Velvet Taco steals the show! ๐ŸŒฎ

During my recent visit, I couldn't resist ordering a variety of tacos, and each one wowed me with its creativity. The Korean Fried Rice taco was a standout, with juicy meat and a delightful mix of flavors. I also loved the Buffalo Chicken - so satisfying on a tortilla!

The casual vibe and friendly staff made for a relaxed experience, and the outdoor seating is a bonus. Plus, with a $5-$6 price point per taco, you can't beat the quality! Canโ€™t wait to return and explore more options! ๐Ÿ˜
