Carly Bucklin

This is so much more than a taco place . The #19 is a revelation. As is the #6. And the corn . Get a margarita . Best value in Dallas. Ok I'm done.

Erik Rowley

If the wait is long, the food is worth it in the end. The rotisserie chicken is my favorite, some of the best tacos I've ever had. And where else can you get velvet cake on the side?

Meredith Warren

One of my all-time favorites for tacos . They’ve got a menu that hits the spot for whatever flavor you crave. #19 Bacon egg fritatta #10 Bacon burger and my personal favorite #12 Annatto shredded pork

Lee Diaz

Take your expectations for tacos and throw them out the window. Velvet offers unique flavors that will satisfy any palate. Look at the Rotisserie Chicken (#2), Grilled Flank (#11) and Tots .

Tony

So clutch after a night out. The line will be long but moves pretty quick. The #3 is my go-to taco here but there are so many options you can't really go wrong. Oh and two tacos is usually enough.

Marion Cipher

The shredded roast pork , the grilled flank steak , & grilled flank steak with egg tacos are the best! Next time I'll be trying the Maine lobster . They also have a nice dog friendly patio .

Ankita Agarwal

It's a vegetarian 's haven! I have been here 4-5 times in a span of 3 months. Try falafel taco , it comes with a lettuce wrap instead of tortilla . Paneer tika taco and corn on the side are exceptional!

Katie Albers

Located in Uptown, this place is one of my favorites when trying to grab a quick but delicious meal with friends. The Rotisserie Chicken taco is my go-to every time. Conveniently open until 4am.

Monika McMahon

The chicken tikka masala taco is amazing and different from any taco I've ever had. All tacos can be lettuce wrapped to be made gluten-free. Can't go wrong if you want Tacos in Dallas!

Bryan Crabill

Love this place. It's perfect because there's tons of variety so you can get whatever you're craving. Everything I've had has been fantastic except for the picnic basket. Didnt care for that

Super Dad

Rotisserie Chicken Taco - Amazing!!! The Flank Steak Taco - Also Fantastic!!! Side of Corn is a Must Have!!!

Erica Stephens

Oh my tacos !!! I tried 3 different ones and they were all delicious! The potatoes were to die for as were the tots and corn .

Narendra Singh Plaha

This place is awesome. I've never been disappointed even though I keep trying things outside of my palette. Parking can/is an issue on weekends so be prepared. Well worth your time.

Robert Teng

Great customer service and atmosphere! Open until 11 PM! Oh, and the tacos were ????, too - such creative ingredient combinations!

Josh Ferrara

Best craft tacos in DFW. Chicken Tikka is easily the best thing you'll eat all week!

Dallas Foodie (Danielle G.)

You have to get the cornmeal fried oyster taco—it's delicious and I've haven't heard of one anywhere else. Also, they make their own double layer red velvet cake that is worth saving room for.

Tiff L.

Everything! What ever you like! Great queso and elotes , cheap drinks and bomb tacos ! Try the Chicken Tikka and Shrimp and Grits #lifechanging.

VanGogh

This place is awesome! A bit pricy but well worth for the size and goodness of the tacos you get! I order #11 #12 and two #2s! The #12 was the best! Enjoy!

Dwight Henneberger

The #7 pork , #11 beef flank steak , and grilled corn are all awesome. Try the red velvet cake with the butterscotch sauce.

Jenny L.

#3 spicy tikka chicken ... So good, I wish we had this in NY. Queso too. Awesome fusion / southern/ Indian / Thai gourmet tacos .

Samantha Rangel

I don't think I've ever had a breakfast taco as flavorful as #19. Fingerling potatoes , chili butter, bacon , and egg . A really swooner.

B P

Nice selection of local beers , awesome cake but if you are craving Mexican flavoured tacos and don't want to deal with parking issues & lines , move along.

Jessica

Tacos are amazing. 3.5 is DELISH. So is the calamari taco , gawd. Margaritas are very good, and the cake .. God lord, it's delicious.

Oh Hey Dallas

Knock on the back door, hand them $20 and in a few minutes a whole rotisserie chicken , 2 cups of elotes , 6 tortillas and sauces will be in your hand.

Nick Marino Jr.

Love this place. If you check-in here you should do it on the TangoTab. Every time you check-in on the app, TangoTab feeds a person in need locally. Download it > Get.TangoTab.com

Ms Bledsoe

Best tacos I've eaten so far on Dallas. Lines a big long but it's worth the wait.

C Streets

Two tacos per person, quest, and tots was almost too much for two people. The chicken Tikka taco and the tots were super good.

Anu Jayasinghe

The rotisserie chicken taco was good but needs salsa to give it a kick. The crisp tikka chicken taco was amazing, spicy and creamy!

Shreyas Anand

The best taco i've ever had! Loved both the fried paneer and spicy chicken .

Robyn Harman

Open till 4am on the weekends, so perfect spot for late night tacos after being at the bar . Tacos are unique and tasty!

Luiz Gustavo Oliveira

Nice place to be with friends and family, and the tacos is the best in town .

Dallas Observer

If you're a purist, you should probably move along, but if you're open-minded, Velvet Taco completely obliterates taco convention . Read more

Brittney Potter

I love the #4 highly recommend if you are a vegetarian ! Also their cream corn is a great starter. Margs aren't bad pretty decent!

Meghan Rooney

Number 19 is a great breakfast option . Number 11 is a great lunch/dinner option. The concept of this place is fresh, simple, and earth friendly . Great place!!

Carly Bucklin

Everything is fantastic here! My personal favorite is the #6, Falafel Taco ! Also get the corn and put some of their spicy sauce in it. Mmmmmmmm

Austin Nichols

One of the best things on their menu isn't even a taco ! Get the tater tots with egg . It's a meal in and of itself!

Chucho Ugarte

Tacos are amazing! A very good Texan approach to tacos , not trying to copy, just to reinvent the Texan taco

Joana Nelms

Buffalo chicken always stands alone, paneer and tofu tacos are dope vegetarian options . Try the red curry queso !

H K

Always loved the chicken tikka and Cuban pig . Not so much love for poke .

Social News Network

Pay attention to the fish tacos . If you don't like fish , go for the beef . If you don't like tacos , worth going for the side dishes.

Mellissa

The homemade tortillas are delicious! I love all the tacos . Be sure to ask about the back door special. :)

Calvin Coleman

Came here one night after leaving the bar and I loved the vibe and the food. Best tacos I ever had.

Flip Croft Caderao

The original #3, the buffalo chicken taco was removed from the menu. We must revolt! Demand them to make it for you and tell them to restore its proper place on the menu!

Mark Thompson

Another Taco place ? This may be the best yet!! #1 and #16 are awesome. A little expensive $3.50-$4.00 per taco but really flipping good!!

thewandering1

Cuban pig and Picnic Chicken , the tots , the red velvet . Haven't had a bad one yet.

Sarah O

The brisket taco is magical! The shrimp & grits taco was good, but I won't order it again. The brisket taco is everything.

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

LOVE this place. The rotisserie chicken , tacos and the elote corn are amazing

Sumit Bohra

Rotisserie corn is phenomenal. Fried paneer taco is a must for any vegetarian , and recommended for everyone else.

Erdem Gokturk

Chris

Order whatever you want, it doesn't matter. It's all amazing
