Overall: decent place for brunch in SA

Everything came out quickly, the service was smooth, and the whole menu felt approachable. I enjoyed the crawfish roll, which is a really nice alternative to the crab roll. Almost every time I see crawfish that's been peeled be someone else on a menu, I get pretty excited. Anyway, it served with the made-in-house hot sauce mixed with the drawn butter. Yummy. The fries were especially good, and dessert really surprised us. The carrot cake is very mild on the spice side, which actually let the textures shine, especially the brittle on top. It was incredibly light, crunchy, and honestly the best part of the dessert. We also appreciated how efficient everything was. We had a relaxed lunch, never felt rushed, and still managed to be in and out within about an hour and a half. Overall, a great experience and a great choice to eat here based on the efficiency and menu options for the pickier people in our group,

Family-style meal for our event, but this only made the interaction that much better. Their famous fried chicken was fab (probably that pickle brine) and the tenderloin melted in my mouth. Leave room for the bread pudding or take it to go. Finally, and most importantly to me, their beer offering is top notch. Their in house brews were delicious and paired well with the meal. Emily was a fantastic server and knowledgeable about the food, drinks, the restaurant, and the historic area of the Pearl. She made the meal even more enjoyable than it already was.

As soon as you walk in, the space feels very open and spacious with plenty of seating. Everything was super clean, including the bathrooms, which is always a plus. The menus are easy to read and posted on the wall as well as at the register, and they clearly explain what comes in each taco. I went on a Sunday and had no problem finding seating. I tried the red curry queso, buffalo chicken taco, and the fish taco -- and wow. The queso was amazing with just the right amount of spice, and the homemade blue corn tortilla chips were incredibly crunchy. They paired perfectly with the queso... so much so that I couldn't stop eating them and ended up getting a second serving. The fish taco was hands down my favorite. It came on a flour tortilla with well-seasoned, crispy fish and cabbage that added even more crunch. There was a sauce on it that I couldn't quite identify -- it reminded me a little of curry at first, but finished with more of a tangy flavor. Whatever it was, it worked perfectly. The buffalo chicken taco was also really good. The chicken pieces were the perfect bite size, so every bite had chicken without being overwhelming. The buffalo sauce wasn't messy or dripping everywhere, and I believe there was a ranch-style sauce that balanced it out nicely along with some added crunch. Both tacos were great, but I would absolutely order the fish taco again. The service really stood out. Sabrina checked on me multiple times during my visit and provided excellent customer service. She asked if it was my first time at Velvet Taco. When I said yes, she surprised me with their red velvet cake and even packed it up to go for me. I took it home, and it was incredibly moist, rich, and full of flavor. It came with icing (which I didn't even need to try because the cake itself was that good). Overall, amazing food, clean and welcoming space, and outstanding service -- especially from Sabrina. I'll definitely be back.

On Mondays, they have their old-fashioned half off all day. That's what I got. The Old-fashioned was made pretty well. We shared the bread basket, the Caesar salad, The charred watermelon, and the smoked heirloom tomato. The Cesar Salad was good and could be made into a meal by adding a protein. The bread basket was not worth the eight dollars. I would skip it. The smoked heirloom tomato with whipped cheese was good, but a tad bit on the spicy side. You can work around the spicy parts, but you can't avoid them completely. The best item was the charred watermelon. That was so good. I definitely recommend it. They have inside and outside seating. There's a bar area. Our waitress was very nice and came around often enough. The restaurant is located at the Pearl, so parking is more than likely, going to be paid for a spot unless you find a free spot on the street.
