Lupe and Jerry were amazing. We came here back to back nights for dinner. Some of the most delicious tacos that I have ever had in my like. Highly recommend the Burris duo and Korean fried rice were outstanding....could eat them for a week straight. Great place in Austin and a must check out if you are close to 6th street.

My friend and I came here for a goodbye dinner (I'm leaving Austin-- big sad) and we had great time. All the tacos were reasonably priced for Austin, and the interior had this cool low-ceiling kind of divey feel which was neat. The food came out promptly and tasted great, and all the tacos were really decent portion sizes. I'd say the only slight downsides to Velvet was that the service and cleanliness of the place were both fairly average, although it wasn't bad enough to detract a star. Aside from that, everything was A+ and I'd definitely go again. Oh wait, I won't be in Austin anymore. RIP.

Amazing tacos and great vibe. Love the feel of this place, walking in with huge menus to peruse as you wait. Great selection of tacos from chicken, port, steak, and veggie. Awesome drinks too. Only issue is the price tag, 20 bucks for 3 tacos and a drink feels like a lot .

We were in town and needed something quick and easy for a late dinner. Walking on Congress and saw Velvet Taco. Being for the Dallas area, I am very familiar with this restaurant and we were not disappointed for a quick bit. Always a great selection of taco options. From the simple to the extraordinary mix of textures and flavors. Plenty of seating and it's comfortable. We will return on our next visit to the city and in need of a taco fix. Make sure you stop by and give them a try. Enjoy!

In town for the UT game. We have been to the velvet taco before and decided to go for a quick solid meal.The velvet taco did not disappoint. We started with queso and chips. The queso was real good that came with green chiles. The green chile salsa added the perfect amount of heat to go with the creamy queso.We ordered a combination of salmon, shrimp and buffalo chicken tacos. All three were excellent.Tip of the day: the salsa is very good but be real conservative with the amount you add to fish or shrimp tacos because it will overpower the mild fish/shrimp.Plenty of space inside that easily accommodates small or large parties.Staff was very friendly and service was super fast.Excellent experience.

BIG fan of Velvet Taco.I'm an East Coaster visiting Austin for work and heard good things, so decided to stop by. Their tacos were so good, I came back again the day after.Super impressed with their vegetarian options (the Nashville hot tofu was my favorite) and the service was outstanding. My only complaint is that I don't have a location closer to my house.Don't hesitate - RUN to Velvet Taco!

Great spot to stop for lunch. The birria tacos were like cheesy shredded beef quesadillas with this yummy dip. The elote corn was cheesy and delicious. Guac good too. Margarita was tasty too. Liked the 2 taco and side combo.
