Velvet taco is a frequent drop-in whenever in the west loop. Generally the Asada, fish n chips and chicken tikka are solid choices but at times they tend to go overboard with the sauce and it gets somewhat overwhelming. Unfortunately, the last couple of times that was the case and hence the 3 stars. If they can get the balance right again I'm sure they are good enough to be a 4/5 taco option!

This location has plenty of seating. We were a group of 6 and found some seats on the first floor. As vegetarians we tried the following :Tofu : 5/5. This is by far my favorite. It is the right amount of crispy.Paneer: 2/5. This was just okay. The paneer was rubbery.Cauliflower: 3/5. I found this to be just okay , but my husband liked this the best.

Velvet taco has been my go to ever since I went to the first ever velvet taco in Texas. Their food menu items are so creative and so delicious. My absolute favorite is the Nashville hot tofu taco. I love the slight crunch and slight spiciness of the tofu balanced by crunchy pickles. I also love the chicken tikka taco. Never did I think that rice in a taco would taste good. The beer battered cauliflower is yummy too, I like the southern take on fried cauliflower. The service is very fast usually and I love the fact that you can order, grab your table and chat with your friends while they call out your name when you order is ready. The ambience is very texan with open seating, industrial chairs and tables. Love velvet taco and it is a staple for me, especially on weekends when you need yummy food after a night of drinking.

Velvet taco is a classic quick bite to eat or drunk spot. There are a variety of tacos and love that there is fusion of flavors. I love that you can sub out most tacos for paneer if you are vegetarian so I like to do the paneer tikka masala. I also love their queso and chips. The service is usually quick and there are two floors so you usually can find seating

I was craving Velvet Taco and hence decided to order it for lunch. I usually order Nashville Hot Tofu as that is the only vegan option available (although it's not completely vegan as it has sour cream over it) i love the crispy tofu combination with tacos, and the sauces are very flavorful. I have tried their paneer tikka tacos, falafel tacos, beer battered cauliflower tacos and even spicy chicken tikka taco in the past. All their tacos are good, I liked the spicy chicken tikka taco the most where they combined chicken with basmati rice and basil. Hoping they bring a similar combination in one of their vegan options as I've quit meat! Hoping they have more Vegan options in the future! Velvet Taco is in major metropolitan areas such as Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Nashville. Dallas is the birthplace of Velvet Taco. Velvet Taco was my first meal in the USA when I moved in 2016 and it will indeed always be special!P.S. If you like spicy food, make sure to ask for their hot sauces as they definitely elevate the taste of this Indo-Mexican fusion tacos. They usually mess up sending these sauces for their take out orders.

Velvet Taco at Fulton Market is a lively spot with plenty of seating. My sister wanted to relive her college days in Texas, so we decided to indulge in some tacos. I love this place too! We tried the spicy tikka chicken, fried paneer taco, and my sister's favorite, the kids tots. We also couldn't resist the famous slice of red velvet cake and my personal favorite, the elote corn. Despite being busy, the line moves fast, and the prices are really fair. If you're looking for a delicious and fun meal, Velvet Taco is a must-try!Open really late so you can always walk in to satisfy your midnight cravings!

One of the signature taco places in Chicago. There is seating on the ground and upper floor with mostly long tables. Bulgogi Walking Taco- nice fusion dish and fun eating out of the bag! Salmon taco was fresh. Steak Chimichurri- it was a little bit greasy, but what good taco isn't? Overall, the food was good but I wouldn't say it was amazing.
