Wow… Amazing food. 2 tacos will fill you up. Recommend the sweet chili shrimp, elote (WOW), and anything with steak – great grilled flavor. Asked for a to-go trays and they threw in free chips +++

When you want to try something new and different, give Velvet Taco a try. You won’t be disappointed. It’s a twist on the classic taco.

The Tacos were so good and the queso too. I had the Fish & Chips, the Mediterranean and mushrooms, and the Korean fried rice. All three were so unique and very flavorful. Plus the red curry coconut queso was really a great side. I would definitely recommend. Very friendly staff and I can’t wait to go back and try something new on the menu.

I have the 3 1/2 and 11 1/2 both were really good. The chicken was so moist and the beef with the chimichurri was on cooked and seasoned well. I have the curry, coconut, queso and chips and I’m just going to say you’re in for an experience if you like to explore new flavors.

Amazing, delicious tocos – so many to choose from and not too spicy. I’m hard of hearing so I love how they have a loudspeaker to announce how the order is ready. The tacos were fresh and the flour tortillas were home made and hot. They were better than Torchys, which was previously my favorite. Yum

Venturing into Velvet Taco, we discovered a refreshing, one-of-a-kind boutique taco joint that, despite being part of a chain, exuded an air of exclusivity and individuality. A culinary adventure awaited us, with each dish offering a unique spin on the classic taco.

In my Wyclef Jean’s voice, “Someone please call 9-1-1!” It should be a crime to make tacos this delicious and take a trip around the world! Who does that? VELVET TACOS!!! Just like that! OMG!!!

We LOVE Velvet Taco! Used to live in Houston and have been to their other locations all the time until we moved out. We came all the way from DC just to have their tacos again because they are THAT good. I really love the shrimp and grits and fish and chips tacos but honestly you can’t go wrong with any option. Their queso and red velvet cake are amazing too. I recommend them 10000%

They asked for a tip despite me putting the order in myself, having to collect it myself, and have several signs in the store telling me to clean up after myself. For $5 a taco, that’s unacceptable. Tacos were fine taste wise.
