    Fried Paneer
    Dimpie S.

    Love velvet taco! This location does fried paneer really well! Service was quick and it was in the food hall which was massive. I've been to a few velvet tacos across the country and this is one of my top favorites. They fill it appropriately and have great taste!

    This is my sweet spot on a Friday night. How can you go wrong with a $15 combo of 2 tacos, a side of Guacamole and a Jaritos?!

    [July 2025] I visited the Velvet Taco tucked inside the Assembly Food Hall. I ordered a Grilled Salmon taco which came up pretty quick was very flavorful and delicious.

    I'll start by saying I have been to many Velvet Taco - most in Texas - so the bar is set high. The service was phenomenal here - they were so friendly and happy to help. The kind lady at the register even offered suggestions for the dip trio since it was cheaper than the two dips we wanted. Lots of great flavor options to choose from, from vegetarian to weekly specials. There is ample seating and although the music is very loud, it's a great place to sit and chat with friends. There's patio seating too! There are kid options too, which is a positive!

    Grilled Steak Bowl (no queso blanco)
    Constance T.

    I got my steak bowl delivered and mannnn that bowl was hitting!!! I smelled the aroma of deliciousness before I even opened the bag. My steak bowl was really good! The steak wasn't too tough for chewing, the portion size was enough to fill, and now I have to make a visit to the location for another review. I hope the service is as good!

    Overall: Great late night spot after a time out! Super conveniently located in Midtown so you really can't go wrong. Got the chips and queso, no complaints here - though I did hear that the price has gone up. Service: super quick and convenient, shoutout to our cashier the night we went! So nice! Ambience: Casual and chill vibes, nice and warm to eat and catch up with friends. A Nashville staple forsure.

    We were across the street at losers bar and got hungry and saw that there was a taco right across the street which I've never had Velvet tacos before and let me tell you they serve alcohol there. WELL that was no brainer so I had a high noon with my tacos. One of the Best fast food tacos I had in a long time

    Late night deliciousness! After a night out in Nashville, we hit up the only decent spot that was not your traditional fast food and we are so glad we did. First off, we eat a lot of Mexican food. But this place "slapped" as the kids like to say. Jonny Queso took our order and he was an angel! We ordered various tacos and side dishes but my most favorite was the tots with the egg. Had goat cheese and a sauce. Strongly recommend this place, not just for late night but anytime.

    Brisket taco and Hatch Chile Pork taco

    Tacos, chips, guac, curry queso and margs on the rocks were all great. Brisket was the best. Frozen margs were not as good.

    Mexi-Cali Shrimp Bowl (GF)

    Major yum!!! We came here for a quick lunch after the airport with our luggage and it was the perfect start to the trip! The staff was very welcoming and the food came out pretty quick The Cali shrimp bowl and all the tacos were delicious and fresh! We also got the house margaritas and they were so yum! Will definitely eat here next time we're in Nashville or south Florida!

    I have nothing but great things to say about this place! I went relatively late and was treated so well by all employees. The lady who took my order explained the menu, told me her favorites and helped me decide what to get. Such an interesting menu and delicious combinations of tacos. We sat outside and instead of calling out our order they walked it out to us. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in Nashville!

    Betsy T.

    We ordered on UberEats and really enjoyed the tacos! Loved the different queso options and the wild taco flavors! The tikka masala taco and the paneer taco come highly recommended!

    Visited Velvet Taco in Nashville and it lived up to the same great experience I had at their Dallas location. The vibe is fun, casual, and welcoming--perfect for grabbing a quick bite or hanging out with friends. Their famous Chicken Tikka Taco is still the star for me--packed with flavor and just as delicious as I remember. I also had to get the Red Velvet Cake again and it did not disappoint... moist, rich, and such a good finish to the meal. I tried the Korean Fried Rice Taco this time and it was okay--not bad, just didn't stand out as much as the others. But overall, Velvet Taco continues to deliver creative flavors and consistent quality. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for unique and flavorful tacos with a twist!

    Nashville Hot Tofu veg taco can be made vegan by removing the ranch crema. Pretty good!

My fiancee and dad got the birria tacos they did a pretty good job. I got the skirt steak i believe and it was ok. Tender but not too flavorful. Tasted more just like beef. I believe its marinated but i didnt really get hints of any spices. Again, I'm not saying it was terrible by any means. Just left something to be desired. We also ordered the wueso flameado and that was pretty good. Overall a good place to eat. Would recommend checking it out.

The decor inside was super fun! A combination of girly, southern twang, & cultural. I loved the mural inside as well. This location contains live music downstairs and a full restaurant upstairs.

The setup inside is adorable and had a cozy, relaxed vibe from the moment we walked in. Our server, Tom, was absolutely wonderful. He even asked if we had any allergies when ordering, which we really appreciated even though we didn't have any. It honestly showed how much they care about their customers. I don't think I've ever had a restaurant ask that before! He was also super attentive and kept our waters refilled so quickly throughout the meal. One thing we really liked was the atmosphere. We loved all the fun live music spots around Nashville too, but this was a nice change of pace if you're looking for more of a chill, relaxed vibe where you can easily enjoy conversation during dinner. We both ordered the asada tacos and they were SO delicious, exactly what we needed. The rice on the side tasted incredibly fresh too, and the tomato and corn mixed into it were the perfect addition. You could tell everything was made with care. The staff was constantly cleaning tables quickly after guests left, and overall the service was just amazing from start to finish.
