We've lived in Rockwall for two years and finally decided to give Velvet Taco a try after my sister recommended it for years, and now I see why! My husband and I ordered the combo meal, which included two tacos, a drink, and a side of queso. I had the Fish & Chips taco... it was AMAZING. I worked at Captain D's for years, and they could definitely learn a few things from Velvet Taco. The fish was perfectly crunchy, the ingredients were fresh, and they even included actual crunchy potato chips. My husband ordered the salmon taco and said it was absolutely delicious. He enjoyed it so much that he went back and ordered a second taco, the Pork Al Pastor, and loved that one too! When he told Gustavo how great everything was, Gustavo said, "You can always leave us a review." I was already planning to! To top it all off, we celebrated my husband's birthday with a delicious slice of red velvet cake. By far one of the best places to get fresh, flavorful tacos in Rockwall. Great food, an amazing team, and a very clean restaurant. And don't forget to ask about the military discount! read more

It's Cinco de Mayo where else would we go?! What we had : Combo's - beef chimichuri, roasted chicken, chicken tikka, guacamole and queso. As Always-Absolutely delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully served. The tacos were packed with great ingredients, but the real standout was the queso -- it was basically liquid gold. Creamy, rich, and just the right amount of spice without being too much. So good we could have eaten it by itself! Definitely adding this to my regular order. The service was also excellent, friendly, attentive, and helpful. We really appreciated the recommendation to try the queso because it ended up being one of the best parts of the meal. I have many of the tacos and bowls and never been disappointed. Place is always clean, even the bathrooms. Great food, great service, and definitely a place worth coming back to over and over as we do! read more

Came on a strong recommendation. Whereas at a fast casual taco place, I've made the mistake of adding too much stuff to my taco, Velvet Taco did that for me this time. Salmon taco had a tasty slaw but it was mostly slaw with a few pieces of fish. The fish was grilled well but I wish I had more of it in my taco. read more

We love this place! It's our go to when we come to Rockwall. Love trying the weekly taco. Nice friendly employees and managers. Queso is awesome. read more

I love the food here. I always get the Angus beef tacos coated in Parmesan cheese shell, delicious. It's expensive for 1 taco so I was happy to see the $14.99 special with two tacos and guac and chips. The guac and chips are great. So are the margaritas. I haven't tried the Red Velvet cake, too many calories. read more

This location is clean, quick, & the workers were pleasant, would definitely come back!

I say it's good just not what your looking for if you want true Mexican tacos but idk I ordered quesa birria and it was too cheesy I had to spit out some, tho amazing staff, cool inside, but WHY is the only salsa there taste like Valentina .... No Sabo Mexican kid type restaurant read more

My son recommended we dine at their Rockwall location as he goes to their Beltline/DNT location and loves it. I'm not a tacos fan. But Velvet Tacos changed that. I loved the fish tacos. Crispiness of fish was perfect and tacos were soooo good! I'll surely be back many many times! read more

Love the food here. They always make it fresh to order and it is always delicious. The service is friendly and helpful. It's a cool place with a chill vibe and you don't have to feel pressured to look cute. There's always good music playing. Bathrooms could be cleaned better though! read more

Mexi-Cali is one of my favorites. Super bummed they took the shrimp and grits taco off the menu. Elote is really good as well as the brisket nachos, brisket is tender and flavorful. Service was nice and friendly and I love the taco to go boxes they have. read more

great place. great food. Always a great place to go with food. we will always keep coming back

The food here is ALWAYS EXCELLENT! Miguel and Atlantis gave me 100 star service! The ambience is excellent as well

Great service, better food! You HAVE to try this place! Flavors are pronounced but well balanced. The buffalo cauliflower is a must!

We went on opening night a bit before prime time. The restaurant was fully staffed and on point. I like velvet taco and have been to other locations many times so when I say this was probably the best execution of their tacos I have seen, it is with a fair amount of trials. We tried the Tikka Chicken, Buffalo Chicken, Korean Fried Rice, and Egg Roll tacos. Everything came out fairly fast but made to order, was crisp and not over sauced, and well put together. The staff is friendly but efficient and management came by to ask how our experience was and what our favorites were. Make sure you try the curry queso... read more

I've been back to this Velvet Taco location a couple more times since the nacho incident and have had an excellent experience both times. On our first return trip, we once again ordered the brisket nachos and they were delicious and had ample brisket! On our second return visit, my husband ordered his usual two tacos while I ordered the elote/guacamole dip with chips. (I can't get enough of that combo!). I also ordered my usual sangria and it was excellent as well! Tables were also wiped down and clean. I'm loving this new addition to our town! read more

Velvet Taco - Brisket nachos - 7/22/23 - New American Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

While the food was fresh when I look at what I spent versus what I received I'm not sure that it was worth it. I will say that the vegetables are very fresh and there is care put into each taco. Which is why I rated a 4 instead of a 3. But with that, if I'm going to spend $13 on 2 street tacos I don't want to be hungry when I'm done. read more

Jennifer took a quick order in a friendly atmosphere. Love the buffalo chicken tacos, queso and prompt service in dining room or drive thru

Since they did just open, I'll give them another try in about 3 months after they get their "sea legs." The following was my 1st impression. It was okay. Not bad. Not great. It's the sort of place you go because you and your buddies can't agree. Everyone will be quasi satisfied. We shared 4 different tacos: 2 different beef tacos, a shrimp and the falafel . There was a strong sauce on all but the falafel, which made the tacos taste similar to me. They had no chips, which is no bueno for a (predominantly) Mexican food restaurant. The counter service was good. The restaurant was clean. The stools were not comfortable for a 5'2 person, because my feet dangled, but they are somewhat adjustable. read more

Dude. Awesome. Very impressed for opening week to have such good service and such good food. I'll be rooting for this place and will be back soon. My wife had the vegan options, and they were very good. I honestly liked them better than the Korean Fried Rice pork taco I had. Nashville Hot Tofu...killer. Who knew? And the Beer-Battered Cauliflower is really good too. Rockwall needed another good taco place. Torchy's is very good but so is Velvet Taco, and they each have their own unique twist on tacos. read more

Love me some Velvet Taco!! Very consistent with any other VT at any other location, as if management and employees were brought from other locations to start this one up. The food is excellent, as is the service. It might be a semi regular spot for me. Only issue is the parking. Not much parking and very tight spots. Great ambience too! read more

The name left us in shambles on our first trip to Rockwall. When we walked downstairs for dinner - I nearly peed my pants when I saw what mom had ordered. The Velvet Taco once we got past the fit of giggles we bit into our food and oh my gosh it was so stinkin good. The combination of flavors explode in your mouth in the best ways! I am fairly picky but there wasn't anything I didn't try. Absolutely delicious! read more

Tried this place for the first time today. I signed up on the app and got a free queso. It was white cheese dip which is my favorite. It had some spice to it but was very delicious. I tried the chicken and waffle taco which was awesome and unlike anything I've tried before. My husband tried a couple different steak tacos and really liked them. I'm a little disappointed the app didn't give me any points for my order. I'm not sure what happened at the register. It was a little strange. read more

The food was really good. But look, we ordered three tacos, an appetizer, and two drinks and it was over $45. I mean come on guys. I would expect to pay that much at a food truck at a festival somewhere. It's just not worth it for 3 tacos! read more

Had the buffalo chicken taco and the picnic chicken taco along with a frozen margarita. Both tacos were excellent, I've attached a copy of their taco menu as they have numerous choices. Adding potato salad to the chicken is a stroke of genius !! Yes, I'll be back. read more
