Tried 4 tacos (Mexican Cali shrimp, grilled salmon, Kobe Smash, rotisserie chicken) and all were either too sweet or salty but did like beef Kobe Smash burger. Guacamole and queso dips were good. Upstairs dining was even hotter than downstairs. No air conditioning. 1 Unisex restroom upstairs.

Wow! My 1st time at a Velvet Tacos. Very good fusion & I really liked what they have done with tacos. But I have had better tacos. I loved the Thai curry queso with blue corn chips. Mediterranean Mushroom taco is very good. Not enough seating arrangement. Gets really crowded in the evenings.

Fast and friendly service. I really like the creativity and variety of options. I really enjoyed the brisket and chicken rotisserie tacos. The fried shrimp taco had too much mayo on it for my liking. Their red velvet cake is delicious and moist.

Perfect place to stop by after clubbing, they have right amount of spicy food to make you feel better. Beware of long waits on weekends as people tend to stop by this place after clubs close. The flavors are pretty darn good, not authentic tacos for sure but unique combinations of their flavors amazes you. Chicken tikka, paneer and fish tacos are my favorite. Shrimp taco was not upto the mark. Lately they tend to loose their quality as last 2 times my tacos were soggy though their prices went up.

Between my wife and myself we had 5 of their offerings and all of them were banging. The sweet Chile shrimp had the type of heat that lets you know you are alive but not gonna shoot lava out ya bum later. Salmon taco everything good in life. The chicken and waffle was a trip, well thought out ingredients.

The restaurant is counter service and there are enough seats. The tacos come out quickly. Amazing tacos with great Vegetarian and Vegan options. Would love to come back again.

Definitely worth experiencing if you like to try the unique variety of tacos. I have been to their Dallas location, quality and taste are similar. Their queso is also unique. Worth for a great taco experience.
