We were in town for the week and added the St Patrick's Day Parade to our itinerary. This place handled the crowds like a well-oiled machine! We decided to stop in and eat before the parade ended and they were getting through the lines fast and the food out faster! Everything tasted great, and their patio was a nice spot to finish watching the parade. read more

These are not traditional tacos. Don't let that put you off, because that doesn't mean they aren't excellent tacos! I've been here multiple times and the quality of the ingredients is always on point. I have to admire an establishment that managed to make it through COVID at their original locations, and is still staying busy! Their packaging for their tacos is really something unique. I wish I had taken a picture of it. They have a molded plastic tray that will hold three tacos perfectly so that when you take it to go, your tacos don't get tossed around, and the ingredients from one mixed with another. Their white queso, elotes, and guacamole is excellent. The chips are nice and crunchy. Service was friendly, and the speed of getting my late-night order out was what keeps me coming back. read more

Excellent, friendly service...TY! Food is made to order - we had a combo (2 tacos of your choice, 1 side of your choice and a fountain drink)...$14.95. Also had a grilled steak taco and a grilled salmon taco - $5.95 each. Fresh, but the downside of the curry coconut queso and the fish 'n chip taco? Both they were WAY OVER SALTED. Love that you can refill your fountain drink (Coke products and sweet + unsweetened tea). Sauces are made in-house. They also serve a variety of margaritas, beers, etc. Very clean, very casual and apparently open VERY LATE. And, the prices don't break the bank! read more

Today, I was in the mood for tacos and I tried Velvet Taco in Uptown. It's a great location, near a bunch of shopping and bars. They also have a nice patio and lots of seating. Great service and I appreciated the presentation of the food and the cleanliness of the space. Chimichurri Steak - good flavor. I didn't like how big the chunks of steak were on this taco. They were cooked well, however there was imbalance between the meat and topping in each bite. FYI - it's spicy, about 3 out of 5 Buffalo Chicken - I didn't like this taco because of the flavor of the Buffalo sauce. It tasted... bottled and it's the theme of the taco so it took over and I couldn't finish it. Mexi-Cali Shrimp - Delicious! Vibrant flavor, all the flavors work well together. I loved this one. read more

I love grabbing late night tacos and a margarita from velvet taco. The vibe is cool. And the outdoor patio is nice on a lovely day. Parking isn't bad usually and it's a few other nice places on this street where you can walk around or hit a bar nearby. read more

Went here for an easy Thursday night dinner with my husband. It's a great spot to grab some quick tacos with made-from-scratch ingredients (which is hard to find). The staff was very friendly and on top of it. The restaurant was clean and had a good crowd. The taco options are unique in the best way, you can tell the recipes are well thought out. Everything we got was really good, including the margaritas! I also love the central location right on McKinney; the onsite parking is convenient. read more

Velvet Taco has been a staple during my time in Dallas for over 10 years! It was one of the first places I tried when I got here. It has remained consistent and delicious! My favorite tacos are the buffalo chicken and picnic chicken! Gotta have the elote, and a margarita (half frozen/half on the rocks) to complete your meal. The red velvet cake with that caramel drizzle is everything! If you want an amazing twist to traditional tacos, you definitely want to try these curated unique tacos! @MissMo2323 read more

The second time we've been to this location and they've forgotten an item!! Please remember to double check orders! And the worst part both times I've tipped. So lost out on tip and money for food we didn't get. read more

bring back the TOTS!! My kids are so disappointed tots have been discontinued and did not like the chips and queso replacement

Great Service & Food! McKinney Location fast response to online orders. I order online regularly!

This is the most amazing restaurant for fast food and tacos. Easy to get in and out quickly from their parking lot in case you want to order online and pick up. We always go in to eat. Nice, clean, and tacos are fabulous! The manager at this location is outstanding! I asked him one evening while we were there if he happened to have a little birthday candle. The next thing we saw was him running across the street to Walgreens to buy candles for us! Talk about service! He gives us free slices of cake occasionally because we go in once a week. Also, my favorite taco, the Cuban Pug, was taken off the menu for several months, but he continued to make it for me without the ham it needed. I was over the top when he said they could do that for me. That order had to be keyed in by each ingredient, which made it take longer for the staff. But he told them that's how it had to be done, and they did it. He's an amazing guy and I would tell the whole world if I could! You go guy!!!! read more

We had Eric and he was by far the best! We go to Velvet taco almost weekly and he was outstanding.

Tried it for the first time last night after a concert and I'm back again today. It's so good & the restaurant was really clean

Everytime I visit Texas, I must make a stop at Velvet Taco. While they're not authentic tacos, the taco fusion somehow just works. The Chicken & Waffle is my favorite. I love the combination of the waffle taco, the chicken tender, and the maple syrup. It sound strange but it's a delicious amalgamation of a taco. The chicken tender is crispy even with takeout. It's a must in the menu for me. Another favorite of mines on the menu are any of the beef options. The Slow roasted angus brisket taco is delicious. The brisket is cooked just right where you are not chewing for five minutes on one piece of steak. Hands down one of my favorite chain restaurants. read more

Really cool design and even cooler tacos! They have a broad variety of tacos to order, including vegetarian options. The tacos came out fast and fresh, and filled with flavor. The queso was surprisingly good but a small size. The shrimp taco was by far the winner of the tacos we tried that day, but all were worthy of coming back for. read more

