About

Velvet Taco is a casual Mexican-inspired eatery specializing in tacos and quick bites, recently opening a location inside an airport. The beer-battered cauliflower taco (customizable vegan by omitting dairy) and guacamole with chips are popular plant-based choices. While some guests praise the flavorful brisket taco, others report inconsistent food quality and slow service, especially during busy times, which may affect the overall experience.
