A staple for taco lovers looking for something different. Love the tikka chicken, and pretty much everything. Vibe is fun and laid-back. Service is quick. Just an easy place to hang out for a while and enjoy some unique tacos you won't find anywhere else.

Amazing food. Cool, fun environment. Friendly staff. Would recommend here for sure.

Dakota took our order and was very patient with us as we finalized our decisions. They were also great at giving feedback on the tacos we were still trying to decide on! I am vegetarian and decided to try the fried paneer (#5) and the beer battered cauliflower (#6.5). The group I was with also split the red curry queso and the queso blanco! Everything was delicious and I’d eat all of it again, but I especially loved the red curry twist on the queso. I didn’t have a margarita this time around, but I tried a sip of my siblings’, and they were very good!!

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 is great and made sure we were taken care of! He even gave us some coupons for a free taco and piece of cake! AMAZING!

Great food. Really nice staff. Nice size tacos too.

Buffalo chicken taco good flavor, chicken in waffle taco interesting. Red velvet cake pretty good with the sauce. Queso was great! Staff super friendly and helpful as it was our first trip there

It wasn’t super busy at 11pm on a Saturday, but the staff was energetic and so helpful. They made great recommendations! The food was delicious and the combinations were a new take that worked so well. The tots with bacon, avocado oil, blu cheese, and topped with a fried egg nearly knocked me off my chair. The chicken and waffle taco with chili aioli was all the right kinds of sweet, savory, and spicy. I will be back soon!

Nice addition to The Woodlands. Salmon taco was top notch and really enjoyed the tater tots , finished them before I could take a photo.

Bro! This location is literally across the street from a Torchy's Tacos....5/5 recommend Velvet Taco. I had the Smash Burger taco, the buffalo chicken taco and the salmon taco. Filling, yes. Delicious - yes. Going back....next time I'm in the Woodlands I will be back there. My wife had their shrimp taco and she talked about how good it was and their, "some type of aioli" and how good it was on there. Sorry no pics...wish I had some though! If you try it, let me know what you had and what you think about it!

I can’t even begin to express how excited I am that we have a velvet taco so much closer to us now!!!! We went yesterday after a long day of shopping and had a wonderful experience thanks to Lidia and Esteban!!! They were so kind and got our food out to us so quickly! We had the picnic chicken, flank steak and spicy tikka! You can NEVER go wrong with those choices and the ELOTE is really good with the blue corn chips! YUUUUM! The drink in the photo is a ranch water with grapefruit and tajin on the rim! Would recommend these tacos and this location to anyone!!! Wonderful service and wonderful food 🥰🥰🥰

When I first started coming here, I didnt know that the drive-thru window was only for online orders. So I would go through the drive-thru without an online order oblivious of this and the workers were still cordial and didnt even say anything to me and took my order at the window. It wasnt until the 3rd time (I think) they told me I had to go inside and that the drive-thru was for orders from online and ones called in for pick up. I started going inside after that (which I dont mind). Its worth mentioning to me that while the times I didnt know, my food was still awesomely made and I never had an issue with any order. Everytime I go to this location, I am satisfied. The mural on the wall is awesome too by the way.

Can’t get enough of these tacos! Been here so often, I’ve probably tried nearly every taco on their menu. Delicious!!!!!! This is a must try restaurant!!!!

The brisket bowl was good with the right amount of spice... Just some parts of the restaurant need updated

Everything is delicious! This is the kind of place you want to eat through the entire menu!

Everyone loved the tacos they tried. This is 3rd time visiting and you can’t go wrong with any taco. Atmosphere is wonderful and contemporary. Wish this opens up in California /)

Flavorful and fresh restaurant quality tacos in a casual environment.

When the waiter go far and beyond lol we loved it!! He ask us if we wanted him to take us a picture and he did awesome!!! Great vibes, great tacos and good margaritas!! We had so much fun. We loved the queso!! Definitely coming back!

I love the tacos here and it’s in a great tucked in spot in the woodlands. Outside patio is nice and spacious as well as dog friendly! The chimichurri taco is by far my fav and a defo must get!

If you meet a young woman named taylor, she has the best service. Very patient all around but the highlight is the cashier Taylor. Even just take out is insane. Perfect food! I know it isn’t so easy but give Taylor a promotion and raise!

Interesting menu and the food and the queso were great. Will be coming back to try their Velvet bowls.

