    Ordered two tacos and a drink and came in at $17. Service was good. The cashier was friendly. The food came out quickly but I was underwhelmed by the price I paid for the small portions of food. The smash bacon burger taco tasted great but the chicken tikka was pretty mid and mostly rice. Dining room was half full and pretty loud, but had a good vibe.

    Shrimp & cauliflower tacos

    Take out. First visit. Me-- fried cauliflower taco and spicy shrimp taco which I'd hesitated to order because of the kimchi-- just not my thing usually. But the pleasant order taker explained that it was their own sauce, not a heavily fermented kimchi. And it was very much like the "kimchi " I make using an Asian recipe that calls for 7up. We were there at 4:30 and the place was a mess -- corn kernels on tables and floor. Actually, I cannot imagine eating in that atmosphere. But the food was delicious. I truly liked my tacos and hubby enjoyed the "beef bowl of the day ". Check out their menu. So many mouthwatering choices, even if you want tofu. Or nothing but vege. They offer limited, yet somewhat varied, cocktail and beer choices. I might not want to eat there but I can sure see myself indulging as I wait for my order. Wonder if I can get a margarita to go with my carry out food? After licking our plates clean, we dug in. We both had ordered their red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. The portion is ginormous. We both thought ours was dry, as in day old dry. (Beware, it Didn't look anything like the pix on their menu. Who needs that much sugar anyway?) It's in the hood, the food is creative, craveable, different, well thought out, and be sure to check out their "WTF" (weekly taco feature) menu. Ingenious rotating tasties. See me/us driving through there often.

    Fish taco

    The food was AMAZING! I had my doubts going in but oh my goodness, I can't wait to go back, honestly, it will probably be tomorrow! The fish taco was divine. The crab cakes were perfection. The dip trio was so good, we could not decide which one we liked best! This place will get you hooked! We were so full yet kept eating! Inwill be back SOON!

    Brisket nachos

    The food was very flavorful ordered Brisket Nachos and my friend ordered chicken and waffle taco with side of queso. I had minor in conscience and Ez took care of my needs very friendly and customer service equipped. Would recommend.

    Spicy Tikka Taco and Korean Rice Taco

    Driving through and grabbed a Spicy Tikka Chicken Taco (delicious) and a Korean fried rice taco. Price point on dishes worth it. Thumbs up--and I want another Tikka Taco!

    Gourmet tacos, tastes super fresh even at 12 midnight. Staff was friendly and nice very attentive. Cute store. I love the menu there is something for everyone. Fish, Chicken, Beef, Pork and Vegetarian options. A must try for late night food. Drive thru can take a while

    Chicken and waffle taco and rotisserie chicken taco
    Katy W.

    The food was delicious, really nice staff, we will definitely return here! We ordered online while on our way!

    A plus is that it is open late! Minus--cleanliness. It was around 10:00 when we stopped in and while most tables were occupied we found a spot. But, we had to grab a paper towel and wipe the crumbs off our own table. Ordering staff was OK. I ordered a Tikka Masala and a cauliflower taco. The Hubs ordered a Buffalo chicken and a brisket taco. All four tacos came in the same serving tray and nothing was labeled. Of course, we could tell the difference between the cauliflower and the brisket, but we mistook the Buffalo Chicken and the Tikka Masala. (That was OK because the bite I had of the Buffalo chicken was great.) Note that tacos are much bigger than a normal street taco and are stuffed full so they are a bit messy to eat. If you need a quick drive-thru, I would recommend, Not so much on eating in. Probably adding to the "been there/done that" list.

    All the tacos
    Camillia E.

    Love the walk in, order and sit down flow. Menu is organized by meat type. I've been here probably ten times and all staff are great. The communal seating at bar height if great but they also have smaller tables. Make sure to try the favorites! If your on a diet they have the cals. Although, not a place to watch those. Especially if you get the moist red velvet cake.

    Chips and salsa

    The salsa is not good at all. It's like crab cake/dumpling filling, so weird texture and also very very warm. The chips are decent, but nothing special.

    Great hospitality, great food, cold drinks, great atmosphere. Love it went with a new group of friends!

    First time at Velvet Taco last night... pretty good experience! I always love more interesting versions of foods, so when I saw the menu full of fun taco flavors, I was happy. I ordered the chicken tikka taco and the Buffalo chicken taco. Of these two, I definitely preferred the tikka - great flavor, the sauce is what makes this one for sure. The Buffalo chicken definitely wasn't bad, but I'm not sure I'd order it again. Though I enjoy bleu cheese, the flavor of it was a tad too much within the overall balance of the taco. I also felt like the Buffalo sauce was quite vinegar-y/ tart. Sometimes I like it like that, but I feel like especially given that it was a taco, it could have had a bit more of the hot flavor come through. The chicken itself on both tacos was great... very tender and juicy! Also tried a bit of their queso and elote. Both good but nothing crazy. Though I did appreciate that their queso had some extra stuff/ sauces in it so it wasn't just pure cheese (not that pure cheese is a bad thing!)! Also they get extra brownie points for having one of my favorite hot sauce brands available. Mmmm!!! All the workers I interacted with were very nice. I like that they don't close the lobby until 11, so it's an option if it's a bit later.

