I've been looking forward to another Velvet Taco experience since my first opportunity in Austin and this location did not disappoint. Tucked in a collection of restaurants and bars (Legacy Hall), Velvet is one of two taco options in the space. If you love tacos but also a foodie... this is for you. The kitchen is fast with a vast array of seating in the shared perimeter. I'll definitely be back. read more

Velvet Taco - Store front - Tacos Near Me - Plano, Texas

Quick and friendly service. Convenient placed by the shopping center. I got the steak taco. It was good, although I didn't care for the mushrooms. I'm sure if I am fan of the type of tacos. I was looking for a more normal chicken taco. But otherwise it hit the spot. read more

Velvet Taco - Tacos Near Me - Plano, Texas

Every time I visit this location staff is very rude. I always ask "how are you?" which they either ignore or dryly respond. I'd assume this is a rather easy job since no one needs to wipe tables down or grab trays... Yet out of the 5 times i've visited they are always upset. Even if I manage to make conversation with them that seems to be a burden. People like nice staff, you could have the worst food in the world and people would come back just because of the service. Which this location is severely lacking. read more

Velvet Taco is the finest taco chain I ever had the pleasure of enjoying. If you get a chance, please get the cheeseburger taco!

Last night was not my first time at Velvet Taco. It was my 1st time (and last) at this location. I ordered a Fried Paneer taco. I have had this taco at other locations. The Fried Paneer taco had a piece of paneer floating in a puddle of something. I picked it up, tilted it, and liquid poured from it. Pretty much one piece of paneer and a tortilla floating in watery liquid. Legacy hall, great music, great drinks, extremely mediocre over priced food. Disappointing. Do better y'all! read more

This is a restaurant in the heart of Legacy Hall, one of the 20 restaurants here. Probably one of the better, more consistent restaurants as well. I've eaten several items from the menu and to date are good. Service was pretty quick, as during events it tends to get pretty busy. Check out the events at Legacy Hall, grab a bite at VT and enjoy a nice show read more

I love Velvet Taco! I'm from Seattle and when ever we are in Texas we hit up a Velvet Taco. Each location has its own ambiance. I love the Elote dip, but beware it's not traditional Elote. Their guacamole is to die for. It has large chunks of avocado. Our group gets a lot of different things -- the majority of them have all been amazing. Keep in mind this is fusion food. It's not traditional Mexican food. The service is always great. I've never been at a location where it hasn't been good. read more

Super good and filling tacos! I had the Mexi-Cali shrimp and fried paneer taco. Both were good but the paneer one was definitely more unique. I wish the paneer was crunchier - it was a bit soggy. I'll come back for sure! read more

Queso and chips is extremely delicious!! That's the only thing we order at this place. I'm not into street tacos but the queso is made on point with the right seasonings. read more

I ordered on DoorDash and the to-go packing kept my two tacos warm and not soggy. The Nashville Tofu taco is my favorite, the flavors are great and the crunch from the cabbage and pickles complements the taco. The spicy chicken tikka masala was also delicious, and only mildly spicy. read more

Velvet Taco - Upper #3 Spicy Tikka, Lower #4 Nashville Tofu, both are delicious - Tacos Near Me - Plano, Texas

I love velvet taco. I'm a fan. Probably always will be. Almost every taco on the menu is outstanding! This review is for one of their newest menu item, the birria duo. It's absolutely terrible. Velvet needs to remove this as it's a joke and reminds you of jack in the box's ¢99 taco, and almost taste like it too. It's skinny with very little filling. I didn't get any consume, and in my opinion, definitely not something worthy of velvet taco. I expected a stuffed , meaty and cheesy taco with consume, but naw. And this menu item is a "naw" too. Everything else is 100 the best though. read more

Velvet Taco - #18 Chicken & Waffle #16 Fish & Chips #1 Buffalo Chicken - Tacos Near Me - Plano, Texas

Wish I could 0 zero stars, Workers are extremely rude. They forgot the tacos in our order the very rudely said we could come back and purchase more tacos. The girl on the phone was rude and laughed in my face. I'll never be giving this place my business again and there was something hard in my son's taco like a very small rock. Absolutely unacceptable and there are so many better restaurants with better kinder workers and better food without a small rock in it. read more

This location is at Legacy West so the prices are set accordingly. They may be the same at all locations, this is the only location I've been to. It's at Legacy Food Hall so you order your food and wait to pick it up and find seating on first or second floor or outside. They have a good variety of taco's, the variety is more of the fancy-Austin type of tacos. I personally like taqueria's more but I'm all about flavor. I bought three taco's and also ordered a water bottle and it set me back almost $20 which is a little rich for a regular lunch. The taco's are close to twice the size compared to a regular taqueria. I first tried a chicken taco, they have four varieties and based on recommendation from co-workers I tried the spicy tikka chicken. The flavor was really good, good Indian flavor like you would expect and just about enough heat. I would have preferred chicken bites, it was like eating a chicken tender inside a taco. The second taco was a pork taco, they have three varieties and I tried the Cuban Pig. It's slow roasted pork with mustard and other items. I thought it was a little dry and was my least favorite. The third taco was a beef taco, they have three variety and I went with the brisket taco. It was really good, I loved the combination of flavors. The brisket was juicy and had a ton of flavor. It comes with red chili mayo, queso blanco and was a really good mix. The brisket was the only taco that really wow'ed me, there may be other combinations that are better than the chicken and pork taco's I had. read more

