    Fried Paneer

    We went over late around 10pm for some tacos after landing in Texas. We have always liked velvet taco and gone to different locations. We got all our favorites especially our tikka masala taco. The food/service was quick and the bathrooms were clean! Can't ask for more

    Nashville Hot Tofu(1), Beer Battered Cauliflower(2), WTF

    We made a quick stop here on our way home, which turned into a longer visit than planned. We ordered the Beer Battered Cauliflower, Nashville Hot Tofu, WTF - Butter Chicken, Corn & Chips, and the Kids' Tater Tots. My SO really enjoyed the Cauliflower Taco but wasn't a fan of the Hot Tofu. I found the Butter Chicken Taco delicious -- definitely a standout. The kids were happy with their Tater Tots and the Corn & Chips, so that was a win!

    UMMMM I need one of these in Orlando immediately! They offer a wide range of different tacos, à la cart style. It's a quick service spot and although they get busy, the service is friendly and the line moves very quick. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available.

    Love the crazy variety of tacos. It's great when everybody seems to be in the mood for something different because the variety is pretty drastic... hello, Chicken tender and tater tot taco. The outdoor seating is the way to go in my opinion. It's a little bit loud and cafeteria feeling inside. But the outside is great. Of course, if there's bad weather, you do have the inside option. they're pretty busy pretty much anytime I've gone so you can expect a small wait for counter service, but it's not bad. And it's worth the wait.

    Cuban Pig, Korean Fried Rice and Grilled Salmon

    They have some of the most tasty fast food Mexican inspired taco in the area. You can walk in and order from the counter or you can download their app and order from the comfort of your table. The favorite starter for us is the Elites and Chip and can almost be an entree. It comes how hot and creamy and perfect to dip in your chips. All of the tacos so far have been fantastic. My favorites are the Cuban Pig and the Grilled Salmon. I have tried the Spicy Tikka Chicken and the Korean Fried Rice and good but not my all time favorite for taste with the fantastic sauces and dripping taco juices especially on the Cuban Pig. I have tried the Red Velvet Cake and it was ok. If you love red velvet cake you will probably love it way more than i did but it was not bad. If you are in the mood for tacos you should come eat here for sure!!

    Queso Blanco

    We love going to velvet taco! This time we went to that location and unfortunately it didn't meet our expectations! We got smashed burgers, grilled salmon and shrimp tacos and Also, we had Queso blanco with chips! Smashed burgers was too salty and greasy!! Grilled salmon was okay! And Shrimp tacos was great! Queso blanco was good too! Overall it was okay experience.

    I'd had Velvet Taco once before and really enjoyed the taco, but due to proximity I kinda forgot about the place, including this location. I wanted a unique taco, so I ordered the birria tacos , the chicken tikka taco, an order of the queso and a slice of cake. Upon arriving my order was ready and the smells escaping the bag had me excited. I first tried the chicken tikka which was very good, the chicken still had some crunch, it was appropriately sauced and though initially apprehensive about the rice , I enjoyed it in the taco. Now, the birria was a bit of a let down. It was pretty mild in flavor and I thought the gruyere in it seemed out of place with the other flavors; the consumme was just ok in taste. I was excited to have the queso but I didn't care for the Indian spices in it and it was a little to thick for my liking. The red velvet cake was better than I expected and tasted even better the next day after I microwaved it to soften it up. I'll definitely be back to try the other taco selections.

    Super fan of Velvet Taco! If you're looking for a gourmet non traditional taco, this is the place for you. Tacos are mid in size, usually pretty full, a bit on the pricey side per taco. Service is good, chill environment. My faves are the Tikka Masala, Picnic Chicken...so many others are great as well. Chips and queso are good, but if you want something super yummy grab the tots!

    Wow! I loved all of my food from Velvet Taco. They are doing it right here when it comes to flavors and options. I think the people who put the menu together really created something special. I ordered three different tacos and a curry queso. The tacos are average sized but loaded with ingredients. I had a tiki chicken taco , the paneer taco, and the cauliflower one. Each one was distinct in flavors and I enjoyed every bite! The curry queso was delicious. Honestly I was hoping for a little more spice but it still tasted good. The chips were normal and on par for what I was expecting. If I had a place like this where I'm from I'd probably be eating here once a week. Give it a try for sure

    First time trying this place. Awesome food. Great variety of tacos. Some odd and unique combinations . Very worth trying. Outdoor seating area is great. Never felt overcrowded. AC is ON inside and it is definitely cold in there. Sangria margaritas were so yummy.