    Happy Taco Tuesday to me! and to you! Velvet tacos has an original and mouthwatering menu. The place has a fun and funky vibe. The people are pleasant, skilled, and informative. The food is delicious and the drinks are pretty darn good too. They serve coca-cola products (yay), coffee, tea, iced tea, lemonade, jarritos, topochico, and a limited alcohol selection (beer, hard seltzer, margs, Paloma's, and ranch water). Velvet taco offers dine-in, carry out, and delivery.

I've heard of the highly lauded 918 Maples Tacos & Cantina many times since I moved back so I finally decided to try it on August 28th, 2025. Since then, I've experienced 918 Maples on different occasions and I'd say that it deserves the high praise. I've eaten at 918 Maples atleast 4 times, twice at the food truck (4931 S Union Ave.) and twice at this location. On 8/28, I arrived around 5:50pm. The walls are filled with color & different decorations, from murals to Latin-American art as well as TV's behind the bar for entertainment. The area is very home-like, compact, with just enough space for walking lanes. There's only one booth while the rest of the seating is either tables or at the bar. The host podium is at the door immediately upon entrance, I sat at the bar. Their menus are large but not overwhelming. On Tuesdays, tacos are $2 each. This doesn't include Birria, fish or Shrimp which are $3 or $4 on Tuesdays. My server was Diego, great guy! I ordered 5 Tacos: 2 Birria, 1 chicken 1 Carne Asada and 1 El Pastor. I also ordered a Paloma and a small queso. The meal comes with chips & Salsa, brought out immediately. Their chips are thicker and their salsa is mild. Add a little salt, good to go! I'm a fan of white queso but I particularly enjoyed theirs, worth the $2. The food came out within 10mins, not long at all. Two ramekins of salsa & 4 tacos. Each taco was amazing individually. The el pastor had crispy edges on the meat, the carne asada was soft & delicate while the birria was to DIE for. Only criticism is that the chicken was a little too salty but not terrible overall. As I mentioned, I ordered 5 tacos, queso & a Paloma but only received 4 tacos. I wasn't upset about the paloma, I could do without. But, I was a little uneasy about being shorted 1 taco, especially since I paid for 5. However, I didn't fret. I paid the bill & praised the staff because they deserve it! Since then, I've returned once or twice. Each time, usually on a Tuesday, the space is decently filled which a sign of a well-run & good quality establishment and the food is just as good. I consistently ordered tacos but I would gladly try their Queso Chicken, Rustic Quesadilla, or Birria Pizza. I've had their tacos at their food truck as well and, though the ambiance isn't comparable, the service is sweeter & the food is just as good. Bummer that their food truck doesn't do discounted tacos on Tuesdays. Photos here are from 8/26/25, 9/16/25 and 1/6/26. Had it not been for the forgotten taco, this would be a FULL 5-Star review!

Add "everything ," which means salsa, cilantro, onions, etc. to get the full flavor. The chunks of meat in the steak tacos are chopped more finely than at some other places, which gets them a higher score. It's easier to eat and not so chewy. The family running the restaurant has always been warm and friendly, and I've been eating here for many years. Be patient as a long line can appear suddenly. You'll be rewarded in the end with a delicious plate of food though, and they have 6-8 flavors of aquas frescas, which have become a new favorite thing for me. If you have a sensitive stomach (think hangover or sickness) the pepino aqua fresca will heal you. The water of life it is!

But, it was difficult for me to look past someone being extremely rude at the register. The ladies in the kitchen were super nice though! My burrito was mostly beans and lacking flavor for Al pastor meat. At nearly $11 it's tough to say this was a winner. Either way, the building was clean, plenty of seating, but sooo quiet. Definitely not your typical Mexican joint playing music with a joyful atmosphere.

Youth Services helps young people experiencing homelessness and other challenges by providing counseling and youth programming. T-Town Tacos is their employment readiness program that helps youth by equipping them with the employment skills they need to create a better future for themselves. Not only do they have an amazing mission, but the tacos themselves are delicious and affordable. They have four options for breakfast tacos ($3 each): veggie, chorizo, bacon or sausage, egg & cheese. They all have flour tortillas and amazing flavor. My favorite is the sausage, egg & cheese taco, they use a spiced sausage that I love. For lunch tacos ($4 each), their options are: pork carnitas, chicken fajita, bean & Veggie, or chipotle beef. My favorite is the pork carnitas, the roasted poblano they use is delicious. They also have three salsas available, all made from scratch: traditional roja (tomato+peppers), creamy verde (tomatillo+avocado) and cream salsa (jalapeño+cilantro+ citrus). You can't go wrong with either but I like the verde. If you ever need breakfast or lunch for an event or meeting during the week, their tacos are the way to go. You have to order at least 20 tacos and order with at least 24 hours in advance. Their online catering request makes things super easy. All you need to do is fill out the form on their site with the tacos you need. They conveniently offer delivery to the metro area. Your order is then confirmed by email or phone call after submitting the form. You can also find their trikes serving tacos every Tuesday from 7-9am on 1st and Boston downtown.
