Velvet Taco, Mexican restaurant in Washington Avenue, Houston, US

Velvet Taco is a restaurant on Washington Avenue serving tacos with international influences, including spicy tikka chicken and beer-battered cauliflower in modern surroundings. The kitchen combines Asian and American elements with Mexican classics across a wide range of taco options.

The restaurant brought an innovative approach to traditional Mexican cooking to Houston through diverse taco combinations and experimental recipes. This focus on fusion tacos set it apart from more classic taqueria concepts in the city.

The menu brings together cooking styles from multiple parts of the world with Mexican roots at its foundation. You notice this blend immediately when you eat, as flavors and cooking methods from different regions come together on each plate.

The restaurant offers flexible dining times and accepts orders through multiple channels for guests with different schedules. Visitors should know that the diverse international menu accommodates different tastes and preferences.

Weekly rotating special tacos present combinations available only for short periods. The red curry coconut queso also surprises with its unexpected flavor profile among traditional Mexican side dishes.