Velvet Taco - Brisket taco, pork taco and chicken tikka taco - Tacos Near Me - Plano, Texas

Due to the fact I used to eat affordable tacos in LA such as Ensenada Fish Tacos, Guisados, El Taurino, and Kogi Taco Truck, I didn't understand the fancy one like Velvet Tacos. But I had an opportunity to eat this one as my friend came from out of the town. Located at the Legacy Hall, the hotspot, popping, two stories, back yard with stages, it is easy to order having simple menus and boozes. I ordered #3 spicy tikka($4.75), #12 angus brisket($5.55). Incredibly delicious. Worth the prices. But I still love the affordable one that I had to go to the bathroom several times a day after eating. read more

Velvet Taco - #16 Fish n Chips and Elote - Tacos Near Me - Plano, Texas

Given this place three tries and throwing in the towel. Each time woefully disappointed by the food. As taco connoisseurs, we were excited to try VT at their uptown location. Didn't enjoy but tried the Legacy Hall location twice when there with friends and no difference in quality. The buffalo chicken has the strangest, synthetic taste. Did not care for any that used rotisserie chicken. Chimichurri steak: steak was dry and perhaps that was why the taco was filled with way more rice than protein? Mexi-cali shrimp was probably the best of the bunch. Most everything we've tried at both locations tasted like it had been prepared days ago... dry meats, wilted or sad produce. And the service at Legacy Hall isn't the greatest. So so many better taco shops on just about every block in town. read more

The food is decent in taste but not for the price. I recommend trying it once but it better taco spots in Dallas. read more

Velvet Taco - #1 Buffalo Chicken #3 Spicy Tikka Chicken #4 Nashville Hot Tofu Queso Blanco - Tacos Near Me - Plano, Texas

Spicy Tikka Chicken - the flavors are good but the rice can make it heavy. Still my favorite taco on the menu Cuban Pig - this taco is definitely more salty than the other ones. It is also more oily but still very good Slow roasted angus brisket - pricey but it's worth trying. The flavors of the avocado relish, red chile mayo, and queso blanco all compliment the brisket well Buffalo Chicken - my least favorite. I felt like the flavors did not work well together. Red coconut curry queso - I actually forgot I was eating queso because the red coconut curry flavors really come out. This has a nice kick to it and it's definitely something I'll order again! read more

I've only tried the Brisket taco and it' amazing! The beef is tender and juicy, the tortilla seems to replicate a skinnier version of a quesadilla because of the melted cheese, the pico de gallo def added the fresh taste. Overall I enjoyed these tacos so much! read more

Velvet Taco - #12 Angus Brisket - Tacos Near Me - Plano, Texas

I've been a fan of the Knox/Henderson location for years and was so excited when it was first announced that a Velvet Taco was opening in Legacy West. I'm sad to say it's taken me this long to finally try it because honestly, some of the lackluster reviews on Yelp really deterred me. I'm especially sad because I'VE BEEN MISSING OUT because I had a GREAT experience. I feel like some of the complaints I've read about are completely unwarranted; small menu? It's a food hall location...what do you expect? The other food stalls that have larger brick & mortar restaurant locations also offer a smaller menu. Pricey? These aren't traditional street tacos...and Legacy Hall prices are maybe $0.25 more than at Knox/Henderson. Quality? Same as what I've always been used to! We ordered takeout and the food was well-packaged and still hot when we got home. I got my go-to Spicy Tikka Chicken (fabulous as always) and tried the Nashville Hot Tofu for the first time. Umm, who knew tofu could taste like this?! Batter was just thick enough to stay on the tofu well and the Nashville Hot sauce had a great balance of spice and tang. If you're open to a queso with a unique flavor profile, don't miss the red curry coconut queso. So glad I finally tried out this location because we'll keep coming back! read more

You can't beat the atmosphere and 2nd story seating at Legacy Hall though so I'll definitely be getting more tacos soon. read more

Tried the beer battered cauliflower and fried paneer tacos. With the fried panner taco, I appreciate their attempt to incorporate indian flavor. But they really need to work on the tikka masala sauce used. Could not taste any indian flavor or spices. The beer batttered cauliflower was good. A lot better than other places that have cauliflower tacos on the menu. read more

