Velvet Taco offers a thoughtfully created, chef-driven menu with scratch-made everything, including slow roasted marinated brisket, dry-rubbed pulled pork, tomato chutney prepared with fresh grilled vegetables, all sauces and more. The globally inspired cuisine that just happens to be in a tortilla is innovative and imaginative, yet still approachable while pushing the envelope.
“As we continue to set the standard in food hall curation, the addition of Velvet Taco is a reflection of our commitment to our guests,” said Kulsoom Klavon, Vice President Curation at Food Hall Co., Legacy Hall’s parent company. “We are thrilled to have Velvet Taco as our newest restaurant partner. Our guests will enjoy Velvet Taco’s first and only location in Plano.”
The new restaurant will feature a limited menu of five signature tacos including the Spicy Tikka Chicken, Slow Roasted Angus Brisket and Cuban Pig; sides offered will be the ‘Elote’ corn and Red Curry Coconut Queso. And, of course guests can also expect to see a brand standout: the “WTF” (rotating Weekly Taco Feature).
A new outdoor patio will be added to Legacy Hall adjacent to the Velvet Taco space with additional seating and a pickup window.
“We think Legacy Hall is the perfect spot to introduce our tacos to Plano,” said Clay Dover, Velvet Taco President and Taco Maker. “This location has such a fun and unique feeling, which fits perfectly with our brand’s personality, and what we convey through our tacos.”
Velvet Taco will be open for lunch, dinner and late-night.
About Velvet Taco
Velvet Taco is a first-of-its-kind concept serving globetrotting flavors in a unique and funky fast-casual setting. Founded in 2011 in Dallas, TX with the idea that tacos do not have to be inspired only by Tex-Mex cuisine. Velvet Taco draws from a broad sampling of international taste influences to create tacos and other menu items that are as memorable as they are delicious. Each week, guests can sample a new and exotic pairing atop a tortilla as part of the restaurant’s Weekly Taco Feature (#WTF). The all-day menu features scratch-made everything, including corn tortillas, slowly roasted rotisserie meats and corn, fresh fruit margaritas and a signature red velvet cake for dessert. And the newly added brunch menu includes clever twists on favorites like the Chicken and Waffle Taco. Currently, there are nine Velvet Taco locations in Texas and Illinois with plans for additional restaurants in other markets opening in 2019.
