Wait, am I the first person reviewing this place in addition to Local Smoke? I have also been here…read moremany times, but I am surprised that no one has really reviewed this place as well. Atmosphere/Ambiance - 5/5 - This area is part of The Hub, where there are several restaurants. There are large seating areas inside and outside (with a large screen in the outside area). The inside area also has 2 floors. Staff - 5/5 - Very Friendly. They were very accommodating, and even gave us an extra drink at no charge. I really appreciated that. Food/Drink - Ordered the following: - Crave Rollback - 5/5 - I love smash burgers and this one was GREAT. I really enjoyed their boss sauce and extra pickles. I definitely recommend this. - Bacon Double Cheeseburger - 5/5 - A smash burger with bacon. Who can say no to this? Overall, I will have to take pictures of these next time as well. I will of course be back.

We went to Velvet Taco with family because they love the nachos, and it definitely didn't…read moredisappoint! This time, they ordered the nachos with no spicy sauce, which they actually preferred. My usual go-to is the shrimp tacos, but this time I also tried the chimichurri tacos, which came with rice and was good. There's plenty of seating, the service was good, and it was a nice spot to enjoy a meal with family. Overall, another good experience at Velvet Taco!

Velvet Taco is a great lunch spot in Allen whenever I'm craving creative, flavorful tacos. The food…read morealways feels carefully crafted, and the flavors are consistently on point. On this visit, I had the chimichurri steak taco and the Mexi-Cali shrimp taco, and both were excellent. The steak taco was packed with flavor, while the shrimp taco had a great balance of freshness and seasoning. You can really tell thought goes into the ingredients and combinations here. I also highly recommend saving room for the red velvet cake, it's absolutely worth it and a perfect way to finish the meal. Definitely a spot I enjoy coming back to from time to time for lunch.

The menu is huge and somehow everything sounds goods and it'shard to choose just one. So.. we ordered a few different items to try their food (see pics), and not a single one disappointed us. Yum! Fresh, flavorful, and made to order. Nothing sat under warming lights. Nice! The prices are impressive. It explains the steady stream of to-go orders flying out the door, and regulars. That constant buzz of people means they're doing something right. The vibe is very casual and welcoming. Don't be surprised if this becomes one of your new fav Mexican food spots.

Each drink was fine, nothing overly delicious, but was expected. The chips and salsa were fine, though I wish the salsa had a little more salt. The chips were crispy. For food, we ordered the steak macho nachos and the pork belly tostada. As I said, the tortilla chips were crispy, however in the nachos they were heavily wilted. The nachos were absolutely drenched in queso. I love cheese, but this was overboard. Aside from the chips on the top layer, everything else was really soggy. Each component of the nachos tasted fine and would've been much better had they not been drowning in queso. I do wish there was more steak for how many nachos there were. The pork belly tostada was a total miss though. It appeared very difficult to eat due to the pork belly being one large piece vs being cut up. It was crispy in parts where the bbq sauce wasn't. The sauce was sweet, but not great; could've used more flavor. Didn't pair well with the pork belly. Overall my experience was not great by any means, but I'd be open to going back for drinks and trying something else.

There's seating in the front of the truck if you would like to enjoy your food there. Thete are no drinks available, however you can go to the gas station for some.

I've had some of the best asada fries in California so I judged this one hard. Overall, excited to have a food truck representing some of my favorite Mexican style food in California here in North DFW!

I got all the fixins on my potato (cheese, chives, bacon bits, sour cream) and chose brisket & jalapeno sausage. I didn't plan to eat the whole thing but I it was so delicious I had to! :) Besides all the typical soft drink options, they also have koolaid available which is a fun option. I thought it was cool how they had an old western movie playing in the dining room too. The decor in there makes it cozy and the employees are very efficient & friendly. They have a good amount of seating available inside and a table on the patio too. I will definitely be returning to this spot to try more specials and the banana pudding! :)

Here is the review with the burger worked in…read more --- I spent today at Brisket School at Vaqueros BBQ, and it was my Father's Day gift. The class was taught by the great Trey Sanchez. Let me start with the most important thing I can tell you. If you have never eaten at Vaqueros, you are missing out. Vaqueros and Hutchins are the two best BBQ joints in Collin County. But Vaqueros has a twist. Their barbecue is competition grade, and they also happen to run one of the Top 50 taco spots in the entire state. Do not take my word for it. Ask Texas Monthly. Want to know why the tacos are that good? It is the brisket. Trey uses every last ounce of it. The trimmings end up in the sausage, the burgers, the tacos, and the consomé de res. They go into the tallow too, and if you ever order the fries, you will understand. You will want more. His suadero tacos are something special, and that is just the beginning of the menu. Speaking of burgers, do not skip his. It is outstanding, and it is made with, if you guessed brisket, you would be right. So here is my advice. If you are thinking about wandering next door to Village Burger Bar, stop. Get a burger from Trey instead. His beef is ground fresh daily, and the pickles and the mustard are made in house. It is in a different league. Now the class itself. What Trey taught me about trimming a brisket, treating it like a steak, seasoning it, and wrapping it, those are lessons any wannabe pitmaster will cherish for life. And here is the part nobody warns you about. Trey is a phenomenal storyteller. He knows everyone in the Texas barbecue world, and his stories alone are worth the price of admission. Let us talk about the food. Do you love barbecue? Vaqueros has it. Brisket, ribs, turkey, and two kinds of sausage, and every one of them is excellent. The smoked pork carnitas are pure heaven. Looking for something a little different? Get the brisket nachos. They come loaded with chopped brisket, queso, beans, pico, and all the fixings. Fifteen dollars. You can feed a family of four with one order. They have beer, margaritas, and a bourbon lemonade that is genuinely fantastic. I will say it one more time. You are missing out if you have not been. Tell him Brian sent you.
