91.5 sanitation rating on 8/25/23. Should have left right then, but the people I was with insisted it was fine. The tacos were Americanized tacos lacking depth of flavor. Everything was so spicy, nothing else could be tasted. I’m also fairly certain I have food poisoning. I have never gotten so sick after eating a meal, as I did after eating here.

Velvet Taco on Southend Charlotte is a must-try for anyone looking for delicious and innovative tacos. The menu features a wide variety of tacos, from traditional Mexican flavors to more unique creations. The tacos are all made with high-quality ingredients and are perfectly cooked. The service is also excellent, and the atmosphere is fun and lively.

Every time the food is amazing I always get the #12 something new and the Taco of the week. Their staff is friendly and great but the wait can be long. They have indoor seating, outdoor seating, and a covered outdoor seating that is nice.

I had tacos here once and really liked them and brought my family driving 20 miles from home. Customer service is horrible. Nobody even cares to answer you when they give you food in to go box while we are sitting with the family waiting for the order to eat there. And when I said we wanted to eat here, no response and full of attitude. And then they messed up the order and there is absolutely no sorry there. We were standing and waiting, they didn’t even care to say what happened to our order. Finally we got the food we ordered. Food is good but service is horrible. Avoid it if u want a pleasant experience.

The fish taco was great, the Buffalo fried chicken was ok, and the red curry queso dip was a little salty. Lots of different tacos to choose from. Will try again.

Amazing tacos, we all loved our choices and between the 7 of us we tried at least 10! The Mediterranean mushroom was my favorite, the Nashville hot tofu was very oily.

You have a customer for life! Gary the manager of the southend (Hawkins st) location went over and beyond. He was so kind on the phone when our order had a mistake and brought the corrected order to us himself since we ordered delivery! Amazing. Also the tacos and brisket nachos are always amazing!

Tried this place for takeout on a weekend. Liked the variety and the twist they give to “typical” tacos. We tried the beer battered cauliflower, mexi-cali shrimp, fish n’chips, tacos and elote and chips.
