Velvet Taco Has Flavor For Days.
A dash of the Downtown Dallas vibe has been the main ingredient in redefining the taco for over a decade. The fusion of funk and fine dining have been staples on the menu at The Velvet Taco since the concept was born at its original Henderson Avenue location in 2011. Growing to more than 30 locations across the country, the popular fast-casual shop embodies the belief that tacos can be creatively elevated beyond their Tex-Mex roots. With shops as far as Charlotte, Nashville, Tennessee, Chicago and Atlanta, the company proves it hasn't forgotten where it came from with its newest location right here in Grapevine.
Velvet Taco's mission is to elevate your everyday taco by adding a fresh perspective. Offering a wide variety of international flavors and original combinations, they use tortillas as the base of their masterpiece to turn each taco into art. There are over 20 varieties of tacos available, with each featuring a unique flavor from all over the world.
Velvet Taco was recognized by eskca.com as one of the best restaurants in Dallas. They recommend the spicy chicken tikka taco because their chicken is slow-roasted to perfection daily. The spicy chicken tikka taco features crisp tenders, spicy tikka sauce, buttered cilantro basmati rice, raita crema and Thai basil all on a flour tortilla. This dish is sure to leave your lips burning for more. Another unique spin on chicken tacos is the chicken and waffle taco. Inspired by the infamous breakfast dish, this taco entails crisp tenders, peppered bacon, peppercorn gravy, green apple slaw, maple syrup, red chile aioli and chives on a waffle tortilla. It’s a food lover's dream with nostalgia and comfort in each bite.
In need of vegetarian options? No problem — they have multiple taco options for you as well. The healthiest menu item is their falafel lettuce wrap taco. For only 160 calories, you can enjoy this Middle Eastern-inspired dish boasting a tahini sauce, an assortment of vegetables, as well as green Schug sauce. Additionally, they offer Nashville hot tofu tacos, beer-battered cauliflower tacos and fried paneer tacos.
Their pork, beef and fish tacos are also anything but ordinary. The most notable are the Korean fried rice tacos, slow-roasted Angus brisket tacos and the fish n' chips tacos. Their elotes and red velvet cake are not to miss either, as are their strong cocktails and margaritas.
The restaurant itself is just as spunky as the food. It’s covered in bright, vibrant colors and neon lights to match the unique tacos. Each location boasts a customized local art package to represent its city. The vibes are immaculate, and the tacos are even better. You won't find tacos like these anywhere else. If you are in the mood for a fresh and funky take on tacos, Velvet Taco won't let you down.
