Reviews for Velvet Taco in The Woodlands, TX
Buffalo chicken was my favorite taco. The spicy chicken tikka taco was also good. We thought the Cuban Pig was very dry and my... friend complained that the tortilla on the rotisserie chicken taco fell apart the moment she picked it up. The cashier, however,did bring us another tortilla so I guess I can say the service was good. Read more
We shared the elote and chips, which we both enjoyed and finished right as our order was called. I got the Mexi-Cali Shrimp... Tacos - yummy with a bit of heat, but I would've liked a little more lime & cilantro, the Flank Steak with portobellos - nicelyrich and tender. My husband ordered the rotisserie chicken - his least favorite bc it's a little generic and safe, the Koreanfried rice - his favorite with juicy pork and pineapple, and another Mexi-Cali Shrimp taco too. The extra hot hot sauce wasdelicious ????! I love that they offered Topo Chico. Read more
Neat Taco Spot. An interesting competition to Torchys Tacos. What I find hilarious is this location is across the street from... one. Tacos were fresh and made to order. They had some great fusion tacos that were extremely enjoyable. I was able to orderthe Cuban, the Tikka Chicken, the Grilled Flank Steak, and the Green chile pork. Each one was very good, but a few had an ordersour/vinegar note that was slightly overpowering other flavors. However each person can enjoy to their own preferences. Decorwas great and the outside patio is beautiful. This is a great place to hangout and enjoy tacos and they stay open tillmidnight! One critique is that there was a potent odor from cleaning or maintenance that was very noticeable, but I believethat was due to cleaning schedule. Overall worth checking out! Read more
I was really looking forward to lunch here since I haven?t been to velvet taco since I left Chicago. It was pretty good.. I... think they just have a few things to sort out. It was lunch time and pretty busy, but I had to wait a really really long timefor my tacos. We only ordered four of them, so I?m not sure what the hold up was, but people after me were long gone with theirorder. The red velvet cake was pretty dry too. I know it?s gluten free, which is nice, but it shouldn?t be dry. I?ll try againin a few weeks. The tacos were good though . Read more
This is a great place to eat. Though it is a taco place, their unique tacos give you a chance to try different flavors in the... taco form. I read the reviews when they first opened and it was all about service and not fast enough, but I can confirm that isnow over as my food only took 10 minutes for our tacos. They don't give you enough chips to finish the queso, so ask formore! The two negatives are that they are a little pricey as each taco can be $5-$6. I spent $30 on 3 tacos and queso. Second,it was a bit smelly inside near the soda machines and the pickup counter. Read more
Velvet Taco Woodlands will be opening Monday however we had a chance to try them early and let?s just say I?m impressed. They... have tacos for every pallet you have. They have white queso and regular. They also have margaritas that are slamming. They hadred velvet cake samples as well. I personally could not tell that the staff were new. They were very knowledgeable about themenu and answered my thousands of questions. I can?t wait to go again next week. You want EVERYTHING!!!! PS: this is the oldBurger King across from Kroger on Gosling Read more
We went to the soft opening of Velvet Taco and loved it! This is similar in quality and service to all other Velvet Tacos that I... have visited, which is a good thing. Velvet taco offers tacos with traditional and many unique flavors. The unique flavorpairings are a signature feature of Velvet Taco. I personally like the Buffalo Chicken and Slow Roasted Angus. Even though it isa taco joint, the Crisp Tots may be my favorite item on the menu. They are so good I forgot to get a picture of them for thereview. Each food item we had was prepared well, tasted great, and was served in a timely and friendly manner. The atmosphereis traditional Velvet Taco, with a hip retro-western aesthetic. Everything was clean, and there is plenty of indoor and outdoorseating. If you are looking for tacos with unique flavors, Velvet Taco is the place to go. Read more
First time in and certainly WAS NOT the last! Right across the street from Torchy?s, I?ve eaten at both and will now exclusively... go to Velvet. Presentation, speed, attitude, environment and last but not least taste, were all on point. John the manager isgreat and made sure we were taken care of! He even gave us some coupons for a free taco and piece of cake! AMAZING! Read more
