Velvet Taco – Chicago, IL

I know these tacos don’t look good but trust me when I say, all of these are really good tacos. This picture doesn’t resonate as appetizing but it really is for sure. The one to the far left is the Nashville Hot Tofu, Slow Roasted Angus Brisket, and the Mexi-Cali Shrimp (remaining four). The one that I really liked, albeit all of them were really good was the Nashville Hot Tofu. I know but let me explain. This taco had crispy tofu, napa slaw, ranch crema, and house brined pickles on a flour tortilla, and it was really good. The fried tofu didn’t taste like anything except all of the flavors and I can say almost like chicken they way it was put together. Now it did have some heat to it but it wasn’t outrageous to the point of it being too overwhelming. They have other tacos on the menu and I wouldn’t be surprised if the others are really good. I like how you can try different ones and being able to pick it up on this unique taco tray holder. The funny thing about this place is that they call your name on the speaker when your order is ready even though the place isn’t too big. Just a nice touch.
