9/22/24 Sade was at the cash register and though it was late she was very engaging, kind, patient, and overall friendly. She immediately informed us steak wasn’t available and though we were sadden by this she “upsold” us on some other items. Those items tasted amazing and the drinks were great. This was our first time here after hearing about it so long... we’ll definitely return. Some places have either good food or good service....this place has both! Thanks Sade!

I had the Tikka Chicken, Cauliflower, and Mexican Shrimp Tacos, and they were all so delicious! Each taco is around 6. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

Although Velvet Taco is technically a chain, the unique tacos keep us coming back as if it were a local favorite. The Nashville Hot Tofu taco is my all time favorite that I get every single time. The Sweet Chili Shrimp taco was also amazing this past visit. The atmosphere is fun and is amplified by the Interlock surrounding it. 1-2 tacos and a side is always so filling.

My husband and I loved Velvet Taco! The last time we had it was last year in Charlotte, NC. This location is smaller, but it was clean, and since we went on a weekday, it wasn’t crowded. My favorite is the sweet chile shrimp taco—it’s the best! We ordered the nachos too, and we’re glad we just chose the small one, cause it’s already more than enough for both of us!! The restroom was clean too. Since the store is located right on the corner, you’ll need to park nearby and walk to the store.

the restaurant is located in a very vibrant neighborhood. I ordered the Beer battered cauliflower taco with lettuce wrap and Grilled salmon taco with lettuce wrap. Both were amazing and the lettuce wrap works well with the fillings. We also got the Queso Blanco, which was cheesy heaven.

Staff was friendly and very helpful. They helped us decide what tacos we wanted, offered the combo, cauliflower taco, and salmon taco,with the curry side with chips and, along with 2 pork tacos, and elote as the side. Eveything was very tasty... to the point we ordered salmon tacos togo!! We definitely will be going back!!

What we ordered were tacos and they were tasty, delicious. Everything was on point, the only thing I didn't like was the theme of the line you have to wait to take the order, the only good thing is that it moves quickly and the orders arrive quickly equally.
