Awesome food and friendly service! Great patio space and quality ingredients. We’ll be back to sample the veggie portion of the menu soon!
As soon as I arrived I felt an eager urge in my stomach based on the reviews on Facebook I knew I was in for a treat. The only thing I am saddened about is a fact that there are no sleeping cots or sleeping quarters after my food coma, based on your tacos and chips and salsa plus the two margaritas. I did tear into the seven tacos with my girlfriend I now have one taco left over for the morning. There was no wait to order food quick and easy food arrived extremely fast and very tasty and I emphasize very tasty.

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.
Let me start by saying the presentation was executed extremely well. You can tell these were freshly ordered NOT just sitting up pre-made. I must say their Fish & Chips was my favorite. The Mexi-Cali shrimp without the avocado corn pico was a tight 2nd place. The Buffalo chicken taco was just "ok" for me. Their slow-roasted Angus brisket taco was NOT for me, I took a half a bite & was like this does NOT sit well with my tastebuds. But, someone might like it, try it for yourself. Oh they have a red sauce that has a slight kick to it which was very tasty. I think yall should keep them on your list to check out if you want tacos & they have a variety, SEVERAL to select from.....
Came into Houston for some ink at Prison Break Tattoo and we of course needed to feed.
Found this place about 3-4 blocks from our condo and studio and have to say we're glad we did.
I had both the Angus brisket(3pcs) and flank steak(2pcs) tacos and they didn't disappoint.
I believe my buddy had the pork variants and he was quite satisfied with them as well.
I'm not a foodie, I just eat for macros but suffice it to say these were both delicious and filling.
The service and atmosphere were both great as my buddy and I sat there for the better part of two hours, eating and just relaxing.
I would definitely recommend.

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.
I got brisket nachos and the chicken and waffle taco. 10 out of 10. I also tried the red velvet cake since velvet is in the name of the restaurant. It felt really heavy, but was extremely moist, and the taste was really good.
I will definitely go back and try different tacos, because as was posted in the restaurant. They have a new taco every Wednesday. 😋
Do yourself a favor, and give it a try. We ended up here because the wait at another place was ridiculous. This place should have been our first choice! Staff was very helpful and friendly! My only gripe would be the tables weren't very clean, but it didn't take away from our amazing experience!
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!
OMG!!! Talk about tacos with some FLAVOR!! Not 100% sure what all we ordered, but the flavor was on point. Would definitely recommend!!! Staff was super friendly and establishment was very clean.
Best Ever Tacos in Town !!!! They are fresh, juicy, tasty and flavourful. The weekly tacos are special, also the regular ones. Chicken Tikka, Buffalo chicken, Grilled paneer, Tofu, Mexicali shrimp 🦐, potato tots, tortilla chips with queso, red velvet cake and cream soda👌. All these are favorites.
They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Spacious arrangement, friendly staff.
One of the local taco spots I like best! Everything I've tasted so far has been fantastic, and I love the range of interesting and entertaining flavors. The crisp, fresh chips combine perfectly with the delicious white queso. Over the course of several excursions, I sampled the Flank Steak tacos, Shrimp & Grits, the new Mexicali Shrimp Taco, and the Chicken & Waffles taco. They were all wonderful!
The atmosphere at Velvet Taco in Houston was definitely odd but lovely. It seemed half of one vibe and half of another, but the food was SOOOO good! It was very different than the authentic Mexican food I am used to, but a good different! Not Tex-Mex at all, in my opinion. It was like a chef level creative spin on Mexican food and I absolutely loved it. Highly recommended stopping by one. They have many different locations in different towns as well.

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.
Our taste buds were transported with every bite of the #7 Cuban Pig taco. The fusion of mustard, pickles, and a tangy, vinegary essence created an unexpectedly delightful experience that left us craving more of this innovative creation.
The #8.5 Chipotle BBQ Pork taco truly stole the show, with tender shredded pork bathed in a mouthwatering blend of BBQ and Mexican flavors. This exquisite concoction had us raving about our newfound favorite.
Coming in a close second was the #11.5 Chimichurri Steak taco, featuring succulent steak married with a vibrant sauce and perfectly balanced spices. This dish was a testament to the culinary prowess of Velvet Taco.
The Elote & Chips served as the ideal companion to our taco feast. This creamy corn-based salsa paired with crisp, dark corn chips was a symphony of flavors that harmoniously enhanced our dining experience.
Although one might expect to pay a premium for such uniquely crafted tacos, the portions were both satisfying and substantial, making the experience well worth the investment.
Finally, we were thoroughly impressed by the swift service and the efficiency with which our order was prepared, adding to the overall allure of Velvet Taco.
To sum it up, Velvet Taco is a delightful haven for food enthusiasts seeking novel and palate-pleasing experiences. If you find yourself yearning for an extraordinary taco adventure, this is the place to be. Prepare to be dazzled by their inventive creations, and rest assured that your taste buds will thank you.