I think this place is a solid 3 stars. The customer service is good. The lady that helped us at the register was very nice and informative. We got a lot of stuff. We got nachos, cauliflower tacos, shrimp, steak, brisket tacos, quesabirria tacos, and queso with chips. The reason for the 3 stars is that the food is just average. Nothing more nothing less.....just plain average. The ambiance is great, prices are on the higher end, but the food.....just ok. Not great not horrible. Would I go there again? Not if I'm looking for something I absolutely love but if I'm hungry and near by.....maybe. read more

There aren't any vegan and gluten free options at all at Velvet Taco. They cook all of the meats into the same fryer as the other ingredients..When I emailed about it they brushed it off and that they would look into it but disappointing to say the least. Sad they can't even offer one green friendly option... read more

Nice Velvet Taco near Dallas downtown area. Easy to spot from street. Good customer service and seating indoor or outdoor. Nice for eating with family, friends, dates or solo. Has a nice variety of tacos to choose from. Their guacamole cheese dip is pretty good. Nice for eating quick bite during midnight hours. Enjoy! read more

You order at the front and pay. They call your name and you go get your food. We sat outdoors. I ordered the regular queso (reorderable) Elote (this time it was good. Last time not so much) Hamburger taco (always a banger) And velvet cake (wasn't as worth the hype as I've seen, but much better once I paired whatever drizzle that was, caramel?) Sat outside. Wind was blowing like crazy that day. I don't think it's meant for communal seating but this couple came and plopped down right on the end of our table, ate and left their trash for others to clean. I didn't too much like that. I guess That's just lack of manners though, and doesn't reflect the company. I like this location and plan on returning when I need my velvet taco fix. A little mid-pricey but it's all good !! read more

This was my second time to this particular Velvet Taco on a work trip to Dallas, and I don't tend to do second visits much! My grilled salmon taco was incredible, and my friends enjoyed their orders as well. The wait was quick, and the flavor options were so fun and creative. My only wish is that there had been another type of GF taco. Like I said, loved what I got, but wished I could have tried one more. read more

Great taco shop! I've heard a lot about the place since there's a couple in Austin. I'd like to say it lived up to the hype for my first time. FOOD: My family and I ordered several different types of tacos. All of them were pretty good. My personal favorites were the tikka chicken, flank steak, and Cuban pig. The tikka tasted pretty legit, and had good enough spice. The flank steak was pretty juicy, and was overall great. Cuban pig also had a lot of juice. Only complaint was that the mustard was pretty heavy on this taco, with it being slightly overpowering on the nostrils when you eat it. We ordered takeout so there was no service. The tortillas do get a bit hard for delivery so keep that in mind. Would definitely love to eat at the restaurant itself one day! read more

Had a great time at Velvet taco for a late night bite! They are open super late which is awesome for spontaneous plans (like mine were :)). I ended up getting the Mexi-Cali shrimp taco on a lettuce wrap and it did not disappoint! I would also highly recommend the queso and red velvet cake as additions to your meal. The service was prompt and had a fast-casual set up, as you grab your food from the counter. I would definitely go back! read more

Stopped in during a recent trip to Dallas and loved this place. The worker on the mic announcing everyone's order made things fun, as did the overall atmosphere of the place. I ordered three tacos. The Buffalo tofu, the fried paneer, and, the beer battered cauliflower. All of them were delicious in their own way. The shells were so flavorful and grilled perfectly. I loved the breading and sauce on the Buffalo taco. The fried paneer was probably my favorite though. I never had half the things that came on the taco, but it all went together great! read more

Velvet Taco - Buffalo tofu, fried paneer, and beer battered cauliflower tacos - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

These aren't your typical tacos. They don't have your typical taco flavors and ingredients. I liked the concept of incorporating other cultures. Listed from my favorite to least favorite... I tried the Buffalo Chicken, Chicken and Waffle , and the Flank Steak Taco. The menu was easy to ready and understand and the order process was fast and friendly. The food was prepared fresh and very quickly. There is sitting inside and out. The beverage area and sitting areas are maintained cleaned. My only complaint was the indoor kitchen ventilation- it wasn't great. It was very smokey inside which made my eyes watery and uncomfortable. My clothes had a strong stench of grease/food as well. read more

I wish I could give this place 10 stars! The food is amazing...the cauliflower & tofu tacos are the best I've ever tasted. But what really made this place a 10 star experience was Peyton. He was super friendly and noticed that I ordered veggie tacos along with the loaded tots but forgot to exclude the bacon. WOW! Such a small thing but something that would've jacked up my meal (and would've been my fault). I'm visiting from Atlanta so he told me about some locations in my area that I wasn't aware of and also told me about some new bowls they're coming out with! Can someone give Peyton a big fat raise? A+! read more

All reps were great. Friendly, helpful. Excellent menu. Plenty of choices non meat and meat eaters. Beer battered cauliflower and tikka masala tacos very tasty. Queso side (real cheese and spicy sauces added) super good. Others in our group had mexi-cali (grilled prawns) and fish. All were great. A rep saw me drooling over the red velvet cake and offered a sample. Delicious. We're visiting family and will come back. Industrial-farm style inside.
