I have been to quite a few velvet tacos and normally have a good experience. I love their unique tacos with the different flavor profiles. The taco I got hit spot, but we were also trying to get some tacos for my kid and asked to do bean and cheese tacos. The person at the register, said that she could adjust the chicken taco and ring it up so it was just bean and cheese. Well my husband ordered 3 of them. When we got home, it was chicken, black beans and cheese, not what we wanted. Thankfully, I was able to take off the chicken, since I don't eat meat and eat the beans and cheese. But we had to get my kid something else to eat. Unless you want your kid to have a chicken taco, they really don't have any other options. I wish the person at the register would have said that verses getting our hopes up. I'll be back. But my husband and kid probably won't be.

Seasonal Veggie Bowl (V) (GF)

Love the convenience of this new location. Velvet Taco has a great menu and really good Kids options too. I tried the seasonal veggie bowl and the portion was huge! It has lots of very unique flavors. This location is really nice and has a a lot of outdoor seating. The service was great and we got some assistance navigating the newer items on the menu.

Velvet Taco is always a great trendy place to go for unique and creative tacos. It's always a miss hit or hit with new flavors . but, always delicious.! Staff on point with friendly service

Grilled Steak

We back for a taco snack before the show. We were greeted with good music and a smile from our server Emily W. She was polite and was so apologetic that they now longer offer the Sangria Swirl with Grand Marnier. Plus no straws for any drinks. Oh well they definitely made it up by the delicious food from queso to the WTF Chicken Cesar Smash taco. Thanks again Velevt for the win.

Favorite taco place in Alliance area. Thank God pricing is still reasonable here and tacos are really delicious, especially the Mexicali shrimps and margaritas!

Quesa Birria Duo with consume sauce
Gator G.

I ordered the quesabirria tacos through their drive thru. The wait to order was not long but it did take some time to receive the food. The order was well packaged but that's it. The consomé sauce was cold and the taco had a tough corn tortilla folded in half with some sprinkled cheese and whatever leftover birria they had left. The order comes with 2 tacos, but both tacos were the same as shown in the photo. For the price and quality, I would rather drive 10 minutes farther down the road and get better quality AND quantity. I only chose to try this place because it was open late and on my way home.

YELPERS!! Attention all YELPERS I have a PSA for the people!! Velvet Tacos is another Texas gem!! The tacos here are AMAZING!! Full of flavor and quite the creative fusion. I came here a few nights ago and had crooked eyes almost halfway through my drink!! This sangria swirl is a problem in THEE best way!! It's a frozen margarita mixed with sangria. Listen, we are here for a good time not a long time so indulge in this adult libation, if you're of legal age (underage kids not allowed) The restaurant is a cool, kick-back spot. I love the outdoor seating area, personally. Let's talk about the specifics of the food. I had the Korean taco for the first time on my last visit and it was so tasty. The flavors in this taco is Fourth of July in your mouth. Too good!! I coupled it with the Bacon Smash Taco which for the life of me has me contemplating how a burger could taste so much better than a taco!! Whatever they used to season their meat is the perfect mate for the sauces they use to complete this dish. [Whatever you do Velvet Tacos, NEVER remove this item from your menu. Just a suggestion ]. They offer a combo which includes two tacos and one side. I chose the blanco queso which comeswith chips. The sauce they add to the top of the blanco is so good stirred into the cheese. This combo was worth every penny of $14 plus tax. The pics attached are the elote my sister ordered along with the birria and the other taco she ordered . She LOVED her choices. The sangrias run $9 for regular and $12 for large. If you're in a crunch, they have a drive thru. What's stopping you?!? GET DOWN HERE AND COME EAT AND DRINK responsibily! Thank me later!! Until my next review... bye for now

Went to Velvet Taco for the first time today and was very impressed with the food and the service. Ordered the two taco combo and chose the Quesabirria and Mexi-Cali shrimp, with a side of the queso. The standout quesabirria was incredible! The queso hit just the spot. Jessica was very accommodating and kind. She gave great suggestions for a first-timer.

They had been open only a week but food was spot on. Congrats and welcome to North Fort Worth. New building design is awkward but didn't come for the design but for the food. Excellent.

Food and service were both excellent. Try the red curry coconut queso. Very cool spin on traditional queso.

I found this spot from a local recommendation, the kind that comes with confidence and a smile,…read moreswearing these street tacos were the real deal. I'll admit, I was skeptical. I've eaten a lot of tacos in my time. But some bites have a way of humbling you. This one did. I ordered the street tacos with barbacoa. Corn tortillas layered with melted cheese, another tortilla laid gently on top, then crowned with rich, slow-cooked meat. Simple ingredients, intentional hands. The first bite landed heavy -- comforting, soulful, and loud in all the right ways. These tacos slapped harder than Babe Ruth sending one out of the park. And the real kicker? The smile on her face as she watched me take that first bite -- the kind that says, "I told you so," without needing to say a word. She knew she was right. The service matched the food -- warm, polite, unhurried. That small-town kind of kindness where you're treated like you belong, even if it's your first time through the door. No rush, no attitude, just genuine care. Some places feed you. Others stay with you. Taqueria Temo does both. I'll be back.

An excellent Mexican restaurant. A hole in the wall kind of place, minimum service, not speaking…read moremuch English (I asked what is each meat, but the person struggled to explain to me in English). The price is fair and good portion size. I got the 4 tacos and throughly enjoyed every bite of it. It's a pretty small restaurant, if you are looking for nice environment to have a conversation, you may be disappointed, but if you are looking for great food with decent price point, here is your place.

The interior and exterior of Buena Vida is warm and inviting. The staff were friendly and quick with our order. There are plenty of areas to sit and their menu offers a variety of options. I opted for the barbacoa and chipotle lime tacos with a side of borracho beans. The beans were flavorful and paired well with the yummy tacos. My friend enjoyed her tacos as well. My meal satisfied me without feeling stuffed. I look forward to my next visit.

Our original plans for the evening were thrown off due to…read morenot knowing which places in the area were open when, so we opted for this place since it was accessible and the parking seemed to be more reasonable than others in the area. They're your typical trendy taco place, with their own selection of merchandise and crazy/cheesy jokes strewn about on t-shirts and signage. They have an ample bar space, but it looked like only one patron was interested in that; the rest of us were there to eat. You order your food at the counter and get a buzzer to come back and pick it up. The staff is friendly enough, but you don't really interact with them much since it's all pretty much self service after you go to the counter. The drink station has cane sugar based sodas; it's a bit heavy on the foam, but otherwise good. We opted for the birria pizza, a couple of cups of pozole, and a side of elote. Everything was solid. The elote was good, not great, but the pozole really hit the spot given how cold it was outside. The birria pizza is what blew me away, though. This was easily one of the most unique, but tasty, things I've ever had. It's not really a pizza, more like a topped quesadilla, but they did a great job of it. I'd not only come back here next time I'm in Fort Worth, I'd be interested in opening a location in Houston if I had the money to franchise it.
