"Some of the BEST tacos I’ve ever had. I’ve recently turned to a mostly plant-based diet, and boyyy these tacos were exploding with flavor. Perfectly balanced. So delicious!!! Will definitely be ordering every time I come to Austin!"

"I like the sauce taste and it’s bit spicy. Other restaurants are preparing tacos in sweet flavor but I like the spicy taste, hence I love Velvet Tacos."
