This was our first experience with a Velvet Taco, and the young man that helped us was extremely helpful. He made suggestions for modifications that we would not have known to our tacos when we stated that spicy was not our thing. The meal itself was fantastic, full of flavor, and very enjoyable. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the red velvet cake was a little dry. I would definitely eat here again, just skipping a dessert (our tastes, not their fault).

Huge shoutout to Brittany and store manager Danielle at Velvet Taco!
I’m vegan, and instead of the usual “don’t have much” they took the time to walk me through all the options, explained what would work best, and helped me build something I actually loved. The experience felt genuinely personal and thoughtful, not rushed or transactional at all.
What really stood out was how much that kind of care matters..little moments like this honestly make your day. When people go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and understood, it sets the tone for a great day, and that’s exactly what Brittany and Danielle did. Super friendly, super knowledgeable, and just great energy all around. Danielle is 1000% the best manager anyone could ask for. If corporate is actually reading these reviews, just know that you can never lose her and maybe even have other locations get trained by her.
Easily one of my best Velvet Taco experiences. I’d absolutely come back anytime I’m passing by… even if it’s just to say hi.

Mexi-cali bowl feel like I ordered a
50 cent ramen.. had 7 teeny-tiny burnt shrimp they missed having them blackened and went to charred burnt rubber by more than a few minutes. Rice bed underneath was undercooked.
$40. For two people and were going to have to hit the fast food drive through to have enough food to not be cranky the rest of the day…
The girl at the counter (Lars) was extremely friendly.

I really liked the atmosphere and the painting at the back was gorgeous. Lots of outdoor seating. The tacos are very niche. I had a shrimp taco and it was really pretty, but the flavor wasn’t there for me. Maybe if the shrimp had been grilled instead of breaded and fried. My husband had a smash burger taco and liked it. We had chips and queso. The chips are blue corn and really hard but still tested good. The queso was warm at best. Do have a piece of red velvet cake. This place is pretty pricey for what we ordered.

We went to Velvet Taco in Waco for the first time. The atmosphere was nice and clean with options to sit outside. We ordered the combo that comes with two tacos a side and a drink. There’s a variety of options of tacos and sides as well. The food was good but not great. We feel that it was a little over priced but wouldn’t mind trying some of the other menu options again in the future.

Their food is amazing!! Their tacos are not like regular Mexican food truck taco rather they came up with their own variations in taste. The have so many options from meats, veggies and fishes that you will easily find something that fits your tastes. I am not a big fan of tofu but their “Nashville hot tofu” was something I will get again !! We have tried several items out of which I would recommend Mexi Cali shrimp, sweet chile shrimp and Nashville hoy tofu. They serve the tacos in a taco holder tray which adds extra ease to handle it. Environment is good and they have plenty of parking spots.

Wife orders buffalo chicken, is told it comes as one single taco so we order 2. I ask for 2 brisket tacos and got 2 orders of 2 brisket tacos each, which was annoying, but then to open a $3 taco, and see this inside was the deal breaker for me

An ok addition for lunch but not at all authentic if that’s what you’re looking for. The service was fast enough but the inside eating area is kind of small with only about 9 four person tables. The outside area isn’t much better as it’s only half covered, and the tall chairs are hard to get in and out of. Portions were pretty good.
