2 visits in 2 days! Yes we liked this place that much ! This time we had their bowls - I stuck with my Seasonal Veggie bowl with cabbage slaw , while the better half got the Mexi-Cali Shrimp bowl . Both were prepared fresh with greatest of ingredients and we savored each forkful! This what a lunch should be! read more

Steak tacos were cold. Elotes was room temp. Person who took our order was rude. It was a beautiful day but the lighting in the restaurant was so dim and dull, it looked so gloomy. We've been to so many better velvet taco locations. This one needs to go through a quality improvement event or something. read more

It's a nice place but wasn't well thought out. Feels crowded with 10 people in there. Big overhead screens behind the counter - where's the menu? A small laminate on the counter. Found a hair in our very first taco order. They remade it - but it took so long. My 9 year-old sat and watched all of us eat as they were remaking it. The remake wasn't made a priority- as watched people getting their orders that had arrived after we requested the new hairless taco. Won't be back. read more

This place was top notch. the chips and queso really hit the spot, the chicken tenders were surprisingly good in a taco place. My son fell in love with the tacos with steak and queso only. The service was standard. Buffalo chicken taco still is the winner out of all the tacos! read more

2nd times a charm. My favorite taco, Tikka Masala, was loaded and flavorful. Definitely a fan favorite to try it out! read more

I have had this particular taco place to go many times, but never have I gone and sat down and eat, which in my opinion is a better experience! When we got ready to leave and we had leftover food, they gave us a whole new bag of chips, which are always fresh! My favorite is the Mexicali shrimp taco!! read more

Don't waste your time. No prices on the menu, watch out. Food was mediocre, greasy.

Food was great! But why would you offer a buy one get one on bowls on an already limited menu (5 bowl options) but then tell us the bowl we want won't work with the offer? Someone in the restaurant should be able to override their daily special to get the in app offer the app is promoting. The guy taking our order was very nice. The ambiance is good but the hard wooden stools are a terrible choice. read more

food gave me a stomach ache not even 5 minutes after, chipotle might be overpriced and bad but its literally just better. Ordered double meat and got absolutely nothing; Guac is also extremely oversalted. Come here at your own risk. read more

Zero urgency from the back to the front. Immediately when I walked up, the guy behind the counter at the register just looked at me. I asked him if he needed my name and he just stood there and we started ordering. It was unusual. Then the food was cold when we finally got it. From the moment it hit our table, it was cold which made sense because watching the staff in the back it was like they were all just sedated or something. It's a shame because we really like this place otherwise. read more

I hope this is a review I can update later, as Velvet taco is a great place. This location is fairly new so I'll give them a little grace but when we went here around dinner it was downright filthy inside. Half the tables were occupied, the other half of the tables were extremely dirty and disgusting. Just leftover napkins and food particles everywhere, the trash cans overflowing. It did not appear that anyone was cleaning tables or handling garbage. Giving Chipotle levels of filth and neglect. The tacos we ordered were pretty good, so I don't have any complaints with the food itself. I don't know if this is the norm with these rapidly expanding Velvet Taco locations, but I don't like that there is no actual bar, so if you want another margarita you have to just wait in the long food line. I would have had a second marg, but didn't want to wait. All in, Velvet Taco is great, if not a little overpriced. This location really just needs to figure out how to keep the dining room clean. read more

Good was good but Disappointed at the check out process when told by cashier he gave us the 'rewards' we earned but we were charged the full price. Probably won't be back to this location as they weren't very accommodating when we questioned it and they attempted to correct it. read more

can you guys just slow down and look at the ticket? every time guys... every time... you guys ALWAYS FORGET MY QUESO.FOR THE OOVE OF GOD INPAG $20 for the nowl the least you could do is NOT FORGET MY SIDES. read more

Service: Order was incomplete. When I called the restaurant, they said they are not responsible for the driver and offered a refund for less than the amount I paid or for me to drive and pick up the order that was charged but not delivered. Rafael, who answered the phone, even asked me to include his name in this review. Food: Tacos were overfried and impossible to eat. read more