Really good tacos, the combinations they make are delicious, great and tasty. Atmosphere is incredible. Loved this place

Great portions and great selection. My favorite is the rotisserie chicken and the Cuban. Don’t forget the queso, it’s really damn good

Let me tell you this place SMOKES their so called competition. The way this places puts together their flavors is beyond inspired. Just walk in and point at a stinkin’ item on the menu and you will leave happy. The #18 is my absolute go-to. It puts all other chicken and waffle combos out of BIZNAS! Not to mention the customer service from the moment you walk in. Today I met Dakota! With such great customer service Dakota could have United the North and South state version of themselves. That’s right I’m talking unity! I’m talking redemption! I’m talking WORLD PEACE! Ok, I’ll admit it I’ve strayed a little here. In all sincerity renew your faith in mankind and go eat at Velvet Taco🤣.

Best taco place for vegetarian people like me. You will never be disappointed. We visited this place and as mentioned earlier the experience was great. I have uploaded photos of our all time favourite tacos with side dishes also included names in caption if you are not sure what to order then go for it. Being a vegetarian Fried paneer, Nashville hot tofu and falafel are our favorite. You must visit this place if you have not already.

I had the shrimp, and and the salmon tacos, as well as the elote guacamole. It was amazing! The shrimp was so sweet and juicy, and the pico de gallo was great. But I really enjoyed the guacamole! The food came out super fast and it was really nice to have it on their nice patio.

Getting tacos here was so very gratifying! This place is right across from a Torchy’s Taco and I’d probably prefer the tacos at Velvet over Torchy’s. The chimichurri steak and Korean fried rice tacos took the top spots, for me personally. The meat on both of them were tender and juicy. Did not care for the “salsa” as it was more of pounded up tomato

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 flavor pairings are a signature feature of Velvet Taco. I personally like the Buffalo Chicken and Slow Roasted Angus. Even though it is a 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 the review. Each food item we had was prepared well, tasted great, and was served in a timely and friendly manner. The atmosphere is traditional Velvet Taco, with a hip retro-western aesthetic. Everything was clean, and there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. If you are looking for tacos with unique flavors, Velvet Taco is the place to go.

I tried the velvet tacos for the first time and they were delicious . We had a catering at my job and now I want to visit the location in thewoodlands . I definitely recommend it to everyone

I have had great experiences dining in, even during Sunday lunch! I stop and get take out through the drive thru weekly and I always have a great experience! The food is always ready when I arrive and its still hot!

Velvet taco never disappoints! The service is always super friendly and they get it right every time. My favorites are the Spicy Tikka Chicken and Mexi-Cali Shrimp, but you honestly can’t go wrong with any of them.

Zara Mashwani

Monday’s backyard chicken is amazing! The chicken is on point and so are the sides, you could easily feed 3/4 people. But have to get there earlier before 5 they almost always sell out fast.

evelyn medrano

So delicious!!! Went there specifically to burn through my gift cards and Morghanne (the server) helped me through it. I would say this place is better than Chipotle 👀, bigger portions too. Definitely recommend!!!

Patrick Kelly

Casual taco place with a very interesting menu. Service was fast, accurate and tacos 🌮 were great in flavor and size.

Todd Schmechel

Had time before my wife's doctor appointment so we stopped here. My wife can not handle ANY spicy food. She had the rotisserie chicken bowl. Both the avocado crema and corn salsa had jalapeños it it. Too spicy. They were gracious and gave her some sour cream to lower the burn. She loved the taste, just not the heat. I had a steak taco and the fish and chips taco. My side was elote. Everything was wonderful! Definitely going back to try more interesting tacos for sure! Fountain drinks are Coke products. I took one star off atmosphere because my wife didn't find the chairs comfortable.

Update: Velvet taco location management contacted me expressing their intentions to correct the issue. Updating review to 5 stars given their desire to fix the problem and great customer service. Giving Velvet taco a low score hoping they will fix this issue. Overall the food, drinks, and atmosphere is great. The problem is their pickup window for online orders. Employees at this location are allowing orders to be placed at the window as if it was a fast food drive thru. This causes long lines because their food takes a while to be prepared. If you order online and happen to end up behind a couple cars placing orders, you will wait 15-20 minutes before you can get to the window to pick up your food. Either set up a different window for orders, ask customers to move along and wait elsewhere like some fast food places have opted to do, or stop taking orders at a PICKUP window.

