Velvet Tacos Prepares for Debut; More Sites Planned

As the owners of Velvet Taco prepare to make its Arizona debut in the next few days, more sites are being planned.

Earlier this year, What Now Phoenix reported on Velvet Taco opening in the former home of Second Story Liquor Bar and Gelato Spot at 4166 N Scottsdale Rd . The Dallas-based fast-casual spot will open in Old Town Scottsdale on November 4, but that appears to be just the beginning for the company, according to Phoenix New Times . CEO Clay Dover tells the publication they’re actively looking for additional locations around the Valley.

“It’s the first of many more to come,” Dover tells Phoenix New Times.

While it’s unclear exactly when and where additional Velvet Tacos will land in the Valley, exciting guests are encouraged to visit the first one when it opens in early November. Customers can expect a menu featuring 20 different tacos inspired by other global dishes and flavors. On top of various delicious tacos, including a rotating weekly taco special, Velvet Taco also offers nachos, elote dip, red velvet cake, and a full bar, offering local beer and frozen margaritas. The new restaurant will be open daily, featuring an 88-seat dining room and a 20-seat patio, and open until 3 am.
