Velvet Taco was founded in Houston, Texas, in 2011. The company operates a small chain of upper scale Mexican food restaurants in several states.
Velvet Taco stands out from similar restaurants in that their tacos aren’t the usual Tex-Mex style. Taco’s such as the Falafel, which has tahini crema, arugla, fresnos, tomatoes, pickled red onions, avocado, pea tendrils and a lettuce wrap is just one example of the unique type of tacos the company offers. Other tacos include chicken, pork, fish, or beef. Orders can be placed online or placed via the mobile phone app. Gift cards are also available.
There are currently 4 locations, 3 in Texas and one in Chicago, Illinois. In January 2021, the company announed that it was leasing a building for a new location in Nashville, Tennessee.
Also in January 2021, Velvet Taco announced that it was launcing its first Loyalty Program.
Company headquarters are located in Plano, Texas.

Very poor management, & team work.
Not one team member would give a helping hand to the prep person, so he can get done. He’s been working since 9:30 am, it’s now 7pm and he is still working.
There lucky I’m not the manager. They all need to be told to get off there lazy a**es be and do some work.

I had Fish Tacos a couple of a days ago and I have been sick with vomiting and stomach cramps My mother said It “food poisonings”. I don’t recommend the fish tacos on lettuce wrap .
Do try the Picnic Chicken tacos they are really delicious .

i was very very disrespected and discriminated in your store in Austin- Rude customer service telling me to back off when i went to check if my food was over there, because it was too loud in there they treated us as drunk while we dont even drink—horrible experience and very very disappointed —

I am very disappointed that Velevt Taco does not proved their nutritional information online anywhere. I understand that all restaurants are required to provide this information. I assume they provide this information in the store but I don’t want to have to waste my lunch break going into the restaurant to find out if I can even eat there. Guess I’ll be eating elsewhere.

Hello!
My name is Kelsey and I first experienced my first Velvet taco in 2014 at your Dallas location and I have forever since been in love. I live in Michigan and so my closest location Chicago which is still WAY to far to satisfy my constant craving for these tacos. I know it is a long shot but if you are looking to open new locations Detroit would sure love to have you! #velvettacosforlife
Forever grateful for your tacos,
Kelsey ?
