Went to the Velvet Taco last night for the first time, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was amazing - my son and I each had the two taco combos. We both had the spicy tikka chicken taco, then I had the Fish N' Chips taco, and he had the French Dip Taco. For our sides, I had the Elote (more of an esquite, as it is served off the cob) and he had the Red Curry Coconut Queso, and we also got a side of Guac. The food all around was just top notch; the flavors all worked amazing together, and the tacos are large enough that two were more than enough to sate our appetites. On top of all this, the staff were super friendly and helpful. Jasmine took our order and offered suggestions and advice, and could not have been more friendly or professional. There was another young lady whose name I did not catch, who brought us bags and to go boxes when we were finished, and she was also incredibly polite, engaging, and friendly. All in all, a great experience, and I will definitely be going back! read more

From my son: I am very impressed on how good the kids meal is. When I tried a chicken tender, it was delicious! The tender part and the other essential parts of a tender was just right. My mom and dad also loved the tacos. They were very amazed about the size,toppings and flavors. She and he thought they were very high in the good side. Velvet taco is very good food place they had gone to. Velvet taco is awesome! read more

Taco lovers, front and center -- roll call. If you're craving a little creativity, The Velvet is absolutely THAT girl. This spot has become one of my go‑to late‑night fixes. I can slide in for a quick bite or settle in with a little drinky‑drink, and let me tell you... The drinks do NOT disappoint. And yes -- the vibes hit just as hard as the food. Now, I'm a pescatarian, so I can't speak for the whole menu, but the MexiCali bowl and taco have my heart. The other seafood options don't really do it for me -- fish tacos just aren't my thing. Alright, I'll share my order, but you have to promise this stays between us... Remove the corn salsa. Double the protein. Add both salsas. Trust me. What I love most is how the menu plays with a simple concept and turns it into something fun, bold, and totally its own. It's tacos... but with personality -- and honestly, that's the energy I'm always here for. read more

Food was good. I had the street corn w/ guac & the chips. A chicken bowl & it was good per usual Had three tacos & tried the waffle & it was amazing!! I even had a margarita swirl Service was normal nothing to scream about. Had to revisit for the year! Will definitely be back! read more

Yesterday while in the area, I stopped by Velvet Taco. It had been a minute so I was shocked and excited about the combo. Of course, I jumped on it - 2 tacos, 1 side and a drink for $15! It's a steak. My food was delicious and I feel like the taco shells got bigger. Now I will say, I was a little sad they sold out WTF catfish, but that just means it was good. Nice and speedy service. Great environment! read more

Wow this was a hidden gem ! Some of my friends suggested this. .. Google maps takes you to a parking within the building which is about 7$ I think '.. we tried to go around looking for parking outside and a block away but nothing was available . Parking is the major headache with this restaurant. Service was awesome . Quick billing and very quick service .. loved the ambience inside and outside too. So many tables inside and outside to sit and eat . We chose a table outside . Was a bit noisy but was good . They also serve beers and it was good . Food is just super awesome here . I like the concept of single servings and also a like a lunch box with a combo offer . Price wise it was really not that expensive . We got a mix and match of tacos and mostly all were good . Beer battered cauliflower . Nashville hot tofu , fried paneer - all 3 were awesome but my personal fav was Nashville hot tofu .. their sauces are also good . Wanted to give. A 4 star but this place deserves a 5 star - value for money and food taste ! read more

My first time trying it, and I will be back!! Everything tasted so fresh and intentionally-made. The margarita (which was only $5) had a great flavor, even though it was pre-mixed! Very busy atmosphere due to the popular location, but great/fast service nevertheless. read more

Tried velvet tacos and the tortillas were super soft and fulfilling. It is a nice grab and go spot for lunch. The chicken taco was made with a chicken tender, and I realized I'm more of a shredded chicken person. Just my preference, but worth mentioning. The place has both indoor and outdoor seating, which made it easy to settle in and enjoy. Overall, a really solid taco stop. It was busy during lunch but the service was good despite how busy it was. read more

The tacos were decent but there was nothing major about the experience that would cause me to visit this location in the future. It felt like a fast food taco place. read more

