Velvet Taco's Ft. Worth location was recommended by Zappas Stache in another thread. I didn't end up making it to that location but we stopped at the Henderson Ave location on our way out of town yesterday. Absolutely delicious and we will definitely be back.

I'm a sucker for elote but I saw an order of the tots pass by me and it looked really good. Maybe next time!

I sign off on this place. Went to the one in Dallas. Best tacos I’ve ever had. I think I had two Cubans, and almost got back in line for two more. Line was out the door.

Yea, I'm about 2 miles away from the Henderson location but I always go the Greenville location.....I didn't even know they had one on henderson.
But great tacos, glad you got to try it.

I find Velvet's actual tacos to be pretty meh. I like their queso.

Every Monday they do a special where you can get a whole rotisserie chicken, an elote, pico, tortillas and salsa for 10 bucks. Decent deal when the wife and I don't feel like cooking.

That's their first spot, but I've never been to it either.

It’s pretty meh. They’re inventive and creative tacos, I’ll give them that. If I want white people tacos I’m going to taco deli.

Love Velvet. That Barbacoa one with the cheese crusted tortilla is awesome. Also love the Shrimp & Grits and the Picnic Chicken Taco.

I generally will decide whether I'm going to Velvet or Mariachi based upon the WTF taco of the week at Velvet. If they have the Nashville hot chicken or the fried gator or the camel kabob tacos that'll draw me in.

I'm like you, not wild about gringo tacos. But Velvet has swayed my opinion on that.

The only thing good about Torchy’s is their queso. And their queso is GOAT.
