Vegetarians know, San Antonio restaurants generally aren’t great at making clear what our options are on their menus. I appreciated that Velvet Taco not only had veggie options clearly marked, they had multiple options and a couple of tasty ones at that! I had all 3 of the veg tacos and really liked both the cauliflower and paneer ones. Tofu one left something to be desired. Service was pretty slow, too. There was almost no one in there. The gal at the counter was nice, but...

Drinks were good, food was good, menu is super cool and very unique, but the presentation was just okay. Not hot once served, and for the price, I’d expect better. I think there are better spots for the money in town, especially this area

Absolutely delicious. It also has things on the menu that are super strange so I had to try them and like I said they were great. My wife had some of the vegetarian tacos and they were also kinda strange but really good!
