Velvet Taco

Taco restaurant · Near North Side

@infatuation

"This chain started in Texas, and has a menu filled with fusion tacos that seem invented by a hungry drunk person with nothing left to lose. They’re not very good, and we can’t think of anything worse than their chicken and waffles taco, made with a flaccid taco-shaped waffle, gloopy gravy, and leathery fried chicken. Despite serving alcohol and a sign that says “WE’RE OPEN REALLY LATE” the counter-service space is way too much of a fast-food restaurant to make you want to hang out here after going out." - adrian kane