Of course we all know velvet taco food is delicious, but this particular location is even better because the service has been and is top notch every time we go in. The store is always clean, food is fresh, and the staff are awesome! read more

Food was good and service was good. They don't really have a good ambiance due to unsupervised kids running around getting into people way coughing everywhere. There were some workers helping bah food but their uniform shirt was very dirty and they kept on the same gloves they used to clean with. read more

Great staff! And great food! 10/10 would recommend. If you're in McKinney check them out

I came here agitated because of how poorly I was treated at the burger place next door. The service was great and fast. I actually wanted a burger so I ordered the smash burger from Velelvet taco. The food was great, the price about 1/2 of what I was charged at the burger place next door. They treated me well and the ambiance of the buisness was great. Thank you. read more

Everything was perfect. The food. The service. The location. TONS of seating. Our go to location from now on.

Rafael is so clutch. great service, great food, great place, great time. best location by far. read more

Velvet Taco - Best manager of all time - Tacos Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Philip was an absolutely awesome face of Velvet Taco. He was great at taking our order, but recommended a combo deal based on what we ordered. He was also super observant of the cc my wife was using and saw that it was from USAA and asked if we were military. Then proceeded to apply a military discount to our order. Simply amazing!! This guy is truly an inspiration and asset to the organization!! read more

It was comparable to Torchy's Tacos. My husband and I ordered the combos. They had a drink, tacos and chips and a dip. I would not order that again. It was good but I didn't need the chips and queso. The brisket tacos were flavorful and had a pink sauce and big chunks of avocado. The shell was a bit crispy as it had cheese melted on it. On the expensive side but a good value for the money. These were not cheap tacos. read more

Have eaten here a few times, I'm always amazed at the quality and consistency of the food. Not to mention the staff is always friendly.

My husband's favorite restaurant. Don't miss a week without eating there. Creative menu.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Velvet Taco! The manager Manny let me try the new potsticker weekly taco and it is SMACK!!! Customer service was top notch! The elote is my favorite side too. read more

The tacos are always cold and this location has the world's most uncomfortable table stools. Please change out your seating and those with junk in the trunk will be eternally grateful. read more

I ate there this evening with my family and we sat on the patio. After 45 minutes I had to go in and ask about the status of our order and was told that they forgot to make it. No apology from the manager only that we would get it when it's ready. When we did get our food, my daughter's fish tacos were cold and they are supposed to be served hot or warm. Bad experience all around and I would not recommend this place. read more

Sooooo gooood!! Didn't expect the red velvet cake after the great tacos. But it was so good!

Great customer service, awesome margaritas. Larger building so there was tons of seating. Food came out fast and correct!

Great experience!! This was one of my first times getting velvet and it was a 10/10. To start the food is amazing, I had one chicken and waffle and the Quesa birria duo tacos. They were both so good I couldn't decide which one I loved more. The building looked really cool inside and out having color and pop all over. Not only that the staff were super friendly helping me decide what to get and were very kind. If you're looking for good food kind people in a good spot this is the place you've been looking for. read more

I'm so happy Velvet finally came to McKinney! Service was AMAZING, all of the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. I love the new building, it looks amazing. The food was some of the best I've had. The spicy chicken tikka was on point! I would recommend Velvet to anyone, The menu is so diverse, they have something for everyone! read more

First time eating at a Velvet Taco and I was looking forward to it. We walked in to the end of the serving/pickup line. So we walked around the narrow corridor in between elevated bench tables with people standing and sitting and the trash and tray return stations to the entrance to the order area. Awkwardly laid out to say the least. I ordered pork queso birria tacos and my wife ordered the salmon taco. I picked up our order a few minutes later, not a bad wait time. It all easily fit in a 2 taco metal taco holder with room to spare. The queso birria tacos were greasy, literally flat and limp. Cheesy, with almost no pork in them, the birria sauce was as expected and plenty for the 2 tacos. I have had similar soggy, greasy fried tacos before, but they had more filling, cost less and came with rice and beans. My wife's liked the salmon taco, but again not much salmon, lots of corn and slaw in it though. read more

outstanding service super friendly people good was amazing Rafael was really amazing make sure he is there when y'all go visit
