Have tried several menus items and have not been disappointed yet. Each with it's own uniqueness. The Picnic chicken was good but would prefer on a shell like the others instead of plain but still very good. The service has always been satisfactory. Will continue to visit. Also Son of a Butcher next door is another great place....

"A Solid Stop for Tacos in Grapevine"
During our road trip, we stumbled upon Velvet Taco in Grapevine, Texas, and being taco enthusiasts, we couldn't resist giving it a try. While the experience wasn't exactly phenomenal, it was certainly enjoyable. The restaurant boasts a nice, clean, and modern atmosphere, creating a pleasant dining environment. We appreciated the gluten-free options and the availability of a kids' menu, catering to a diverse range of preferences.
The tacos, though not mind-blowing, were tasty and satisfying. Velvet Taco offers a unique twist on traditional Mexican street tacos, providing a fusion of flavors that might appeal to those looking for something different. The variety on the menu ensures there's something for everyone.
One standout feature was the ample parking, making it convenient for patrons. The staff was friendly and the service was prompt, contributing to an overall positive experience. While Velvet Taco might not be the absolute best taco spot we've encountered, it certainly holds its own and is worth considering if you find yourself in the Grapevine area craving a diverse taco experience.

Spicy Tikka Chicken
Velvet Tacos has once again lived up to its reputation during my recent visit, making it an unmissable spot for taco enthusiasts, especially when in Dallas. This visit, my second to the chain but a first to this particular location, was nothing short of a culinary adventure.
The star of the show was undoubtedly the Spicy Chicken Tikka Taco. A delightful fusion that tantalizes the taste buds, it skillfully marries the robust flavors of chicken tikka with the comforting texture of rice. Each bite was a harmonious blend of spices and tenderness, leaving me pleasantly surprised when I realized I had devoured it all too quickly.
Next up was the Pan We Taco, a crunchy sensation that struck the perfect balance between texture and flavor. The crunchiness of the taco added a delightful contrast to the succulent fillings, making it a memorable part of my meal.
The Salmon Taco was another hit. Leaning towards the spicier side, it was an enjoyable challenge for my palate. The spice level was noticeable but not overwhelming, complementing the salmon's natural flavors beautifully.
This visit was the perfect culinary finale to my Dallas trip, and I'm already looking forward to my next Velvet Tacos experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a fresh and exciting take on tacos!

Kid's Chicken Taco
The best taco place ever. We loved the FW one but so very thankful for the grapevine location! This is the place I take all my out of town friends. This is far from traditional tacos and it works for them. They’re creative and delicious. The Margs are so refreshing and they just started doing happy hour on Tuesday!! ($5 Margs reg $8 lg) the service is awesome and there is usually plenty of seating. It is usually freezing inside so I always bring a sweatshirt. I love the chicken and waffle taco and the tots!
People have been telling me, "You gotta go!" Well, I finally did. It was clean. There was a super friendly staff and incredible tacos! We got the red curry coconut queso, which was meh, less than thrilling. The brisket nachos were delicious. The kobe smash burger was probably the best taco ever. The chicken picnic taco was pretty good, and so was the spicy tinga. Next visit, I'm going straight for the breakfast tacos!

Very delicious tacos! I had the Buffalo chicken and the chicken and waffles. Very different from typical tacos for sure, but a fun twist. They also had a bunch of breakfast tacos, I didn’t try them but they looked delicious. My friend had their red velvet cake and loved it!

Such a great outing to Velvet Taco-Grapevine: A for time eating at this restaurant. The service was so fun and fabulous, especially since it was extremely busy. I was thankful it was a nice breezy evening, since we had to sit outside, there was no room to sit inside. And the food was nothing that I’ve had before, a very different taste for my palate, some spiciness, but it was paired perfectly with some yummy margaritas. This place is a definite weekend spot to visit over and over.

I absolutely adore this spot! My go-to order is the chicken tikka taco, which never fails to impress with its delightful flavors. The staff here are consistently friendly, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable. It's become a favorite stop of mine for a reason. Additionally, I highly recommend trying their velvet taco - it's a must-taste item on their menu. If you haven't had the chance to experience their offerings, you're truly missing out. Don't hesitate to give this place a try; it might just become your new favorite too.

Tikka
New location of velvet taco but the same taste and quality of food. It’s usually very busy during lunch times, Nashville hot tofu (item #4) is very tasty but full of oil. Fried paneer is great too. Only item that’s kind of not up to the standard of other options is Mediterranean Mushrooms (Item #5.5)