Summer has begun and a teacher friend and I met up to celebrate! Velvet taco sounded like the perfect place and I was excited to check out their new location. The man upfront was not very friendly or welcoming and could tell we had never tried velvet taco- come on, give us the specials, give us the school. Nerp. No communication. No impressed right off the bat- I asked a few questions and he was pretty short in his responses. I tried to make small talk- Nerp, cut it out. I ordered the Cuban and the beef- OVER....RAAATTTTEED and expensive. My tacos were dry and needed a salsa dip that was fresh like pico de gallo - not happy. Nothing about my tacos felt like velvet- nor did my experience. Come on, now. Let's step up the friendly customer service, please please please. read more

I approve of the chicken tikka taco, but I'm Indian. If it had more spice to it, I would love it even more. It is basically a taco with basmati rice topped with 2 chicken tenders and then the tikka masala sauce. This location doesn't have a huge menu, but they had what I always come for. The line may be long, but it goes by quick. Make sure to order the elote as well and thank me later. I love that Velvet Taco is at Legacy Hall now. read more

This brand new location for Velvet Taco is in the trendy Legacy Hall. They have a short, abbreviated menu. But the food is the same amazing Velvet Taco deliciousness. Best tacos on the planet. Just a smaller selection of them. However, there is only one vegetarian option (sniff). Fewer kid friendly options. And no red Velvet cake. Still, a great option for the Legacy Hall lineup. read more

Yummy tacos... just expensive tacos. We went to Legacy Hall to get dinner since we knew everyone would be able to find something... mainly thinking about the two littles age 7 & 4. They ended up getting noodles from an Asian place. Hubby & I got tacos from Velvet Taco. I had the Chicken Tikka & Fish and Chips. Hubby got the Buffalo Chicken & Brisket. We both enjoyed them but expect to pay at least $4.50+ per taco. read more

I'm surprised to see so many bad reviews, I had a good experience and really enjoyed the taco I got! I have been to the velvet taco in Dallas, a while ago, but remember liking that one as well. There is a limited menu here, but it makes sense. They have limited space, and can't fit as many staff members back there as they can in a full size restaurant. They pretty much offer one taco per meat option, plus a featured taco. The man behind the counter was very friendly, and was very helpful when people had questions about the menu. We went on a weekday a little after lunch, so my food came out pretty fast. I ordered the fried paneer taco, the only vegetarian option, and I was very pleased! It was a very Indian cuisine inspired taco. Paneer plus a tikka masala type sauce, and a tomato chutney with basil, great twist on a taco! I would recommend it even if you aren't vegetarian, good sized taco with lots of flavor. I think if your used to the full menu this can be kind of a let down with the limited options, but I still enjoyed my experience, and they are still delivering great food! read more

I'm not sure if I my expectations for Velvet Taco were too high or if I was there on an off day. I placed my to-go order, cashier confirmed it was to-go. A few minutes later an order for Jane, not Jen, shows up on the table. I take a look and the server informs me that it's my order. I mentioned that I asked for it to-go. She gives me a bad look, then turns around to give the cashier a bad look and proceeds to wrap up my tacos. She then throws the bag across the table to me and said nothing. I'm not sure if that influenced my thoughts on the tacos which were mediocre in my opinion. I might give them another try but honestly was turned off by the attitude displayed. read more

Note: This review is only for the chicken Tikka taco. I'm not sure if the other tacos here would live up to the five stars. After making the rounds at Legacy Food Hall, I decided to try a taco from this place. I was just too tempted by the chicken Tikka taco. Now, this is some fusion I can get behind! My one taco was $4.50, which is a bit pricey. However, it was big enough to fill me for lunch, so I was happy with it. The taco came with rice at the bottom and two chicken tenders on top. It was topped with Tikka sauce and some other white creamy sauce. The Tikka had a little kick to it and the chicken was tender. Overall, it was an awesome take on a taco. This was by far the best non-traditional taco I've had from anywhere. It was so good that I'll probably return to the food hall just for it. Whoever created this taco, I'd like to shake your hand. You're a genius! read more

I love Velvet Taco and have been a customer of their Dallas locations for years. By comparison, their Legacy Hall location has awful service that completely ruined my experience. Every single time I go to a Velvet Taco I order the Chicken Tikka Taco, but sub Paneer for Chicken due to dietary restrictions. I've been doing this for years at the Dallas locations with zero problems. I asked for the same order I always do: the cashier lady seems to understand and nods her head. The order info pops up on the little screen, and I can see that she hasn't actually subbed Paneer on the order. I ask her again to sub Paneer, thinking she just didn't hear me. Again, she nods her head but the screen isn't changed. I'm getting worried at this point, so as I'm paying I ask her a THIRD time to please make sure to sub Paneer. Again, a nod from her and I specifically remember her repeating the word "Paneer". So at this point there really shouldn't be any confusion. I come home (was way too crowded at Legacy Hall to open the order/eat the taco there), and immediately notice my taco looks off. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt so I take a bite and... yup. Chicken instead of paneer. Despite specifically asking for paneer THREE separate times. That's $5+ and over 20 minutes of my life down the drain. read more

Two for one visit; go to Legacy Hall for weekday lunch and check out Velvet Taco. We had seen the new stand alone restaurant on Park Blvd but wanted to try this location first. Excellent meal.
