    The quality of the food is very good, and I do enjoy eating here! My only hang up is really more around the business strategy of not putting prices on the menu. You go in blind, and I have found that most tacos range from $5.50-$7.00 each. The food is woth it, but I would just like to know prices upfront. I also am not a huge fan of restaurants asking for a 20%-22%-25% tip just for taking your order at the counter with no severs or wait staff. You see that everywhere though, but still, who are we tipping and why?

    Ordered some tacos on wednesday night close to closing. We were trying to order through their website and it wasn't allowing us so we called; the lady on the phone seemed irritated already since it was close to closing but my gfs brother had ordered a normal cheese quesadilla and got a chicken quesadilla (he's vegetarian...) We also ordered an elote dip and it came cold. It wasn't just bad thankfully, i really enjoyed the Nashville hot tofu, it was perfectly crispy, but i would pass on the beer battered cauliflower and fried paneer next time. I think the hindi flavors just didn't pair well with me idk. Maybe try coming earlier and you won't have an experience like me

    As someone who grew up in Mexico eating real tacos, I see this place as more of an American-style taco spot -- so I don't compare it to traditional Mexican tacos. But on the American Taco Sami Scale (where a 10 is basically mythical), I'd give Velvet Taco a solid 8.2 I love this place -- they have so many great taco options for us non-meat eaters (vegetarian/pescatarian), and their drinks are phenomenal. The outdoor seating is really cool too.

    Stopped by Velvet Taco for a quick bite and tried the queso blanco. The queso had good flavor and the chips were warm and crispy. What made it better was their hot sauce selection. It had lots of heat and flavor to play around with. I also had a little margarita on the side which hit the spot. Service was super fast and everyone was really friendly. They even checked on me a few times which was a nice touch for a fast-casual place.

    One of my favorite spots inside of Legacy Hall. The chicken tikka tacos are AMAZING and huge. 2 tacos is more than enough for one person. I haven't personally tried the red velvet cake but I see many people ordering it. The vibe inside Legacy Hall is lively so you have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy your food!

    Velvet has my favorite chips and queso of all time. The chips are not too oily and the queso is so cheesy and flavorful. Service was quick and I love there is outdoor seating with good music.

    I got to try Velvet Taco a few years ago at a location in Austin so was really excited to get to try it again in Plano! The order ahead and pick up through the drive-thru is so convenient. We hardly waited anytime to get our food. I opted for the Korean Pork bowl and it was so tasty. The jalapeños were such a perfect amount of heat to pair with the dish. I also wanted to try the elote guac on the side, which was incredible. They provide a generous serving of chips on the side. My nieces love their queso blanco. Really yummy spot!

    First time at the Plano location and boy was I pleased! We did an online order and to our surprise they had a pickup window which is a drive thru as well, GREAT FEATURE! Whoever was at the window was AH-mazing customer service was on point and so pleasant for us picking up a half hour before close! We didn't go inside to peep the ambiance but it wasn't needed with the delightdul gentleman at the window! Now for the food, RUN TO VELVET TACO and get their new bowls! It says limited time but I feel it's a test the water type thing! Get you a bowl and never go to Chipotle's again or any other establishment that has taco type bowls! Exceeded our expectations but a trillion, this bowl is jam packed with flavor and ingredients! Needless to say I already have a return date with the kids! YUM! YUM! YUM!!

    All veg tacos, the smash burger, buffalo chicken, and hatch green chili pork!

    The food was incredible and Frost was so sweet and helpful at the counter! If you need a place to cool off and enjoy some good food, clean atmosphere and good vibes you've gotta make this your next stop!

    Incredible tacos at a reasonable price, especially considering how much meat they put on these…read moretacos! Every order is served on a little tray with chopped onion and cilantro on the side along with a little cup of charro beans. I've had the trompo (al pastor), barbacoa, and carne asada, and they were all incredible and VERY generous on the meat. Elote was decent and (as a fun fact) they have a self serve sauce and cheeto/takis dust area that you can top it off with. The restaurant is directly connected to a dessert shop with an expansive dessert menu and freezers full of $1.50 paletas (I suggest the rice flavor - kind of like a horchata on a stick).

    Very bad experience. Ordered togo for my family figuring I had plenty of time to get home before…read morethey arrived. I had written down the order details of what everyone wanted so as to not make a mistake. When ordering, the service person kept repeating back something different from what I was saying. There was a line forming and I couldn't make him take the order faster. When ordering large amounts of food I price out the approx total plus sales tax of that city. The person at the register said that I owed $15 more than the figure I had approximated. When I asked for them to clear the order and put it in again, they became quite nasty about having to do it again. After another employee came and cleared out the order, and it was reentered into the register it had dropped down to being $4 over my estimate. I went ahead and paid just to get my food and go. They said that they were out of receipt paper for the register so I didn't get one. The place was packed so I stood off to the side and waited. And waited. The tables were constantly filled with trash left on them and scattered across the floor. A person would come out from back and remove the trash from the tables, but then wipe them with a dirty looking towel. The floor was never addressed. After 35 minutes I inquired about my order. They said that since it was a big order it was taking time to fill. I went back to waiting. Several Hispanic families that ordered after I had placed my order had gotten their food and were either finishing up or had already left. Must of their food was the same as what I had ordered. After two more inquiries about my order, it was finally delivered after waiting for over an hour. Although I am not totally fluent in Spanish, I know enough when people are talking about me and not in a favorable way. Got home after everyone else had arrived and began sorting out the individual orders. Out of 6 orders, 5 were either wrong or were missing an item. I don't know which was worse, the food being cold, the items swimming in grease (which had congealed), or the burnt and/or gristle rich tortillas and meats. I thought that this place would be great after several people who go there regularly had recommended it, but this was a waste of money and a disaster of food quality. Never again.

    I'm so HAPPY I gave them a 2nd chance. Friends and fellow yelpers kept saying they thought these…read moreunique tacos were good. Maybe my first experience was on an off day. This visit did not disappoint me. The tacos were delicious and flavorful. I also tried some recommended favorites of friends. The Lobster and Shrimp Taco was amazing. It was well seasoned and the scampi sauce was finger licking good! It was delightful and delectable bite. The Philly Cheesesteak was loaded with peppers, onions and lots of meat. It was a great tasting and fun taco. The Spicy Mango Margarita on happy hour was perfect. It had a nice kick and the tajin rim was the perfect touch. The ambiance is so cool for tacos. It's just the cutest place. A happy and colorful restaurant. It was clean, cozy and comfortable. Service was good the waiter was pleasant. I took my mom with me and she enjoyed herself. I left feeling happy, full and SATISFIED! I think places deserve second chances. I can say it lived up to the hype and exceeded my expectations. It was an incredible experience and excellent visit.

    This one was hard to rate 4 stars for food…read more3 for service and cost On the one hand the interior is beautiful, stunning and so fun. The menu has so many tasty offerings and the food was delicious. However, the prices are, in my opinion, steep for street size food. My Mahi Mahi taco was delicious, but it was small. I was still hungry and could have easily ordered a second or even third taco BUT at $11 for one taco that was too steep for lunch. Instead, Dani and I PAID to split chips + salsa - not free, but a paid appetizer. Our server was so quiet we had trouble hearing him and he mostly left us to ourselves, occasionally dropping by to fill waters. Dream Tacos has excellent food, but the portion sizes and cost are far too steep for this area and for being a taco joint. Sadly, I don't think they will last at these ptoces in this location.
