Creative tacos with bold flavors, fun vibe, and friendly staff! The waffle taco and Kobe smash taco are a must try!

Food/Drinks: Ordered four tacos: the Chimichurri Steak, Quesa Birria, Hatch Chile Pork, and Mexi-Cali Shrimp. Apart from the Chimichurri Steak being a bit overdone, the tacos generally were pretty decent and flavor-packed--the Quesa Birria clinched the top spot! And if you want to take the heat up a notch, the hot sauces they offer are a nice accompaniment. Also had a side of Guac and Elote, which were fine. The Sweet Tea, however, unfortunately didn't live up to its name--could have been a tad sweeter. Service: The person at the register was kind enough to share what they'd recommend. Food came out rather quickly, despite it being a busy Friday night. However, didn't realize until after the fact that the two Say What?! combos we ordered at $15 each could have been one Velvet for Two combo at $25--would have been nice to be made aware of that, but I take full blame for not seeing the small sign on the counter. Ambiance: Casual, modern, industrial. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza. read more

The worst Velvet Taco. This is close to my work and every time I order from there, they do a horrible job. Stopped in today hoping it would be better. It was far worse. Fish and chips taco, the better on the fried fish wasn't cooked. It tasted so bad I couldn't finish. I work less than 5 min away and by the time I got back to my office, the WTF burger taco was covered in a pool of grease, the tortilla was soggy and fell apart. A waste of $20 for two tacos that were gross. read more

Velvet Taco - Uncooked batter - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

A friend has been raving about Velvet Taco, so we were finally able to try it via carry out. I absolutely love that they offer veg-friendly options. My hubby ordered all three of the veg tacos- Hot Tofu, Paneer, and fried cauliflower. I opted for the Paneer, Salmon and Shrimp. We also shared the white queso and chips app. The queso was unique compared to other restaurants and we both liked it but not enough to think about later. The hubs get really liked the paneer and also the tofu taco. Although the tofu was termed "hot", it wasn't according to him. He did not care for the cauliflower taco. The paneer was different and I didn't necessarily enjoy the texture. Oh, well. The salmon taco and shrimp taco were outstanding. The tacos were stuffed full of fresh ingredients. I will definitely order again! read more

I've been hearing great things about Velvet Taco in Dallas and had to see for myself--and I'm so glad I did! I stopped in and tried the Chicken & Waffle Taco, Quesabirria Duo, and the Grilled Salmon Taco--with a couple of frozen margaritas--and let me tell you, everything was outstanding. You order your food, pick it up, and sit wherever you like. It's beautiful outside today, so we chose to enjoy our meal on the patio. The Chicken & Waffle Taco was the perfect balance of sweet and savory--the tangy flavor with that gravy had me hooked from the first bite. The Grilled Salmon Taco was another favorite; the mix of corn, peppers, and whatever that magical topping was brought everything together beautifully. And that Birria Duo? Absolutely delicious, especially when dipped in the sauce. Everything was seasoned perfectly and bursting with flavor, and the frozen margaritas were just the right mix--smooth, cold, and refreshing. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and will definitely be coming back. If you see me here again, mind your business--I'm just chasing that Chicken & Waffle Taco high. read more

We went to Velvet taco for dinner. As I walked in I loved their modern dining area, the menu posted on wall and the self serving process. They also had lots of outdoor seats. We put in order for bunch of tacos and a side of guacamole. The guacamole was delicious, loved its flavor. Our tacos were ready in about ten minutes. I found it pretty cool how they call everyone's name over announcement speakers. The tacos were huge, filled with lots of ingredients. I started with the spicy tikka chicken taco. Never thought I'd see the tikka sauce in a taco. I actually liked it a lot, with its white sauce drizzle, tasted really good. Then I had the chimichurri steak. It was decent. Finally had the maxi cali shrimp, that was a best of all. It had guacamole, pica de gallo, onion, corn, all on top of delicious grilled shrimp. Special mention of the smokey sauce they had in the bottles. Excellent addition to the tacos. We cleaned up the table after we were done. Overall this was a pleasant dinner experience. read more

Stopped by this location for the first time. Staff was great here and restaurant was clean. Always hard to decide what I want because their menu selection is so diverse. It is nice that no matter your dietary restriction, they'll most likely have something for you. We got the chips and triple dip and we were shocked at how much they gave you. They did not skimp at all. Some tacos were better than others, but usually they're pretty good! Service was great. read more

The folks inside were super friendly and had quick service. It was a cool, modern inside and just walk through the line and order before sitting down. The food had an authentic taste and it was very long grain basmati type rice which you would typically have for Indian food. Not what I expected, but it allowed for extra hot sauce for the dish. read more