Velvet Taco - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Short version: We had a really enjoyable meal at this Velvet Taco location at the Interlock in West Midtown. The food was delicious and the staff was nice, though they forgot something that came with our order. We're fans of this place. Long version: Velvet Taco is a national chain of American taco / Tex-Mex fast-casual restaurants. It opened its first location in Dallas, Texas in 2011. There are currently three metro Atlanta locations: (1) the original in Buckhead, which opened on September 9, 2019, (2) this one at the Interlock, which opened on June 14, 2021, and (3) an OTP (suburb) location in Dunwoody, which opened on July 1, 2024. In addition to this location, I've been to the Buckhead location. In general, my experiences at both locations were good in terms of food, service, and atmosphere. The environments are casual and fun and this location in particular had a great music playlist. The parking situation at this location isn't great because the attached Interlock garage is expensive and Velvet Taco does not validate. Cheaper parking alternatives include Westside Provisions District across the street and nearby street parking. On April 19, 2025, parking costs were as follows: * Attached Interlock garage: Free for 30 minutes then you're forced to choose a minimum of 2 hours at $15.45; $18.45 for 3 hours, $21.45 for 4 hours (ParkMobile Zone 3232) * Westside Provisions garage across the street (1100 Howell Mill Rd): Starts at $4.50 for 0-2 hours and $6.50 for 2-4 hours (LAZ Parking, gated) * Westside Provisions surface lot across the street (1198 Howell Mill Rd): Starts at $5.10 for 2 hours and $7.10 for 4 hours (ParkMobile Zone 225) * Brady Ave NW street parking: Starts at $2.35 for 1 hour, $4.35 for 2 hours, $6.35 for 3 hours (Parking.com Zone 51701) It's odd that restaurants at the Interlock, such as Velvet Taco and Kinjo Room, do not validate parking, but restaurants at Interlock Tower, like Kura Revolving Sushi Bar and Wagyu House, do. What up with that? Here's what my wife and I had at this Velvet Taco: Boozy Libations: * Kick Ass Margarita on the Rocks ("Regular kick ass," $9.00) * Sangrita Swirl ("Regular kick ass," $9.00) Note: The large sizes are referred to as "Large bad ass." Pork Tacos: * #9 Quesa Birria Duo ($6.25) - slow-roasted pulled pork, Gruyere cheese, queso listo, pickled red onion, cilantro, griddled corn tortillas, birria consome for dipping - the staff forgot to give us the consome * #8 Korean Fried Rice ($5.50) - slow-roasted pulled pork, gochujang, egg fried rice, red chile aioli, pickled red onion, jalapenos, grilled pineapple, cilantro, flour tortilla Chick Tacos: * #3 Spicy Tikka Chicken ($5.50) - crisp tenders, spicy tikka sauce, buttered cilantro basmati rice, raita crema, Thai basil, flour tortilla Beef Tacos: * #12 Slow-roasted Angus Brisket ($6.25) - barbacoa style, red chile aioli, avocado, roasted corn pico, queso blanco, micro cilantro, comte cheese-encrusted flour tortilla * #11.5 Chimichurri Steak ($6.25) - grilled steak, buttered cilantro basmati rice, chimichurri, avocado, pickled fresnos, queso fresco, cilantro, flour tortilla Sea Tacos: * #17 Mexi-Cali Shrimp ($5.95) - blackened shrimp, napa slaw, Sriracha aioli, avocado, roasted corn pico, micro cilantro, flour tortilla * #16 Fish 'n Chips ($6.25) - beer-battered cod, curry aioli, French fries, malt vinegar, napa slaw, flour tortilla Veg Tacos: * #5 Fried Paneer ($5.25) - tomato chutney, tikka sauce, raita crema, Thai basil, flour tortilla Sides: * Queso Blanco ($5.95) - chimichurri, Velvet Taco heat sauce, cilantro, blue corn chips * Elote Guac ($6.50) - classic guac, roasted corn, queso listo, Valentina, citrus lime crema, queso fresco, lime, blue corn chips The tacos were creative, tasty, and filling. I was surprised at how good the Spicy Tikka Chicken taco tasted, with tender meat and pretty true Indian flavors. Same goes for the Fried Paneer. The taco recipes here work. The only taco I wouldn't order again is the Slow-roasted Angus Brisket. It was just a bit too rich and dense for me. Also, I don't think we got the cheese-encrusted tortilla that is supposed to come with it and, as mentioned above, they forgot to give us the consome with the Quesa Birria Duo -- those tacos aren't complete without it. Overall, the taco ingredients were fresh and well proportioned, and they did a nice job with the presentation. The dips with blue corn chips were fantastic as well and I recommend them. The drinks were strong and satisfying. Try the hot sauces. Aside from the missing consome, service was good. Everything came out in reasonable time. Interior notes: Single restroom each for men and ladies. The men's room was reasonably clean, but the overhead vent was clogged in dust and badly in need of cleaning. The "Sea Tacos" menu board had fallen off the wall and was partially covered. The light fixture above it was out. The glass door facing 14th Street was dirty. Otherwise, the interior was fine. read more

Velvet taco never disappoints! We went to one in Texas so we were so excited to see one in ATL! There were 12 of us(4 kids/8 adults) and they got every single meal items correct! And it came out super fast for how busy they were! Flavors are on point and delicious! I love the rotisserie chicken taco and spicy tikka taco! My husband got the paneer taco and fish n chips! Both came with a side of chips and our choice of dip so we choose the 2 different queso's which were divine! $14.99 for 2 tacos and a side can't be beat! For how busy they were-the shop was clean and well maintained! Thank you velvet taco!!! read more

5 stars for the food, vibe & drinks. Came on Cinco de Mayo. First time ever eating here. Ordering was super easy. The food came out quickly. Ordered two Smash Burger tacos and one Shrimp taco. Both were AMAZING!!! The shrimp had lots of sauce, filling and flavor. Really good. The Smash Burger is a restaurant favorite and it lived up to the hype. The frozen margarita was perfect!! You can sit in the restaurant, outside, or even take your food to the establishment/ bar next door. Highly recommend!!! read more

You already can tell by the name that this will be far from an authentic style of tacos, which I don't mind because at least you know what you're getting yourself into. I came here after a night out and the food did what it had to do.

