Today's advertisement for free queso
Michael R.

We come often, for the food, the staff, and the excellent tacos and sides! This Fort Worth location is wonderful. We were in just two days ago to get my reward, but it was too much food to eat! We came back today with "reinforcements". Again, Velvet Taco didn't disappoint. Our food and sides were great! Thank you Velvet Taco, the whole staff at this Fort Worth location for such a great experience.

Was in a takeout mood and decided to treat myself after finishing a stretch of nights at work. Haven't had Velvet Taco in quite some time so I decided to try it out again. For my order, I got the spicy tikka chicken, buffalo chicken, and an order of chips and guac. The tikka chicken tacos are a MUST. The flavor is great and, for me, the basmati rice is perfect tie-in for texture in the taco. I got three of them. I got one of the buffalo chicken just to change things up. It was good as well. No complaints with it. I just think the tikka is really the star of the show. Lastly, the chips and guac were tasty as well - I mean, how can you go wrong with chips and guac? Overall, would order again - Velvet Taco is a go-to for fusion tacos.

It's Christmas Eve! Tacos were on the menu after a long afternoon at the Zoo. Being from Florida I had never visited a Velvet Taco. The variety was intriguing. I opted for Korean Fried Rice and a salmon taco. Upgraded with a side of delicious Guacamole, Chips and Margarita. Service was awesome. Food delicious.

Good atmosphere

Amazing customer service a really good place to come sit down and eat with your friends and family!!!

Beer batter cauliflower (left) + Nashville hot tofu (right)

Great vegetarian tacos! I got one beer-battered cauliflower and one Nashville hot tofu taco. The cauliflower was more of a typical flavour for Americanized tacos while the tofu was more unique. Both well-executed though! The spice level on the tofu was medium at most; it wasn't too hot, but you could add hot sauce if you wanted it really hot. They were busy but the food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. Lots of seating including a large patio. Very very friendly staff.

Whenever I am in Fort Worth and close to a velvet taco, I just have to order. The first time I ordered was from Uber Eats because they have some really good promotions. I ordered two medium tacos and their Smashburger taco which were both delicious and flavorful. I also ordered a side of chips and queso as I'm a sucker for queso blanco. There's not only is tasty, but I have that nice Texan blend of veggies and spices this time around. I ordered the loaded nachos which come with brisket the queso Blanco, Crema corn and some other sauces. Going to keep trying new things but so far everything I've had has been very tasty.

Velvet Taco has a fun, upbeat ambiance with a casual, modern vibe that's great for a quick bite or hanging out. The food is fresh, flavorful, and creative with unique taco options that stand out. Service is fast, friendly, and efficient, even when it's busy

2 taco combo with guacamole
Tom S.

Awesome vegetation options. I had the 2-taco combo with the beer-battered cauliflower and the weekly special (spicy falafel). Both were delicious. The guacamole was also fresh and yummy.

Queso Blanco

Velvet Taco is such a classic spot for unique tacos. A little pricey for a taco, but they're STACKED. You NEED to try their chicken tikka taco if you haven't yet. Their queso is also delicious. I tried their chimichurri steak taco for the first time and enjoyed it, but I unfortunately wasn't too impressed with the crisp tots and sunny egg. It tasted dry and the egg didn't have that perfect runny yolk. The vibes and energy are always lively at this location. It can take a while to get through the line to order when it's busy, but the tacos are served pretty quickly. Seating is first come first serve. Note: If you order an alcoholic drink, you'll need to pair it with food (which can be an order of chips which are $1). Bonus tip: If you sign up for their rewards program, you can get a free slice of red velvet cake on your birthday! There's a small parking lot available, and I believe there's an overflow lot in the back. Overall, Velvet is a go-to spot of mine whenever I'm craving a taco!

Nedelka C.

The tacos are very delicious, I highly recommend them. The service is great and the place is super clean.

Fried Paneer
Soumya G.

Great spot with lots of options for both veg and non-veg. The paneer taco and beer-battered cauliflower are must-tries if you're going veg. Nice outdoor seating, chill vibe, and the staff are really friendly.

Sunset Velvet Taco

We eat here once a week! Every Friday. Their tacos are Amazing and the customer service aim to please. Try the shrimp taco's. My favorite. Paula was awesome. We saw a beautiful sunset from Velvet tonight

Tacos so good I went 2 days in a row! 1st day was great but the 2nd time they got my order wrong. I turned around and went back and spoke to the manager. I wasn't able to get his name but he apologized profusely and remade my order. The service is fantastic and the tacos are amazing! I recommend the beer battered cauliflower and buffalo chicken taco. Can't believe I always drove past Velvet Taco.

Famous for their Red Velvet cake!

How much for the half chicken?

Whole chicken meal takeout deal is just $10 on mondays!

Is making home made tortillas in the foreseeable future?

One day I'm sure; but honestly it doesn't make that much of a difference. Coming from a tortilla expert 😙

When I was on my birria kick I would drive from Arlington all the way here because no other place came close. The meat is full of flavor and spice and the conzume they bring out with it is just as good. Its full of spice and flavor and I straight up drink that by itself, i dip my tortillas with it. I usually put salt and lemon on the tortillas and then roll them up and dip em in the conzume. In the past, I had the ramen, the platillo, the tacos, and I think the quesabirria, they are all delicious but my favorite is the quesabirria and the tacos, followed by the ramen. The menu is small but just stick with the tacos or buy the meat by the pound, and you are good to go. The rice and beans are average but still good; the salsas they have on are amazingly delicious. The light green one is my favorite because is not too spicy but spicy enough to give me that kick am looking for in my food. I drown my food in that salsa sometimes and then dip in conzume.

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.

As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by the staff, and everyone has always been super friendly. The music is loud and energetic, and there always seems to be a good crowd enjoying their food, which gives the place a really fun, vibrant atmosphere. There are a few tables and booth and bar seating available. I've had the street taco platter twice now, and it is SO good. I've tried the pastor, asada, and barbacoa, and the pastor is definitely my favorite. The platter comes with rice and beans in addition to your choice of meat for three tacos. I also love that it comes with a spicy verde salsa and limes! The queso is another favorite. It's delicious, and they give you a really generous portion. I've ordered chips and queso both times, and there's plenty for one person. And if you're a margarita person, their to-go margaritas are such a fun bonus! They seal them up so you can safely take them home. Price-wise, it seems comparable to other Mexican restaurants in the area. My street taco platter, chips, and queso came out to around $25, which I think is pretty reasonable for the amount of food. Both times I've stopped in for a to-go order, I've been in and out in under 10 minutes, which is a huge plus. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for street tacos in the area.

To top it off, we ordered margaritas that were refreshing and hit the spot. They also have a great happy hour from 2-6 p.m., Monday through Friday and Loteria and prizes on Thursdays making it an even better place to stop by. Between the delicious food, tasty drinks, welcoming staff, and great vibes, Añejo Taqueria is a place we always look forward to visiting. Highly recommend!

The beans had a lot going on and included ingredients that probably should be mentioned when ordering. She thought the fries were decent, but said the birria tacos were just okay and that she's had much better elsewhere in the area. The service is good and straightforward. You walk up to order, grab a seat, and wait for your buzzer to go off. One thing to note: if you order drinks, keep an eye out for them because they're not brought to your table. As for my meal, I tried the mushroom, shrimp, and pastor tacos. The pastor was underwhelming, and the shrimp was overcooked. The mushroom taco was easily the standout and will definitely be my go-to if I come back. The weather will soon be nice for enjoying the patio, but there's also plenty of indoor seating available.