Ordered the angus brisket taco and queso blanco from this location. My food was ready super fast. The location was clean. I enjoyed the taco! I only get one because it's so big and packed with so much so it definitely does the job. The queso was probably the worst queso I've ever had in my life but I think that it's simply an acquired taste. I believe the salsa is what I didn't like. I was really excited to try it initially because it had chimichurri in it which I love and thought was super unique to include. I won't get the queso again, or if I do I'll ask for it without the salsa, but either way I'll be back for that brisket taco! read more

Very good, fancy taco place. I have not been to Velvet Taco before and it seems nice, I don't know how it compares to other Velevet Tacos (TBD). I liked the variety of taco options, the chicken and waffle taco and the grilled steak taco were delicious. It was also nice that they had lemon and lime available, along with hot sauces that you can add onto the taco. The service was fast and efficient. I came during a busy time. Was welcoming. The bathroom though was busy and people had to wait. Also, the cleanliness could be a little bit better. It also was a little bit difficult to drive into the taco place based on the structure of the streets. read more

Cute spot!! Obsessed with the set up and decor, the colors and layout, they did a phenomenal job on this place. Good parking situation. Eric's service was excellent! I am very picky and I may have confused him while ordering but he was very apologetic and they had no problem remaking my bowl the way I wanted and it was absolutely worth the wait! He even hand delivered it to me, very lovely service. Plenty of seating for any group, big or small, indoor or outdoor. Just enough options for everyone, yes even veggie tacos and such.. I got a rotisserie chicken bowl (two days in a row) and it was DIVINE both times. So flavorful and perfect portion size. Prices are right, you get what you pay for and this stuff is affordable and the bomb! I couldn't decide to what I enjoyed more between the rice, chips, salsa, beans or chicken. Every element of my meal was spectacular. It is clearly made with love and you can taste it. (; Only thing I would change is that the music is a tad loud for my liking but it was good music and everything about my experience was wonderful so I can't possibly dock any points for that. Will absolutely come back whenever I visit. Highly recommend! read more

Avoid their gift cards - Absolute nightmare experience "I am beyond disappointed with Velvet Taco. My friend gifted me a $50 card for Christmas (purchased at the Dallas Parkway location), but when I tried to use it at the Downtown Dallas branch, they claimed it only had $7 on it. I had to pay the difference out of pocket. When I went back to the Parkway location on Dec 30th to fix this, the customer service was appalling. Despite having the receipt, the original card, and the purchase date, they couldn't track it. I was treated like I was there begging for 'free' food rather than a paying customer. They eventually reloaded it as if they were doing me a 'charity' favor, then forced me to wait in a massive line all over again. I don't even care about the $50 anymore--I will never return and I strongly advise against buying their gift cards. They ruined a Christmas gift and a New Year's Eve plan with their lack of empathy and terrible management." read more

Velvet Taco - Angus brisket and kobe smash burger - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

It's so many taco places to try. So many. And I am upset with myself for not trying this one sooner. I have seen this chain in Houston and Dallas. This weekend I was able to try them by a recommendation and it did not disappoint. I have the rotisserie chicken taco, rice and a chicken tikki taco. They were all delicious. This location stays open until 4 and we were here pretty late and it was still packed. The wait wasn't long for the tacos and everything came out hot. I definitely plan on going to another location go get velvet taco again. read more

The margaritas and tacos were absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. Unfortunately, the night was ruined by the cashier on duty. She didn't have an ounce of charisma, acted like serving us was a burden, and was completely unfriendly. To make things worse, the place was a disaster. Tables were dirty, trash was everywhere, and -- brace yourself -- there were cockroaches crawling around the dining area. Yes, actual cockroaches. It was shocking. Despite all that, I somehow managed to enjoy my margarita and tacos, but the overall experience left a bad taste in my mouth that not even the margarita could wash away. This restaurant urgently needs more staff to clean and to serve with at least a little kindness. read more

I love a fusion taco and these might be the most fusionest tacos. I have no complaints my team left happy and full! On the final day of a conference my team decided to walk over to Velvet Taco, a much discussed taco spot by attendees and my uncle who is local. My uncle mentioned the elote so that was an obvious must order but I struggled to estimate how many tacos to order. The answer is TWO TACOS. These babies are not street tacos they're big 'ol tacos stuffed with toppings. I foolishly got three: Fried Paneer- 2/10 this was my least favorite because I was expecting big Indian flavors and got more bruschetta/caprese/Italian vibes. Would suggest they up the spice and use fenugreek not basil. Rotisserie chicken - 4/10 this was a perfectly good taco but didn't wow me. I ended up scooping out the toppings and ditching the tortilla. Brisket - 9/10 I loved this taco it had great flavor contrast and the cheese on the outside of the tortilla added great flavor without making it too greasy. Elotes - 7/10 a little too much crema and not enough bite for my preferences but definitely tasty Queso- 8/10 yum Tots- I liked the salsa. No rating because I only ate half a tot as this was my coworkers order and I was stuffed. I tried the margarita, it was fine, not overly sweet but not fresh tasting. read more

