Great atmosovers! My husband and I came in on a Friday night and the customer service was excellent. Quick and easy. Food was fantastic as well! read more

Whew holy hell this was good. Chicken and waffle taco is one of the coolest things I've ever eaten - it really tasted like the dish but with a texmex spin. Incredible. My quesabirria was very good as well. Counter service, easy and quick. Place inside is clean and inviting. Decent music playing (at least to me) Pretty sure it cost me like $12? Good deal in 2026. read more

Velvet Taco - Chicken & Waffle - Tacos Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I finally made it over to Velvet Taco to see what the hype was about, and honestly, I'm leaving feeling pretty middle-of-the-road. I wanted to love it more than I did, but it was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I tried a few different things to get a good feel for the menu. The vegan tacos were actually the highlight. The breading had a nice crunch, and that crema on top tied everything together well. I also grabbed the Chips and Queso. I have to give them credit here: the queso had a great swirl of flavor and the blue corn chips were super sturdy and salty, just how I like them. Some of the other tacos felt a bit over-engineered. I tried one that's Korean fried chicken flavor, and while it looked beautiful, the flavors felt a little muddled. It was like there was too much going on and I couldn't really taste the main protein. I'd say it's a solid spot if you're looking for a late-night bite or a "fun" adventurous taco you can't get anywhere else. However, if I'm just craving a really good, simple taco, I think I'd probably head elsewhere. I'm glad I tried it, but I'm not in a huge rush to get back. Would I go back? Maybe for the queso, but probably not for a full meal. read more

The worse customer service ever .. rude employees- they claimed they are closing and store hours are not- still 20 minutes left for closing time. I asked you guys are closing and they were silly and goofy smiling- one of them looked at her watch and said: yes, we are about to. One kid he parked his car next to us and obviously he is not working there but relative to another employee but he was in the kitchen area standing there looking at his phone. Those employees with this attitude will lead the location to close since they don't want to serve the customers and allow them to walk away. Such shame - even doesn't deserve one star read more

Love me some velvet taco. Haven't been to this location before but was in the area so figured why not. I ended up ordering the cheeseburger taco and the chimichurri steak. Both good per usual. I was really sad I was too early to try the crab cake taco. Maybe they'll bring it back soon so I can try it. All in all, good experience at this location. read more

Last week at Greenville location the queso was questionable. Seems they changed cheese quality I always liked the Margherita but this time it was HORRIBLE and becs I waited a week to order another meal, the manager said too late. Anyway I was not expecting a refund but certainly not the attitude. The company seems to have new ownership and management so quality and employees cannot be expected to be great !!! At the Greenville location when I have ordered there since 2010!!!! Management and quality of food need to improve. Otherwise Torchy and other taco takeouts will take over the customers!!!! read more

Another oldie but goodie! I stuffed myself silly at what supposed to be a lunch meeting. Lol I ordered the paneer taco which is my favorite, with such good flavors if you want non-meat alternative. I also had the tots with an egg on top.OMG!!! So good. If you like elotes, try the dip, it's a great addition as a side! read more

Young male Latino took our order - looked maybe 18- very dry and unwelcoming . We ordered steak bowl extra protein- very little steak and very little rice . Margarita super sweet / atmosphere not cozy at all The guy was on cell phone and had ear buds whole time . Restaurant did not appear clean . This location will not last ! Will never go back ! Stay away and save your money and time read more

Came here for a quick lunch date with my wife, got amazing service and a little extra love from staff!

As we live nearby, my wife and I are regular Velvet Taco customers - dining at the Preston Forest location at least once a week. After our visit this evening, I was just going to write about the dwindling and now poor beer selection (come on guys support your local Dallas breweries and how about some IPA's?) but this was truly a bummer of a meal. We got our food to-go since I am not a fan of Miller Lite or Michelob Ultra and when we got home to enjoy our tacos, not only was the guacamole really whipped and a bit sour, but there was a hair in my Bacon Smash Burger. Nothing like a nice long hair to totally turn your meal upside down. We like VT and the folks at Preston Center are great - but there has definitely been a decline in choices and overall quality. So to ownership - don't continue to cut corners....there is too much competition out there and it doesn't take much to ruin a really good thing / reputation. And did I mention the beer selection...yes I did. read more

Outstanding food. Eat here. You will have happy tastebuds and a full belly. Customer service is great. The end. read more

Velvet Taco - Tacos Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My chicken tacos were delish- highly recommend the picnic one! Two tacos, a side of chips and queso plus a drink was $14.50- VERY fair price for that much food at this quality level. Enjoyable atmosphere and clean everything- beverage area, all dining room tables and bathroom. Freddy was awesome ringing us up, super kind to my mom and very patient. Get over there- and don't forget to grab some red velvet cake! read more

The food is great the service was awesome it was clean the the servers was friendly too..

