I don't know many restaurants that offer Cuban food like this establishment, which makes it unique/special to me. Located in LA, the parking can be pretty hectic. Their parking lot is extremely small and shared amongst other businesses in the vicinity, and during peak hours it's basically full. Sometimes you have to go to the street for parking, which can also be tricky at times. In terms of service it can definitely be a hit or miss for me. There are instances when the servers are all so friendly and attentive to us, while there are other when they ignore me and forget my food. I'm deducting a star here as I've had various experiences with their service from all the times I've visited. The restaurant gives off very cozy vibes and is warm and inviting. You can hear the kitchen staff laughing and having a good time as they prepare your delicious meal, which makes everything more friendly! For the food, I always order their chicken and beef empanadas to start off, followed by their famous garlic chicken. Their empanadas always hit the spot, as the edges are perfectly crispy while the filling is a perfect harmony of savory and juicy. One empanada per person is more than enough as an appetizer, but my family and I always order a couple and share between us! Their famous garlic chicken is what always gets my family to come back. It's served with fresh onions, black beans, and white rice topped with their famous lemon garlic sauce. The roasted chicken is never too dry/tough, and it really soaks in all of the juices of their garlic sauce. The onions cuts into the heaviness of the meal and the rice definitely balances it all out with a blank slate in the background. It's one of my favorite meals, and it's always a treat to come back! Overall, this is one of my favorite restaurants to visit when I'm in LA, and I hope you take the time to check it out too! read more

Was 5min early for the 20 minute estimated ready time and the food was ready. I got the Cuban and Croquetas for $28. Croquetas were fairly decent tasting. The Cubano was flavorless and soggy, especially for $18. Still eatable. Would be better if this spot used Mayo or something for sauce inside the sandwich, and toast it for a longer period of time. Fry's were very soggy and tasted like they've been sitting out all day. Definitely my least favorite Cuban restaurant in LA. I do not recommend. read more

Food is delicious. Service is great! Music is wonderful! You have to try #16 whichis My favorite dish. The chicken marinaded with lemon. It's taste sour and perfect with rice. read more

The garlic chicken!!! Woah! So good, I miss it already and will be dreaming about it tonight. Big portions.

I've only been to the one in LA. Have to say I love this place. My favorite is the chicken. My wife loves the Lechon. We drive from the Pomona area all the way there. We always purchase the marinade for home cooking. read more

Let me just start by saying I LOVE Cuban food! Was my first time trying this spot and I damn near ate the plate that my order came out on lol. I tried the Ropa de viejo (favorite of mine) and it was tender, well seasoned and had just the right amount of veggies and sauce. The entire meal was pretty good and very satisfying. Gotta shoutout the sandwich I tried as well! The Bisteck sandwich was delicious and it came with some really good fries. The mango smoothie was creamy and mildly sweet. Loved it. It's a quaint, small restaurant that has that mom N' pop feel. The staff were friendly, the music was good and the establishment was clean and has its own little section in the parking lot. Definitely coming back! read more

This spot really doesn't look like much from the outside. We were hesitant walking in, but golly--it was such amazing food and service! I ordered the Cubano sandwich. The cheese, the meat, the flavor!!! Soooo good. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. It also came with a yummy side of fries. We also ordered two empanadas, one chicken and one beef. They even stamp the empanadas with the letters of the meat. They were small and delicious as well! Highly recommend coming here. I'll be back! :) read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by a close friend! We decided to head here after a nice hour long hike! Ambiance is lively with Cuban music playing in the background with TV showing ESPN Desportes! There is a large dining area & we had no wait on a Sunday afternoon! Upon sitting down, they brought us a bread basket. It was a thinly sliced baguette lightly toasted with melted butter. You could literally just eat this as a meal! But, I do not recommend filling up on the bread! We ordered the Chicken Empanada as an appetizer, & it was served piping hot! The inside was incredibly juicy & the iutaide was so beautiful with such a flaky crust! Seriously...just order it! Next, we were served the #6 Famoso Pollo Versailles - Vesrailles Famous Garlic Chicken & Sandwich de Pollo a la Barbacoa. Let me first start with the #6! Apparently, this is what Versailles is known for, & it definitely lives up to the name! It is essentially a quarter chicken. Think leg, wing, & half of the breast. The mixture of dark & white meat was extremely moist & the garlic on the skin was incredible! You must pair it with the onions that were on top! They had a slight bitterness to them...almost like they were slightly pickled! I combined each bite of the chicken with the onion & rice/black bean combo. Incredible! The Sandwich was also a delight! It was a thin piece of chicken that was very flavorful with a light BBQ sauce that was not overpowering! It also had swiss cheese, lettuce, onion, & tomato al inside that beautiful Cuban bread. You cannot go wrong with this sandwich either. The fries were okay...nothing special it was the sandwich for sure! We concluded our meal with cafe de leche & an espresso. Why would you not have Cuban Coffee? My espresso was a treat...nice, dark, & strong! Al-in-all it was a very pleasant experience! It you are looking for a Cuban restaurant, this is a "must try"! read more

