The velvet taco has some excellent and creative rakes on the classic taco format.The chicken and waffle taco combines crispy fried chicken with a pressed waffle stepping in for the tortilla. It has a sweet maple aroma paired with the savory chicken and sauces.The Mexicali shrimp taco is refreshing with fresh salsa and Baja sauce paired with seasoned shrimp.
Loved it! The vibe, the food, the ease of it. While it has plenty of seating, this is not sit down. Order at the counter and wait for your name to be announced. These are not "traditional" tacos, but inventive and amazing use of the concept. With about 4-5 offerings in each protein category: pork, beef, chicken, veggie, there is something for everyone! Ingredients tasted fresh and flavorful. I tried two different tacos, the shrimp and brisket and couldn't decide which one I was more obsessed with. The elote was creamy and well balanced without too much of anything to mask the flavorful, crisp corn.Three hard drinks on tap and a large selection of canned beer, including many local brews.This is a chain, but doesn't feel like it, in all the best ways!
Being from California, there is no shortage of Hispanic and Latin flavors from the northern side of California to the southern end. On my first trip to Texas, this is where my friend took me to get a taste of the flavors with a twist.From the outside looking in, this location doesn't look like much. Parking lot is tiny and the storefront itself. But walking in, I was pleasantly surprised. The layout is perfect for the spot however the downfall is that it will get packed, so arrive early or prepare to wait until seating is available. But there is also outdoor seating as well.Everything on the menu looked great but we settled on four tacos: chicken and waffle, rotisserie chicken, steak, and the salmon. All of them were perfectly seasoned.I was really excited for the chicken and waffle and when it came out, very impressed with the shell which was in fact a waffle. The syrup on the chicken was perfect. The only thing I was upset about was that the shells broke apart so easily. This makes sense because the tacos were loaded and soaked with flavor.But the one item that stole my heart...now that's the appetizer, the one and only elote x chips with cheese. Great cheese with the sweetness of the corn and the saltiness of the chip. Genius.Definitely a must try. Not in Fort Worth? Don't worry they have locations in Atlanta, Illinois, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas of course.
I love velvet taco so much. I take a flight from NJ to eat here. This place is amazing. The drinks are absolutely delicious. The variety of tacos is plentiful. So many veggie options
3rd time we’ve been to Velvet Taco and it never disappoints. Great selection of tacos, including a monthly one-off special. We had several different tacos, including a veggie and a seafood, and they were (for the most part) great. The falafel was just okay, but the rest were great. Winners were the Chicken Tikka and the Slow-Roasted Brisket. We’ll definitely be back to try more!
I have an issue when I’m served a plain taco that has a huge chicken bone on top. It’s not like it was the fastest thing to get an order out here to not notice that. I’m not sure if he was the manager or not and didn’t catch his name he did rectify the situation and made me new tacos, so I commend him for that. My other tacos were delicious. I recommend the taco of the month while you can get it was a honey chipotle chicken. Also the beer bartered cauliflower was top notch. Their hot sauce could use some major improvements, unfortunately that’s gonna be more of a corporate call.
Atmosphere was late night friendly and up beat with great food open really late. My husband raved about the amount of meat on His taco , and he eats a lot! We had shrimp and grits ,south west taco and brisket nachos.
Tacos were fantastic. The menu is diverse, blows away any other taco shop I have been to. Fresh ingredients and large portions compared to other places. The red velvet cake was great also. Not a ton of seating or parking but even when busy we were able to seat 5. Will definitely go back to try more.
Outstanding just like the others in Dallas and Collin county except a bit smaller. Got one taco and the delicious elote sweet corn w/chips. More than enough for me. Surprise visit as in the area for the day and had only short time for lunch which one of my classmates knew about. Limited parking our front during lunch hour.
Everything is amazing,a must try!!!