This location has the world's rudest, most entitled, and threatening manager. Velvet Taco Corp should be EXTREMELY concerned that they left her in charge. From the time we walked in, she was rude. She gave us a glare at walking in around 9:00 PM even though they had an entire hour left to stay open. Then, when we ordered she tried to tell me their Margarita/sangria machines were down even though they were fully working right in front of our eyes. After a few back-and-forth conversations, she finally said she would give me my sangrita order. She ran it up on the register and I noticed it was $10 versus the $8.50 that is clearly stated on the label of the sangrita machine. I questioned her about this and she got extremely defensive and said she wouldn't serve me. This went back and forth and she said she could change the price of any of the items whenever she wanted. WHAT?? How is this legal when it's clearly marked $8.50 by velvet taco corporate. As a long time VT eater, I've never had such a bad experience! This manager is a thief and threatening to customers. I will never return back to this location! read more

Great customer service, great food, and great atmosphere. Angus brisket is a must try!

I'm from out of town and this is the second review of this particular velvet taco. Not sure about the other ones. But THIS ONE is awesome. Had the breakfast taco and the beef brisket, and both were amazing. This taco joint surpasses Torchy's (sorry to name names) and all the other ones I've been to in terms of quality and size and overall flavor. And the frozen margarita is great. Wonderful. read more

I know that this is a taco joint BUT I must start off by saying that the RED VELVET cake is to dieeee forrrr! Get it! The tacos are yummy and worth every penny! At first, I thought that they were a little pricey, but when I saw all the delicious toppings that were packed on top...it made it worth the price. I tried the Green Chile Pork, Slow Roasted Angus Brisket and the Beer Battered Cauliflower. All of them were delicious but the Brisket was my favorite! The tacos are a good side so I would only recommend getting 2. Can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. read more

Velvet Taco - Pork, brisket, cauliflower, brisket - Tacos Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Definitely understand the Texas hype about this place now, they are literally everywhere in Dallas... & they're even drive-thru because apparently you Texans don't mess around with your tacos/mexican food... or should I say "tex-mex" as you guys call it. Tacos are great, the numerous different style tacos is a pretty cool concept, seems to get pretty packed fast. Chicken and waffle tacos were great except for the fact that the waffle they make it with is so thin that it just falls apart as you hold it.. I'd definitely recommend using thicker waffles in the making of those. The chips had a soggy chip in the mix but they gave us a new bag. Besides that, we had a great time and I totally understand the hype of it all. read more

They got rid of the Picnic Chicken taco! Not sure why they would get rid of one of the most popular tacos. That was the best taco. Not going back now. read more

To go / take out orders are not good. Dine in or go to any other taco. So disappointing -

Tried the restaurant on Preston. All of the tacos sound so cool! Not so much. I tried the Nashvile Hot Tofu. There's nothing Nashville Hot about it on terms of spice or flavor. Very one note in terms of flavor. The crunch of the tofu was pretty doggone amazing! That and the crunch of the slaw were the only good things about it. My other taco was the slow roasted Angus brisket. The meat was tasty, tender & plentiful, but it was lacking in overall flavor. Neither were good enough to order again. My son ordered the Cuban Pig and the Grilled Flank Steak tacos, plus the "Crisp tots and local egg". I asked of he liked his tacos and would he order them again. He said that while the meat was tender and tasty, he wasn't impressed with the overall flavors and wouldn't order again. He also has refused to go back. The absolute fail of the visit was the tater tots dish. An absolute waste of money, except that the tots were very nicely crispy.....and tasteless. The egg was over cooked, except one little drizzle of yolk. The goat cheese & bacon crumbles were hidden under the egg in a pile & 99% of the tots had nothing on them. The cheddar cheese was a half melted hard glob at the bottom, nested between the tots. I did go back and tried the chicken tinga and the elotes. The chicken tinga taco was so salty and the raita sauce was not a legit raita at all and added nothing to the taste of the taco. The rice wasn't bad, but the moist rice made the taco fall apart. The elotes was OK, I have definitely had far better. They do serve it with a huge amount of chips, if that's how you eat yours. The margaritas are good, but not good enough for me to try anything else there again. ... read more

We went here because it had vegan options. I was excited to go here the menu looked delicious. The location we dined served everything cold, the filling should have been hot . The cauliflower was supposed to be hot. It tasted like it was sitting around for awhile not fresh at all. Tortillas were ice cold. The sauces they put on the tacos were heavy and my tacos had so much sauce they were soggy and wet. Menu has lots of options. I would go back and give it one more try and ask for sauces on the side. read more

Quick eats, and they're pretty tasty with some unusual combinations. (Those who want picadillo with lettuce, tomato, and cheese should look elsewhere.) Service is quick and much of it is self-serve meaning it was awesome. Ambiance is what you'd think for fast tacos, but they have some big tables that invite one to make new friends. Velvet Taco has adult beverages and they offered $5 margaritas is you wore your Texas Ranger gear on the World Series World Championship parade day!!! Go Rangers. read more

