Velvet Taco Lubbock: Reviews & Ratings
I was absolutely impressed! The service was fast, and friendly the portion was fantastic, the food tasted amazing. I had the brisket nachos. The only down side.. very small dining room.
This place was phenomenal! We got the brisket nachos and they were amazing. We will be back when we come to lubbock
This was only my second visit to a Velvet Taco anywhere and omg I wasn’t disappointed. This location is literally across the street from the Texas Tech campus so I finally had the chance to visit this weekend. I was there around 5p on Saturday and it was empty, which was good for me because there was little to no wait. There maybe 3 other people there - I’m sure they get busy later with the college crowd, but this was perfect for me. Restaurant was clean and had lots of local references in the decor. I enjoyed the chicken tikka taco last time so ordered it again - still great, strong praise for consistency across locations! I tried the breaded cauliflower for the first time as it was marked as a fan favorite and now I know why! The cauliflower is nice and meaty, the breading is light, and the toppings just came together very nicely. I live banh mi sandwiches so was excited to try this monthly special taco, it didn’t really work for me. I would’ve liked it better had there been just a tad more sweetness to some element, preferably the pickled onions. The blue corn tortilla chips were crispy, fresh, and just a tad bit salty - so perfect and since I ordered to go, I got a huge bag of them! And the elote was perfectly balanced with cheese, mayo/hot sauce, and the corn was grilled and tasty. Staff was friendly, order was ready quickly, overall I’d rate this location higher than 5 stars if I had the option!
Food was good! Service was fast!
Literally the best and most original tacos I’ve ever had. My husband and I came here after seeing the Texas Monthly article about Velvet Taco. Want a taco that’s not boring? Here’s your place. Loved the chicken and mac and cheese taco, as well as the chicken and waffles taco. This is a new favorite for sure!!
Food was absolutely amazing!! Everything came presented so well and tasted even better! Overall this should be a spot for everyone to at least try once!!
I thought our tacos were very tasty.
We ordered two combos, one with the smash burger taco and the slow roasted brisket. I loved it!!! The second combo was my husbands, he got a the chicken and waffle taco and a buffalo chicken taco. He couldn’t eat the buffalo chicken taco because of the sauce. But no problem! The staff was quick to find something else he likes and they gave him another taco for free!!! My son order the kids tenders and he was content. My daughter ordered the kids chicken taco and she enjoyed it as well! The food was delicious and perfect amount of portions!! If you know what your usually go-to food choices are, this place is supper easy to pick and enjoy I will definitely visit again soon!!
