Globally inspired from cultures all around the world: The Orange Shrimp ๐Ÿค

Almost everyone has tried an orange chicken dish and has a food memory associated with it. We took the classic version and elevated it by swapping in shrimp and adding some baby bok choy. Our orange sauce alone is made up of 12 ingredients. When is the first time you remember having orange chicken? ๐Ÿค”

Everything we do is done with a purpose. From the simple act of roasting our corn husk on to the 48 hours of prep we invest in our rotisserie chicken. For our chefs, every tortilla is the canvas for a hand-crafted work of art that looks and tastes amazing.

We Make Velvet Taco

Velvet Taco is a temple to the liberated taco. Weโ€™re a one-of-a-kind taco concept serving premium food in a unique & funky fast-casual setting. Founded on the idea that tacos donโ€™t have to be associated with Tex-Mex cuisine and can be made with the same care and quality ingredients as fine dining, Velvet Taco is where โ€œanything goes meets the art of the possible.โ€

Some cool things about us: we use only the freshest ingredients available to offer a menu that explores the edge of multi-cultural boundaries, liberating tacos to a whole new level. We make our own tortillas, slow roast our own chicken and corn, use lots of booze in our margaritas, and make everything from scratch. Which means our food tastes really awesome.

Our tacos may not change the entire world, but we think theyโ€™re pretty freakinโ€™ great.