I ordered food online and came by to pick it up. It was quite good, however, the tostones had a touch of ripe plantain taste, and I didn't like that. The sauce they came with was good. I ordered the chicken dish and had enough for two meals. It was nice and tasty. This was an old school looking place and I liked it. From the signage outside to the indoor seating. The most modern thing to me was the hand sanitizer stations. The people greeted us when I entered to pick up the food and they were totally nice. Their "to go" game is on point because the food was nice and warm when I picked it up and was still warm and tasty by the time I got to my sister's appointment. I don't know if I'd come to this location again, because I don't go to LA often, but I did like the fact that they have more than one location. That way, I'd be able to get my Versailles fix closer to where I'm staying. read more

Versailles is totally AWESOME. It's great for delivery/takeout, but even better for dining in! Everything is truly authentic and homemade, and their mojo sauce is to DIE for. Plus, when you dine-in, you get complimentary garlic bread -- what's not to love about that? Parking is a bit scarce, but it's definitely worth it. read more

These guys are still doing it!! First time eating in the restaurant post COVID and was wondering if it was going to be as good as before.. I can happily report that YES, it is. We got the tried and true garlic chicken which was super moist with that amazing tangy garlic sauce. We also got the chicken wings for the first time and it won't be the last, really good also. Loved the bread as always even though it's super simple. Can't wait to go again. read more

I was able to park easily. I ordered take out and let them know I was driving to San Diego with the food. They wrapped everything twice and the food was still warm after a 2 hour drive. Chicken tasted a bit less garlicky than I remembered. The plantains were still amazing! Gotta try this place, it's like nothing else. read more

This place is great!! All the option on the menu are very yummy, you can't go wrong if you like Cuban food. They gave me a super fat pollo Cuban sandwich with barbacoa. It was so delicious. The staff is also really nice and the service is super fast!! read more

Been wanting to come to this place for a while, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the media noche sandwich, pan con lechon sandwich, ropa vieja, and the platanos muduros. The pan con lechon was definitely the star of the meal, and the side of fries were cooked to crispy perfection. The platanos were also delicious and thick. Overall I was very impressed by the portion sizes and price point. My only complaint was that the media noche had a bit too much mayo, so I probably won't be ordering that again. It would also be great to have some more light in there. read more

I've been going to Versailles since before Yelp existed. My plate here is their Cuban roast pork with plantains (YUM) and rice that must have been cooked in some of the pork fat - I don't know what it is exactly but it's DELICIOUS. Even when I was vegetarian for a few years, I would sometimes cave in and get the roast pork because it was just too irresistible with the onions on top and that garlicky lemony sauce that's all over it. ALSO, when you have a little left over (because the portions are large), the roast pork with an over easy egg on top is just about the most delicious breakfast you can have - mixed with that rice of course! read more

I've never had Cuban food before so I didn't know what to expect. But wow was I impressed! I ordered their garlic half chicken, and it was jam packed full of flavor. It was delicious. The marinade tasty and seasoned to perfection. The meat was moist and not dry. It came with marinated onions that add the right texture to complement the chicken. My dish also came with a bowl of rice and black beans. I also ordered a cuban carbonated drink. It's made from a plant that grows primarily in South America. Needless to say, i was stuffed by the end of the meal. This is great place if you're in the Pico/La Cienega area. I'll have to come back and try some of their other signature dishes. read more