Decided to give Velvet Taco a try! Very nice place and great food! 🌮 They offer a Taco Combo were you can choose 2 tacos of your choice — I got the Fish N’ Chips Taco and the Spicy Tikka Chicken Taco. It also comes with a drink + chips and queso. They make everything from scratch. The Spicy Tikka Chicken Taco will blow your mind. The flavors are insanely good and has a power kick! 😍 I will be back for sure! They are also known for the made from scratch red velvet cake. I will try that next time. ❤️

This place is delicious. I love the slow roasted angus, its amazing

Ordered the combo that comes with 2 tacos, a side, and a drink. Delicious as usual. I tried the Burger Taco best burger I've had in a while. Crazy cause it's a taco. Also had the buffalo chicken taco. Great as well. Had to finish things off with a piece of red velvet cake. Chef's Kiss

It’s always a great idea to have dinner at Velvet Taco. Their menu is always expanding and there’s always something new to try. Their Queso Blanco is an absolute must when you go and you can’t go wrong with either their margarita or house made Paloma! We had a variety of tacos from Korean styled pork to spicy Indian Tikka chicken, and of course nice beef steak tacos with all the garnishes. The restaurant is clean and air conditioned and the atmosphere is very laid back. If you want to have some tacos that hit every time then Velvet is the right call!

Carl Bremer

First time there today. And me and the wifey got the combo and feel in love. We were welcomed when we came inside. The employee explained the menu too us. And the food was amazing. Much better than the taco place across the way. We will definitely be back and we live thirty minutes away from this place.

Jazlynn Hairston

Tacos are AMAZING!! We tried 6 different ones as this was our first time coming. We loved 4 out of 6 and the other two were good just different. Only negative if you could say was tables are a little wobbly and floors could be a little cleaner but overall music and atmosphere was great! Will be back for sure

Bodies By Farny

Velvet taco was one of the best tacos and sit down and eat experiences I’ve had in ages. The brisket taco was my Favorite of them all. For that alone I’d come back. The queso was also really enjoyable. Our orders came out in would was no More than maybe 5 minutes max. Our order came out quick and easy. Store is well staffed and operated. Happy to have tried it and can’t wait to come back again!

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 had red velvet cake samples as well. I personally could not tell that the staff were new. They were very knowledgeable about the menu and answered my thousands of questions. I can’t wait to go again next week. You want EVERYTHING!!!! PS: this is the old Burger King across from Kroger on Gosling

Really enjoyed the Queso Blanco and the Rotisserie Chicken taco. The white corn tortilla split so there was a lot of scooping. The flavor was good.

Tacos were good and unique. Tots were incredible. Will definitely visit again.

Tried out some tacos #5 Paneer, #3.5 Picnic Chicken, #7 Cuban, #6.5 Beer Battered Cauliflower, and Elote & Chips. All of them good. Chicken in Picnic Chicken taco was crispy. If you like pickle flavor, it was there with the Cuban taco. Tortillas didn't seem as warm or fresh as it could be, though.

They have delightful taco options. Some are only available seasonally. The environment is rather noisy but it is suitable for families; outside seating is available. The service is that of a fast food restaurant. You order, they call your name, you go get your food and you then clean up after yourself. The food is prepared fairly quickly and everyone was friendly. However, with that being said I am really not sure why there is a tip option while paying for your food when you're not being waited on. Overall good experience I would recommend others to try it.

I called when nearing for the first time. It is about 21:00. The associate was accommodating and suggested a few tacos that i actually hankering for. They just open 2 days ago. I pulled up to the old building of BK now Velvet Taco in Gosling. Two people came asking for my name and they seem to not able to find my name. it took another person; a young man; he was a bit lost and finally a txt message came through my phone and there it was. I asked what happen in between not finding my order. He said it has been a long day. So I tip him $10 for my two taco and Rita. New place need organization especially having too many people to serve. I wish Velvet Taco the best here inside the woods!!

The tacos are amazing and so are the options for the tacos in both Veg and non veg.

Velvet Taco never disappoints, but their Nashville Hot Tofu deserves a special shout-out! 🌟 I was honestly blown away by how perfectly it’s made — crispy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with bold, addictive flavor. The spice level is just right: enough heat to wake up your taste buds without overpowering the dish. The toppings are fresh, the textures are spot-on, and every bite feels like a flavor explosion. The service is quick, the vibe is fun, and the menu is creative, but this taco is easily one of the best vegetarian options I’ve had anywhere. Whether you’re a tofu fan or just want to try something new, Nashville Hot Tofu at Velvet Taco is a must-try. Highly recommended! 🌮🔥

The food is good. My favorite thing is the elote. In guaramole, mix and their tacos are okay. A lot of people like them, they're not bad.I normally get the chef's choice to get some diversity. But there's schwarma tacos are the best.

