An ok addition for lunch but not at all authentic if that’s what you’re looking for. Very mixed cuisines represented with Indian flavors more prominent than Mexican ones. The service was fast enough but the inside eating area is kind of small with only about 9 four person tables. The outside area isn’t much better as it’s only half covered, and the tall chairs are hard to get in and out of. Portions were pretty good, my fried chicken tacos came with 2 good-sized tenders.

Our group tried 8 different types of tacos and all were amazing! Chips & guac and red velvet cake were great as well. Cliff the general manager stopped by our table and was helpful clearing things and very friendly with conversation. Food came out quickly.

Grabbed a quick lunch to eat for husbands birthday. The place was nice and quiet and the menu was well placed. Husband and I ordered our four tacos the kinds were chicken & waffles, Baked salmon, Rotisserie chicken and Fish n’ Chips. The flavors for all tacos were amazing and also had Topo Chico. The downside here it’s a little pricey for the tacos but will definitely come again to eat.

I ordered guacamole and chips, a Korean fried chicken taco, and a rotisserie chicken taco. The guacamole was excellent and tasted very fresh! The fried chicken taco was slightly greasy, but I didn’t mind and found it to be delicious. The rotisserie chicken taco was my favorite of the two, but my first bite was right into a bone! I had to quadruple check that my tooth wasn’t cracked afterwards. The taco itself was amazing and almost made up for it, but it was crazy to find a bone, especially that big, hidden inside. The tacos are awesome, but be careful before you dig in.

Their food is amazing!! Their tacos are not like regular Mexican food truck taco rather they came up with their own variations in taste. The have so many options from meats, veggies and fishes that you will easily find something that fits your tastes. I am not a big fan of tofu but their “Nashville hot tofu” was something I will get again !! We have tried several items out of which I would recommend Mexi Cali shrimp, sweet chile shrimp and Nashville hoy tofu. They serve the tacos in a taco holder tray which adds extra ease to handle it. Environment is good and they have plenty of parking spots.

First time having food from Velevt Taco. Wasn’t bad, but wasn’t great. Food looked great, the presentation was on point. But taste was lacking. Not some place I would come as a first choice. They do have to complete with MODS Pizza next door when the hipe of a new place wears off. No doubt this store will make it being so close to the college. Seeing the kitchen at work was a nice touch. Watch everything being made. Two things I would suggest to this location. 1. Get someone in the dining area at all times to clean. Almost every group of people that came in had to clean thier own table before even getting food. Not one worked in the 45 minutes that we were there came out to clean anything. Cleanness of the dining area needs improvement a great deal. 2. Dining are is far to small. Once this store starts making profit they need to look into expanding the dining area. College is out and not even a pick season around here. We well be coming back in a month or so to try it again. Some places are always worth a second try. Especially when they are so new.

Update. Went back Saturday and gave it another go, and everything was great! The service was on point and so was the food! I figured they were just working out the kinks. So, I’ve changed my 3 star rating to 5 stars! Great Place & Glad They Are Here!

Had the shrimp tacos and the brisket nachos. The food was great, I’m allergic to cilantro, and they accommodated me just fine. Both items had a little spice, just enough to make you say hello, but not enough to make your kids cry.
