Velvet Taco tantalizes taste buds with its inventive fusion tacos and diverse flavor profiles. With a plethora of options to choose from, there's something for every palate at this bustling taco joint.Among the standout flavors are the Chicken Tikka Taco, Paneer Taco, and Fish Tacos, each offering a unique and delicious twist on traditional favorites. The bold flavors and creative combinations make these tacos a must-try for any food enthusiast.Despite the perpetual crowd, the service at Velvet Taco remains impressively fast, ensuring that hungry diners are promptly satisfied. However, while the tacos are undoubtedly best enjoyed in-store, the inconsistency in taste can be a drawback. At times, they hit the mark perfectly, while other times, they fall short of expectations.One area for improvement could be the addition of hot sauce or salsa options to accompany the tacos. This would enhance the dining experience and allow patrons to customize their meals according to their preferences.In summary, Velvet Taco offers a vibrant and eclectic selection of fusion tacos that are sure to please adventurous eaters. While the lack of consistency and absence of hot sauce options are minor drawbacks, the overall experience is still one of flavor exploration and culinary delight.

We made a quick stop by the Velvet Taco, and we were not disappointed. We got 2 tacos to go, and they were great. Next time we come to town we will try something else on their menu!
Great place to visit after a night out! Open pretty late in comparison to some taco spots - definitely has some good options to choose from. Their chicken buffalo, their grilled steak, and their mexi-cali shrimp tacos are delicious! Has a few locations throughout Austin, so that’s a bonus!

Austinite here.👋 I tend to not really try too many restaurants in a popular "bougie" area as the Domain but after eating at Velvet Taco, I felt that I had to say something because they really did impress me! 🤯

Not only do you expect high prices around here, but they are not at this establishment. Prices are very reasonable and the tacos are rather large and seriously delicious and innovative!

We tried the chicken and waffle taco, the smash burger taco, cauliflower taco and brisket taco.. They were all flavorful and seriously delicious! Had a side of elote queso and chips-perfect!

If you want some fun and tasty tacos and love a good price- check this place out!
Outside seating and a nice vibe.

I really liked this place. The food was so flavorful. I ended up getting brisket nachos and it was amazing. My friend ended up with some tacos and chips with some kind of corn mix that was an explosion of flavors in your mouth.

Hands down, Velvet Taco is my new favorite spot! The food was out of this world, but what really made my experience stand out was the exceptional service. The front desk receptionist with pink hair (sorry, I didn't catch your name!) was absolutely lovely and made me feel so welcome. She was friendly, attentive, and had a radiant smile that brightened up the whole space. And a special shoutout to the burger - it was cooked to perfection and totally hit the spot. I'll be back for sure! 5 stars and a big thumbs up 💫

I had the Peruvian Pork taco that was absolutely fantastic! So much flavor!! It was a great recommendation from the guy behind the counter! AND, it was a weekly special that I hope becomes a mainstay! I have to come back and hopefully get another one!! Always been a fan of Velvet Taco and they don’t disappoint! Great friendly staff!! See you soon Domain Velvet Taco!!!