Yelp 100 - # 4 Jan 22, 2023 Ordered the #2 Rotisserie Chicken with queso, roasted corn pico, salsa, and cilantro on a corn tortilla. I love Velvet Taco and love to try different menu items one at a time. Each item is so flavorful that sometimes it can be a bit much for my taste buds. On my next visit, I plan on trying their red velvet cake and brisket nachos with slow roasted angus brisket, blue corn chips, roasted corn pico, lime crema, chimichurri, queso, and cilantro. read more

This place definitely has cool decor. Service was friendly and courteous but the main reason I wanted to go here was to try out the tacos! Sadly, I was disappointed in general. The flavors fell short but still gets 3 stars for the taco set up and ambiance. I tried 6 tacos and their red curry queso and only liked the Kobe Smash Burger Taco. The queso was too thick and small for the price. read more

Velvet Taco - Tacos and Red Curry Coconut Queso - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Overall a good experience. Stopped in for a late dinner while traveling for work. I had one Mediterranean Mushroom taco and an order of Brisket Nachos. both were very flavorful. The taco was a mix of cold and hot ingredients but a perfect blend of flavors. The nachos had everything I love but the toppings were baked on to the top layer of chips, leaving me with too many chips at the end. The bathrooms are single use and clean enough, so no need to govern yourself by the gender suggestion on the door. read more

Food is crap. Craaap.. but fine, it's late night food. Rude. I had no alcohol in me, when I went to get a margarita, some teenage cashier said "I can't sell you alcohol, because you have been driving already". When we asked for the manager, he said "oh you ordered 3 tacos and alcohol" which was bullshit and he got the wrong ppl. But did he even acknowledge that he messed up? Nope. I repeat, food is garbage. Go to torchy's . read more

I had no idea how close a velvet taco was to my job! I went here today on my lunch and let's be honest - velvet taco never misses. I love everything I I've had here, today I ordered the #12 & #22. The only reason I gave 4 vs 5 stars was because service was slow and the food took a bit longer than I feel it should. Also a lot of the tables were still dirty not allowing you many options of a place to sit. I feel if those two things were addressed it was guaranteed warrant a 5 star review. I plan to revisit though - because I'm a taco lover for life. Xoxo. read more

The tacos are always so good! My favorite are the Mexicali shrimp tacos and of course their velvet cake

Service and food was excellent! Could not recommend this location more. I loved the sangria and birria taco.

The food is amazing! With so many different global tacos to choose from, it can be hard to choose. I was with a group of friends, and it's a great place to get a quick bite to eat. A couple of comments: they need to turn on the A/C. The weather was just not conducive to having the windows open - it was too hot. Second comment, the lights over our table were burnt out. Small details, but it matters. read more

Awesome taco shop right off the tollway in the Addison area! What makes this place great is it's the ultimate late night stop for anyone looking to grab some grub on the weekends. On Fridays and Saturday's, this place stays open till 4am and is always a vibe till close. The staff is always attentive and friendly, despite the late night hours too. The only hold back about this place is the price of their tacos... the quality is there but at the end of the day, I'd take a lesser taco, so I don't have to pay $4-$5 per taco. However, if money isn't an ordeal, you really can't go wrong here, especially if it's after midnight and it's the weekend! read more

amazing customer service. Everybody was very nice. Highly recommend this is by far the best velvet taco I've been to.

VT is one of my favorite taco places in Dallas, even amongst the stiff local tex-mex competition. And yes, I know this is a chain. I'm okay with that. I say bring one to Jersey City, please and thank you. I love this location in particular. It's super close to 75, and there's always cars around so it's never quiet, but I enjoy watching the traffic so it's fine by me. It's sometimes annoying to find parking, but that's part of the charm. Most importantly, I love the tacos. You'll definitely find some classics, but there are some really outside the box options too, and I almost always try to get at least something different when I go, but the buffalo chicken (#1) and the Mexi-Cali shrimp (#17) are usually my top two. The third (and sometimes fourth) can be wild cards, but brisket or fish are also high on my list. Pair your tacos with a local beer on tap (or a marg) and you won't regret this lunch (or dinner) decision at all. read more
