"Velvet Taco, a Dallas-based taco chain known for its creative tacos, opened its first Florida location in Fort Lauderdale on September 13. The restaurant offers an eclectic menu featuring dishes like chicken and waffles tacos, a Cuban taco with pulled pork, and breakfast options such as the Velvet Griddle. They also provide sides like elote and nachos, red velvet cake, and a full bar. The chain, which started in Dallas in 2011, has expanded to 40 locations in seven states and plans to open a second Florida location in Wynwood in early 2024." - Erin Russell
