Sadly, it was dry and lacking flavor in 3 of the 4. The birria ramen was good and season well though. Here at this location they offer Coke related fountain drinks and bottled sodas. The exterior of the restraint is nice and had a lot of plants outside. You can sit in or outside the service was quick and courteous. The parking lot is small for the amount of shops in the center but we did t have trouble during the week. At this time I can't personally recommend the birria but it may be worth your visit to try their taco menu.

I went back today, Saturday the 21st and the truck was gone. The big issue for me at first was I didn't understand the menu. It was written in paint on the windows and I couldn't see it. Then they got a nice big bright menu on the side of the truck (see attached photo). That was much easier to read, but it was still in Spanish and I didn't understand what it was I was ordering. I took pictures of the menu, went home and translated the menu. From that point on I went to the truck at least twice a week confident in what I was ordering. So sad to see it gone. I'm guessing, if they weren't getting enough business it's because not enough people could read the menu. Scott

So got a steak taco, barbacoa taco and a chicken quesadilla. The staff was extremely nice. I explained I couldn't have any cross contamination with pork she made sure the kitchen knew, which was greatly appreciated. So the barbacoa was ok, steak was very good and the chicken in the quesadilla was probably my least favorite only because I'm not sure if it's meant to be grilled, fried or simmered. But the chicken seemed like it was boiled then put in the quesadilla and fried on the flat top which would have been fine but the chicken seemed quite dry. Maybe I came in at a bad time not sure because when I had it at the truck I was dreaming about it for weeks so maybe it was just not my day but over all it wasn't bad and the 3 star is more because my expectations were set based on the other location. I am definitely going to be back to chase that first time flavor again but this time it just missed the mark unfortunately.

Velvet Taco in Round Rock just put a little joy in my lunch break. I ordered through Uber Eats…read morebecause I was starving and didn't have a second to leave the office. I tried the Rotisserie Chicken Bowl for the first time, and baby... this bowl was GIVING. Layers of flavor, fresh ingredients, creamy avocado notes, charred tomato goodness -- it all came together like a tiny choir of angels. And then the queso blanco arrived -- for FREE, might I add -- with those blue corn chips that were crispy, salty, and everything I needed in that moment. The queso was so good it almost stole the spotlight from the bowl. The portion was generous too; I couldn't finish it all and saved it for the next day. And don't laugh, but it tasted even better after it sat overnight. The flavors said, "Let us settle and bless you properly." Would I get this again? Yes, ma'am. Velvet Taco went straight on my "dependable lunch time heroes" list. If you're hungry, busy, and craving something that hits the spot, this is it.

Food took over 10 Minutes but arrived mostly cold. The flour tortillas were cold and stale. Some of the meats were cold inside. Very disappointing for the price.

The nachos were a let down. Portion was small and we were hoping for melted shredded cheese. It was also missing pico. They charged us $4 for a side of pico.

My husband had the crispy taco plate and he said the meat was too salty. There were 4 of us, got 4 entrees, 1 topo chico, 3 tap waters, a side of pico and after tip we paid $70.

Seat yourself - nothing fancy. The vibe here is local Mexican restaurant. The server was nice but became more engaged when I spoke Spanish to her. She greeted us with chips and two warm bowls of charro beans, which were absolutely delicious. My husband had a Cuban-style torta which was huge and he inhaled. It's not a Cubano - it's a traditional torta with ham and cheese added. He had fajita steak in his and said it was phenomenal. Honestly we could have split this and both been full. I have the taquitos plate. I went with chicken breast and al pastor (2 of each). Came with optional cilantro and onions (don't skip) and grilled onions/pepper plus a side. I couldn't finish it. The chicken was soooo good - very flavorful and not dry, some of the best chicken breast I've had in a while. The Al pastor was good too, but the chicken was exceptional, which I never thought I'd prefer! Under $30 with drinks and tip, this was very very good. The chicken soup others were enjoying also looked stellar - nobody was looking up from their bowl. Great little find. Will definitely be back!

Parking is pretty easy: a good amount of parking on in a small lot and on the street, but there's always available spots due to the low amount of traffic in the area. The place is small with only 6-ish tables, but again, not a lot of traffic, so there's usually a few tables available if you're dining in. The staff is super nice and friendly. They have a nice variety of tacos, with a bunch of classic and modern versions. My go to order is the Al Pastor, Barbacoa, and the chips and salsa. The Al Pastor is one of the best versions I've had, with pineapple chunks enhancing the flavor from the crispy pork. The barbacoa is tender and fatty, an big punch of flavor. The red salsa that is super spicy as well. A bit too spicy for me, but has wonderful flavor. This place is looking to be our newest default taco place.

" My favorite breakfast, a burrito with chorizo, egg, cheese and potato and I got it at 2pm since they serve breakfast ALL DAY! There is a slight variation to their "cacajuetes" salsa. It was good but, I think the other location uses more pepitas and maybe a touch of sugar and salt? The place is super clean and the chips are definitely made in house, not sure what the other reviewers were taking about. Maybe they came when there was an off day? I think the complaints other reviewers have left is due to not understanding the cultural difference. The kind folks that work here, some don't speak English so maybe it was a communication break down. There's a lot of flavor! This is definitely NOT Tex-Mex! Thank God for that! Oddly, they did serve me "queso" which I don't care for but, there was really good.

It's more of an outdoor, picnic-style setup that honestly feels like you're at a family barbecue, which made the experience even better. The food was excellent. The birria and barbacoa were rich, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell the meat is cooked the traditional way. They also offer traditional cuts like cabeza and lengua. I tried them even though they're not really my personal preference, but I appreciated that they offer those authentic options. What really stood out was the hospitality. The gentleman working there was awesome. He showed us the barbecue pit and even gave me a taste of fresh lamb barbacoa straight from the pit, which was incredibly tender and flavorful. At the end they were already cleaning up and closing, but I asked for a jamaica and he still brought it over and didn't even charge me for it. Great food, authentic cooking, and genuinely friendly people. It felt more like a family cookout than a restaurant, and I'd definitely come back.