Velvet Taco - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Some of the tacos are mouth-wateringly amazing and some of them are dry, soggy, or miss the mark, I've got to say. The service is very good overall, but the first time I went, they lost my order in the kitchen (admittedly during peak hours). Every time I go after that, I have to prepare for the off chance my order takes way longer than expected. Their seating in the back is great, where it's cozier and more secluded than the main seating area - main seating is near the ordering station and where they only have high-top seating. They announce orders on the loudspeaker, so even when it's quiet and not during peak hours, any conversations can get jarringly interrupted. Their line for their ordering station is right in the path of any foot traffic for people leaving, or people from the back area heading to pick up their orders - so it can get awkward and people bump into each other, or swivel around each other, and not everyone is paying attention because they're looking at the menu or chatting with others in line. Their food is great enough for me to keep coming back. I enjoy the place, it's only these few details that matter to me enough to rate it as 3 read more

If you are looking for customer service it's not here, but the tacos are pretty good though. Hanging out with high school and college kids they recommended this place after a game. The smash burger was ok but could've used a bit of seasoning on the beef. The Mexi Cali shrimp was sweet and tangy to the taste but very, very spicy! The kids enjoyed it. The adults weren't too impressed but all and all a worthwhile meal experience. read more

Let me start off by saying this has quickly become one of my favorite taco spots. The variety on the menu is fantastic, and the decor really adds to the charm with its great sense of humor. I especially loved the sign that says, "The Soup of the Day is Kick Ass Margaritas"--and I can confirm, they are indeed kickass! I'm giving four stars only because the tabletops weren't as clean as I'd like. On the plus side, the bathrooms were tidy, so it kind of balanced out. The service was also nice; the staff is friendly and informative. As for the food, I tried the Mexi-Cali and the Spicy Tikka Chicken. The Mexi-Cali was my favorite by hands down. The Spicy Chicken was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I wanted to give it a try anyway--no regrets there however I'm sure my stomach would agree lol. read more

My son and I popped in Velvet Taco after visiting Puttshack next door, and--although showing quite a bit of promise--missed the mark in important ways. first, the good: decor is hip and fresh, and the store was clean. the joint is well-situated in a popular retail destination at Interlock. we were also helped by a nice gal who put up with my son carrying on about nonsense while we were trying to order lol. The tacos were obviously well thought out with tons of different options, but in the end, didn't deliver taste-wise. our fish taco got served with a mustard-based sauce which, I can say confidently, is the wrong way to go. I intentionally ordered non-spicy items but literally everything--from the guac to the tacos themselves--had too much (what I think was) jalapeño in them. also, we ordered take away and I noticed our food literally sitting on the counter ready to go before it got handed to us, and the food was cold. the folks didn't seem very motivated behind the counter if I'm honest. lots of promise here, but unfortunately, not everything came together. read more

I tried the new WTF (Italian meatball, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, some other delicious ingredients). I can't recall because they went so fast. This one should be on the menu. I can't have tacos here without having a side of guacamole, elite, and queso. Such a treat at midnight. read more

This might be my new favorite taco spot!! We stopped by after going to Puttshack. You order and the cashier and then sit at the table. Once your food is ready they call your name and say some catch phrase that I can't remember right now. My food was really good!! Started with 4 tacos and then ordered two more. Yep, 6 tacos. I was being greedy and 3 tacos is plenty. Mediterranean mushroom - I thought this would be would be the fave so I ordered two of these the first round. Pretty good but didn't have as much flavor as the other two. The French fries weren't actual fries, which was a little disappointing lol. The dill had me wanted more of it! Nashville Hot Tofu - this was my favorite. The crispiness of the fried tofu was perfect. The napa slaw and pickles were perfectly paired and the sauce was good. Spicy but pretty flavorful. Beer battered Cauliflower - I thought this would be my least favorite but I loved this one too. They did the flavor right! Ordered without the queso. Cauliflower was perfect with the flavor and crunch factor. It had a good bit toppings which I'm a fan of. The avocado added a nice creaminess and went well with the different textures. read more

The service was pretty fast and the staff was helpful when we were struggling what to chose. My friend lives here & had been to velvet taco beige and the staff informed her she can get any taco and change the protein, so that allowed her to try something new. I got the queso that was perfect and the mexi- cali and sweet chili tacos. The tacos had a perfect balance of ingredients and was overall really good. Last the sangria margarita mix together definitely is a must have, if you're not mixing the two you're not doing it right. read more
