I was searching Google for good reviews as I’m visiting Houston and wanted to try something I’d never had. I saw good things about this place so I decided to give it a try.

Although they have several locations, I tried the one on Washington. First off the customer service over the phone for a call in order was GREAT!!!!!!! The young lady (didn’t get her name) was very friendly & professional. Since it was my 1st time eating at their establishment I don’t like corn nor onions & she was nice enough to leave them out with no gripe at all.

Not a great experience. The food order got lost in process and had to be started over after waiting for ten minutes. The shredded beef tacos were ok with flavor, but were minimally stuffed with meat (maybe an ounce each) and mostly grilled onions. The prices were high for what you get.

These tacos were some of the best I’ve had! I love that they’re open late, late night and the atmosphere is awesome and laid back. Great place to dine with lots of delicious menu options and priced appropriately. This is one of my favorite late night spots to get good grub!

Venturing into Velvet Taco, we discovered a refreshing, one-of-a-kind boutique taco joint that, despite being part of a chain, exuded an air of exclusivity and individuality. A culinary adventure awaited us, with each dish offering a unique spin on the classic taco.

Trendy Tacos … Think Torchy’s Tacos or Pacific Coast .. fusionish and hip, not your traditional tacos. Lots of interesting kinda combinations you’d never find in a Taqueria. I had the Fish and chips. Not very chippy though. The fillet was crisp and well done. The girl child had the grilled flank steak … Both were on flour tortillas, not asked if we wanted corn. So that may not be an option. But the tortillas looked site made and not from a bag. She like her taco and I liked mine . I didn’t get to try any of hers, she devoured it pretty quick. We shared an order of the tots. She, commented that she liked the tots which is something she doesn’t usually like. All our selections were good and a nifty change from the traditional taco stand. Most of the originality is in their sauces not the protein or other fillings.

This is my go to location. The staff is always friendly & the service is quick. My favorite tacos are the picnic chicken, brisket & chimichurri steak. The queso & guacamole are both great appetizers too!
