Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am a lover of Tacos and most of all, Tacos on a Tuesday! During my recent quest for new spots, it was recommended that I try out Velvet Taco so I decided to give it a try.
To start, let's talk about the location. Understanding that visual appeal is part of consumer draw, Velvet Taco hit the visual appeal right on the head. The all-glass windows paired with the outside sitting area and ample group and personal-style seating make this the perfect option for any size... Upon walking in, I love how the menus are posted on the wall as I had the ability to view it in full at my own pace without holding up the line. The Order Here/Pick-Up setup is ideal for the traffic flow as the main area is long (left to right) but not wide (front to back). As such, this allows for less congestion in the main area.
Upon placing our order we decided to sit outside. The outside has a super dope setup with the graffiti wall and wall decor. It really has a nice vibe that adds to the tone of a high-energy vibe.
The Food:
(2) Buffalo chicken tacos - crisp tenders, house buffalo sauce, danish bleu cheese, ranch crema, carrots, micro celery, flour tortilla |
(2) Spicy tikka chicken tacos - crisp tenders, spicy tikka sauce, buttered cilantro basmati rice, raita crema, Thai basil, flour tortilla
And, (1) Chimichurri steak taco - grilled flank steak, buttered cilantro basmati rice, chimichurri, avocado, pickled fresnos, queso fresco, cilantro, flour tortilla
I'll be honest, after biting into these tacos I have come to the conclusion that I have fallen in love. LoL! All of the meat was well seasoned. The flour tortillas were warm and soft. All of the fixins were fresh, and to top it all off, the presentation of the tacos was enticing to the 3rd power. This was a mouth-watering visual that was then enhanced by the true mouth pleasing flavor of EVERY SINGLE TACO!
Velvet Taco has elevated the flavor profile of what a taco used to be and introduced me to the Next Generation of Taco Tuesdayyyyyyy!!!! I promise you, you must give this place a try...
P. S. Don't judge me if you see me there every night now. LoL!!!!
**Note to anyone who decides to sit outside: The speaker volume is low so make sure to listen closely as there is music playing and general noise from the patrons of other locations.
