A. are named after a very famous Cuban restaurant in Miami. That restaurant is named after the treaty of Versailles which ended the Spanish American war and resulted in the emancipation of Cuba from Spanish rule.

But I'm from back east were cuban and puerto rican is the mexican of the northeast los estados unidos. Though i must admit their mojo is a go-go in my book.

I actually got the lechon asada, which I really enjoyed - since the meat is shredded the garlic flavor gets into all the meat. The mojitos with the sugar cane slice in it was a nice touch. These must be the most common orders since we got our food 5 minutes after we ordered.

I ate at the Encino location (on Ventura Blvd.) and didn't have to wait at all. I love the intense flavor of Versaille’s garlic sauce, and I have yet to eat better plantains.

I like the plantains, but I think all their other food tastes exactly the same no matter what you order. They just smother everything in the same garlic and onion mixture.

I am with you on the bread - it's pretty darn good. But the restaurant itself certainly isn't at the top of my list and doesn't even come close to comparing to any Cuban restaurant in FL. If LA had those restaurants, Versailles would be out of business. Versailles is okay. I am with you on the bread - it’s pretty darn good.

I can definitely see the desire for more garlic. In general, I think it may be difficult to really infuse chicken with garlic on such a grand scale. I've had great success at home, but have yet to find it in any restuarants. Anyone know of any places that are good at this? I demand a duel…pistols at dawn….j/k.

I really don't like Versailles that much. While I don't mind coming out of the place smelling of garlic, I found that the food needed MORE garlic flavors. This always make me mad because whenever I first cut into the food, this rich aroma of garlic comes steams out, yet I just don't taste it. I do agree that the plaintains are fantastic, but it's not so good to make me go back to Versailles on a regular basis. There's also a Versailles at Universal Citywalk.
