Made for a great evening overall. Would recommend to anyone looking for tasting tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" Correct me if I’m wrong, but Velvet Taco is unlike any taco place I’ve ever been to! The Korean Fried Rice taco really caught me by surprise. I’ll definitely be back. The atmosphere was perfect for a casual meal. Don’t skip the elote, so good! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great location with tasty offerings! I ordered the fish chik tacos, which were great. I appreciated the vegan options too! The waiting staff were attentive which made the experience enjoyable. The prices are relatively high for tacos, but the quality is there! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a great place for a taco fix. I remember trying their cauliflower tacos and they were packed with flavor! The staff was super friendly and made the dining experience even better. Overall, a lovely time! Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very interesting concept! I tried their Nashville Chicken taco, and I loved the marg to wash it down. Velvet Taco thrives on bold flavors that you wouldn't expect from a taco place. A bit pricey for tacos but still worth it for the quality " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience! Velvet Taco is a creative approach to traditional tacos. I sampled various flavors and was particularly impressed with the elote. A bit on the expensive side, but well worth it for the taste. The atmosphere was welcoming and made it easy to relax. " (*Curated Review*)

" Superb experience overall! I had the Korean Fried Rice taco which was fabulous! The mix of flavors was spot on. Didn't think I’d ever enjoy a taco that wasn’t traditional but Velvet Taco proved me wrong. Clean, inviting atmosphere, I’d highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
