| - On a Friday after putting in a couple hours of work, my boyfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to a happy hour and a bite to eat. It's always nice to take a walk down in Market Square, and who can say no to margaritas?
Las Velas is on the second floor of a building down in Market Square, and they have some seats along the windows so you can check out the lively scenery while you eat and drink and hang out. Happy hour is 4-6 here, and the Friday deals were a couple dollars off Don Julio margaritas that made them $8 and $15 and $5 Mexican draft beers. A little bit of an expensive happy hour, but we got a couple drinks anyways. Chips and salsa aren't free here, so we upgraded to chips and queso. Happy hour appetizers are $2 off, but it doesn't include salsa, guac, or queso. Both of us got tacos, chicken for me and mahi mahi for my boyfriend. Prices on the menu were pretty steep across the board, but when our tacos arrived the portions were fairly generous, and we got two sides with each meal.
Overall, Las Velas was good, but not great. The drinks tasted good and some of the ones on the menu were pretty creative. The food was also pretty good. I wasn't a fan of the happy hour deals or the prices in general, but we were satisfied with everything. Above all, I really liked the location and the layout of the restaurant. Not a bad choice if you're craving a splash of tequila!
