Velvet Taco offers a unique dining experience with both indoor and outdoor seating options. Known for its exciting menu featuring a variety of gourmet tacos, including options like chicken tikka masala tacos, shrimp and grits tacos, and the chicken and waffle taco, the restaurant caters to diverse tastes, including vegan choices. Many guests appreciate the fast and friendly service, although some have noted that the drive-thru can be slow at times.
The restaurant is conveniently located near the University of Texas at Austin, making it a popular spot. While the prices are considered reasonable, the portion sizes, especially for kids' meals, are seen as a great bargain. Guests have praised the flavors, particularly highlighting dishes like the coconut curry and the steak chimichurri tacos. However, some reviews mention that certain tacos, such as the quesa birria pork tacos, may not have stood out as much.
With a lively atmosphere and a menu that features interesting flavor mashups, Velvet Taco is a great choice for those looking to try something different. While parking can be challenging, the overall experience, including the quality of food and service, is generally well-regarded.