This place brought back a flavor I haven't tasted in more than 20 years. Literally had tears in my eyes. So crazy I never knew how to describe what it was. I had really forgotten. Coming here brought it all back. I got the ropa vieja I believe it's called. I still salivate thinking about it. We wanted to try some of everything so we got the picadillo anlong with some other goodies. I enjoyed every bit of it. I'll definitely be coming back. So glad we ran into this place. Literally just driving by and decided to take a chance. It was worth it. read more

This place is so good! So, I was meeting friends here for dinner. It turns out that there are two locations. I was at one and they were at this one. Luckily, when I finally arrived, I already knew what I wanted. I had recently seen an episode of Relish, where Fricase de Pollo was made and, so I wanted to try that at Versailles. It. Is. So. Good! It is very flavorful, the chicken is enveloped in this sauce and is paired with black beans and rice, as well as fried plantains. One friend had the Cuban sandwich and the other had the Lechon Asado. Three happy campers! I can't wait to go back. read more

If you want a fun place (music) great service and amazing food. This is your place to come. I enjoy the Lomo Salgado but the garlic chicken with bbq sauce in the side is always a runner up!! Bring a friend to share as portions are large and prices are more than fair. Don't skip on the carbs and have their bread. It's free and definitely with every bite. Professional suggestion. Ask for a side of bbq sauce for dipping the bread. You'll thank me later read more

Provender: if you're craving Cuban food, Versailles is the go-to spot. I recommend ordering the garlic chicken special. It comes with rice, black beans, and fried plantains. Garlic lovers, it's your dream come true! The pork special is also another great option. I've also tried their beef empanadas and they were delicious. Prices: the garlic chicken special runs about $20, but it feeds two. The prices are reasonable since you get a lot of bang for your buck. Parking: there's a small lot so there are a few spots, but it can get tight. People: fun for all. Perks: when eating the specials, it's best to soak up the juices along with getting a spoonful of rice and beans. They also serve beef dishes and sandwiches, so there are other options to choose from. read more

First time going here, this place was recommended by my coworker. We dined in and had a great time. I ordered the sandwich cubano. My sandwich came with fries and I ordered a side of plantains (I love plantains ). Also, I made a great choice of having the sangria as well. The customer service is excellent and it's a chill vibe. read more

Never thought I'd see a Versailles in LA. I went to the one in Miami and loved it there. Got free garlic bread. Ordered Garlic chicken with white rice and beans. If I could do it again, I'd ask for garlic sauce on the side - since they put it on top it was a little salty and the sauce made the skin not as crispy. Chicken was great. Soft and easily falls off the bone. Hard for me to find parking on a Saturday afternoon - I had to go residential street parking and walk over. There's a small lot in front if you're able to make it at opening and you're lucky to find an open spot Can't compare it to Miami since I got a Cuban sandwich back then, but I'd be open to go back here and try out more read more

This Versailles location off Pico-Robertson is a little bit smaller and a lot more modern than their Versailles Palms location, because the ambiance of the latter is more of an enclosed warmth feeling while here firstly is more a shiny glass windows and cafe kind of feeling. Service is very good and nice. If you are vegetarian and eschewing the pork and chicken then the plantains and beans are your must haves. Delicioso as well. read more

I LOVED THE SERVICE and the ambiance. The decor and music were nice. I tried 3 appetizers and based on those I decided not to continue my meal. Their fried yucca (2/5) , croquetas (1/5), and chicken empanadas (3/5) did not seem to be fresh. Definitely felt like reheated frozen food. The fried yucca had a dried astronaut food type of texture, the croquetas were more dense than I'm used to, and the empanadas were okay but a bit doughy. All this to say, I'm sure their mains are better but I didn't want to stay and find out. I'm originally from Miami and am very familiar with Cuban food. I was disappointed in the food, but absolutely not disappointed in the service. read more

Great restaurant!! Chicken, rice, and beans every single time ! So good! Thank you for always being so constantly good at every location!

I used to come here a lot back in the day, and it's still as good as I remember it. I usually get the garlic chicken or the sirloin steak with onions. I love the onions so much. The flavor of the sauce is amazing. The plantains are better than anywhere else I've been. The portion sizes are generous. As good as ever, but without the long waits they used to have. read more