Fast service, very friendly cashier, and most importantly, very delicious food. I recommend brisket taco.

4 stars because tacos should never be this expensive.

I love Velvet Taco for my lunch break pick-up! The customer service is always fantastic, and I appreciate how easy it is to order through the app. My food is always ready at the promised time, which is perfect when I'm on a tight schedule. The vegetarian options are excellent. I'm a big fan of the beer-battered cauliflower taco, which is a combo of avocado, roasted corn, pico, and pepitas. It is delicious! I usually swap out the tortilla for a lettuce wrap, and it’s always super satisfying. I do miss the Mediterranean mushroom taco, though. It was my favorite! Please consider bringing it back. Overall, it is a fantastic place with flavorful and creative options. Highly recommend!

The menu at Velvet Taco is both eclectic and creative, featuring a variety of tacos. Some with unexpected ingredients. The tacos are served on a soft flour tortilla and come with a variety of toppings such as pickled vegetables, crema, and queso fresco. One standout dish is the Spicy Tikka Chicken taco which is bursting with flavor and heat. The crispy chicken is perfectly seasoned with Indian spices and topped with a cooling raita sauce. But tonight I tried something new. I had the Rotisserie Chicken Taco and the Grilled Flank Steak Taco. Both were well made and pretty good, but nothing special. In addition to tacos, Velvet Taco also offers sides like elote (Mexican street corn) and red curry coconut queso which are perfect complements to any meal. The service at Velvet Taco is very good, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who are happy to help with menu suggestions. Overall, Velvet Taco is a nice dining experience for anyone looking for creative tacos in a fun and energetic atmosphere.

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 - nicely rich and tender. My husband ordered the rotisserie chicken - his least favorite bc it's a little generic and safe, the Korean fried rice - his favorite with juicy pork and pineapple, and another Mexi-Cali Shrimp taco too. The extra hot hot sauce was delicious 😋! I love that they offered Topo Chico.

Service was fast for a to-go order! Got the Tikka bowl and the Mexican cali shrimp bowl, both were excellent. Queso was a miss but that was more because of my taste buds.

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 is now over as my food only took 10 minutes for our tacos. They don't give you enough chips to finish the queso, so ask for more! 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.

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 time for 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 their order. 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 again in a few weeks. The tacos were good though .

Velvet Taco was recommended by a friend at work so decided to try it on date night with the wife. The place was pretty busy but the service kept up pretty good. We had the weekly special taco , Muli Muli and one off the regular menu, Chimichurri . Both were pretty good but fairly pricey for a single taco at 6.50+

Food is really good tasting. I've never been disappointed with the food. I don't care for their utensils or trays. While they may be unique to the restaurant, they are not very practical for some customers. The restaurant itself could use more frequent cleaning of tables and floors. The prices are good.

The Cauliflower Taco and Red Velvet Cake were excellent. The Spicy Chicken Tikka had a little too much yogurt for me and I would have done cilantro instead of basil. Great service but chairs were comically loud.

There are hardly words for my giddiness and joyfulness after first trying these tacos. I didn’t know vegan, gluten free tacos could be this good, and fun. Shout out to Velvet Taco for thinking outside of the usual suspects - which are gross. I wish the employees knew the sauces better so there was a more uniform response about what a safe substitute for default sauces might be, but overall - 🫰 🫰 ⭕️

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 order the Cuban, the Tikka Chicken, the Grilled Flank Steak, and the Green chile pork. Each one was very good, but a few had an order sour/vinegar note that was slightly overpowering other flavors. However each person can enjoy to their own preferences. Decor was great and the outside patio is beautiful. This is a great place to hangout and enjoy tacos and they stay open till midnight! One critique is that there was a potent odor from cleaning or maintenance that was very noticeable, but I believe that was due to cleaning schedule. Overall worth checking out!

Lunch time... the drive thru is not quick. Be prepared to pull up to an empty parking. It's a bit pricey. 1 salmon taco, small chips and quest, and a slice of cake... about $22. I enjoyed the food. But my lunch break..... was spent wItubg in food.

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.

Really enjoyed the mushroom and the brisket tacos. The mushroom was all vegetables and the brisket had a Parmesan crusted tortilla that added a nice twist to a brisket taco. We sat outside on the patio in the corner closest to McDonalds which was absolutely lovely other than if the breeze hit it just right you could smell McD’s grease trap.

