Velvet Taco is a cool chain that offers some seriously unique taco options. The place is usually bustling, but the hardworking staff manages to keep things moving smoothly. It’s clean, the service is good, and the food is definitely worth checking out. While I had a great experience overall, I’m giving it a solid 4 stars instead of 5.

We had the beef nachos, Nashville chicken and waffle taco, and the spicy Tikka chicken taco. Everything was delicious. The Nashville chicken was extremely hot with spices, and the waffle taco had a hint of maple syrup.

I went Sunday morning and the male cashier was great. He was patient and knowledgeable about the menu. Super friendly and upbeat as well. Delicious drinks too. Good place to have specialty gourmet tacos. Have vegan, vegetarian, fish, chicken, beef and pork tacos. The tacos are very delicious, well seasoned and creative. #FamousVelvetCake

They really know how to add character to a taco, lol. Tacos were fresh and delicious. We had the Tikka chicken, rotisserie chicken and steak tacos (don’t remember the actual names). My only complaint is they’re too stingy with the brisket and queso for a $7 nacho. They didn’t mind giving me an extra small side of queso tho.

Wow. I was wondering if the flavors, ingredients and portions might be better than Torchy’s and they ABSOLUTELY ARE! Yes and Wow. Loved the daring global choices, the level of spice, quality ingredients, and friendly staff. I like retro 80s murals and outdoor seating too. Will definitely be back.

The Buffalo chicken taco was amazing. Good service, good food. Definitely recommend going. Taco was 5 dollars and very tasty, full of flavour and not to spicy in my opinion.
