Mission OUR MISSION
take the Taco to an unprecedented level, converting all walks of life into Velvet Taco fanatics
OUR PEOPLE
bold. curious. unconventional. present.
OUR PROMISE
liberate the senses

Description Velvet Taco is a temple to the liberated taco. We’re a one-of-a-kind taco concept serving premium food in a unique & funky fast-casual setting. Founded on the idea that tacos don’t have to be associated with Tex-Mex cuisine and can be made with the same care and quality ingredients as fine dining, Velvet Taco is where “anything goes meets the art of the possible.” Some cool things about us: we use only the freshest ingredients available to offer a menu that explores the edge of multi-cultural boundaries, liberating tacos to a whole new level. We slow roast our own chicken and corn, use lots of booze in our margaritas, and make everything from scratch. Which means our food tastes really awesome. Our tacos may not change the world, but we think they’re pretty freakin’ great.