Great place for a quick lunch with tasty tacos. I went in for lunch, and the Service went fast. Got my order in a hast, sat outside, and enjoyed the fully enriched flavor of the tacos I ordered.

+1

The water/ lime that they use to salt the rim of the marg smelled sooo sour and rancid from the foam pad they dip it in. Another complaint it how small the “nachos” serving is. I think we literally had 3 little slivers of meat on the nachos and it was in this tiny dish, I guess it’s just not what I have in mind when I think of a serving of nachos. Other than that, food AMAZING and it was quick.

First time in this location, I like the food and enjoyed it. The only reason for the restart is because of the services there was a guy in the front and he was very rude and very mad and he was not. He taken all the Order sounds like he had a bad day, but will review our comment in the next visit.

Flavorful, creative tacos 🌮 ! Although may need to fine-tune pricing as it was pricey for a taco. Inside was freezing and loud [music]. If you go be sure to grab a seat outside on patio.

Cool vibe entering the place. Menu is decent sized.service was nothing special but decent. For 2 combos we paid $35 including a small tip considering its counter service. We got quesa birria and brisket. They were mid. Brisket had little meat and tasted mostly the tomato and avocado. Birria is not supposed to be pork! It was okay but a little too greasy.i liked the queso with chimichurri and the elote side. I will be back to try the bowls which are tempting.

Yasmin Dwedar

I've only gone to the one in the Woodlands and was obsessed with their Tennessee chicken taco, queso blanco, and elote. I always had to visit when in town. I ordered those exact things recently and was disappointed. Everything was different. New sauces in the queso and elote. Not necessarily bad, but can't say I was a fan. Elote is hard to get wrong so it wasn't bad, but not as good as it used to be. I was disappointed because this used to be a 5 star for me. And, never thought I would say this, but Torchy's is better. Velvet Taco is not bad, but it's not what it used to be, in my opinion.

Aboud Yaqub

Nothing special about this place and I imagine there are better taco spots around. The Elote was great, the tacos were alright, and the velvet cake was dry and disappointing. I doubt Ill be back.

Tuesday May 20, 2025 2nd visit to this location. Cashier was very friendly and helpful. Veggie bowl...$11.50 2 #12 Slow roasted Angus brisket tacos $12.50 Food was good. After almost done eating my mom noticed a cockroach on the floor and discreetly notified the young lady taking out the trash. Another staff member came and took care of the insect, but this incident left a bad taste literally during this visit.

Lower rating due to the plastic ware being in a little container that is unwrapped and touch by everyone’s dirty hands by the register. You touched several sporks to get 1 out…. Ordered the tikka bowl….cabbage did not have a marinated flavor. Just taster raw. Tenders had little sauce BUT generous meat serving. I would not order this bowl again. Lacking in flavor with just a little heat. Street corn was stingy on the cheese and sauce. Other velvet tacos put cilantro on top….none here

One taco, one Paloma, and one order of chips and queso $23. Found a chunk of old cheese in my queso which was also bland. Staff was incredibly nice. service was quick. I won't be returning.

We've been coming here since Velvet Taco opened. At first the tacos and nachos were Great! The last two times that we've got our tacos & nachos to go, they were horrible! The meat isn't any good. Full of fat - not coming back!

Hilariously expensive for how small all the tacos are. Torchy’s right across the street at least loads your taco up. For $6/taco you’d think they’d bigger than a normal sized hand. Also, toast tab tips when every single table was dirty, you bus your own stuff, & they don’t give you any plates to eat your meal. Pretty low bar, but falls in line with most “modern” quick dining establishments.

Expensive tacos. Ordered 4 chicken tacos and drinks $30 plus automatic 20% tip. Tacos were covered in what looked like vomit. Never going back.

Waiting in the drive thru, i order gor number 12 tacos brisket crispy It was awful the taco was cold no crispy very bad Manager need to check the time in the line for drive thru

Extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with my recent dine in experience at the Wlds location. As a frequent, loyal Velvet 🌮customer, the local team has always provided friendly, courteous service along with great food. Luis is the exception- he needs to be properly trained on customer service. I was first greeted by his rude disdain and attitude in taking my order. What really left a sour distaste for this dining visit is Luis’ exact words to me as I reached for a to-go box: “you are going to just take it like that.” Luis was not tending to the counter area but instead socializing with his team mates. This is NOT the appropriate words to be said to any customer. I am so disgusted by Luis and the words he expressed. Luis exhibited outright discourtesy and disrespect- he needs to be placed in the back of the restaurant away from customers. Luis is an ill-fit is for the service industry and ignorant of what true customer service is.