    Fish taco
    Leena J.

    Great location. Nice atmosphere, pretty small inside- The patio is nice, but maybe some more light would help- it was dark and still windy on a beautiful day. Feels too closed in- Food- I got the falafel taco- it was alright- I enjoyed the tiny falafel, but they were pretty tiny and hard to taste because they overloaded with arugula and veggies. The flank steak was flavorful with the mushrooms and onions- but there wasn't that much steak- lots of onions. Some of the table got tater tots, chips and queso- looked good, they seemed satisfied.

    I was looking at the online menu and it said most Tacos were around $5.95, is that for one or three?

    It's per taco. They are very filling. I usually eat two. If you download the app they have a secret menu

    Calles de Mexico has been a staple for us for years, and at this point it's basically a weekend…read moretradition. We don't make it in person as often as we'd like, but we order delivery almost every single weekend--and seriously, we couldn't live without it!! The pozole is the reason. It is absolutely divine. I genuinely dream about it during the week, counting down until the weekend because that's the only time they serve it. The meat is unbelievably tender--melt‑in‑your‑mouth tender--and the flavor is rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying. It's one of those dishes that sticks with you long after the bowl is empty. Everything else is consistently excellent too. The guacamole is always fresh and delicious. All of their salsas are vibrant, fresh, and full of flavor, and you can really taste the quality. Their chips and tortillas are also fresh and delicious, which makes such a difference and really rounds out the whole meal. When we do go to the restaurant in person, the experience is just as good. The servers are always helpful and friendly, the bar is great, and while the atmosphere may not be over‑the‑top fancy, it's comfortable, welcoming, and always very clean, which we really appreciate. Calles de Mexico is one of those rare places that's incredibly consistent over the years. Whether you're dining in or ordering delivery, they never disappoint. And if you're lucky enough to catch them on the weekend--do not miss the pozole!!

    After a long flight, I was exhausted and starving. I searched for nearby restaurants and stumbled…read moreupon this absolute gem--Calles de Mexico. Don't let the very basic setup fool you. What this place lacks in ambience, it more than makes up for in flavor. We ordered both the Taco Tex (Chicken Tinga, Al Pastor, Spicy Chicken) and Taco Mex (Al Pastor, Chicken Tinga, Spicy Chicken), along with fries and a Michelada. The tacos were truly out of this world--perfectly spicy, incredibly flavorful, and packed with juicy, well-seasoned meat. Each variety had its own distinct taste, and everything felt fresh and authentic. We loaded them up with the sauces available at the table, and that just elevated the flavors to the next level. The fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned--simple but done right. My husband really enjoyed the Michelada as well; it paired perfectly with the tacos. If you're looking for great Mexican street-style tacos, this place absolutely delivers. I only wish I had more time in Dallas to go back for another round, because this spot definitely left us wanting more.

So maybe call to confirm if you make reservations. Luckily there were plenty of open seats and my party of 8 was seated quickly. The place itself is truly stunning. It is bright and modern, wonderful decor and comfortable seating. The menu is full of fun and creative taco options. We started with the sushi nachos which were very good ! Margarita flight was just ok, pomegranate was my favorite there. Everyone tried different tacos and while they were all unique and stunning to look at, the flavor didn't match the presentation. Most of them were just ok, nothing memorable. This is a one and done for me. It's pricey, they charge a fee for credit card payments and while everything looked amazing the taste wasn't there.

Service was great around lunchtime, seated immediately and food within 15 minutes. I will say I ordered the shrimp and lobster taco at first because how could you not?!? When I got it, it was really not good... Super salty but I'm still giving all the stars because they gave me no issues at all about ordering something else as a replacement and the server even came back to say the kitchen staff tried it and it was abnormally salty and apologized. Gotta love that for caring service. Instead I ordered the salmon taco and it was soooooo dang good I ordered more to go home with. Overall this will definitely be on my list when we come to see the inlaws in th future.