We started going to Velvet Taco at this location at Preston because... the tacos are incredible tasty. The Nashville Hot Tofu , and the Chicken Tikka are the best!! We like to order them on a lettuce wrap and they are delicious! They are crispy and flavorful. The Tikka sauce covers the chicken tenders so generously that it usually drips off at the first bite. The Rotisserie Chicken Bowl is a good alternative for those who are watching their calories intake, but still want to eat good meal without the guilt. The Coconut Curry Queso is a really good option as an appetizer. The Grilled Flank Steak and Rotisserie Chicken taco are my child's favorite ones. I also recommend the brisket nachos ...they are yummy! My husband likes to try the Taco of the Week which is a new taco every week . The list is endless, so I invite you to try this place yourself. The service provided by its staff are very friendly, specially Ms Yuridia (at the register), she always do great and beyond. Also, the very hardworking people back the stage (chefs/cooks/chefs). I am very impressed by their consistency on cooking these tacos at Velvet Taco these heroes' names are: Mr Damazo, Ms Sandy, Ms Diana, and Mr. Irwing. So, I highly recommend this place if you want to have a great experience!!! Lastly but not least, the restaurant is very clean, and neat. read more

I love that they are opened until 12am. I came here very late at night and I got a few tacos but every time I come here I always question why are all the tacos so salty? I tried the Korean taco with pork for the first time and I couldn't even enjoy it because the pork had so much salt on it. Same thing with any brisket taco. Everything on the menu is great honestly but I find it hard to enjoy any of the tacos because of this. I love the elote, nachos and red velvet cake they are absolutely delicious and I will be a returning customer but I felt that I needed to express my concerns about the meat here. Maybe it's brined too long? Not sure but if you got high blood pressure issues stay clear from all the tacos. read more

I was in town for a wedding and all I ever heard were people raving about this place! I knew I had to stop here before I went home. I knew hands down I wanted the chicken tikka taco - being an Indian, this was a no brainer for me. For my other choice, I asked the man taking my order for a suggestion and he suggested the brisket taco. Tacos come in servings of 1 taco and are kinda pricey - $4-$6/taco. I had the chicken tikka taco and was disappointed- it was pretty bland, having no spice whatsoever. The brisket taco however was so juicy and flavorful. Unfortunately, I got too full and couldn't finish it but it's definitely worth it. read more

My first time to this location of Velvet Taco and was not disappointed. The menu is the same and the staff are friendly. The space is much larger with a lot of outdoor seating. The tacos lived up to the Knox and Henderson standards and the margaritas were good. I like the casual atmosphere and the fact that people are not waiting for a table as you finish your tacos. Nice to see branches of Velvet Taco open up, as long as they maintain the quality and standards. Thumbs up to this place! read more

I was in Dallas for the weekend and in need of a late night snack for take out. Velvet Taco's late hours made this a winner. I got the grilled salmon taco (gluten free) and the tater tots with an egg and no cheese (kind of like reliving childhood). Great value for the amount of food. I heard the red velvet plus sauce was amazing as well. Wish they would have checked vaccination status but maybe that's not a Dallas thing? Great for a late quick bite at a reasonable price. read more

#3 Spicy Tikka Chicken was everything and more!!! Highly recommended by the store manager and every bite was worth it. #2 Rotisserie Chicken was yummy. 24 process and straight off the bomb amazing! Korean Fried Rice could have done without. #15 Grilled Salmon w/ cold slaw in it Red Velvet cake let's just say stick to tacos. I bake so I'm choicey desserts But yes savory and best experience Advice: order one or 2 at most with a side. There super filling and I am a bigger girl! read more

Velvet Taco - #2 #3 #8 #11 Grilled Flank Steak #16 Fish n' Chips #15 Grilled Salmon Crisp Tots & Local Egg - Tacos Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've been going to this location for the past year with no issues, but last night I got their salmon tacos, (which I've gotten a couple times in the past) and I think it gave me a food poisoning (severe tummy issues ~30 minutes after eating them). It was near the end of the day, so I'm wondering if they used salmon that was just sitting around? Giving two stars because all the other tacos I've had there have been great. read more

First off, the honey chipotle taco is so so good! Today is March 13th, you have 3 more days until it's no longer available! It features crisp tenders, honey chipotle sauce, ranch crema, napa slaw, carrots, avocado, elote spice, micro greens and it's served on a flour tortilla. I don't even like avocados (I know, I know) but best believe I ate the entire taco as is. Had I known it was this good I would have gotten two. The Chicken & waffle taco was good but not great. I would suggest eating it in the restaurant, as you can see below my taco broke by the time I got home (around 10 mins later). The waffle taco was sweet & cinnamony, and probably my favorite part about the entire taco. The cabbage slaw was a bit acidic and adds a nice touch to balance out the sweetness of the taco shell. I probably won't order it again, I rather just have actual chicken & waffles. Service could have been better, I only ordered two tacos to go, yet waited almost 20 minutes. Normally I wouldn't point this out, but I noticed that several dine in guests (who ordered after me) were given their food before me. read more