Nothing special. I was excited to try velvet taco out since the menu looks pretty creative. The queso was good, the tacos were a disappointment. Even the fountain soda did not taste good. Left a decent tip only to later realized that besides me ordering at the counter and filling my own drink, I also had to go get my food and clean up after myself. But the tip part is on me for not realizing I had to wait on myself 😅

How do you run out of food when your menu hardly has anything on it? No brisket? No grilled steak? All you had was rotisserie chicken? Not good, Velvet. Not good.

Drinks are always terrible. Taste flat no matter what location I visit. Tacos are the best!

Will DEFINITELY not be back unless the staff and management change. The manager here and the Asian girl have absolutely no customer service skills. Been going to velvet for over 6-7 years and the standards have been dropped ridiculous. They also now false advertise in their emails to get customers in and mislead them. Absolutely unethical and fraudulent business practices. I definitely don’t recommend this location.

Michaela Patterson

I would not recommend this place. I would advise somewhere else. Tacos are so over priced. They tastes bland and just overall terrible. Its like they tried to take tacos and make the fancy style. Highly disappointed.

Jason Aversano

Unfortunately, I have to revise the review that I left below from a few months ago. Love most of what I experience here, but recently noticed that my favorite taco, the buffalo chicken, they're using really fatty chicken pieces, which is just terrible. I made a point of letting the manager know and she apologized and said she would advise the kitchen team to be sure that they are trimming the fat off of the chicken during prep, but I'm still getting fatty pieces. Just disgusting, chewy, and inedible. Sorry guys, I tried to do this through the store, but if you're not going to take it serious when I ask at the store, I'm going to post it so others don't waste their hard earned money on bad quality food. I'm happy to revise this if the quality changes. No, I don't want a coupon or a free meal, just want quality food. Just moved to The Woodlands from SoCal and absolutely impressed with Velvet Taco. Presentation, but more importantly the taste and quality were amazing. Can't say enough good things about it. We'll be back there for sure.

I have not eaten anything from this VT location, but I would like to review and comment on their "customer service". I deliver food as a side gig and I usually enjoy doing it as I ride my motorcycle 🏍 to make the deliveries. Yesterday, 10/12/25 somewhere around 5 pm or so, I was notified to go to this particular VT for a pick up. Upon arrival, I was not greeted as a customer, and really not greeted at all. I announced I had a pick up for customer "X". I was looked down upon by the female at the counter. She begrudgingly went to the online order shelves and looked for my delivery order. She turned and kind of threw it on the counter and then turned to grab the two Coca-Cola cans that went with the order. I asked her pleasantly, even if she wasn't being courteous, "May I have a separate bag for the sodas?". I was given a look of utter shock and disdain. "Just put them in with the food!" was her reply. (If this was the operating procedure of this restaurant, why then we're they not already in the bag?!? Could it be because the soda cans would either warm up or they would make the food cold?!?) I asked nicely for a bag again. I even mentioned that I deliver on a motorcycle and I'd like to keep the soda separate from the food. I was given an exasperated reply of, "Don't you have your own bags???", I replied, "Actually I have an insulated box on the back of my bike with two different compartments for hot and cold food.". She then rolled her eyes and said, "Well, "I don't like giving these bags away. They are very expensive. I can't just give one to you because you want one out of convenience." I'm sure my eyes gave away my utter shock at her reply, to which she said, "OK, I'll do it this one time." I don't know what this was all about but I can say that as a consumer who eats out frequently, I will NEVER eat at this VT location and I will make it a point that my many family and friends in the area NEVER eat here either! I'm sure I'll be back to this location on other deliveries but I'll be sure to mention this act of "kindness" by this employee if one of my customers wonder why there soda cans are warm or the food is cold because of everything being thrown into one bag... Thank you female at the counter yesterday!!

I have no clue if velvet tacos are good as tacos. My friends and I had stopped to grab something to eat quickly. You cannot order online quickly. You are required to start an account or log into an account if you’re not ordering from DoorDash or Uber eats. The tacos we got, the bottom fell out as soon as we went to eat them. We didn’t grab utensils has the only utensils they had were those fork spoon combos that were not sporks, in a universal bin on top of the counter with no lid. There was no way those were not touched by everybody throughout the day or coughed on multiple times.
