    Chimichurri Steak taco and Quesa Birria Duo
    Corrina Q.

    I think I had higher expectations for this place than what they could deliver. To start off with, the staff member that took our order was really kind and answered any questions we had. However, I think the food was lacking a little bit... I dunno maybe I ordered the wrong things... I'm open to suggestions! I ordered a Chimichurri Steak taco as well as the Quesa Birria Duo. I loved the Quesa Birria Duo! The consommé with it was great. The steak in my chimichurri taco was kind of dry unfortunately. Thankfully the console from the Quesa Birria helped me out in that regard. What makes this a three star review was the guacamole and chips I ordered. It really just tasted like mashed avocado with some red onions. There wasn't much (or any) salt, lime juice, or seasoning that I could really taste. I love that they use the blue corn chips though! Those are my favorite chips.

    On a prowl for a good fish taco led me to Velvet Taco. It was my very first visit, the employees were very helpful with helping me decide on which tacos to order based off my personal preferences. I went with the Fish n' Chips and Mexican-Cali Shrimp tacos. Both were flavorful. It was too much of the curry aioli on the fish taco making it a little messy, although I did appreciate the sriracha aioli being replaced with the avocado creama on the shrimp tacos. The blue Tortilla Chips were crispy and the guacamole was fresh. I would for sure visit again.

    Great nachos at a competitive price! Love that I could easily sub and remove items though online ordering.

    I love Velvet Taco! The tacos are always delicious. I love their buffalo chicken taco. This time I got the 2 taco combo with the Mexi Cala Shrimp Taco too and queso and all was delicious. Love their outdoor seating area as well.

    I'm not really into tacos but I would come back to eat here. The decor is fun and rustic. The provided great customer service. My daughter got the wrong taco and they fixed the order immediately. I can't remember what I ordered but I can remember the sangria, I had to order another one! I will be back. (The pics don't do the good justice)

    Came here to try some different flavours of taco. We ordered 2 combos, that comes with chips a dip and a drink. I got the chicken and waffles taco and the birria one, my husband got the birria and tikka chicken. We both loved the birria, it was nice and crispy and so good. We also got the 3 dip trio. So over we got the blanco queso, curry taco, guacamole, elote and the salsa one. My husband liked the salsa one which seems like they roast the tomatoes and cook it. I LOVED the elote one. It tasted so good with the corn. The kids had tenders and tots. This place had a nice vibe to it and very clean. I'm glad we stopped by. The lady helping at the cashier was very nice and we also got extra chips to go with the dips we couldn't finish.

    I stopped here right when they opened at 11. The menu had so many great options. I really love how they offer lettuce wraps in place of the tortillas and they even have "light" lemonade instead of just Coke Zero. We took our time with the menu and Brianna and B were amazing with helping us decide on options. Brianna took our order with a smile and really elevated the experience! We will definitely be back over and over again to try out all of the tacos!

    Velvet Taco never misses! I had the shrimp taco and the steak taco--both packed with flavor and freshness. The ingredients were super vibrant, the tortillas were soft and warm, and the chips on the side were a perfect crunch. Fast, flavorful, and fun vibe inside.

    Nothing better than a good taco joint! It is easy to order using the app or walking in and ordering. There are plenty of seats inside and out. We ordered a variety of options including GF tacos. Each taco was very good. They all were filled up so every bite had everything in it! We also ordered queso and margs as well. You can't get enough of either because they are good but and sadly you don't get enough imo. The tacos are a good price for what you are getting. 4 tacos is easy enough to fill you up esp if you a side or some queso with it!

    Tacos I tried: spicy tika chicken taco mexi-cali shrimp taco These tacos tasted so good and filled me up really quickly. The menu has some really cool taco options. I also got a frozen margarita which was just okay. Overall, Velvet Taco was super cute and it was fun to try at least once.

He was attentive, friendly, and always made sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. His service was quick, professional, and welcoming, which really stood out and made us feel taken care of the whole time. It is rare to have a server who brings such a positive energy to the table, and Orhan definitely did that. I ordered the Burrito Basico with steak, and it was amazing. The steak was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and the burrito itself was packed with fresh ingredients that all blended together so well. Every bite was full of flavor, and the portion size was more than worth it. Between the delicious food and Orhan's outstanding service, this was an excellent experience overall. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend asking for Orhan.

Then my wife and I split the chicken enchiladas with the green sauce. One of the best we've ever had. What was really outstanding? Was this cheesy rice side dish. Unexpected and absolutely delicious.

I ordered the carne asada and was genuinely excited, but it was a letdown from the start. They never asked how I wanted the steak cooked, which is a huge mistake. Then they covered the steak in cheese--why? That completely overpowered everything. I couldn't even taste the chimichurri. A suggestion: grill the steak properly and serve it simply. If you need cast iron, use a skillet--not a cast iron bowl. Don't drown it in cheese, and please don't cut my steak for me. I'm a grown adult and can handle that myself. On the positive side, the service was on point--our waitress was amazing. The inside was clean and had a kind‑of Mexican vibe going on.

    Que Fresca is a fast and fun experience. They have 2 counters - one for food and one for drinks…read more You walk up to the counter and order. We got two Burrito Fresas (one grilled chicken and one chicken tinga). The burritos had the COOLEST crunchy cheese coating on the tortilla that the hugs all of the ingredients inside the burrito. Both the grilled chicken and the chicken tinga were phenomenal. We truly could not decide who the "winner" was because they were both so flavorful. Now, to talk about the other fun part!!! SORBET MARGARITAS! I'm obsessed. I had initially seen Que Fresca on social media, specifically for the soft serve margs. And let me tell you - they did nit disappoint. They have two flavors - strawberry and lemon (and then you can do a swirl). They were SO refreshing and delightful!! It was such a fun way to ~eat~ a margarita! All of the staff were friendly and very quick. The restaurant is well laid out and I love that it had TVs to watch all the games. The bathrooms are fun too - as the mirrors have color changing lights! I cannot wait to come back and try more!

The idea is that place your order, pick a seat and your order is delivered to you. We picked our seats at the bar first because it was pretty packed for Friday night. We took our time to browse the menu but we knew we'd be getting the IG viral Sorbet flights we'd seen. Now on first attempt we got our food, it was completely cold. We informed one of the waiters and asked for our meals to be remade. So upon getting my food second time: 1 Birria Taco, 1 Chips and Queso and 1 Chicken Tinga, it was warm. The Birria taco was my favorite as the chicken didn't hold too much flavor for me. Now we ordered 2 Sorbet flights. We didn't get them as advertised.. no rim coating and the flavor offerings were duplicated. As we compared what we got from other patrons we saw what was missing and the flavor differences. Overall our meal and drinks were underwhelming and we let the staff and manager on hand know. She apologized for not making our Sorbets with rim coating and the food mishap. As guest of NC for the weekend, our host told us we'd gone to the wrong location.
