Totally in love with this place! So economical with such a wide menu. Atmosphere is so lively. Service is quick. And everything is just great. We tried the Chicken tikka taco and Beer battered cauliflower taco. Loved them both!

Great cheap and fast bites! Although $5 is pricey for a taco it does have an elevated fusion flavor to it. I got the spicy tikki chicken taco and it came with with and sauces. It was great! If it had a touch of less sauce it'd be perfect.Seating was open, surprisingly clean, and quick as well as service during a late evening. Would recommend this place for food if your hungry past midnight

I've tried a different Velvet Taco location before but it was my first time at this location. Store was clean, employees were friendly, food came out pretty quickly, and it was spacious with indoor and outdoor seating.I ordered 3 tacos: 1) Mexi-Cal shrimp 2) slow-roasted angus brisket 3) fish n chips. I remember liking the fish n chips the other time I came and it was still good this time around. It was a popular one amongst the other members of my party. They also liked the grilled steak a lot, so I'll have to try that one next time. I liked the slow-roasted angus brisket better than the Mexi-Cal shrimp. I think I would enjoy these tacos more if they could be on corn tortillas. Overall I think the tacos are decent but everything else hits the mark (service, cleanliness, convenience, spaciousness, etc.).

Fun concept. Variety of different types of tacos. Non traditional types of tacos. They also have a special taco every week for that week. I tried the chicken tiki and Korean beef tacos. I opted for the side of chips. My friend got the rice. The restaurant was clean with a rustic decor. The service was nice and pretty fast. I wanted to love this place so badly. The tacos were just ok. They lacked depth of flavor.

A hankering for tacos led us to Deep Ellum and the Velvet Taco therein. We were happy to find a clean, well-air-conditioned interior (yet there were still folks eating al fresco on the 102-degree patio!). We ordered several tacos - my favorite was the fish & chips taco - flaky, crispy filets drizzled with a curry dressing and nestled into a dry slaw and crispies underneath. Also extra good was the Mexican-Cali Shrimp - spicy, blackened shrimp with a good mix of heat and flavor. Top it off with a slice of sweet, moist red velvet cake and wash it down with a Topo Chico! Glad I visited, you should too!

This is a super cool place with great vibes and great music (little loud, but good). Cool art and artwork throughout.SERVICE: Fabulous! Greeted right when I came in and they were very helpful in finding the right taco for me. Nice people!FOOD: OMG! Tacos came out huge and the flavors were so unique and outstanding. I tried the Cuban Pig and the Korean Fried Rice taco. Both very flavorful, but the KFR was my favorite with enough spice and pineapple to complement the super tasty pork and fried rice - did I say Yummerz?!? I also had the chips and guac just to make sure I was full...I am now overstuffed, but happy!!If you are near Deep Ellum or staying at the Kimpton nearby...take the short walk, you won't regret it. I only wish I tried it yesterday.Nice job Velvet Taco....

Velvet Taco exceeded our expectations! My husband and I both agreed that these were some of the best tacos we've ever had. I ordered all three of the vegetarian tacos, and each one was a delightful surprise--so different yet bursting with flavor. It's rare to find such creative vegetarian options! My husband couldn't stop raving about the chicken and waffles taco, which was his favorite, but the queso birria and fried cauliflower tacos were also hits. The gentleman who took our order at the counter was very nice, making us feel welcome from the start. The cool vibe of the place added to the experience, and it was impressively clean, even the restroom. If we ever find ourselves near a Velvet Taco again, it's an easy decision--we'll definitely be back!

Parking is Downtown Parking, so it's more timing than anything. Place was immaculately clean and the patio was as cool as possible and that was comfortable given the heat. I love the orders being plaved opposite of pickup and it prevents congestion. I ordered the number 11 and 11.5. Tacos were excellent and those tots were amazing. It doesn't take a lot to get full here at all and their prices have remained reasonable. Almost always a stop if I'm doing a chain restaurant.
