WOW! Awesome tacos. Came here with two friends on a Wednesday afternoon. Service was relatively quick, but was most surprised by the quality of the tacos. Really tasty. I ordered the salmon and fried fish taco. Both were excellent in different ways. A great amount of sauce and the tortillas were great. Will be back if I'm in the area
Velvet Taco is such a laid-back, super casual spot. Every taco I've tried here has been nothing short of incredible. And the added bonus? They serve some great cocktails too! An all-around fantastic place for a chill place for lunch or dinner.
One word: Wowza! Velvet Taco has some wonderful concoctions of flavor and fun. I had the Spicy Tikka Chicken taco and the Steak Chimichurri taco and both were delicious. The Tikka Chicken taco was absolutely amazing and I never would have thought it would be so good. I 100% recommend that taco, maybe with some of the loaded nachos. The inside is modern and colorful and the service is simple and quick. Overall, I will definitely be coming back and best believe I’m getting the velvet cake next time, too.
Best taco ever had in my life ! Loved it The mushroom and pulled pork were magic. Size are good probably not enough for it is so good. The venue is very simple and food comes quite fast. Highly recommend the cauliflower. So good we had to order more ! Took recipes home for enjoying
Wow! My 1st time at a Velvet Tacos. Very good fusion & I really liked what they have done with tacos. But I have had better tacos. I loved the Thai curry queso with blue corn chips. Mediterranean Mushroom taco is very good. Not enough seating arrangement. Gets really crowded in the evenings.
Tried 4 tacos (Mexican Cali shrimp, grilled salmon, Kobe Smash, rotisserie chicken) and all were either too sweet or salty but did like beef Kobe Smash burger. Guacamole and queso dips were good. Upstairs dining was even hotter than downstairs. No air conditioning. 1 Unisex restroom upstairs.
A sweet taco spot it's bigger than you think dinr forget about the upstairs, and I personally loved the salmon taco but I don't think you can get a bad taco here. Carlita was super nice and informative.
Delicious specialty tacos. Velvet Taco was recommended to me so I gave it a try. This is Tex Mex type of taco with soft shells and interesting combinations. I had the tikka and brisket versions and enjoyed them both. The Tikka has a nice creamy and slightly spicy Tikka sauce that goes extremely well in taco form. The brisket was tender and well seasoned if maybe slightly salty, but that's personal preference. The others I was with got the pulled pork taco and Korean friend rice version and they enjoyed it. The space is very small for such a popular place and the seating is bench style. To go is probably the best option or visit during a non meal time frame. The red velvet cake is delicious. A final note, there is a lot of sauce on the tacos.
I ordered the quesabirria taco dinner, an elote, churro, and a horchata. Just like their location near Lakeview, the food was amazing. Everything fresh and most importantly the meat is great quality. Horchata is made horrible at many places but Taco
Came here for lunch. Not crowded at all, we were practically the only ones there. Had the Zombie Burrito, which was outstanding although pricey. Otoh, it was very filling. I should have saved half for later but it was so good I couldn't stop eat
Velvet taco offers great food and fast service in a casual environment. I loved the unique offerings like the grilled salmon and spicy tikka chicken. While the environment is no frills it was fairly clean but itâs definitely a casual place. I will
We really enjoyed our visit to Big Star. Tried different tequilas and mezcal. We also tried the nachos with pork shoulder and elote. Delicious! The bartenders were great. Good conversation and an awesome vinyl collection (they played entire albums!)
Absolutely love this gym. I am not a gym person. I came in not even knowing how to hold weights and gyms have always intimidated me. My trainer has provided guidance and workout adjustments to make sure Iâm safely pushing myself. And the other fol
We love Cafe Calida so much. We came here our last two mornings of our trip and regretted not coming earlier. Great menu with delicious pastries. My husband got a mocha and I got a Chai latte and they were both so delicious. Our first morning we came

Ive been coming to the Garage Gym heavy AF classes for 6 weeks now and absolutely love them! I was previously just doing one class a week and purchased the five pack, but I decided to move forward with a membership to start going multiple times a wee
In Chicago and stopped by this place. Grand opening for them. Wonderful people with a great spirit overall. Had a chance to dive into the whole thing of coffee coming from Ethiopia after meeting their African-American roaster of coffee. Lovely time -
This apartment was a great find for us. We had 4 adults and 5 kids and had plenty of space to fit us all comfortably. Importantly for our group the kitchen is well equipped - there have been many places we've stayed where there aren't enough bowls an
Pizza was great. I love this style of pizza. Itâs a great place for a low key date night. Prices were extremely reasonable, especially for the quality. It is a family run business, the family has 2 generations of pizza making experience. Itâs a s
I recently joined CrossFit Park Ridge and hands down, best choice Iâve made. Very warm and welcoming community. Workouts are challenging and never boring. And coaches are great! My only regret is not joining sooner. If youâre ready and serious a
I tell all my friends who visit Chicago, or move there to check out Fly Club. The instructors are top-tier and it's a privilege to have so much talent in one facility. The spaces are beautiful, and the community is very welcoming. Even if you're a gu
I'm writing this review after taking a full year of classes at Vibez. Initially, I bought class packs and then signed up for the monthly membership (8 classes a month) once I knew it was a good fit. Over the course of 2023, I lost more than 20 pounds
